more It's just "ok" but better than most.What would make it even better is if after drawing an arrow, you can start typing text without having to then select the text tool. This would save a step on a very frequently performed operation.

Snagit works great 95% of the time. But every few weeks, it glitches. When I try to take a screenshot, it just shows grey and white small boxes (like a vector image background) instead of the screenshot. When I restart my computer to fix it, then it makes me take the screenshot twice. Which leads to me having to uninstall and reinstall the app. It’s the same process every single time this glitch happens. I don’t know why it does it or how to fix it, but it’s frustrating and time consuming to remediate.

I only need to copy screenshots to clipboard and don’t need them downloaded and yet the toggle “Preview In editor” doesn’t do anything! Every screenshot would still be added to the editor! Also shortcut in the Editor window vs the shortcut that can be set in the snagit Capture are interfering. I only need an image shortcut that doens’t store screenshots into my computer

After updating, the snipping tool is delayed which is impacting my productivity and patience. Once it finally opens, it doesn't work like it used to.
