Pros / Cons
  • As a result, you can work more efficiently as you won't need to constantly remind yourself how to utilize the tools, as you would with more complex apps.
  • I do not like for a free trial you get a time limit of 10 minutes

  • The only suggestion that I would find to be useful to new OBS users, would be if there were a more comprehensive & expanded downloadable .pdf user and functions manual. Or even a more expanded "hints" segment when initially logging on so that it can teach you about all of the various uses & functions available to the user.
  • It is a fight to configure the docks in the space you want them and many times the configuration is not supported so it wastes precious screen space.
