## Review summary

Users praise Nimbus as a simple, useful screenshot tool with good formatting and easy-to-use editing. Repeated complaints center on unreliable full‑page/scroll captures, visual corruption or cropped images on Windows 10/11, and failures when capturing dynamic or protected content (React sites, ChatGPT dialogs, protected PDFs).

### Pros

- Useful and recommended by multiple users for everyday captures
- Easy to learn and use; straightforward interface
- Produces well-formatted results and includes basic editing/annotation features

### Cons

- Full‑page/scrolling capture often fails or only captures the first view
- Visual glitches, cropping or ‘folded’ images reported on newer Windows systems (Windows 10/11) when making large/full screenshots
- Struggles with dynamic or protected content (React sites, ChatGPT dialogues, protected PDFs)
