Innovative but Missing Critical Features

Lightshot has a nicely designed interface that is functional yet spartan, hence nicely thougth out. The cloud interaction is easy and seemless, as well as attractive and intuitive. In about 20 seconds you can be both familiar and comfortable with this tool.

Where this tool falls short is the inablity to capture a region or a “window” with a single click. This is critical for many users as it aids in producing final images for documentation as well as for presentations and proposals. It is somewhat tedious having to select the exact rectangle (or circle?) for a window’s region.

The second feature that is missing is the ablility to obscure information in the screen shot. A common function that becomes necessary for privacy when sharing a screen shot in any of the aforementioned modes of use.

Overall, nice app and if you don’t need either window capture or obfuscation tools, this tool is clean and seems to come with cloud service all gratis.
