This is by far one of the best software I’ve ever used. I would like it even more if we had more choices and more editing capabilities. Well, it is primarily designed for Windows and does not provide the same level of native. But I’ve had a fantastic experience using this software. their support has also been excellent, could not have asked for anything better than this.
