In spite of the rather unfortunate news about the misbehavior of App Store apps and the delays of up to nine months prior to Apple removing them, obtaining software through the Mac App Store is still probably somewhat safer than doing a Google search for an app and clicking on whatever you happen to see in the results.
Boinx Software has announced the availability of Mousepose, a mouse pointer-highlighting tool for presentations, screencasts or demos, in Apple’s new Mac App Store. The app is available at version 3.2 and requires Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later.
Mousepose helps capture, hold and guide your audience's attention, according to Boinx Software.
When activated, Mousepose dims your screen and shines a spotlight on the area around your mouse pointer, helping guide your audience's attention to an area of interest.
Mouse clicks can be visualized easily by the audience as Mousepose draws a red circle around it each time the presenter makes the click.
Users can customize their clicks to coincide with a specific sound, and even give right and left clicks different colors in order to tell them apart.
Mousepose also features keystroke visualization tools, which help audiences see each pressed key.

'We are thrilled to have Mousepose available in the Mac App Store,' comments Oliver Breidenbach, CEO, Boinx Software. 'Mousepose is the perfect tool to grab your audiences' attention and keep them focused throughout your presentation.”
“Our fifth app to hit the Mac App Store, we are thrilled with the reception we are receiving from customers and proud to be a part of this new purchase and download platform,” Breidenbach added. “We are working hard to make sure that all of our apps are available in the Mac App Store soon.'
