Kroto Reviews

Thanks guys, this is exactly what I needed. Now I'm able to record training material and share it with a few mouse clicks not having to redo it in person time and time again. Keep up the great work. One thing that could need some improvement is the preview buffering speed.

What they don't tell you up front is that you can only record action taking place in a Google Chrome web browser window. They say they are working on desktop apps that will allow recording of windows from other apps, but that doesn't help me today (I need tutorials for certain tasks in Excel, Word, etc.).

Also, to attempting to log in, they send you an email that contains a button you press to do the login. Apparently my web host's spam filter catches these, so I never get them. So I cannot login in the normal fashion (they sent me a hack work-around), and I can't add any sub-users at my Internet domain (whose email accounts all go through the same spam filtering).

I'm hopeful about the future, but at present Kroto does not meet my needs.

I was able to create a guided video and a guide in French, English and Hindi in 15 minutes!
A couple of unhandled errors along the way (whci I am sure will be corrected shortly), but this product rocks!
Giving 4 tacos, just because of the couple of errors, but really good experience!

I was attempting to create some detailed SOPs for my VA's, I was a little frustrated when I had two times that kroto stopped recording prematurely and I noticed they were both stopped at 8 minutes. So I asked support and they confirmed that there is an 8 minute limit.

That's a little short for what I need... especially with no ability to pause recordings. So doing guides for softwares that may take a while to load sometimes is basically impossible.

What I don't get is... How that isn't mentioned anywhere whatsoever? Their website, the appsumo page... ANYWHERE.

Also, since the limit is so small... it'd be cool to be able to combine captures together.

Basically, this is only for really short guides and videos.

I may refund, but I'll wait a little bit to see what improves. But yeah...that's the reason for 3 stars.

*Update* Unfortunately, the 8-minute recording limit, coupled with the lack of an internal function to auto-start a new recording and "stitch" recordings together (basically, a way of getting around the 8-minute limit) is very problematic. This product is now a solid 3.5 stars. I will definitely keep an eye on this and see if the Kroto team figures out acceptable solutions to these limitations. But, for now, use case for the tool has dropped substantially.
