Good idea poorly executed.
I like the idea of snap light but when I try to highlight words on the edge, it doesn't grab them. The box height isn't adjustable either and you can't move it around after you let go, you can only remove the highlight. Adding in a feature to move a highlight around the app can be more useful.
Makes something hard to do easy
Thanks for making this! I'll pay a buck for an app that makes my life easier. Sure there is a lot to add, but it gets the job done.
Good concept and 1.0 execution
I was excited to see this app as I've wanted a way to easily overlay a dark mask on an image and selectively remove the mask to highlight certain sections. For an initial release it is solid.
It is really only designed for screenshots or pictures of vertical paper and for de-masking (hi-lighting) rows of text. For this it works well. One problem I have is that I cannot always mark all the way to the end of a row on the right side of the screen, as there appears to be a margin effect. I'd love to see this fixed.
As the app seems designed for vertical pictures or screenshots, when using other images, you get a highly zoomed in and cropped effect. I'd like the developer to consider the ability to more easily use other/any sized image.
Currently, the hi lighting tool is only a horizontal bar. I'd like the ability to freely select any shape.
As it stands now, this is a good, single purpose app that with a few tweaks can be great, and with a few more design changes could be a great general purpose tool.
Well worth the price.

I feel bad that gregh1981 spent his last dollar on the app. The good news is he can sell his iPhone and get a lot more dollars back.

Meh...
I see the potential of this app, but I wish you could make the height of the highlights different sizes. I'd suggest for them to have the fixed height and a non-fixed height one. Also I can't place the highlights all the way to the edges of the screen. (Basically if you need those things I listed, this is a useless app)

Fun AND Useful App ~ Snaplight!
As a person who enjoys gathering knowledge in numerous arenas, this is an easy way to keep track of vital study info and my pertinent notes. The app took time, about two minutes, to 'learn' how to quickly and smoothly run my index finger over the sentences or paragraphs I wanted to store and share. I have 'cropped' photos from texts to save in order to better reference my notes. I envision a whole slew of uses for this app. Snaplight is convenient and needful on many levels!
