Like many - I use the Snipping Tool in Windows almost daily - for me, it’s an essential work tool that allows me to create Job Aids and Procedure documents for our respective teams. So as a result, I use it a lot at home as well and really wanted one for my MacBook Pro. After updating to a 2024 M3, my old Snip program became obsolete. Looked at a few and decided based on reviews to give this one a shot. The immediate thing I found I liked is the OCR feature. That alone makes this a superior product to any other Snipping tool. Easy to use and it’s going to get used a LOT!

When trying to capture details it's often necessary to delay the snip process until you can activate hidden menus by hovering on them or other 'if,then' functions. The lack of timer on this app is a big negative for me. Poor screen snipping options has been one of the big surprises for me making the switch from Windows to Mac as Mac has reputation for ease of creativity... Not in this case with screen snipping - (not to mention inability to custom image resize after pasting into mail). With Mac we need to pay for apps that function much worse than the free apps included with windows. I'm hoping to be wrong and discover improved functionality - without paying more.

I love the APPMany times , it makes the screen black before screening and a bit buggy on this. So I need to cancel and take screenshot again. More important is that to reduce the image resolution or size. Better even to have option like reducing images like: 0.8x, 0.5x, 0.2xin Settings panel, so it has a default always and I can change for an image if I need. Please add this feature.

Nothing can beat screenpresso, but it’s not available on Mac. I have tried multiple and this one seems to have the most customizations, but it lacks any real instructions or defines what is and isn’t possible. I do like that I have the choice save to a dedicated folder or just make a copy. Took a minute to figure that one out. It could have more options for colors, tools, but anything beats the MacBook capture capabilities. So will do for now. It hasn’t failed to capture or save; it’s dependable so 4 stars. If it had more support, direction, example videos, that would drive this up to a high 5/5.
