Layerpath Reviews

Testing out new apps is always interesting to see if they meet your expectations. I have been searching for an app like this for quite some time and it has most of the features I need. Where I did run into issues was the inability to annotate a video portion/slide. After recording, you will often see something that could do with an arrow or further explanation in a text box. However, this isn't possible in the video slide, but it is in the other static slides.

I found the developer most responsive to my comments to the point we had a video call and shared our screens. He now has a very clear understanding, not only of what I am talking about, but also why it is a necessary feature for busy consultants.

All in all, I find the product is slightly lacking in maturity at present, but with a few more enhancements, it will be a fantastic way of sharing guides with clients and on social media.

This app is an awesome way to create product demonstrations and tutorials. Although, some quirks need to be ironed out the overall output of this app is on par with my expectations.

On the other hand, their Chrome extension is in desperate need of fixing. Overall, the extension works pretty well and is convenient for screen recordings using the Layerpath cloud application. However, there are a large number of scripting errors that show up in the browser inspector and as a web developer who uses this inspector religiously, all these errors are getting in the way of doing my work. It has come to the point where I need to disable this extension just so I can do my daily tasks and only enable it when I need it.

Also, when you invoke the extension it states you need to use Ctrl+E to start/stop the recording, but this hotkey combination is already used by Chrome itself, so using this hotkey combination is not an option. When you want to change this hotkey, selecting the menu Options only takes you to a blank page. To change the hotkey you need to access the Extensions Settings and select the Keyboard shortcuts menu. From there you can change this hotkey. However, after doing this the app still indicates you should use Ctrl+E to start/stop the recording.

The bottom line, my rating centers around their extension. Mainly because this will be the way most of these recordings will be created. When Layerpath has cleaned up all the issues with its extension I may consider updating my rating.

Its a feature packed solution, a bit of minor bugs but not a show stopper. It can do much more than some of the bigger players out there like Scribe, just to withstand time now.

I couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase. This software not only met but exceeded all my expectations, which were already quite high. It's incredibly easy to use, and everything runs smoothly. Thank you, and congratulations on a fantastic product!

I reasonably liked this product today in its current form. While there are still many points to be solved which seem to be simple fix and must be fixed asap. I liked the fact that many updates are done to plan in favor of customers which is big plus. The 4k export getting enabled which was not originally planned is good gesture. There are some nice video effects present which I found today itself during 4k export. I am going to keep it based on Vinay's past experience to have this product as can wait 2 quarters to use as mainline and till then use Layerpath its current capabilities..
