When I first heard about it, I thought - this is a killer feature worth the crossgrade by itself. But when I looked at the details, I realize that this feature, although awesome in theory, fails miserably:
- it only works server-side. From what I understand, you must have internet connection in order to use it. Therefore, it is really not a L6 feature, it is really an internet feature - there are better alternatives elsewhere. If it had been a local feature, it would have MUCH more value, but still with limitations below. Such as:
- Does it even have spell-check? (I honestly don't know, I would love to upgrade and test this, but Logos' site is so unresponsive and with links broken, I cannot yet compare the versions to determine the right upgrade). I would not want to produce a visual that has not been spell-checked.
- Limited amount of custom templates. Although Logos team promised more to come, the key term is Limited.
- No flexibility. According to Eli, we won't be able to use custom backgrounds for the whole L6 product cycle.
Custom backgrounds has definitely been discussed for a future version, but not in 6.0.
That is at least 2 years, folks! I don't know about you, but these Logos' backgrounds will get "old" and boring really fast! What is the point of a "visual" if it is boring and does not keep audience attention?
This whole "feature" can be implemented/reproduced better with free local apps, that would be faster, more robust, and flexible than Visual Copy.
