This is made by 2Simple software who create a lot of software for schools - mostly reimplementation of existing software, but "simple". For example, they do a painting product that is essentially a simple-looking MS Paint. As such, it makes the interface a little more approachable for younger pupils (KS1, Years 1 and 2) but quickly becomes limiting for KS2 pupils. This looks like a reimplementation of Powerpoint with text boxes to type into and simple addition of images, but with built-in help sheets. As such I'd view this as a time-saver for teachers or "extra work" product for pupils to use with little input from the teacher. However, I'd expect KS2 pupils to be using Powerpoint and Publisher independently anyway (which in most schools they can, and do). For a piece of software hitting a particular niche it's reasonably priced. From my perspective a similar outcome can be achieved through software they already have in combination with a little preparation.
