Have something to say about Ashampoo Snap 9? Say it here!
Have suggestions, comments, or need help? Post it here! If you know of better software than Ashampoo Snap 9, post it here! If you know of issues with Ashampoo Snap 9, post it here! Share your knowledge with all of us. :-)
The problem I have with Ashampoo is that they install a backdoor into your computer. I don’t know how they use it or what they can do with it, but I find the practice dangerous enough not to use their software anymore. What I am referring to is the extra user you see added when you go to restore your computer from a system image. Its shows up there-not anywhere else.
Their products are great, even top notch. This one here is very good too. It is as good or better than any other screen capture software.
Köszönöm szépen ezt a kiváló programot !
Nagyon jól ismerem az Asampoo-ot, nagyszerű programot gyártanak,
és sokminden ingyenes !
Én tag vagyok ott már évek óta, és csak ajánlani tudom mindenki számáraÜdvözlettel: Herczeg Jutka.

Ashampoo Snap — what an effing stoopid program.It just recorded it’s own control panel over a video the whole time.
Berserker Ashampoo programmers, so full of themselves, thinking that ANYONE would want to record the Ashampoo Snap control panel for 2 hours.
Geesh.
..
I have never seen such a stoopid program.I just had it record a full-screen video ( this time hiding the controls ), and when the video ended, I wanted to save the capture and give it a name, but I had no way to control Ashampoo Snap because I had hidden the controls so the controls would not be recorded, duh.
That’s 4 hours WASTED trying to get Ashampoo Snap to do ONE THING that it promises.
UNINSTALLED!

Show us some logs proving your spyware accusations. I think you are Full Of BS with that comment! Perhaps a competitor who is a little upset that someone else can do better perhaps is the real issue?
That being said, Ashampoo Snap, it’s good if it fit’s your need. But honestly I don’t like it at all, because I have better software for such things. The main issue with Snap is that it has way too many issue’s on the screen where it should have the main needed options presented rather than all the extra stuff all at once, because it makes it hard to figure out what you are looking for.
Also, their video recording options don’t work all the time, there should be options to change the FPS – Frames per second and other things to record the AUDIO & VIDEO of the screen. That is extremely important. Or by that I mean “MORE” or workable at the very least.
Ashampoo is a good company, they just don’t know how to develop the software’s that they have. No idea as to what direction they should go in. I wish I was in charge there, the first thing I would do is stop giving away the software!
Oh well. Either way, those are my thoughts & Opinions.

[@Daryl]You’re funny — you’d stop giving away software if you ran a company, that’s your comment on a giveaway site!
Giveaways are like what a test drive is for the automobile industry, no one buys without a test, even if there’s a money-back guarantee, we still wanna play with stuff before we decide,
… and more, in that, if a customer uses your company’s programs at all, then they are not using your competitor’s programs,
… and more, in that you can upsell your free users if you can show that there is added value in your non-free versions,
… and more, you expand your base of alpha / beta / gamma testers who can and do give valuable user-experience feedback, such as yours, to help guide your product’s appropriateness, reliability, and evolution,
… and more, early adopters recommend your product to others who are then more ready to purchase based on other user’s recommendations,
… and more … you can take it from here, the benefits of giveaways are endless and perennial.
__________All companies need:
— creators, designers, inventors, programmers, creative people,
— sales, marketing savvy,
— cash flow, finances, money management.
Those three need to work in balanced cooperation together.
If ONE of those becomes the boss, the company fails, such as if the bean-counter accounting department demands that that marketing department stop giving away the company’s products, in ignorance of the points I shared above, then the competition make inroads, and the programmers lose user feedback, their product’s qualities, and customer base, both shrink.
__________Note: I see alternatives where instead of building a self-perpetuating company serving an ever expanding customer base, some software is actually the creative brainchild of one programmer, such as the offering from solo practitioners who do not want to build a customer-service oriented software company that outlives them:
— Steve Gibson’s SpinRite at [ GRC. com ]
— Jeremy Collake’s Process Lasso at [ Bitsum. com ]
— Kyle Katarn of [ KCSoftwares. com ]
— Nir Soffer’s [ NirSoft. net ],
— Irfan Skiljan’s [ IrfanView. net ],
— Shane Croft of [ Tweaking. com ] and [ PCWinTech. com ],
— and more and more, we all have some utility on our computer that is the result of one programmer’s passion,
… and then they retire, I mean die, see also the history of great programs such as
— PKZip,
— MyDefrag,
— VOpt,
… each the product of passion from one programmer.
And special cases like the genius of Peter Norton who sold out to Symantec and never created anything again.
We need [ PC Hall Of Fame ] to help us all appreciate the variety of geniuses who got us hear and will lead us on, including the Steves of Apple and Bill Lowe of IBM, and all who preceded and followed, momentously if momentarily.
Wanna build a [ PC HOF ]?

__________PS — Ashampoo Snap is awful, I could not get it to work ( record, snip, and save a video-playing window ), I would never pay for it, it motivated me to search for functional alternatives, Ashampoo programmers seem averse to constructive feedback, typical German “we know better than the customer”, such that they never join any discussion at a giveaway site and ask questions of end users — the ones who are happy will pay, and Ashampoo only cares about their own programmers being happy, not happy customers, so let the programmers pay for their software.
.GOOD – Ashampoo Snap 9
