### "King of the screen shots"

May 25, 2021

5.0

I like it to be very simple and fast. It is very good that it can be set to full screen, a specific area or window.

Pros

It is very nice that it can take a screenshot of the open window with a single click. It makes creating a guide very fast.

Cons

Occasionally, the key combination on the keyboard may disappear, in this case you have to activate it via the system icon.

### "The best resource for screenshots"

November 22, 2022

5.0

Pros

Ligthshoot is the perfect add-on for windows or mac, it has been an indispensable tool when taking screenshots, it allows me to select areas of the screen, make annotations, share in the cloud or send directly by mail and store my screenshots.

Cons

Nothing, the application in my opinion has all the features I need, it could improve a bit the writing utilities.

### "Very great screenshot software"

December 26, 2022

5.0

All in all, it's a great product. Syncs up with the PrtSc button on my keyboard and you can choose to save that screenshot or just copy and paste it immediately (which is what I usually do) into Slack or an email or whatever else. Ability to black out or highlight relevant or sensitive information is crucial, and Lightshot allows for this.

Pros

I like the ability to mark up any screenshot that I take. Use a highlighter to better show the main part of the screenshot that I want to emphasize.

Cons

It would be great if we were able to take a screenshot that lasts longer than an individual moment. Capture what is happening on my screen as I walk through a navigation process for a client or other user in my company.

Lightshot has been incredibly helpful to copy and paste items needed for our monthly reports. It's very simple to use and it is definitely a tool I use daily.

Pros

It's very easy to use when needing to capture screenshots.

This may just be my equipment, but sometimes the app is just missing and I have to download it frequently.

### "The best photo capture companion for anyone who works with images"

June 20, 2022

5.0

It's like having a reliable ally for work.

Pros

It has an easy to use screen capture feature which captures the image you want. The resolution is also high so you don't need to worry about losing details when you do photo edits.

Cons

It sometimes hangs or gets laggy. But that usually happens when you have too many tabs open or are using too many apps.

May 15, 2022

Atende nas atividades que realizado, funcionando como meu comprovante.

Pros

Fácil de ser usado no app, de ser compartilhado depois de pronto o arquivo, app funciona bem. Vi no computador e também pareceu fácil instalar.

Cons

a principio sem observações, pois me atende no que preciso. No celular, que acho bem ativo o aplicativo quando não uso, isso não acho tão legal, mas não desabona o app.
