It's not a scam, they claim a refund if the goal is not met so it seems like a safe bet.

Even though I swore never to give them money again, I have to admit $40 to get their top of the line package is a steal no matter how you look at it.

From my previous experience with them, I'm still going to abstain from giving them my money again.


I'll put this heed out there for the rest of you folks to think about as you consider buying into this package.


First, this is totally my opinion from my experience with the company. If things have changed since, when I dealt with them, then perhaps, all the better...


Messiah is a continual work in progress. A lot of software are works in progress. MoI is a work in progress.

However from my experience, when >bugs< are discovered in the software, typically they are not immediately fixed; the experience you enjoy here with Michael IS NOT what you're going to see with Messiah!

You won't see ALL of version 5's "stated features" FIXED and working BEFORE the move onto V6 - it's a rolling development where I'll say, "eventually" things get fixed as time moves on.


The majority of bugs are usually fixed within the next paid upgrade for the package - let this sink in as you consider buying into this package!


Unlike say Michael who completes ALL the stated features in a specific version, and then "teases" you to buy the next version by letting you play with a "Beta" of the upcoming features (thereby getting you >hooked<), these folks (IMO) hook you by fixing the bugs you've been complaining about, in the next version.
(Now I don't know about you, but I prefer Michael's way, which is way more of an "attractive" incentive than the frustration I've experienced with the Messiah folks - which turned into negative incentive in my case!)


If you come across a small bug, an annoyance at most, great, BUT if you find show stoppers with certain features (as I did), you can submit bug reports till your face turns blue but don't expect a FIX until it's time to pay again for the NEXT upgrade.

Keep this >business practice< in mind as you buy into this program and company...
