  • Delightfully easy to use. Tightly integrated. Creates beautiful content.
  • Closed ecosystem doesnt accept much content from other software. Generally, fewer features than top competing products.
  • iLife is a triumph. Its the easiest way to turn your digital photos, movies, and mumblings into beautiful online and DVD content. Just dont expect geeky levels of flexibility or power....

  • Occasionally buggy, Shallow image- and movie-editing features, Pricey .Mac subscription
  • You have to hand it to Apple. It knows how to pile on the iCandy. This major upgrade of the iLife suite has in most of its components at least one "whoa, cool" moment when it does something deliciously neat. In iMovie its the skimming previews where y...

  • Abstract:  iLife ‘08 brought us a completely new iMovie. Totally rewritten, it uses a different interface for building movies. It is a significantly easier interface to use and was a stroke of genius by its creator. However, iMovie ‘08 lacks many standar...

  • Apple iLife 08 applications have elegant interfaces, integrate well, and tie into .Mac, iTunes, and YouTube accounts. iPhoto nicely organizes pictures by events, iMovie is drag-and-drop simple, and GarageBand offers more controls.
  • iMovies radical rebuild omits features for precision edits; must pay for .Mac account to make the most of iPhoto.
  • Apple iLife 08 is a fine, affordable media-editing suite that should keep beginners and hobbyists happy when managing pictures, videos, songs, and podcasts, but those seeking to fine-tune movies should look elsewhere.

  • On the whole, we have very few criticisms of iLife. As ever, it represents superb value for money and the new versions of iPhoto, GarageBand and even iWeb are impressive (barring a few iWeb glitches of which you need to be aware). Even the minor upgrad...

  • Abstract:  This latest edition of Apples popular "digital lifestyle" suite is less a mandatory update than a root-and-branch overhaul. However, its not an all-round winner. The many neat new crowd-pleasing features are balanced by some parts, notably iMovie, w...
