What do you like best about Zight?

I think features like taking screenshots of the selected area is very important, the ability to then modify easily as in highlight a particular field with either a box or an arrow is made simple with the tool. I like that you also can obscure information in the screenshot and it does not affect the overall aesthetic of the shared screenshot and makes it look more professional (rather than say doing a crappy job blacking it out) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

I had some issues with the shortcuts, in some versions the ability to copy the direct link was removed. A direct link is more useful than say the link to the screenshot so I think it will be better to have that as default. Also I'll love to see the ability to capture drop down boxes, (not a biggy but def an issue), some actions in the screen that are dynamic, do not capture well with the cloud app, so I had to resort to GIF and then taking a screenshot of that/ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

sharing or guiding customers or teammates to specific information in a particular software/screen. that has been the biggest use and also sharing of memes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

The integrations between all the operative systems I use, such as Mac OS, iOS. Also, the fact that provides you a link for everything. And an easy way to edit the screenshots. Also nowadays, they implemented a way to share files with just a link.

The editor could be improved but is very user friendly and have the basics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

I've been part of Couldapp since the beginning, and they've been growing a lot, but definitely, as every new startup and SaaS, it has bugs that are polished through the product life cycle.

The way that CloudApp considers their users' recommendations, it's too slow and sometimes I do feel that they are not taken into account.

The screen record still has a lot of growth since there are other software systems that have more features, but this has the basics and it suffices to fulfill your day to day remote tasks.

From an admin, perspective is the admin dashboard is not that robust and it could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

If you are looking to make an efficient remote team, Cloudapp definitely is a must-have tool. It really has a competitive advantage vs other similar software systems to share screenshots or files. It has a cost but the ROI it makes sense compared with the time this could save you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

An easy way to share anything in just a simple link. It makes remote teams work more efficiently.

What do you like best about Zight?

I support educators with their SaaS platforms. CloudApp allows me to quickly take screenshots and share by dragging and dropping into emails/ tickets OR by sending a link. LOVE how easy it is to edit, as well - I need to blur out sensitive information and the blur tool functions just perfectly for this. Recording GIFs to embed in email responses for 2-4 step instructions has upped my support game 1000%. I love CloudApp, and recommend it to everyone I can! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

I really don't have any. I adore it. I would give it a world's best app trophy, give it half of a best friends heart necklace and proudly wear the other half, heck, I would even give it a ride to the airport! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As I stated above, I support educators with their assessment and analytics platforms. A lot of what I do involves providing steps to accomplishing a task in the program. With CloudApp, I can quickly take screenshots, or even better - record a quick GIF that shows my screen going through the steps. I can even put the GIF right into a slide deck or inline in an email, saving them clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

I love the ability to be able to take a screenshot and share with a link or take the image directly to copy and paste it. I also love the ability to write text and highlight certain things within the screenshot I took. Another thing that I don't use too often but comes in very handy is uploading an image and getting a specific URL to share for that image. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

I do wish there were more options for the text size and weight when you're typing within your screenshot. I often find myself running out of room when typing. Also the ability to have a semi-transparent background for your text would be really helpful. Text features similar to instagram stories would be great with this application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

When using Cloudapp, im solving the issue of needing to share something I see on my screen with others. I'm looking to explain differences in what im seeing versus what should be seen. I also use it to quickly share images on my screen that aren't able to be saved or if I don't want to go through the process of saving and then finding the file. The simplicity and quickness of using cloud app is very convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

the ease to use, with one command I can print something and send right away to colleagues. I use it pretty much every day. Just once I needed their support, and they were really quick to solve my issues. I use it for 2 years or more now, and I can't think my work without it anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

They could record computer audio on video, it would be great! I think this is really the only feature that I miss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

It really saves you a lot of time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I usually have to design a lot of stuff, and is much faster to print any prototype with cloudapp and send it right away than export and so on. On cloudapp I can quickly create arrows, signs and so on without affecting my design, even if I need to record a video it is really easy. I've used it to create tutorials as well, since filming is very easy and it captures microphone sounds, in minutes and without editing I could create my own tutorial videos. I'm really glad with it!

What do you like best about Zight?

It's just so easy to take screenshots, or even record gif/video. Hotkey, select area, and boom you got your screenshot copied in your clipboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

Honestly, I can only think about two things.

The most important is, and I am not sure who is to blame, but the app responsiveness difference between the mac version of the app, and the windows version is a lot. Mac version is more snappy, and works better in general so its pretty noticeable while using in Windows.

The second, there was a series of updates like a year ago, which broke some features, and affected my workflow. Everything has been fixed now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

I stronly recommend cloudapp for any workflow. You will always have the need of screenshots or sharing something in your screen with someone else. CloudApp makes it easy and fast to do, allowing you to waste time in other, more important, things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I mostly use it to share data I'm seeing to my collegues. Take screenshot and share on slack, slack auto-unfolds the screenshot so they don't even have to open the link.

"Hey, what's up with this: **SCREENSHOT**".

I also use video recording a lot to explain processes or new features we implement. It's just easier showing then explaining. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

The keyboard shortcuts make it quick to use. CloudApp is also great because I can take screenshots, draw on those screenshots, screen records with or without audio, GIFs, etc... This helps me convey information in a quick efficient way. Without CloudApp, my day-to-day work would be dramatically slowed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

About a year ago, CloudApp was constantly failing to upload or crashing. Luckily, they figured out these bugs and the App has worked flawlessly for the past 3-6 months. Other than that, there's nothing functional about the app that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

Best screen capture software out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

On a daily basis, I'm showing users how to use our product, which can be an intensive process. Our product is complex, so being able to share annotated screenshots and videos is a great substitute for a lengthy email. Instead of sending a 3 paragraph email, I can simply send a short sentence linking the client to my video recorded via CloudApp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

I like how links are automatically copied to the clipboard after taking a screen shot. My job requires that I have screen shots fast and easy, and this provides exactly that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

The only issue I have is that sometimes there's problems with screen recordings, where I'll go through the recording and once it stops, there's an error that says there was a problem during the process. Usually it's resolved by restarting the app, but is an inconvenience if I'm trying to record something long and I'm only notified it didn't work after I was done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

I recommend using this app! I would also recommend allowing the link to automatically be copied to your clipboard, this is where the most benefit comes into play for me personally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's super quick for me to generate screen shots and share them with other users/customers. This allows me to do my job faster and saves time while working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zight?

CloudApp makes it easy for me to quickly grab screenshots, annote them and share them with others. I like the fact that CloudApp stores all images in the cloud, and I can refer back to them at any point (unlike my Windows Clipboard, which gets lost when I turn my PC off!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zight?

I'm using a dual-screen monitor, and the interface for recording videos is slightly confusing when used across two screens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zight:

If you ever need to take screenshots or record videos to share with others, then CloudApp should be a tool you investigate! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
