I liked the screen record feature you can use with simplicity. I created two interactive games for children in preschooler age about basic English and colours, it was very easy to find how to manage the interactivity and also the support was very fast in giving me a solution when I had to create an interactive bookshelf to sell a market products using custom pictures and Paypal method and buttons. Pros I liked the extensive features you can use and the simplicity of the UI. I created two interactive games and imported my assets without any inconveniences. I exported in HTML5 the final product and it worked fine with any browsers. Cons I don't know any cons because during the use if I had a problem in a matter of time the support helped me. Switched from [Camtasia](https://www.capterra.com/p/203013/Camtasia/) Because was cheaper and the support very friendly.

He buscado y hasta hoy no he encontrado nada mejor." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 March 18, 2024 En mi trabajo esta aplicación ha conseguido transformar en una actividad agradable y retadora, lo que podría haber resultado algo pesado y aburrido Pros De las pocas aplicaciones que conozco que "no molestan" es decir que (gracias su facilidad de manejo) me permiten concentrarme en la creación de contenidos. La aplicación está llena de detalles que demuestran su orientación a resolver las necesidades de sus usuarios/as. Se nota que cuentan con ellos/as. Es una aplicación poderosa, pero no es complicada porque te permite usar únicamente lo que necesitas en cada momento, olvidándote de todo lo demás. Es una aplicación en constante mejora basada en la escucha atenta a los mensajes de sus usuarios/as. Cons Trabajando con la versión 9 me resulta muy difícil encontrar alguna desventaja.

Cons It is probably too "classic": other software are more updated when it comes to the graphic of the software. Still a good option for people who don't give it much mind, though. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor March 21, 2024 Thank you Marco for your review. I'm glad you find ActivePresenter easy to use and I agree with you on the UI experience. We are on our way to improve the graphic design of the software and hopefully, it will be updated in the most recent upcoming version. Kindly wait for the new look and please feel free to contact us at support@atomisystems.com should you have any requests or issues. Best, SS Scott S. Sr. Manager, Documentation and Learning Solutions Computer Software ### "Excellent eLearning Authoring Tool with World-Class Customer Support" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 December 20, 2023 Our team has used ActivePresenter to develop and publish more than 30 eLearning modules with assessments for the past 5+ years. Pros The application has an intuitive slide-based workflow, a robust set of eLearning development tools, multi-modal publishing (demo, tutorial, practice, and test modes) and one-click publishing to HTML5 and/or SCORM formats for ready deployment via LMS (we use it with MOODLE). The few times I have needed support, the team was very responsive and extremely helpful and even on a few occasions created scripts to make the software do what we needed it to do (which were somewhat non-standard use-cases). I have used many eLearning development and deployment platforms (including the 2 heaviest hitters in the industry), but ActivePresenter is hands-down the best value for the money and is most accessible for new team members to ramp up in learning development. Cons No cons after 5+ years of use creating and publishing dozens of interactive learning resources.

But the feature and ease of use were good of it. Cons When using for personal use it records with the watermark however that was not considered as an issue.

Where some might prefer a more streamlined experience that caters to the novice - I prefer a blank slate and I appreciate that this authoring tool does a nice job of balancing the experience for both new and veteran users alike. Pros ActivePresenter leaves control to the developer and allows for a great deal of flexibility to realize your projects. User friendly interface makes most things easy to find. Strong JavaScript support and extremely well written documentation. Technical support from developer via community forums is fantastic. Cons JavaScript coding is a little heavier due to the syntax requirements but a small concession compared to what is possible.
