Highlight mouse cursor that visualizes clicks, good for presentations.
Mousepose 3 is an essential tool for everyone doing presentations or demos. If turned on, it dims the screen and puts a spotlight on the area around the mouse pointer, easily guiding the audiences attention to an area of interest. Of course, there are other uses as well. If you have a large screen, it helps you quickly locate the mouse pointer when you return to your work after an interruption. Visually impaired people tell us that it helps them as well. Hitting a user definable hot key turns on the Mousepos effect, dimming the screen and putting the mouse pointer into a spotlight that makes it easy to locate. The desktop behind it remains functional, so that apps can be used while Mousepos 3 is turned on. With Keynote 3, Apple even added a setting that allows you to use Mousepos 3 with the popular presentation software.
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have a visual impairment that often causes me to be subject to something akin to "cursor sink", a holdover from the olden days of early generation (especially color) laptop screens where the cursor would disappear when moved too quickly. Something like that happens with me. My vision-related problems, not my screen, cause me to lose the cursor if I move it too fast and, before Mousepose 2, I wasted so much time looking for it. Now I just hit Function Key 8 and there it is! Mousepose 2 has many other excellent features and through its preference panel it's so easy to set just how you want the application to work for you. Get exposed! I recommend Mousepose 2 highly!
A Little Pricy, But It Works

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I used 1.3 and liked it. It worked fine for everything but Keynote presentations. I don't think I will purchase 2.0 becasue I think that the price is a little high. I think about buying it for $5.00 or less. Boinx makes great stuff, some which I've purchased, but their pricing keeps me from purchasing a lot more of their stuff.
The best program ever

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I had just finished installing the license for Mousepose. This is an elegant piece of software. I don't understand why people whine about registering to gain access to it. Perhaps Boinx should start charging for the tool (which I would gladly buy) and the complaints may stop.
Licensing controversy aside I like the simplicity and efectiveness of this tool. I would not be surprised if Mousepose gets incorporated into a future release of Mac OSX?
Anyway, congratulations for this excellent tool.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This is really one piece of useful software. I can see it's uses in presentations and educational environments. It's not <i> exactly </i> freeware, but it is free and thats great. The author's website even has a list of some new features he is trying to implement (ie different highlight shapes) and I hope he does, it'll make this piece of software that much better.
Version 1.0 had a bug which I emailed the author about on the weekend, and today (Monday) it was fixed in version 1.1, great response time.
Wow - very cool!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I seem to lose my cursor all the time on my dual-displays...this is great!
How about making it so we can add a shadow and change the shape of the "lens"?
Great job, and registration process is kinda cool, in a dopy, nerdy, way! ;)

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Mousepose did not work for me even after entering the downloaded license. The problem was with my Logitech USB keyboard. I have found that it runs fine by selecting in preferences and using the F13, F14, or F15 keys.
Mousepose and Mightymouse work well together. I use Fotomagico from the same company and have had no problems with their use of my email address.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Have used this little utility pretty continuously since its release just over a week ago. It performs just as the developers say...and faultlessly. The only irritant, and it's a minor one, is the >gmon.out< file left in the Finder after each use. It's simplicity itself to delete. But why?
That would normally be about it for a review, but there appears to be an entirely different matter at issue here...freeware licensing and its legitimacy! Mmm...yup, as one reviewer states, Apple does it (QuickTime and iTunes). So do Allume Systems (Stuffit Expander) and RealNetworks (RealPlayer). That's three significant outfits there; and I'm sure there are more. If the primary issue is really about who you can trust, as another reviwer claims, then the implication appears to be...global corporate American company OK, small independent European company not OK. Now, that is scandalous!
