### 1/5 — Can’t save image

*2024-01-19*

Adds arrow to a selected photo but it will not save image!!

### 5/5 — Easy For An Old Geezer To Use

*2020-01-26*

This was super easy to use.  It places arrows and circles on photos and they can easily be sized and moved anywhere on the photo!

### 2/5 — Circles work pretty well but....

*2019-07-04*

Circles work pretty well but the arrows are frustrating. You can’t get a precise position for the arrow because you can only tap to move it but you really need to be able to drag the arrow to get it precisely where you need it. I kept tapping and the arrow would a little off which is a huge problem when you are trying to point out an object that is tightly surrounded by other objects. I wanted to use this app to help someone hook up cables to the back of their tv but I can’t do that because the arrow keeps ending up in between the inputs or over the wrong one. I may find a use for this app later but without a drag and drop function for fine tuning it’s usefulness is limited.

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY!!!!

*2017-11-22*

You CANNOT move the arrows or circles to where you want them on your screen.  Incredibly frustrating and pointless.  Find another app that actually works.

**Developer response:** Of course you can move them, all you do is tap the screen and the arrows/circles move to where you tapped.  Thanks for the feedback.

### 3/5 — Does what it looks like

*2017-04-08*

Want to add pointers to pics? This does that.

**Developer response:** You can move the arrows around, and then you can also add another one.  These are current features, please email me and let me know exactly what you are looking for as these features are already there.  
Thanks for the feedback.

### 5/5 — YouTube Uses

*2017-04-02*

I use this with my YouTube channel, PranXter Productions. It does what it advertises and works good.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, I use it myself for similiar things.  Glad you liked it :)

### 5/5 — Darth
