  • Fantastic app

    I used this when I worked for sears , I fix appliances, and often have to take pictures to show identified damages and issues. This app helps me to make pointers and arrow marker that is sharp and simple to operate.

    It grabs the attention and guides it to the point of interest. I search it out again , re download it, and I’ll never lose it again.

  • The last basic photo editor you’ll look for

    Can open from the edit option in pictures or thru the app directly. Does arrows, boxes, lines, text, blur sensitive details, and can easily adjust what has been done. Multiple color options so it stands out on any background…. I could go on. I’ve used this app for years and cannot count the number of times it’s come in handy for personal or work use.

    Some notes on other review topics:
    -You have to deselect the edit you are doing or it thinks your still working on it and won’t save that.
    -there is no baby sitting tutorial on how to work it, but it’s not rocket science. I hang my head on how some people cannot figure out basic things like this on their own. Touch an option, pick a color, touch the screen, drag and release. Practice with all the tools and figure out the little differences. The only “sneaky” thing is the option to outline text by touching the letter on the text box.
    -don’t think it’s ever crashed on me throughout the years of use, but honestly I never open the app directly. I select edit options on the photo I want to edit and select Skitch for my editor option.

  • Great app, with a few tiny annoyances.

    Skitch is a massively useful app for making quick edits on screenshots, playing with or pointing out details on photos - - as well as pixelating sensitive areas in photos such as faces or license plates - -, sharing information between creatives… the list goes on and on. Being iPad-friendly really makes it useful in a higher level too, for editing smaller graphics and text that are too tiny to edit on your phone. All in all, it’s one of my favorite apps.

    The only real issues I’ve had with it are it’s propensity to crash after editing images and trying to save them in certain ways, such as “sharing” an image to the app via iPhone sharing in the camera app directly as opposed to using the app in a stand-alone fashion and then selecting the image from your photo library. When you share to the app it almost always crashes after hitting the “Done” button and you lose your edit. Always use as a stand-alone app and then select the image from your photos and you’ll have a much better experience!

    The only other things I find less than exemplary about Skitch is its limited color palette and somewhat limited selection of drawing tools, but these are really tiny gripes; the app is truly a gem!

    If I could give a 4 3/4 star rating, I would. It’s better than four stars but not quite a five.

  • Super Easy to Use

    For basic needs like adding notes/marks to any picture. Or modifying small errors without having to redo something in its entirety. Even use it to add my signature to some documents.
  • Evernote strikes again

    Ever have a great app that just does one thing, but does it really well? And then a bigger company buys the make of that app and both sides gush about how this new arrangement is going to make the app even better? And then the app doesn’t get better because it’s shelved by the new owners who never had any intention of developing it or even supporting it, they just wanted to kill off a competitor... Like what happened to FrameMaker when Adobe bought it? Yeah, that’s happened with Stitch now too. I used to use Stitch all the time back in the day. Now Evernote have bought it and chained it outside to die. Screw you, Evernote!!

  • AWFUL APP ICON

    Update: you changed the icon. Thank you.

    Are you serious??? A red heart? The icon looks like it belongs to a high school chick novel. I'm embarrassed to have iron my screen. I'll change the star rating when you change the icon to something professional looking.
  • Crashes constantly, app doesn’t fit screen, many features broken.

    Every time I try to access features from a screenshot, the app immediately crashes and I’m booted back to the native screenshot options page.

    Oddly, these features are also limited compared to what you can do opening the Skitch app on its own.

    The only two features I even liked were: the Arrow (which can be quickly placed on a screenshot) and the Caption option (something I would LOVE to have in the Apple native screenshot markup toolkit). Unfortunately, the Arrow feature crashes without even saving the screenshot to my photos or files, and the caption option isn’t even available unless I open skitch from outside the screenshot menu!!!!! I have to save the screenshot first and then open it in Skitch, which is not fast enough to be useful!

    So my question to the devs: whats the point?
    How is this a “productivity” app when it’s mostly counterproductive?

    If these things were fixed, and the app was updated to match current iOS softwares, I’d consider using it. Until then, I can’t recommend it for any reason.

  • Awesome app

    So far so good. Using it has been easy to learn!!! I been using it for my daily to do’s as a check off list. I Write my to do’s, take a pic of it and then use app to simply write a line across goal accomplished. Haven’t used it much more then that. But plan to see what other fun stuff it can do.
  • Quick professional graphics COOL

    This app helps you create text graphics easy and quick. Has all the options to share, print, post. It’s been around for over a decade. Always reliable. Pretty amazing guys!!! As a professional with an expensive digital studio, THIS I still find my pocket “go to”. AWESOME💪🏼🇺🇸💜
  • Needs a bit of updating

    I’ve been using Skitch on my MBP (now a MBA) for years. I also use it in my iPhone on the go and it always seems to help me out with something. But with my new iPhone XS it’s just getting in its own way. Really need to update the app here to allow for the new screen size/shape. Many button and text prompts are incorrectly displayed and it’s a bit ugly tbh.

    Simple fixes though so I’m hoping to see some soon.
