What do you like best about Zight?

CloudApp is constantly improving particularly in adding new features and streamlining the user experience. Been using it for about 18 months and many of the feature gaps that I noticed initially have been closed. Taking screenshots is super easy and the editor has now been enhanced with more options. It is a tool that I use all day long and it is a dependable assistant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

Performance on Mac needs improvement, the sync to cloud can be quite slow and it crashes about once per week. When upgrading to new version it does not always remember your prior settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

Have your end users give it a trial run and make sure you enable them on the various features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zight solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm enriching my documentation and support tickets with screenshots. I use the recording feature (especially GIF) to create easy how-to enablement content. Enhancing emails and other communications with visuals really speeds up the response time to questions. Sending links instead of actual content can be very useful to know when someone has looked at your email or instant message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

I enjoy how the platform provides a library of past recorded files that I can easily access, make edits to, and choose to either download the file or share the link if the file is too large. I also like the playback ability that notifies you when someone views your file when you send them the link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

Sometimes the files take a bit of time to transcribe from the recording to the file. Working with many open browsers at a time, this can sometimes cause a lag on the device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

CloudApp is a great way to communicate with clients and even team members when delegating tasks, training for new responsibilities, and even provides you with editing software that you can use to trim out unnecessary parts of the video. Many clients are very gracious to receive video instructions rather than detailed words on how to do something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zight solving and how is that benefiting you?

I like to help my clients do things independently without having to have a face-to-face meeting on how to account for difficult technical processes that many business owners do not understand how to do without a tutorial, or someone doing it for them. This tool gives them the capabilities to independently add users to their accounts, or refer to as a tutorial to make changes on their websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

Ease of use & convenience. I love it how when I grab a screenshot on my mac, it automatically captures it into the cloud. The video recording on it is stellar too. I couldn't live without it really. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

It can get buggy. When there was a major release, it changed the URL structures and that was a bit annoying. It occasionally bugs out when there is OS updates but beyond that, it's been an integral part of our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

No need to think twice about it really. I've used Loom and CloudApp and find that the feature punch that CloudApp gives, convenience of screenshot editing, etc... its the clear winner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zight solving and how is that benefiting you?

Help for my staff and help for my clients. This is CORE to our offering in training our staff and clients. Without it, I'd be stuck with loom which is okay but this is MUCH more convenient and very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

CloudApp is versatile. I've been using it for a few years now. I would highly recommend it to anyone. I use it every day on my laptop. There are so many things to like. For instance:

- Take a delayed screenshot and annotate on the screenshots. (The ability to blur parts of a screenshot is great)

- Screen recording in HD or in a Gif format is handy.

- I love that a link is created immediately after recording/screenshot for quick sharing and you can access it anywhere via the web.

- Also, I can upload my own images and videos, making it easy to share.

- And there are some handy integrations with apps like Jira, Zendesk and Slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

- I've found in the past that updates can be buggy. But it does eventually get sorted. One issue I remember was related to logging in with Google SSO - I was going around in circles. It's sorted now though.

- I have an XPS 13 7930 2019 laptop and CloudApp does not recognise my mic. I've tried a number of things to try and fix this but no luck. I use my webcam mic as a workaround. I think it may be a compatibility/hardware issue as the laptop uses dual mics.

- The CloudApp icon on the Windows notification taskbar is white making it difficult to see on lighter Windows themes. Definitely not a deal-breaker - but still poor UI/UX.

- Wish there was a mobile app.

- Annotating has gotten better on CloudApp but I'd love to see improvements to adding text (ability to specify a font-size) and thickness doesn't always seem to remember what I had it set to last. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

If you would like a super quick and easy way to screenshot and make recordings on your desktop, then CloudApp is for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zight solving and how is that benefiting you?

I do a lot of mobile app testing. I mirror my phone on my desktop and use CloudApp to screen record and then I can easily report on Jira and Slack straight away to illustrate any issues.

The ability to take a screenshot of something on my desktop (eg. a design in Zeplin) and annotate makes my workflow fast and easy.

Outside of work I've used CloudApp to upload my own images and video so I can quickly and easily share. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I actually don't dislike anything but I hope to see more Personalization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zight solving and how is that benefiting you?

I help other Pinterest Business Community Members when they are struggling on how to do something on Pinterest rather than writing it out (steps on how to) I make a video and share the link. Its easy and quick I don't have to fool around with a lot of stuff to get the video created. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

CloudApp is a great way to quickly create and annotate, GIFs, screenshots, and other screen recordings with a quick keyboard shortcut. From there it's very easy to share a link to the recording or a copy of the recording itself. As an added benefit, everything is automatically uploaded to the cloud for easy access on the same or another device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

At times, the program can be a little bit buggy. I've occasionally run into issues where the keyboard shortcuts don't register or a screen capture fails to upload. Usually closing the app or taking the screen capture again solves the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

They have a free version that's relatively lightweight and easy to set up. Might as well give it a try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zight solving and how is that benefiting you?

CloudApp has been a great way to communicate with my team in a virtual world. It's often much easier to show someone what I'm talking about with a 10-second gif than to try and write out what I'm describing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

It allows you to save screenshots or video clips easily in a couple mouse clicks, plus you can change the settings to immediately copy data to the clipboard. I use it all the time to send email messages with screenshots.

There are probably already some keyboard shortcuts for many of the features in CloudApp, but having them centrally located and organized well is awesome.

One of the biggest benefits of cloudapp is that they update the software all the time to remove bugs and to add new features and improve the UI.

Unless you're using a different app that serves the same purpose, there's no reason not to at least try CloudApp. With such a generous free tier I recommend CloudApp to friends and co-workers all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

The biggest complaint I have is that there isn't an easy way (that I'm aware of) to save drops in bulk. If I take 15 screenshots and want to download them to put them all in a folder from the website or desktop app I have to download each one individually.

Another super small issue, but occasionally part of the UI stays on the screen and the only way to get it to go away is to restart the program. I'm not sure if it's Cloudapp or something else on my system. That's Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

Don't hesitate to try out CloudApp. The free tier is so great that there's no reason not to try it if you think you could make good use of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zight solving and how is that benefiting you?

I take screenshots all the time, but used to use Photoshop to edit them and send. Now I can use CloudApp and immediately the image uploads and provides me with a public place to share. It saves me time in having to go back and forth to explain something to someone when I can share a more descriptive image instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

What's not to like! This is a great way to keep all your screenshots available in the cloud and be able to access them at anytime and anywhere. Another cool option they offer online is that you can actually search through your screenshots. Lets say you took screen shot of a logo and you can't remember what it was but you remember it was red you can search on the term RED and it will find all the screen shots with this color. Pretty great feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

Overall I really like this product. I haven't found any bugs that I would classify to my disliking. Its a simple product that takes your screen shots to different level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

Quick editable screenshots with a link. Simple Highly Recommend for people who take tons of screenshots Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zight solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quicker performance. Cloudapp has a feature after you take a screen shot you can edit the picture and add in lines, arrows, text etc. After you finish it then saves the documents and gives you new share link you can send. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

I like the ease of use of the app. It's honestly very simple to share pictures or videos. They make frequent updates and add new features as needed. I like that my customers can just open the link and they don't have to download anything in order to see these videos or photos. And I like the history, I always have a reference to go back and take a look at things I have captured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

I feel like it's hit or miss when it wants to work, I have had a lot of issues before the last update and their support was not the best. I received duplicate emails from different people and there was never a resolution. I do find I have to exit and re enter the app in order for my audio to work at times. I also understand that these cannot last forever for legal reasons, but it would be helpful if these wouldn't delete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zight solving and how is that benefiting you?

I need an easy way to share "how to" videos with or without audio. This tool allows me to do so easily and I can annotate or add text to these screenshots. It allows me to go back and look at things I have captured in case I need to resend or reuse. This is really a time saver because I am able to capture a repetitive process and share it with customers saving me a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

I like how easy it is to record, markup and share anything I see on my screen. I also love the ability to embed and allow others to see this content through my websites. I like how plain and simple it looks, there's no confusion on the visitors' side. All my clients find it easy to play a video and view a screenshot and are able to see everything I wanted to show them. In terms of branding, there is a logo and lack of CloudApp branding which helps me get it to look like my own tool. I like the speed of it, clients mostly love how simple it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

There were some issues regarding domain integrations, other than this, I loved every bit of the journey with CloudApp. There were issues in the past where we had been forced to refresh our domain connections as they have changed their servers I believe. I received a lot of support, however, it was still an unpleasant experience for me and for my clients who could not watch their tips as and when desired. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

There is nothing like this. It does what it says. Remains my first choice, a go-to tool for everyday use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zight solving and how is that benefiting you?

I instantly teach my clients how to do stuff online. From simple web design to more complex video tutorials on using software and configuring it, it simply feels like I can do anything with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
