User reviews
Users praise this extension for its ease of use, effective annotation tools, and strong collaboration features, especially for teams providing design and development feedback. It stands out for quick sharing and not requiring login for commenters. However, multiple users report technical issues including unreliable full page capture, frequent crashes, and sign-in problems limiting capture functionality. Recent changes adding extra steps to save screenshots have also reduced usability. Despite some bugs, the extension remains highly valued for improving productivity and communication on screen-related tasks.

- Effective screen capture and annotation tools that save time.
- Excellent for collaboration and sharing screenshots without requiring commenters to log in.
- Highly recommended by users working with designers and development teams for feedback.

Cons

- There are issues with capture limits for guest users and sign-in problems affecting functionality.
- Added steps required to process captures hinder workflow compared to earlier versions.

Doug Depker, 2023-08-10I really like this extension and how easy it is/was but I find that it crashes frequently.
The other issue I'm having is that when you capture a page It keeps giving me the error message 'Sign-in to keep creating more capture links, collaborate on PDF's and more. 🙈 You’ve reached the max number of capture links (3) as a guest user' I sign into my account, but it still get the message when I try to capture a page.
In order to use the tools I need to take a screenshot using my computer function and then go into Instacap > Create a project and upload the screenshot and then I need to go to 'My Projects" to select it before it opens. This never was the case; I could always capture a page and immediately it would open in Instacap/capture board. So I don't know what has happened or changed but I don't use it as often due to all these new steps.
