Nik Lav (ID: 000000e7aedb6a7a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/14/2024 UPDATE 6/13/24 Works but crops the screenshot when I select the image. It doesn't always take a screenshot from the place I start selecting and that's aggravating. I uninstalled it to find something easier to use and more reliable. REVIEW 1/25/20 Works as described.
