Hello, @rufans!

This is a nice review of a rather useful tool. Once again, your post is informative and well-illustrated with relevant graphic and video content. Keep up the good work.

I like all the information regarding the key features described in your post. You also went the extra mile and provided your own technical knowledge, views and experience of using the application. However, I have to admit that I wanted to read a bit more about the reasons why you believe this to be an amazing tool.

That said, the writing of this post was not good enough, I'm afraid. There were serious issues of grammar, style and proofreading. Regardless, you did a good job, and I appreciate the effort you put into your work.

I look forward to your next contribution.
