Great product, almost excellent
I almost missed this one. I have a similar product, which I love - I won't mention the name. However, this is a slightly different to my other tool. Although I have only used it for 24 hours, I like it a lot. It's very useful. I have given it 4 out 5, and I would have given it 5 out 5 because of the following reasons:
1. At the moment it is only Chrome based recording. It would take this product to the next level if they added a Mac app that would allow you to record your computer window or other stand-alone applications like Microsoft Office, Photoshop etc.
2. It would be great to have human friendly and search friendly URL or slug. The custom domain is great, but it creates an ugly slug at the moment. Hopefully its an easy fix to implement.
3. As there is a video option, it would be good to have a few more editing option with the video. The video side feels a bit rushed and not enough time spent making it as good as the Tour and Guide. I don't believe you can add your own voice to video at present, although you can use the AI voice. It would also be nice to have some ability to add texts and overlays to videos. Something to consider for the future. I understand its not a video editing app. However, if it is trying to be all-in-one solution for demo's and guides then you want to be able annotate the video before sending it to someone.
4. It would be nice to be able to share the video via a link and to be able to embed it in the same way as the "Tour."
I know I have written in depth about the things I feel it needs. But its constructive feedback. I only spend time writing in-depth feedback when I really like a product. So, please don't misunderstand me, I do think its a great product, Given the fact that this is an early stage product, it has some very useful features and its a tool that could be very useful for me. Btw, I have only owned it for about 24 hours, so I may update the review at some point. Difinitely worth it given what I have seen so far. Thanks.
