She's definately one of boonex employees or else she wouldn't brag so much knowing that what she says just isnt true. I've tried dolphin software ever since 5.6 version.. EVERY version so far has been totally full of bugs with very little functionality.. And boonex has NEVER fixed the bugs in any version.. instead they move on to a newer totally different version , abandoning that project while promising it'll be better next time, but never has boonex created a functioning software.. and its not free.. not if you want your own site instead of an advertising site for boonex.. if you use their free version, it basically belongs to boonex and as I stated , neither free nor paid versions work worth a diddly.

If phpbb wrote a perfect forum script first time out, there would be no need for phpbb2 or phpbb3 would there? There would be no need for phpbb2/3 to release bug fixes would there? But they do and they have been around for over 10 years. A lot longer than Boonex. The people that bad mouth Dolphin have no right to, Dolphin works, it is the best you'll ever find, Yes Boonex support is Below average, but i understand why, they get 1,000 of emails like "my site wont work why?" i dont reply to that crap in the forums, why would boonex pay a member of staff to reply to that? Robert Lee, to suggest that all unity members only reply if you are willing to pay them, is just not true, and to suggest that Unity members do not offer any help is also not true. I for one have posted over 500 replies to quetions asked in the forums, and spent countless hours posting server configurations to help others get their sites running. I am also writing a Dolphin for Dummies guide to improve the Documentation. All for free and using my time, where i could be making money from my own work and businesses, and i am not the only one. lots of others help. Boonex makes mistakes, we all make mistakes. but i am not afraid to make my feelings public and post in my blog when Boonex makes a mistake. Try reading my blog on Unity and you'll see what i am talking about. But i will defend Boonex when people say that Dolphin is the biggest load of crap they ever seen. The sad fact is today, people see the drag and drop page builder and think because they can copy and paste a myspace background on myspace, Dolphin is going to be so easy they'll make a site and millions of dollars and become an over night webmaster. Dream on, you need to learn to read, use the search, and have some IT/webmaster skills before you even attempt to use Dolphin. Boonex, you Rock. at least the people who are professional know what you offer is the best on the market. I'll still post and keep you on your toes Mr Boon when things aint going good.

We also made a purchase for this software and paid almost $1,000.00 dollars for one of the other projects that we were launching earlier this year. The support was horrible and even my team, of very well versed programmers, could not make simple changes to it. When we asked for support it was nearly impossible to get. The majority of our questions went unanswered. I respect anyone that makes a stance in the marketplace with their software, but Dolphin is by far not a good piece of software. It is very resource intensive, cumbersome, hard to manage and the support/documentation for it is just down right LOUSY. From a 1 to 10 overall rating I would have to call it a 3. If you are looking for good dating software that is well documented, easy to manage, and has decent support I would highly recommend http://www.vldpersonals.com.

These guys can everything - create excitement and hype around mediocre products, make promises, look like they listen to people but they just can't write good software. When you look at the code and database structure, it's like 30 people wrote it simultaneously without thinking/discussing/projecting. You can start developing for Dolphin within 5 minutes (because there's no structure at all) - but you can't get this damn thing finally working. By fixing bugs you can easily break other features. Things are being like that with all their releases in spite of them saying "this time it's different and we fixed all bugs we could find" every time. Their community revolves around freelancers seeking to make a quick buck out of clueless people. Bon, you call that community? Ecosystem?

Everyone wants others to pay to learn how to use it and documentation is very sparse. We used Dolphin and it was a major pain to get even the simplest questions answered. We will be transitioning to a different platform in the future, mostly because of this key distinction of Dolphin - lack of support and documentation.
