Loved version 6. Hate version 7.
Lucubrare- Pros
- The program has been great as a screen capture tool. In version 7, they got too big for their britches.
- Cons
- In version 7, they added video capture (which doesn't work on my Win10 laptop), and even after paying their $3.99 registration for the "free" version it still displays a watermark in the captured screens.
- Summary
- Time to go to another actually free version. This "free" is not worth the hassle.
Piece of Shit
Major Geek- Pros
- none, nada, zip...
- Cons
- Everything is a con because the program does not work. You can't set a hotkey to imitate capture because the program tells you with an error popup that you can't set the hotkey because the program is running. Huh? How you gonna set an option in the program if it isn't? 99% of the options in this "FREE" program are not available because you have to buy another "Pro" version. Even the few options that exist do not work. Even pressing the current F6 hotkey did nothing, no screenshot.
- Summary
- I think I summed it up already. Don't bother with this trash.
Tricky But Still Available
sightsandsounds- Pros
- Found this years ago. Have used it on my XP, and win 7, Now its on my win 10, that I upgrades just before the free cut off day. It came into the win 10 from win 7, just fine. Today 8-7-2016, I put Screen Hunter on my new win 8.1, ( a new back up desk top ) Missed the free win 10 upgrade. Searched google, tried 3 places , found one on forth try. I have to say, reading the other reviews I can not understand the problems. I am a very average PC user, 61 years old. It might not be the best and options might be limited, but I am used to it and it works great for me.
- Cons
- For most the locked up options might be a con, but it is fine for my purposes.
- Summary
- I was lucky I guess I found a good link in my google search, It has worked on all my Windows, XP/ 7/ 8.1 / and 10. I do hope c net or someone does a Recent report on this, I would like to pay for the options, if they are available. I saw the c net review that said they bought the full version, and I would like to see the process for that,,, Link, company, etc. as the original "Wizard Industries guy abandoned this great program.
In my opinion about 5% of its functions are free
DennisTheCnet- Pros
- I'm not sure - I stopped as soon as I saw the number of important functions not available in the free version, in my opinion.
- Cons
- Useful functions must be purchased, in my opinion.
- Summary
- In my opinion, is it possible that anyone still tells the truth?
Virus Infected Download
sinjitsui- Pros
- I know the program is good. I have used it before, but this download came with an intrusive virus that cost me hours!!! to remove.
- Cons
- VIRUS attached, need I say more.
- Summary
- Amazing how one bad experience can taint a reputation. I have used this sight countless times over the last 2 decades without a problem, but I can no longer trust the downloads. Also, this is the only medium I found to tell anyone.
Simple, easy to use, does everything it says it will
janet.langolf- Pros
- Free, simple to use
- Cons
- Pay attention during installation. It is packaged with products you may not want that will install if you do not change the default settings.
- Summary
Used to be good, now installs malware - do not use!
littlesimon- Pros
- used to be reliable program
- Cons
- I used to use this, but will not any more! I reinstalled it several times recently and it changes search functions, installs extensions in chrome, hijacks other browser functions.
- Summary
Great Little App!
Sue Geek- Pros
- Easy to use.
- Cons
- None, so far.
- Summary
- Sometimes the key combos for Windows Vista don't always work as far as putting a halfway decent screen capture onto the clipboard. That's why I got this wonderful handy dandy little app. I especially like the added option of either including or excluding mouse sprite/pointer in the screen capture. Wonderful!
New free ScrHunt is no better than the old free version
9344429000076- Pros
- ScreenHunter is an easy way to capture what's on your screen
- Cons
- CNET downloads are tricky
- Summary
- I've been running a free version of Screenhunter 4 for years & it has been handy & trouble-free. I wanted to see if the later version gave sharper & manipulatable scrren prints. It didn't. I bought ScreenHunter 6 Pro & I like it. The download of the free version was like walking through a minefield if you wanted to avoid having a new home page & a host of unwanted features. CNET has to do this to get revenue but you have to be sober & alert when you download stuff from CNET.
Wonderful Photo Capture Program....Good Version
fredg06- Pros
- Works GREAT. Can be set to Bitmap, JPEG, or others, and can be set to put your photo or capture to any folder you wish. Will capture from Anywhere!!
- Cons
- NONE; could not work any better.
- Summary
- I agree with another person's review......KEEP CLICKING ON "DECLINE". This is a "bundled" software, full of about 5 other programs, but it offers you a "decline" button for all of them. I had no problems with any other programs being installed, after about 5 clicks on "decline"!! PLEASE read the install window as you go. If you don't want all the "bundles", just click on "decline". You will get to the install button afterwards.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Feb 28, 2014<p/>Again, Please READ the install windows !!!!!
