    "Good, stable software that does what it promises to do!"

    July 2, 2010  |   By Jockster_CNET

    Version: ScreenHunter 5.1 Free 5.1.145

    Pros

    It is very stable, a breeze to use and does not hog system resources in standby mode. I have used this quite heavily for over a year.

    Cons

    I have not found any flaws with it.

    Summary

    Screenhunter sets out to do a limited set of tasks and perform them excellently. The settings are easy to understand. When in standby mode, it is there to take your screenshot at the click of a button. Very good and user-friendly!

    Pros

    Its is extremely easy to use and does exactly what its suppose to

    "It's free and it works (at least partly)"

    June 8, 2010  |   By mydh12

    Version: ScreenHunter 5.1 Free 5.1.145

    Pros

    Have used it 3 times. Took pics of full screen very nicely. It's free. I'm glad to have it and use it.

    Cons

    I couldn't get it to take shots of just the window. Tried 3 times.

    Summary

    I was glad to get and use it, especially since it's free, even though I could get it only to take shots of the entire screen

    "Works for screen caps, not windows requiring scrolling."

    May 11, 2010  |   By Kenlahar

    Version: ScreenHunter 5.1 Free 5.1.145

    Pros

    It's handy to have a scree capture at the press of one hot-key. This works well for screen captures and for captures of windows that don't require scrolling.

    Cons

    This product will not capture the full content of windows that require scrolling.

    Summary

    It's a basic program that does it's job well enough. I hope the creator updates it with a scrolling window capture.

    "Pain in the but"

    May 8, 2010  |   By son0fhobs

    Version: ScreenHunter 5.1 Free 5.1.145

    Pros

    Does the basic job, just not terribly well.

    Cons

    Not enough customization, features, or flexibility

    Summary

    I want a screen capture program that hides nicely in the background, and that it can save the files in different places every time. Anyway, great for others, just not flexible enough for me.

    "It just works, nicely."

    April 30, 2010  |   By JayScott

    Version: ScreenHunter 5.1 Free 5.1.145

    Pros

    You push an F-key, you tell it what you want captured, and it does it. Simple.

    Cons

    If you want a fancier graphic format, it won't do that. It does BMP, JPG and GIF. (I do a lot of fancy stuff including web design, and these have been adequate for me.)

    It uses 12Mb of RAM in Standby (a little high).

    Summary

    It does what I want it to do, and it's free. I keep putting it on PCs (mine and others').

    "Very easy to use, Ideal for a lot of screen capturing"

    April 9, 2010  |   By toronto_xyz

    Version: ScreenHunter 5.1 Free 5.1.145

    Pros

    Very easy to use.
    Very easy interface.
    Set the preference as you like before screen capture, and the software will stick to that preference faithfully.
    One button capture by shortcuts.
    Its completely free

    Cons

    Nothing I can think of.

    Summary

    There are no hassles in using this application to capture screenshots. You can set your preference ahead of time. For me, who does a lot of screen captures, you can set your shortcut ahead of time, and select if you want to save the picture to clip board or file. Once you select it, you can capture the screen whereever you want, to any size you want, and it saves automatically. And there is no confirmation window or anything, so you can continue your work without being bothered. For me, that's the biggest perk. Other screenshot applications require you to push buttons and open and close windows, which are very annoying.
    This software even comes with a zoom-in window around your cursor, so you can capture a rectangular area very precisely.

    I can't think of any improvements that can be added on to this already fine software.
