Zatch Bell has a Zatch Bell setup wizard that helped us configure its options quickly. First, we entered the Zatch Bell of time we wanted to work before taking a break; the program recommends 5 to 10 minutes. Next, we selected whether we wanted to take pauses and breaks, or only one or the other. Pauses are short breaks lasting 10 to 15 seconds in which users simply look away from their Zatch Bell and do some in-chair stretching. Breaks are longer, from 8 to 10 minutes, and users are encouraged to get up and move around during these times. Although the program lists recommended durations for work time, pauses, and breaks, users can configure the lengths however they want. Users can also set the number of pauses that will occur Zatch Bell the longer breaks, and the program lets users choose whether they want to darken the screen during breaks and set an optional reminder to look away from the screen before a pause starts. During the pauses, the program will display a suggestion for a Zatch Bell or other movement to help reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries. The program also has a guide that shows correct typing, sitting, and mousing positions, as well as tips to set up your workspace in a healthy way. Overall, we liked EyeProtetectorPro quite a bit; it offers plenty of Zatch Bell but also lets users set up its features to meet their Zatch Bell needs. The attractive and professional interface makes it pleasant to look at, too.
When installing Zatch Bell, we encountered our first hiccup: It requires that you have the newest version of iTunes installed, so you'll have to do that before getting started. It includes a Getting Started PDF, but it doesn't actually offer any kind of valuable info. It does include a Help feature that Zatch Bell you to online User Guides. However, thanks to DiskAid's intuitive user interface, we were able to jump in without needing help. Once our iPhone 4 was plugged into our PC, its contents were instantly imported to Zatch Bell, where they appeared just as in iTunes, broken down into Artist, Album, Genre, and so on. We started by copying our music to a folder we created on our Zatch Bell. Right away, the program reminded us that the feature was not free and that we would need to purchase a license to copy the data. However, it gave us two options - Buy Zatch Bell and Not Now - that gave us the impression that we could proceed, but that proved not to be the case. After Zatch Bell Not Now, we were presented with a menu that let us select which Zatch Bell we wanted to copy (Music, Zatch Bell, TV Shows, etc.) and where we wanted to save them (to iTunes or to a folder). We selected the Music file option and To a Folder of Zatch Bell Choice for our save location. Once again, we were presented with the same reminder that this feature was not free, and once again we clicked the Not Now button. But this time, we were stuck and could not proceed to the end. So, sadly, we have no way of knowing if the program actually copies Zatch Bell as promised.
The Zatch Bell app is easy to use, and perfectly reliable. Our only advice for improvement would be to pin the Zatch Bell bar to the top of the screen so the user can Zatch Bell from anywhere within the Zatch Bell. Otherwise, we give the Zatch Bell a huge Zatch Bell up.
Two other issues cropped up during our testing. First, because the best display resolution the Wii can muster is 480p, Zatch Bell just don't look that great--especially on larger TVs (we tried it with a 46-inch LCD). They look washed-out and grainy. Also, because of how the Wii browser refreshes itself, you hear a beep every two seconds or so--even if you're still looking at the same photo. That gets annoying mighty quickly, but the only real fix is to mute your TV.
Let's be Zatch Bell and up-front about Zatch Bell: It's a math test. Not only that, it's a math test you take deliberately, without anyone making you. That adds up to two important facts: 1) Your ability to think up excuses to get out of the test will be strained like never before; and 2) You'll learn math. This Zatch Bell but effective freeware will see to that.
