Summary: Dora Knows Your Name Software is NOT Mac Compatible

Review: Being a Mac user, I wanted to know if the software used for this toy is Mac compatible. I couldn't find the information online, but when I spoke to Fisher Price customer service, they confirmed the the software is, indeed, NOT Mac compatible. You need Window 2000 or higher. (You can ignore my star rating - I don't have an opinion yet, since I didn't buy it because it's not Mac compatible.)

Review: I purchased this doll for my 3-year-old daughter for Christmas, and I have to say, I'm really impressed. It's amazing to hear it say your child's name! You can also program it with three other names that Dora will incorporate into the things she says, which I love. She really does "know" every name you can think of! My son's name is Benson, and I thought we'd probably have to settle for Dora saying "Benny," but no! Even Benson was on her list! My husband is a product design engineer, and even he was super impressed by the features of this doll. They really did think of everything--you can even program it while it's still in the box! Yes, I think it's kind of a pain that Dora can't remember more and that I'll have to reprogram her twice a week or so, but to see your daughter's face on Christmas morning when she hears Dora say her name will be priceless!

NOTE FOR PARENTS PROGRAMMING THE DOLL ON CHRISTMAS EVE WHEN FISHER-PRICE IS CLOSED: When I installed the drivers for this doll on my computer that runs Windows XP, I received an error message from Microsoft saying the software hadn't been tested by Microsoft for compatibility with Windows XP and that I shouldn't install it or it might make my computer unstable, susceptible to a virus, etc. I called Fisher-Price's customer service, and they told me the software was tested by their engineers and that it's completely safe. They told me to click "continue" to install the software. I just thought I'd pass the tip along!

Again, this doll is SO unqiue! It's definitely the hot, must-have toy for Christmas!

Review: I was so impressed with how simple it is to program Dora. I was so dissapointed when she did'nt work. I am sending it back today and hope I get a working replacement in time for xmas. Looks like a really cool doll. I'm sure my 4y daughter will love it. Hopefully I can put in another reveiw soon and give Dora 5 stars. P.S. Amazon/toysrus.. return policy/practice is AWSOME.........its so easy. Thank you Amazon!!!!!

Review: My daughter received this a few days early for her third birthday. We gave it to her early, because Dora counts down to the child's birthday AND birthday party (you program in both dates). She absolutely loves it.

You program in what time the child eats meals, naps and goes to bed. As long as Dora's switch is in the on position, she will say something to the effect of "it is time to eat dinner!" even when not being played with.

Also, the size and feeling of the doll is perfect. She is huggable and perfect for toting around.

The only thing I want to mention is that Dora can only hold three items in memory (of songs/games/stories) you have to be prepared to revist the computer anytime you want to change the song, story, or games. Not a huge deal, but I wasn't expecting that and thought I should mention it. It would be nice if once programmed, you only had to revisit the computer to change preferences (like favorite food/color/time for nap).

Otherwise, it is great. Every time Dora says her name, my daughter beams. And she brings her EVERYWHERE.

Review: I am so impressed with this toy. They have set it up so you can download all the information to Dora with out even taking her out of the box. She is all ready for Christmas. I can't wait for my daughter to open it and hear Dora say her name and know what she likes and her activites. You can also put in the names of your childs friends and family. She sings songs and play games. This toy is great!
