Extremely lightweight, fast. Awesome in-built editing. crop, annotate, copy. This is completely un-biased review. I tried a few expensive paid screen capture software, and I fell in love with Faststone Capture. Awesome video capture too.

It is difficult to find something negative, however we can say that it would be convenient that the program has support for several languages, since it only has very few, limiting the scope of the application.

No dislikes!! Everything works, as expected. What more can you ask -that it's free? I've yet to try all the features but have not found any issues with it -zero bugs/updates with versioning.
