Looks like a pretty good app to grab your audience's attention of by customizable mouse pointers, mouse clicks, visible keystrokes and a screen pen, with lots of customizable options availabl.

Decent alternative to Mousepose for MAC: so don’t be fooled by its current and once again misleading low GAOTD user rating.

In my view this GAOTD is a must have tool for anyone (webmarketers, teachers and IT Trainers) involved in demos, presentations and trainings (that's why it got a very low rating so far).

Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1 Pro 64 bit system.

A Chinese (?) company without name and address.

This is a special program. It enlarges the windows arrow to a "presentation pointer" for displaying and educational purposes of the screen.
You can also display mouse movement, key strokes or clicks and "live zoom".

This is done via definable function keys.

This works as it should. I would prefer instead of function keys the use a special mouse key. And an advice to the developer.

Do NOT simply enlarge the key image, take a high resolution new image for different sizes. And make things "blinkable".

For those presentation screens to an audience a good and working help.

ZoomIt is a screen zoom and annotation tool for technical presentations that include application demonstrations. ZoomIt runs unobtrusively in the tray and activates with customizable hotkeys to zoom in on an area of the screen, move around while zoomed, and draw on the zoomed image. I wrote ZoomIt to fit my specific needs and use it in all my presentations.

ZoomIt works on all versions of Windows and you can use pen input for ZoomIt drawing on tablet PCs.
Using ZoomIt

The first time you run ZoomIt it presents a configuration dialog that describes ZoomIt's behavior, let's you specify alternate hotkeys for zooming and for entering drawing mode without zooming, and customize the drawing pen color and size. I use the draw-without-zoom option to annotate the screen at its native resolution, for example. ZoomIt also includes a break timer feature that remains active even when you tab away from the timer window and allows you to return to the timer window by clicking on the ZoomIt tray icon.

#5: "I wish something like this was used by people presenting on webinars. Often their mouse pointers are so tiny they are impossible to follow. The same goes for people making instructional videos for YouTube."

Believe it's a mark I guess I'd say of less professionalism. This isn't the only software of it's kind, and more than one screen cap app includes this sort of thing as well. But like with captioning for the hearing impaired, some people can't be bothered. Hopefully some of those people will happen by GOTD today, try Presentation Pointer, & buy a license [since the GOTD terms are personal use].

IMHO the old adage still applies: "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well."
