What do you like best about Zight?

I'd love to have the ability to produce numerous screenshots, that will be instantly saved to the account of mine. This will save me time when compared with the application program I applied before, before I've to conserve screenshots between them by hand. I have not tried the film but still, therefore I cannot say something about it, though I have not purchased the film. Nevertheless, I'd love having the chance down the road in case I want it.

What do you dislike about Zight?

With this solution, all functions are not compatible with macos Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

When you are searching for a good method to shoot screenshots and screenshots or even create presents for support, information, knowledge base as well as exercise problems, I firmly suggest taking a peek at CloudApp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

things i like about CloudApp:

1. integration with my custom subdomain

2. drop URLs are copied and can be pasted immediately, no waiting for the upload to finish

3. highlighter tool is a straight line instead of freehand

4. i love the spotlight feature for screenshots

5. screencasts are simple and effective Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

features i wish CloudApp offered:

1. when taking a screenshot, i wish the cursor turned into a magnifying glass (zoom in on content). sometimes i want to take a screenshot of specific pixel areas or quickly measure something. a zoom feature would solve that.

2. the white pixel text on screenshots can be hard to read sometimes. it would be nice if the font was black or larger font.

3. after taking a screenshot, the zoom level varies on the image. i like being able to zoom in or out, but i wish the zoom level defaulted to 100% instead of varying. different zoom levels means my annotations vary in size based on the zoom level. defaulting to 100% would fix that issue.

4. additional annotation sizes/widths would be nice. three sizes feels limiting at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

My 2 favorite areas of CloudApp are GIF & editing functions. This enables me to rapidly find out what I am performing and also send it with the client/expert. I did not believe I appreciated the instant download feature either, though it is good to use a hyperlink within the clipboard which I could easily put in into Slack when I am trying to rapidly take a step for a coworker.

What do you dislike about Zight?

CloudApp crashed several times on the latest version of macOS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This's one of my personal favorite solution. It eliminates a great deal of frictional losses during regular operation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I make better use of my complex and customer service to resolve issues. If I have showing what I believe is a problem or a misprint, I am able to have a screenshot / save *exactly* what the issue or maybe matter is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

Capture and annotate quickly, share links on any platform, anywhere. Service uptime is over my expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

I think mac app should only stay on status bar, and hidden on menu bar. I force quit CloudApp too often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I personally don't understand when a teammate sends a full screenshot and expects me to enter their mind. CloudApp is a great productivity tool where you not only help yourself but also your team. Capture only area of interest and annotate for better understanding. I have been using CloudApp over two years now, helped me and my team a lot since. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

I love how fast it is to take a screen shot, create a box around where your teammate needs to click and even go so far as to put a big arrow pointing to that area. We also use it for support documents to make screen shots and walk throughs right through Cloud App. Not to mention quick screen recordings for tutorials and support.

What do you dislike about Zight?

There were some bugs originally but the customer support as always been top notch and they have a great system built now with very few bugs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

I love the ease of use. The ability to use it directly from the top menu bar makes the use seamless.

The ability to quickly and easily capture screen shots, videos and other key things makes this a tool I use at least a dozen times a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

I don't have any negative feedback. It works exactly as it needs to and I have not ever had an issue with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

USE IT! This is such an easy tool to use that takes the place of a bunch of other less ideal tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The ability to SHOW something rather than trying to describe has been a huge benefit for myself and my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

Simple interface - very easy to make images and easy to share those images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

Recently, it has started hanging my machine almost every time I try to take a screenshot or video. It used to happen occasionally, now it is quite frequent.

Additionally, every time CloudApp updates, it forgets all my settings. Last time, it had switched me to defaulting to capturing MP4s (used to default to animated gifs). There were one or two other things I had to update too.

Since the last update, CloudApp is no longer a "background" app, and also refuses to start on login. Even though I tell it to start on login, it does not, and when I run it manually, it sits there for me to skip over every time I try to switch apps.

The only reason I use cloudapp at this point is because I don't know of another product that is as simple. Makes me want to start a competitor, to be honest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Capturing video grabs for code changes so that reviewers understand the impact of the changes.

Record issues to more easily explain to other people what problems I'm having with our product.

Capturing random images of things I want to share with other people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

CloudApp is literally a tool I use every day, in every part of my word. My favorite feature of CloudAPP is the ability to share screenshots via a CloudApp URL within moments of having taken them. I'm also a fan of the ease of adding annotations to screenshots, and of being able to take very quick screen recordings. I've tried many a screenshot app and this one is the best! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

As a Basecamp 2 user, I'm not able to paste a URL into a Basecamp message and have the screenshot render (it stays a link). I can work around this by going to the screenshot URL and dragging them image into the Basecamp image, but it's obviously not as convenient as just pasting a link in. Since I also use Basecamp ALL THE TIME, this is a big of a drag. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Describing a visual takes a lot of words; a picture makes it obvious right away what is being discussed. As a designer, this is a shortcut and a way to avoid misunderstandings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

I like that it captures screenshots and turns them into URL links. Since I work a lot in spreadsheets, it's the perfect way to communicate information given the constraints of spreadsheets. The ability to capture video is also a super helpful non-verbal way to communicate information quickly. I use both of these features daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

Honestly, I really don't have any complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

Just do it! I wouldn't turn back after using this product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Product feedback and disseminating information like instructions to my team is easier with Cloudapp.

It is also very helpful for communicating with support teams when I need to write in issues with software I'm using. Since practically everyone uses asynchronous communication nowadays, it's a lot easier to SHOW someone the problem vs. trying to articulate it in words which can get very confusing. Verbal communication can be time consuming and difficult to interpret depending on who is doing the writing. A picture or gif can say it all sometimes! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Zight?

CloudApp is so easy to use. I am always taking screenshots, sending short GIFs or videos when I have a technical problem with a software and also sending short videos to help people do something. It also tells me when someone has viewed it.

The great thing is that it creates a unique URL for each item - so really easy to share/cope&paste. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

There is nothing particular that I dislike about it. Sometimes it tells me someone has viewed it immediately after I've taken a screenshot and before I send it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

It's one of those tools that you don't think you need until you start using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps me show problem solve, show problems I have with a particular tool and send to the support team. It also helps me document things like online payments, screenshots of things I want to remember, easily creating GIFs from my desktop and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
