My best choice for creating interactive courses and games
I use Active Presenter since one of the earliest version if I remember well about 8 years or more ago. I liked the screen record feature you can use with simplicity. I created two interactive games for children in preschooler age about basic English and colours, it was very easy to find how to manage the interactivity and also the support was very fast in giving me a solution when I had to create an interactive bookshelf to sell a market products using custom pictures and Paypal method and buttons.
Pros
I liked the extensive features you can use and the simplicity of the UI. I created two interactive games and imported my assets without any inconveniences. I exported in HTML5 the final product and it worked fine with any browsers.
Cons
I don't know any cons because during the use if I had a problem in a matter of time the support helped me.

Excellent eLearning Authoring Tool with World-Class Customer Support
Our team has used ActivePresenter to develop and publish more than 30 eLearning modules with assessments for the past 5+ years.
Pros
The application has an intuitive slide-based workflow, a robust set of eLearning development tools, multi-modal publishing (demo, tutorial, practice, and test modes) and one-click publishing to HTML5 and/or SCORM formats for ready deployment via LMS (we use it with MOODLE). The few times I have needed support, the team was very responsive and extremely helpful and even on a few occasions created scripts to make the software do what we needed it to do (which were somewhat non-standard use-cases). I have used many eLearning development and deployment platforms (including the 2 heaviest hitters in the industry), but ActivePresenter is hands-down
the best value for the money and is most accessible for new team members to ramp up in learning development.
Cons
No cons after 5+ years of use creating and publishing dozens of interactive learning resources.

All in 1 screen recording
Overall, as long as you are Okay with their animation quality and the price, ActivePresenter is a great choice for users who need a comprehensive and easy-to-use screen recording. It offers a wide range of features and an intuitive interface makes it suitable for all skill levels.
Pros
ActivePresenter offers a wide range of features for screen recording, video editing, and e-learning content creation. It has an intuitive and easy-to-use interface, making it suitable for users of all skill levels. It allows you to record your screen, webcam, and audio simultaneously, giving you the option to create videos with multiple layers of audio and visual content.
Cons
I do understand why people like ActivePresenter, but compared to other alternatives, ActivePresenter is quite expensive, and their animation, such as transition, ouch it is ugly, sometimes I feel like using the old windows video editor.
Response from Atomi Systems
Hi,
Thanks for your contributing review. Our latest version has been released with 30 transitions and up to 80 animations to make the slides and videos change smoother. Kindly refer here: https://atomisystems.com/activepresenter/
Hope you will continue loving and supporting ActivePresenter.

Awesome Control and Flexibility
In my short time using ActivePresenter so far, I have been extremely impressed with the functionality that can be developed using this tool. Where some might prefer a more streamlined experience that caters to the novice - I prefer a blank slate and I appreciate that this authoring tool does a nice job of balancing the experience for both new and veteran users alike.
Pros
ActivePresenter leaves control to the developer and allows for a great deal of flexibility to realize your projects. User friendly interface makes most things easy to find. Strong JavaScript support and extremely well written documentation. Technical support from developer via community forums is fantastic.
Cons
JavaScript coding is a little heavier due to the syntax requirements but a small concession compared to what is possible.
Response from Atomi Systems
Hi Greg,
We're happy that you love our product.
I hope you will continue supporting us to develop this product and others more in the future. You can give a try at another product of us, Saola Animate. It is a tool to help you create HTML5 animation and interactive web content. You can also apply JavaScript and coding skills in this tool.
We hope to accompany you a long journey further onwards <3
