    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its free and i did learn the basics


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Once i was able to break it down into pieces his structure was pointing from one branch to another without the transitions in place


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I had to figure out the transitions by trial and error
