Softonic review

Use your screen as a drawing board

Desktastic is not my favorite app from the good people over at Panic, yet it still makes for a good screen drawing app.

The program allows you to draw lines and type text onto your screen. This can be of good use for showing things to others on your screen, preparing examples or a presentation. Once installed and launched, you'll find the different tools available on the left of the screen. These had a tendency to hide behind other windows, luckily there's a button to bring them forward.

The line drawing and text tools had a good feel to them and I got around to filling up my screen with indications, lines and arrows in no time.

If you have a tablet, you'll find Desktastic great to work with though.

I was a little disappointed by the limitations in the program though. For one, the choice of colors is fairly limited. You can't really change size and there are only a few width and opacity graduations to choose from. I would also like to see a bigger choice of brushes and pens.

If you're looking for a simple screen drawing application, then Desktastic is for you.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
