### 1/5 — Hard to select text - need to rotate or zoom

*2024-05-03*

Can't select text easily on iPhone 14, the hole in the screen top center is in the middle of the zoom area..

If you want to undo just the last edit it seems to undo everything.  If there is a button to undo last it isn't obvious.

Too much of a pain to select 2 lines of text when text is small...

### 4/5 — Citelighter on iphone15 doesn‘t recognize Korean

*2023-11-26*

Korean recognition works well on other devices I have. However, we found an issue where the newly installed citelighter on the iPhone 15 does not recognize Korean.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect!

*2021-04-06*

Super easy of use and simple UI make this a great hit! It would be great if there was a quick undo or redo button instead of the reset button. Love the zoomed scope, it’s almost perfect!

### 5/5 — The best tool for the job by far

*2021-04-12*

CiteLighter is the best solution I have found so far to share highlighted text online. So many screenshots of articles and book pages I see on social media are ugly or awkward to look at: You can still see the cursor, or the highlighting is hand-drawn in some basic photo editing app. CiteLighter, by comparison, just gives you the text, with beautifully-blended-in highlights in your choice of color. It even has a feature that allows you to blur the backdrop (on a slider, to your liking) which makes the finished result look really polished and professional. From there, it’s easy to share on any social media app you want.

### 5/5 — Great for sending highlighted paragraphs to friends

*2021-03-29*

I love this app and use it for when I want to capture a great phrase in a book I’m reading.
