No way to resize box height?
I came on to check the reviews, just to make sure I wasn't missing something. I mean - you have got to be kidding me with this thing. No way to adjust the height of the box/selection? Why not? Would it have been so difficult to add this? I deleted the app within about 2 minutes of tinkering with it. Unintuitive, and seemingly useless (though, it was free). Why would Starbucks associate their name with this?

Useless...
If you enjoy not knowing how to use an app, being frustrated by technology or are just looking for a way to clutter up your phone's memory then I would recommend this app to you. There are no instructions and no tutorial. There are far better ways to accomplish what this app is described as being able to do.

No options
I was hoping it had some sorta of character recognition but this is anything but useful.
Selection box (no option to change size), take a picture, import picture and export are the only options.
Deleting and trying to forget how awful of an app this is, good thing it was free or I'd petition for a refund.

You get what you pay for sometimes
This was a free download ... I'm very pleased I did not pay for it.
It a great concept but does not work well and I say ( stats for the effort and concept.
I've used other apps that do much better at overlaying.
It needs work on actual functionality.

Crashes on start-up. Sounds like a neat concept but I wouldn't know because the developers created an app that can somehow be downloaded onto iOS 6.1 devices but crash upon opening. If you make something that iOS 6 can't handle, don't market it for iOS 6! That simple. It stinks that I wouldn't be able to download it if limited to 7 and above but at least I'm not wasting my time downloading it to only delete it.

Interesting Idea, but...
... I'm happy I didn't pay real money for this. Utility is very minimal. Images can't be resized to capture an entire line of text. Highlighting function is difficult to work with and very frustrating. I think it needs some work, particularly from the point of view of a typical user.
Less than impressive debut
In case you don't know what this app is for--welcome to the club. Here's what you should've been told on the first run of the app, but weren't.
Snap light is an app for creating photos from existing text. It's essentially a cropping tool: Highlight text in an existing photo, or take a new photo of a page of text, highlight the text line by line by dragging your finger from left to right across the screen, and then save your selection as a new photo.
In theory you could use this to make memes or inspirational quotes, but the current release doesn't allow the photo to be rotated, so if your text is skewed in the source photo, you won't get a clean crop.
Free from Starbucks this week, I'd download it before you have to pay for it, as this app isn't worth paying for--yet.

Seriously? Awful, beyond limited app.
Wow. This app is so sub par. I wish I could post screen shots of it's "functions" because there's a whopping FOUR options. All of which include...
1. Take a photo
2. Import a photo
3. Highlight area
4. Send/copy entire photo with that area highlighted.
You can't alter or custom the size of the rectangular highlight box so if your font is too large it doesn't fit, and if it's small it captures unwanted background. Not to mention it doesn't isolate the text, it hold makes a one size rectangle over it! You would genuinely be better off taking a screen shot/or saving a photo with text that you like and cropping it to your liking. Which you of course cannot even do with this app. It has absolutely no purpose! I got it for free from Starbucks. I can't believe people paid for this. I will be notifying Starbucks on what an awful "free redemption" suggestion this is!

Poorly executed
Can't resize the height of the highlight mask. Can't move the highlight mask after it's been placed. Doesn't provide any other function after you've highlighted text. Would be nice to convert image to text to copy and paste elsewhere. Lots of missing features, almost an unusable app. Would not pay a penny for it. Got it for free from Starbucks app.

Rotten to the core
This is probably one of the worst apps I have used. "Highlighter"? Don't make me laugh! It dulls everything to the point of it being unreadable. Then there is the crash problem. It stalls and does nothing. The only recourse is to exit the app and start again, but losing the image you had.
My advice is to steer very very clear of this app. It does not do what is claimed. It is cheap, but still a waste of money.
