Works perfectly

It picks up all text and really easy to use

Note for developers

It’s been great but I’m not able to report an issue, the app is crashing as soon as I select a photo

Abruptly quits

App abruptly quits for some photos or screenshots, please fix

Can only add 1 auto detect word - fixed

App is really neat, but after getting the extension, I am only able to add a single word. Would also love to see pdf support and would happily pay extra for it.

Edit: thanks for fixing the single word issue, and for fixing it so quickly. Found another one: the settings button doesn’t show up unless you grant access to photos, not sure if intentional, but nothing major. Bumped up to 5*.

Bah! Looks like I accidentally deleted the “add new word” button when I redid the settings section a few releases ago. I’ll get that fixed up ASAP. Thanks for the heads up!

Pretty good

Response from developer

Hey, I’ll take “pretty good”! Anything I could do to make it “really good?” Feel free to email me at hello@cocoatype.com if you’ve got any ideas, bug reports, questions, etc.

Fantasic Privacy Utility

I often need to share redacted images of text with clients or employees, and Black Highlighter works like a dream for this - the snap to text feature makes everything clean and professional and I don't need to worry about exposing confidential information.

Doesn’t work

I can’t redact anything

Keeps blacking out the whole document.

It would be great if it would actually save my document. Go through all the effort to fix everything and then it just blacks out the whole page when it saves it.

Response from developer

Oh no! I've heard of this happening before, but I haven't been able to recreate it myself. Can you e-mail me at hello@cocoatype.com with any info you have to help track this down? Additionally, you can contact me using the "Contact the Developer" item in the Settings menu by tapping the gear icon.

Great and handy tool

Only used for the function of blackout/highlighting documents and seems quite effective as it can lock onto text keeping things very neat. Quick and easy to use! Nice work :)

Response from developer

Thanks for the compliment! Let me know if there’s anything I can do to make it even better. 🖤

Crashing

Trying to use it. Love it, but, it just keeps CRASHING
