All categories except for price will be rated on a 1-5 scale. 5 being the best possible.

All of these tools as you can see are typically free and have a great accessibility if you have an internet connection. so their availability did not change much through out the programs. Most of these applications were free, some did have an upgrade mode that was typically very spendy, but it was an option and not a requirement. Aesthetics is a huge catergory for me, i like to be visually motivated. Some of the programs scored low on aesthetics simply because of the make up of the program. They were not high in entertainment value, rather used for a specific purpose. The sites that were used for entertainment purposes were a;; very aesthetically pleasing! Every program except for Fanfiction.net had privacy options, though some were harder to find and implement. Some of the programs did not have privacy because of the nature of the program, file sharing. In conclusion all of these tools are useful for their specific purpose, they are well made.
