The tool is highly customizable: geometry, transparency, animation speed, hotkeys, mouse gesture, events.

Colors and opacity.
Predefined sample colors.

Too much trouble to use

UPDATE Jun 13, 2019 - the developer responded almost immediately and helped with a solution, I changed my review to 4 stars solely on the responsiveness and help they gave me. Kudos and thanks!

Jun 12, 2019 I am running 3 monitors and finding the mouse is a pain in the neck. This app seemed like the answer. WHEN it works it's great, the issue is that it often doesn't. After a few minutes it seems to deactivate, after waking from screen saver it deactivates, it won't activate with the mouse, trackpad movement etc. Restart works for a few mins then it doesn't. Great try, I guess with the price point it isn't worth trying to get the 0.99 back.

Great app, even better developer

I purchased the app for use for technical demonstrations during trainings, and it worked great. The tool draws attention in a quick, stylish way to your mouse, to highlight for folks where to click, where to look, etc.

However, after an OS update, it broke. I reached out to the developer, and not only did they respond, they provided me a license to a different product to try to tide me over while they fixed the bugs in Simple Mouse Locator. Once they finally did fix the bugs, they emailed me back to let me know. Stellar support for an incredibly useful app. I highly recommend it.

Great tool to fix Photoshop!

If you use brushes in Photoshop, you may have noticed that certain combinations of background color and brush size make it just about impossible to see the cursor when you're painting or doing retouching. Simple Mouse Locator to the rescue - just turn it on (and the variety of options to do so make it easy) and you can make your cursor location very visible! It's not an overstatement to say that this tool has made it possible for me to use Photoshop again. And almost possible for me to forgive Adobe for their inexcusable lack of support, but that's another matter).
