Excellent proofing software

I personally didn't know Ashore, I had tested another product called Picter (Bought on Appsumo) which is rather similar but sufficiently different that I wished to try Ashore and for the moment I am not at all disappointed.

I'm not going to do the apology of the software because some members have already done it and I would only repeat what has already been said.

However, I would have really appreciated if they offered the same tools as Userback (annotation software and feedback collector I bought on Appsumo too) because in the latter, annotations are dynamic.

For example, you can add numbered icons in order, and when you hover or click on them, a comment is displayed, and this comment can be accompanied by an image to give more precision on the modification to be made.

I invite you to take inspiration from Userback to improve Ashore considerably.
I had already asked Picter to be inspired by Userback but they told me that no customer had asked for it and that it was not part of their priorities. Of course, with Picter, it was possible to annotate messages with the stylus (I don't know if it's possible with Ashore) but the annotations are not dynamic and I find that the visual aspect is very important for tools intended for graphic designers.

Adding more tools and taking inspiration from other graphic designer tools would be interesting for a continuous improvement of the tool like, for example, adding blur, magnifying glass, annotation with multiple icons (directional arrows, V for approval, X (red cross to say it's not good (NG) ) and other visual indicators.

I'm not sure if everyone will agree, but I think these kinds of tools are great and contribute a lot to the visual aspect, which helps the interaction with the clients/people you work with.

Despite this lack, I can only recommend Ashore as it still meets a demand from many designers, and I can only hope that these dynamic tools will be added in the future, hopefully as part of my lifetime plan of course.

I strongly advise you to buy at least one code to test and if you are satisfied, choose a plan that fits your needs. I doubt that such an interesting offer will come again and it would be a real shame to miss it.
