Software Reviews and Criticism

  Unobtrusive yet hightlights cursor when needed!

  "myPoint Light S” is a beneficial, yet unobtrusive “cursor” highlighter that only appears when needed! Otherwise, the cursor is the normal “arrowhead." I have purchased other cursor highlighters which are constantly streaming “stuff." They are a “waterfall” of irritation! With "myPoint Light S,” if your “arrowhead” cursor becomes “lost,” just rapidly “circle” or “jiggle" your mouse or finger on your trackpad, and the cursor pops into sight with the "myPoint Light S cursor view” you selected. I use the “circle” in the first example above. Options are available for other “myPoint Light S” cursors. I use two monitors. “myPoint Light S” activates when I pass the cursor from one monitor to the other! This is a Five Star Cursor Enhancement for my usage! The $2.99 has not been an expense, it has been an investment in my time spent looking for: “That stupid lost cursor!” “Where did it go this time?” I don’t guarantee you will like it! I guarantee that I like it, and find it worthy of my purchase! Great Cursor Enhancement!

  More than just halo effects!

  This handy little app that does a lot more with your mouse than just halo effects. You get different arrows (transparent, black, red), rulers for measuring things (vertical and horizontal), line highlighters for reading, and all are scalable in terms of size and transparency. You can also flip the effect so it’s pointing the opposite direction. This is ideal for anyone with aging eyes or other vision disabilities as well as educators or marketers in need of screenshares or captures for explainer videos and tutuals. Regardless of what you need this app for, once you install it, you will never, ever, be able to “lose” your mouse again! I looked at several other mouse halo apps, but their reviews were mixed. Basically, the other apps were reported to be glitchy and/or unsupported as well as having severely limited, uncustomizable effects. myPoint Light S had the best reviews so I took a chance on it. I’m glad I did!

  Great developer support. Highly customizable and useful

  With three monitors, I wanted an app to be able to quickly locate the mouse cursor after typing for a long time. This app was perfect for my needs. It has a lot of customization available and is an absolute steal for .99cents. I emailed the developer about a small bug I found with occasional flickering of the ring around the mouse when traveling between screens and he responded within a few hours and took the time to get to know my problem and then promised a fix by the next version. There’s a tiny bit of lag of the crosshairs/indicator when moving the mouse at high speeds but it’s barely noticeable. There’s occasional flickering when moving between screens. Once the latter issue is fixed, I’ll update the review to 5 stars.

  2.23. pointer graphic

  It does what it is designed to do. Not much. It does show the mouse position when you shake the mouse, and you can control much about that graphic. Yes Siera has a locater, pointer, and if that is all you need the built in one should suffice quite well. If you are doing presentations, live or video, this is a very good app to have. you can turn your pointer into an attention getting device, change it with key commands on the fly. Sript reading and story reading, for your self or aloud, ther are moving lines. Well it can help in drawing - but not a lot. and really that is all it is designed to do. Simple, inexpensive, and it is Not a subscription. if you, like Dan Zaph, what to remove it, contact the developer, they will explain how.
