Stardock Reviews 330

My username is my email address. I changed it to my current address as the previous one became defunct. But, I couldn't change it because I couldn't validate at the old address. What to do? Here comes Stardock customer service to the rescue. In two days I got all the software activation codes for the all the software I have purchased over the years. Now my computer looks and acts the way I want it to. I have been using Stardock software since the days of Windows 7. I am always happy with the quality and innovation in every one of their products. Apple has got nothing at all like this.

I've had a good experiene with Fences 6 until now. I need to renew my software and did so. Received a confirmation. Unfortunately, the instructions on how to let copy of fences know of the renewal is missing. My software will stop working in three days. There is NO way to contact the company or the company that handle the sales process. Beware of this company !

Love the selection of pictures. I just wish it wouldn't take so many resources. It may just be my machine, but it seems to run my RAM/CPU usage a bit higher.

Impossible to uninstall, scummy af

Groupy is one of those apps that feels so natural it should already be part of Windows. The ability to group apps and windows into tabs makes multitasking cleaner, faster, and far less cluttered. Once you use it, going back to regular window management feels outdated.

I look at my wife's computer when she has multiple windows open and I don't know how she manages to find things. Groupy keeps everything neat a tidy with the tabs easily accessible. Like Fences and Start...I don't think I could manage a screen nearly as easily as I can now.

Love Start8/10/11, but the support is non-existent.

I asked a simple question over three years ago. I didn’t get a response, so I sent a reminder - that was two years ago. Still no response, but yesterday I got an automated message declaring that “…the status has changed to Done”. Stardock support is non-existent!

Deskcapes 11 works well on my Windows 11 desktop.

Microsoft tried to add the features Groupy, and they couldn't. Groupy does one thing, and it does it well. It groups applications into tab groups. The tabs can be for multiple instances of the same application or different applications.
I always use Groupy with OneNote so I can have multiple notes close together.

I request a refund because I was double billed for the same product, I don't need information on software activation or how to use the software.

The AI software is bad but happily their live customer service is great. They responded quickly and resolved my issue. I am therefore changing my evaluation from a 1 to a 5.

Descapes 11. It is one of my favorite programs, with over 4000 animations to choose from. I have 21 folders, each with about 115, set to change every 5 minutes. Sure beats a photo desktop any day. I highly recommend all Stardock products. No other developer comes close to the quality and choices that you can customize your software. Very reasonably priced

Allows me to open multiple desktop apps with one or two clicks -- total of 8 in groups of two, each on own monitor. Others can be added with a right click.

Software does what it says on the box.
It does exactly what it should and nothing it should not.

Great forum support.

I cannot live without Groupy, and have been unable to live without many of the StarDoc Windows improvements since the early days of WindowBlinds. Thanks StarDock!

I bought software from them, but I can't download it as it's "no longer available to download from us."

I tried contacting their support but they don't do anything and refuse to refund me.

I've been using Groupy for many years, and it has helped me keep my desktop so much tidier and organized. I can create one or several groups and easily see all the open apps in tabs. Over the years, it's become very stable and easy to manage.

The features of the app help increase my productivity.

I contacted Stardock for support for Start11 because of two significant problems with it installed on a computer running Windows 11 25H2. I found that Support for Start11 is ONLY by a Community Forum. The persons I have dealt with have been unhelpful and even made silly responses.

As I recall, I called Stardock and pushed every button for perhaps every option and was not able to speak to ANYONE. I don't remember for sure if I was even able to leave a message. I cannot recommend them at all because of their lack of professional support for their own product!
