The app is great for day-to-day use, but their compliance algorithm is way too aggressive. My account was frozen for a week with no explanation after I received a large payment from a client. Trying to get it unlocked was a nightmare of unhelpful chat bots and slow email responses. It's too risky to use as my main account.

LangWatch has been a lifesaver. We were flying blind with our LLM costs and quality. Now we have a dashboard that shows us our token usage, latency, and tracks user feedback on responses. The automated evaluation for things like toxicity and PII detection gives us peace of mind. It's the Datadog for LLMs.

I don't even stream games; I use OBS Virtual Camera to pimp my Zoom calls. I can put my webcam in a circle, show my screen behind me, and add lower-thirds. It makes my remote presentations look like a TV production. Highly recommend learning the Virtual Camera feature.

I used to love Ally, but recently their support has been terrible. I tried to add a joint holder to my account and the process took literally weeks. Calls to support resulted in long hold times and untrained agents giving conflicting info. The '24/7 support' claim feels hollow when you can't get a straight answer. I'm considering moving elsewhere.

As a quality director, I rely on DocuSign to keep our approvals and SOP updates audit-ready. I get full visibility into who signed what and when. Pulling reports for audits is quick. It handles both simple internal approvals and complex external signatures with equal reliability.

The map layers on the PRO version are worth the subscription alone. Being able to see BLM and USFS land boundaries offline means I can find free camping spots confidently without cell service. The trip planner is also great for finding stops along a route. We saved hundreds on campground fees using this app.

I used to spend hours fighting with PowerPoint formatting. Canva Presentations makes me look like a professional designer in minutes. The templates are modern and beautiful. I love the 'Magic Design' AI feature that drafts a deck from a simple prompt. It's not perfect, but it gets me 80% of the way there instantly.

It handles the basics perfectly. I do wish it had more advanced features natively, like the smart scheduling of Reclaim.ai or the beautiful design of Fantastical. But for a free tool that's the default for most people, it's impossible to beat.
