"The must-have screen recorder for Mac"
5/5
What do you like best about screenflow?

Screenflow is powerful but not excessive, so everything you need is at your fingertips and not much else. Recording and assembling clips is easy. And the audio filter to remove background noise is clutch. I've made 20+ marketing videos with product demos using Screenflow and always have a good experience.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

There are little things like the default animation transition should be crossfade and not one of the gimmicky ones they have in there. You can customize a lot of your defaults so that is easily overcome. The only other thing is if you have a project that has a lot of layers, managing more than 5-6 tracks is a little clunky.

"Best recording software for Mac OS"
5/5
What do you like best about screenflow?

I love how simple is to start recording, the user interface is perfect, for mac the top nav button is discrete and the options for editing the video and sound are pro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

I will like to see quick tutorials online, I have followed some youtubers but those videos are really long, learning all the ScreenFlow components takes too much time, but at the end it is the best system for screen recording. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

nothing really. It has everything i need right now. Look forward to new features. There was one feature I really wanted and within a month it was there. Probably mere coincidence though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great piece of software"
5/5
What do you like best about screenflow?

Screenflow has everything I need from this type of software. I use it to record user interviews and edit the resulting videos. I also use it to edit any kind of video from other screen recording software, depending on what my client is using to capture the initial date. I can add captions, edit the audio, add transition effects, everything you might expect. You can even use it to record from mobile devices. It's proved itself to be very robust and has never crashed to my memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

There's not a lot to dislike to be honest. The timeline editing can get fiddly but I've found this with other video tools too. I think once you've learned the shortcut keys your workflow speeds up considerably. It's sold at a great price point and for any contractor its a valuable piece of software to have in your armoury.

"Screen Recorder for Mac"
3.5/5
What do you like best about screenflow?

This software has several advantages over the default Quicktime screen recording feature. Firstly, the fan does not spin as quick on a Macbook which creates a lot of noise. Secondly, Screenflow allows for basic post-recording processing/editing, which in Quicktime requires importing to iMovie to obtain the same feature.

Also, its screen recording quality is decent as well. When recording games, there is no big decrease in the fps which is ideal for computers that are not in the high-end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

The editing features are pretty minimal and sometimes I still resort back to other video editing software such as Final Cut Pro or iMovie. Their project files are also very large and takes up hard drive space very fast if long periods of time are recorded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My go to solution for anything recorded"
5/5
What do you like best about screenflow?

It's simple and intuitive interface. It is simple to record, but more so it is very easy to edit your recordings, enhance them and even upload them to various platforms. I use this product several times a week and always recommend it when people ask. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

That you have to install a plugin for recording mic audio and that the plugin has broken on me several times. I'd also love to see a company plan so that we don't have to keep buying individual licenses as people are hired and/or leave. Finally, upgrades are add-on purchases and past version are not supported when a new version comes out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Editing/Recording Software for Newcomers"
3.5/5
What do you like best about screenflow?

The simplicity of Screenflow is simply astounding. It maintains it's simplicity while offering plenty of features and a having a nice overlay. It has more than enough features for anyone who is starting out with recording, video, or even audio editing. Everything is clealy labeled and the software has a nice visibility in general. It has plenty of compatibility with multiple formats that are supported for both importing and exporting. The software is very user firendy and requires only minimal tinkering around with to get used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about screenflow?

While the software remains simple and easy to use, it lacks in the features department once the user becomes more experienced. This only applies to the editing part of Screenflow as the screen capture part is one of the bests parts of the software. The audio editing features are the ones lacking the most followed by the video editing features. Althoguh they are great for beginners they start becomming repetitive and aren't that useful for more advanced users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
