This powerful screen capture and recording program has a new home on my desktop.

PROS

I'm a former Snagit user that recently picked up CloudApp on an Appsumo deal. I'm glad I did, because this software has essentially replaced Snagit and helped me communicate ideas quickly with everyone including clients, customers, family and friends. The software sits in your system tray and allows 1 click recording or capturing of GIFs, video or screen. And once the capture is taken, it automatically uploads it and copies the link to your clipboard. Other helpful features include... Analytics Link shortening Annotations Search feature (priceless) Comments (can be disabled) Sync If you need a quick way to record screens and share them, this is it.

CONS

I don't have any cons to list on this one. Everything from the UI to the features are well designed and operate properly.

Perfect tool for visual communication

As a relatively techie company, often times we need to share screenshots or short videos of the many programs we use. CloudApp helps us share these images and videos efficiently with our distributed team, in just a few click.

PROS

CloudApp is the ultimate communication tool for teams. With just a few clicks, you can record your screen and share it with your team in seconds. I especially like the fact that you can create animated GIFs, something that isn't available in similar software.

CONS

The landing page created by CloudApp when you share a video or a screenshot isn't as clean and polished as I'd like it to be. But other than that, it's an excellent program.

Reason for choosing Zight (formerly CloudApp)

I'm still using both: CloudApp and Greenshot. CloudApp has more featured, especially the animated GIF, that's why I'm using it over Greenshot.

Worst Customer Service I have ever experienced

We have been cloudapp customers for more than two years with 16 purchased seats. Lately we downsized because of corona and I was planning to reduce those seats to 5. Unfortunately I missed renewal window by one day, i.e. it has been renewed yesterday and I removed unused seats today. Then I contacted their customer support asking for refund. They said they don't give refunds for whatever reason. Yes, I understand it's in their terms and conditions, but it does not matter, it is still the worst customer service I have ever seen. Mistakes happen. I made a honest mistake, I was late with cancellation for just one day and they essentially stole my $1000+. I don't really know how else to call it other than stealing.

PROS

I somewhat liked the software itself, even though it's pricey and there are plenty of alternatives.

CONS

They don't have any customer service, what they have are account managers who always try to upsell you.

Great application for getting your message across

CloudApp makes it extremely easy for us to record videos, create tutorials, and help our customers with a sleek piece of software.

PROS

CloudApp is a very powerful application with a lot of useful features.

CONS

There is a slight learning curve about what all CloudApp can do.

Reason for choosing Zight (formerly CloudApp)

CloudApp makes it easy to capture shorter pieces of content, while ScreenFlow is better for longer recordings and editing.
