Great and functional, but… With some annoying Y’s.

I love the way it operates! The app is really functional and lets me do stuff I’ve being trying to do for a few time now…

I enjoy the way its main buttons stay hidden in the screen with only a clean tab I can summon whenever I like. I also like being able to choose between system’s audio and microphone, so I can record a small part of my screen while using the rest of it without ruining the recording with typing, clicking, noises in the office et cætera (without changing the sound output channel, of course - as soundflower would make me).

Unfortunately, there’s a “but”…

Y 1, Pricy -The app is really pricy. There’s no doubt. Which is relatively fine, since we have to agree with the price tag in order to buy it.

Y 2 - Laggy - Even though it finishes the job, the app always freezes when I ask it to cut an unsaved project. It makes me wait for a while to see the results.

Y 3 - Drainy - When it does freeze, a lot of ram is sucked and the computer gets really slow. This is the worst part for me.

Y 4 - Crashy - Despite being rare, crashes have occurred while operating and the app mysteriously closed a few times, making me lose a lot of progress in two projects.

Overall, my opinion is that the app is really good. I just hope the developers fix this issues to enhance the experience, allowing us to extract the most of it. :)

UPDATE:

It is crashing A LOT lately. I recorded a video, then, after pausing for a few seconds, I was about to continue recording, the recording menu disappeared and nothing wa saved. It is the 5th time this happens and it’s making me really mad about it, because I waste hours of work with this kind of issue.
