Great for quick video
Been a great experience so far, I use it mainly to create quick personalised videos for prospects/clients. Simple to start from the browser extension, quick to save and be available to share the link. I have customised it to have brand colours, a logo that links to my booking page.
PROSThis software is great for doing quick videos that can be quickly shared - think Loom - with your own branding, a link on the customisable player that can include your logo with a link to a booking page or whatever suits your need. Also has the ability to add CTA's, forms, trim the video, create playlists and much more. Quick and simple to use from the browser extension allowing sharing with or without webcam, create the video then share the link.
CONSSo far I haven't found any issues that have been a problem.

A fully immersive brand experience
Fantastic! It was one of my best purchases on appsumo and I'm thrilled to be a user and fan.
PROSFor a brand strategist, StoryXpress is the ultimate win for me. I'm able to provide a cohesive look/feel for my clients through the customized video landing pages. I can easily share my thoughts, my screen, my work with less back and forth than ever before.
CONSI wish there was an easier way to use the tools while recording. Sometimes I feel like I click on draw, then have to remember to go back in to click through cursor. It would be great if there was an easier way to "x" out of a feature while recording live.
Reason for choosing StoryXpress
Great special on AppSumo!
Reasons for switching to StoryXpress
The ability to host unlimited videos, customized video landing pages, and a full brand experience with analytics.

Almost.
When it works it's good. If it's a tool you want to rely on or build business processes around (as the price would suggest) it's hard to justify.
PROSThe chrome extension (when it works) is quick and the the uploads are fast.
CONSIt was advertised with features (no branding/blurring etc.) that don't exist and it is often quite buggy. The customer care team have acknowledged both inconsistencies without doing anything about it. Hard to trust.

Needed a quick screen recorder, especially for describing technical issues
Have used it several times to show tech support what I need to show them instead of having to type it out. I work with many vendors and software companies as an entrepreneur so being able to express my problem through video that's immediately shareable is invaluable and saves me SO much time. Overall a very positive experience. It's not something I need every day, but when I need it, it does the job better than anything I've used.
PROSIncredibly easy and fast to use. You click a button, it's recording, when you're finished, it gives you a shareable link right away. No waiting. No messing with settings or rendering to a local file or having to upload. It's just done and you can move on with your day. Also like the ability to draw or text on the screen while recording though I haven't used that yet, but I know it's possible.
CONSWant to be able to select an area of the screen to record, but it doesn't do that. Would like to be able to set defaults instead of having to select the options I want every time. Like when I activate it, it'd be nice if it was already set to Audio Off and Screen Only. Doesn't lower my score, it's just a "would be nice" feature.
Reason for choosing StoryXpress
Found out Snagit doesn't actually record video, only screen shots. It was a big let down.
Reasons for switching to StoryXpress
Camtasia is an amazing product that I still use, but it has no function to do quick recordings. In Camtasia, you record the screen, produce the video, render it, upload it, finally get the link, then share the link. In StoryXpress, you record, stop recording, share the link. It doesn't get any simpler than that!

Intuitive & packed with features.
At the moment, I'm mainly using StoryXpress for training videos. I plan to use it for copy critiques and presentations in the future though.
PROSI like the fact I can brand and track videos. I haven't had the chance to make the most of this functionality yet, but I have plenty of use-cases in mind for it.
CONSSometimes it's hard to get out of the 'face only intro' to go straight to the screen. But that's probably user-error!

Best video recording software I've used
I use this for almost all of my proposals now and it has been a game changer!
PROSNot only has this product worked without flaws since I got it, but also the team has been incredibly responsive and fast when it comes to implementing new ideas into the interface.
CONSThe email integration for Gmail (via Chrome) can be a bit buggy at times, but still fully functional.

Simple to use with loads of features
The ease of use is definitely one of the best features of this product. Within minutes, you can start recording your screen with a professional-looking webcam overlay. The in-recording options to draw, erase, and highlight are incredibly effective.
CONSNo technical issues so far, some of the in-recording features are slow to get to without hotkeys. It would be nice to pre-record/test-run before a final recording as the time spent selecting tools, erasing, etc. without hotkeys will need to be edited.

My Loom alternative
As a marketer who does a lot of cold-outreach, using StoryXpress is a great way to remove the "cold" out of the equation. What I do is that I typically record myself on camera with my client's website as a background and I do a typical sandwich recording... Where I say something good about their website, followed by something I can do for them, followed by another cool thing about their website. And what I love about the software is that I can share a direct link for my recording... And people will see my recording on a page where I can edit the page to look more about my brand. Going through this effort really pays out. And people typically comment on how great it looks. I understand people use this tool in different ways. And it's the tool versatility that I love the most because it offers a lot of different ways to use it.
CONSIt happened a few times that after I made a video, especially when it is a bigger one... That after I finish recording it, the video is gone. And it's not on the videos list. And I end up having to record everything again. This, so far, is the only really bad thing I can see on the software.

Good purchase from AppSumo, but new features are adding up for $$$
I like it. Loom was slacking on some things and StoryXpress had extra features. The Appsumo deal is what sold me.
PROSI like the ability to make a custom page and player .
CONSThey said they would allow you to upload videos, but that feature costs extra.

I LOVE this chrome Plugin!!
It's been great and easy to use
PROSI use this to quickly make tutorials for my contractors. It has made my life so much EASIER! I can go back and reference those videos multiple times instead of explaining things over and over. I can also put a CTA button at the end in case they still don't understand and need to book a meeting with me.

A very useful tool
Excellent to be honest, never had any issue.
PROSThe ease of use. Simply install the plugin and then press it and you're ready to record. Not only that, you have a lot of editing tools right in the cloud to enhance your video - add call to action buttons, customise the pages and more.
CONSIt would be great if you could have a little bit more control over editing - that is if you made a mistake 2 mins into the recording you could edit it - right now you can only edit the beginning and the end. Although in fairness this is for creating quick videos.
