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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
- 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.
I love using it for the Pinterest Business Community when I helping other pinners its easy to use. 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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
