		<description>I tend to agree with you; it looks a little un-Mac-like. But yet, it is so easy to use that it can make up for it</description>

		<description>I have owned ScreenSteps Pro for a year and there&#039;s always been one &quot;mere&quot; thing, deterring me from using it without hesitation:

The interface.

I find it to be very unintuitive. Admittedly, once you get into grips with what does what, the speed of your work process will get (sort of) faster. But (!)—here&#039;s the caveat, in my opinion—if I&#039;m not using this every other day or so, I find it that I will quickly forget what did what. A lot of which is due to the interface and in my opinion (I might be the only one with this opinion, though), ambiguous differences (or relations) between the application&#039;s terminology; Manuals, Lessons, Instructions, Sections, and so forth… There&#039;s just too many terms and no obvious, crystal clear workflow path to me.

Maybe that&#039;s related to what you intend to do with it? I don&#039;t know. My intentions were to have a simple tool to quickly make quick instructions for my friends and peers—not necessarily Manuals, per se. I&#039;m somehow sceptic to preset terms that wants to suggest what the user will actually use the program for. What if I want to make travel descriptions, for example? Would that result in me making a manual intead of a simple instruction? I think I may know the answer to that: no, of course not. (And I believe the developers have all the intentions of making an app that&#039;s open for just about any kind of utilization you can think up, but again, something needs to loosen up.) As it stands right now, I find myself using the much more efficient app, Skitch. And should I need to include any copy/paste-able text, I&#039;ll just paste the image(s) into a TextEdit document and save it as a PDF or similar.

All this complaining aside, I&#039;m keeping an eye out for improvements in this app, and I still have faith in that it might become an easier application to use, both for computer illiterate folks, and experienced users on the look out for streamlined power tools.</description>
