## What is Snap Camera!?

"Snap! is a photo annotation app that looks simple yet useful." - TUAW.com

"... the app does what it says! If you’ve ever come across a need to annotate photos, or think you could use something like this, then grab Snap!" - Christine Chan, appadvice.com

"I like using Snap! because it is one of those apps that does a task efficiently and cleanly, and does it well.  The simplicity of use is fantastic and once you start using it, you’ll find that you can’t help but annotate before you fire pics off to FaceBook or Twitter." - AppleBitch.com

"Brilliant tool! - This thing is seriously good - it has a simple interface but there is lots of power. ... Easy to use for casual use, but actually powerful enough for research and professional work!" - loblolly NZ user

Snap is the easiest way to add notes to your photos! Just snap a photo, write as many notes as you want, move them around with your finger and it'll be saved with the notes overlaid on it.

And sharing on Facebook, Twitter, Evernote or email is just a touch away.

Other apps can do this but only Snap has a beautiful and intuitive interface that makes using it easy and fun.

Snap is so fast and easy to use that it can be used as a replacement for the iPhone built-in camera app and be used in a number of situations:

- You're shopping for a new couch and taking a lot of pictures of your choices but later on you don't remember all the prices? Just write the prices on your picture. You can also write the dimensions, name of the store, name of the salesperson, anything!

- Just moved to a new house and need to remember the size of your rooms so you can shop around? Just take a picture and write down all you want.

- Want to remember how this great wine you're drinking tastes like and how much it costs? Snap a picture of the bottle and write it all down!

- Want to document your kid's homework? Take a picture and write the date, grade, description and keep them forever!

- Traveling? Write the names of all the places you've been so you don't forget when showing them to your friends.

- Want to have some fun? Take pictures from your friends and family and add captions, subtitles and labels. Kids love to play with Snap's intuitive interface.

Other great features include:

* Color: Now you can change the text and box color as well as the font and size of the text.
* AirPrint: Print your annotated photos from your iPhone.
* Photo Library: You can write on ANY image of your iPhone's photo library, not only on the pictures you take with the app.
* Auto save: Don't worry about saving your pictures. Snap saves everything in the background so you can keep snapping and taking notes.
* Geotag: Your location is saved on your image file, just like on the iPhone built-in camera app (iOS 4.1 or greater only).
* Touch to focus: Touch on your screen to set the focus anywhere (iPhone 4, 3GS in iOS 4.0 or greater).
* Touch for exposure: Touch twice anywhere to set the light exposure (iPhone 4, 3GS in iOS 4.0 or greater).
* Flash: Control the flash on your iPhone 4 just like on the built-in camera app.
* Front Camera: With the iPhone 4, take pictures with the front camera just like on the built-in camera app.
* Picture quality: Choose from high quality or low quality pictures.
* Pinch and zoom: Add notes to specific areas with a different font size.
* Orientation: Portrait and landscape orientation when adding notes.

### 5/5 — Really handy to have.

*2024-12-23, version 2.02*

You can’t go wrong for £1.99. It’s so easy to use. On any of your pictures. I got it to write my name on my pictures, perfect, but bear in mind, it only goes straight level, not horizontal, and it doesn’t do bubbles to come out of the head, which is a shame. But for £1.99 what you expect, but still worth buying,😁

### 1/5 — Why would I want this

*2022-07-24*

Why does this app even exist in the store. It’s misleading since there is another app by this name that creates characters. Despite claiming to be photo and video I see no video function… there is nothing here I can to with my built in camera

### 1/5 — Do not pay for this

*2021-08-17, version 2.02*

This app was a total waste of money , pls do not get this , the app is very glitchy and the worst app I have paid for

### 1/5 — HELP

*2021-02-05*

I accidentally accidentally bought the app can I have a refund

### 1/5 — Deceptive !!!

*2020-12-28*

How has it been allowed that an exclamation mark differentiates this app from snap camera!
I want my money back!!!!

### 1/5 — What a rip off

*2020-12-19*

Don’t buy. Just wasted 2.99 and can’t get it refunded

### 1/5 — Help

*2020-12-09*

Hi I accidentally bought this app can I refund please?

### 3/5 — Used to be so good

*2020-10-21*

On my older iPad, this app was awesome. I used it for work all the time.  Now on the newer iPad, it just freezes every 2 seconds.  Have to back out and get back in 3 times just to label something on a photo.... I use this for work and am looking for anything else to use... all i need is to label photos and screen shots of aerial photos of properties... there has to be something better... i just want this to work well again... please... help.  I’m trying to delete it and reinstall it now, hopefully that works... please update this thing or something... I’ll buy it for crying out loud

### 1/5 — Blatant misrepresentation

*2020-07-02*

After reading about Snap Camera on snap’s website and downloading this App that shows in App Store as Snap Camera — I end up with “Snap” that allows me to write on text, i.e. the same things iPhone already lets me do

### 1/5 — Not a filter!

*2020-04-14*

This is not the snap camera that will turn you into a potato for your video conferences, if that’s the sort of thing you are interested in! It only puts blocks of text on a picture. Also made huge files that crashed my phone.
