Huge time saver\! > > **Cons**: The UI is a bit buggy sometimes but it's a young app and the developer takes feedback seriously. A bug I was having was fixed within 1 day of emailing. Well worth the up-front investment for a Pro license. > > Oleksii is very easy to work with. He's always looking for feedback. Wonderful developer and a nice app\! ----- ### "Fantastic tool for creating workflow and process instructions" — 5.0/5 > **Adam** | *5 September 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The process to capture screenshots and create effective work instructions for peers and colleagues is extremely easy. The Folge team is also highly responsive and proactive in reviewing customer feedback and considering it for future releases. > > **Cons**: Many of the features I didn't think were present were already in the program. I didn't read the manual\! The tool could do a slightly better job of prompting you to check out the manual but it's really a case of read the manual and FAQ first to save a lot of time\! > > A fantastic tool for creating workflow and process instructions. Does what it says on the tin and has been well thought out throughout the app. Highly recommended. ----- ### "Good product that helps create guide for users" — 5.0/5 > **Kraisit** | *4 February 2023* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use. Friendly User Interface and regular update. > > **Cons**: Very Few. Probably about layout which I can adjust manually later. > > Like this product. ----- ### "This is the best software for preparing documentation." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *14 December 2023* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: the one time cost is a novelty in today's digital marketplace. Knowing that I own my technology/software gives me peace of mind as not only someone who does contract work on the side, but also has a company machine that I have to use for me daily driver. It is incredibly simple to use, even my less than literate users are able to now develop their own documentation outlines and have the IT team or someone else on their own team help to finish up the more technical side. This is the end all be all of documentation software for me and I will be using it exclusively for the rest of my career. > > **Cons**: There is not much that I can complain about really. I would like their to be a mobile app or some kind of mobile connection that could be established to make creating tablet or smartphone documentation easier, but even then that's not really all that necessary. ----- ### "Folge is easy to use and provides a lot of features" — 5.0/5 > **Jordan** | *25 January 2023* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the reasons we use Folge is because it is easy to use, the editing with hot keys are great, keeping it simple but providing a lot of useful features. > > **Cons**: Honestly, not an issue with the software, but i wish i could output into our documentation platform. Currently i use the export to word, then copy that in and modify the formatting to fit within the documentation platform. The platform we use is not heavily used in the world, so its not really a worthwhile time investment to implement. I wish they would handle the import the word documents or another format that folge uses in a more reliable way so it was easier to bring them over there. > > Solid, i have had hundreds of screenshots in a document before, and while it was large, performing some cropping helped reduce the size, but the fact that Folge keeps the original screenshot instead of over writing it with the crop has always been amazingly useful. I love that I can remove the crop and do it again if it does not provide all of the information, even if its a year later. Adding pointers, highlighters, and other information to images has been very useful, and the fact that its all hot keyed makes it even better. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/251239/folge?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/251239/folge) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
