Adam Pratt of Adobe writes on his blog "Scratch Disk": "I spend a lot of time presenting/demoing/teaching/training Adobe software to our customers, and 99% of the time it's done on a Mac. If that sounds like something you do, then you should check out the new Mouseposé 2 from Boinx Software. [...] It's really a great teaching/training tool. All you ACE trainers out there are gonna love this!"

User Savilleguy posts a review of Mouseposé on VersionTracker: "I already thought that version 1.3 was fantastic, but version 2 is just what I need. I often make short tutorials or movies to help clients & this makes these even easier to follow as I can invoke the shortcut to briefly highlight an important area."

Matt Neuburg for ExtraBITS: "Mouseposé used to be effectively a one-trick pony - when you pressed a hotkey combination, it temporarily darkened the screen outside a circle around the cursor - and it didn't provide enough options to be useful to me. Now, however, Mouseposé 2 incorporates a couple of valuable improvements."

A great program that puts other similar ones to shame. It's not only the functionality but the elegance and good looks that make it a winner. After all, a presentation is supposed to look good, and Mouseposé if anything, will make it look even better.
