Needs to add mask colors
I’ve been using this since the first version. A lot. My only pet peeve is the one grey/white. People have various vision issues.
It would be more useful if the mask color could be varied lighter or darker depending on situation. Even black to redact. Even more useful is adding colors both to highlight visible text, say in yellow, and to the mask for contrast purposes.
I find no other app that picks out text in a photo as easily. Now it’s a matter of what you do with it after selected.

Crashes every time
When I first downloaded, this app was perfect! But soon after, it stopped working at all. The app will open, allow you to highlight but as soon as you try to save your pic, it crashes.
I hope the app can be fixed. But until then, it’s useless.

Hi rayann, ensure you have enabled photo permissions for Snaplight to resolve this error. Go to the Settings app on your device, find "Privacy", then "Photos," scroll to select Snaplight and make sure Read and Write photos permissions are turned on.
Crashing
Before the last update, I LOVED this app! I would have given it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So many times I just wanted to highlight a small amount of text from within a lot of text and this worked perfectly!!!
But now for some reason, every time I try to save what I have done, the app crashes and it doesn't save my work! I am running the latest iOS on my iPhone. I think it may need another update. I expect an app that I pay for to work :(

One trick pony for SCREENSHOTS only
It highlights easily enough, although beginning the highlight drag inside an existing area will not work. Highlights can be removed sequentially only, so multiple areas can be removed but only if you lose the ones added after the one you wish to delete. This ONLY works on screenshot sized pics at this time.

Works for intended use
I like the concept, but I think users were expecting to use this app in a way the author hadn't intended. I'm one of those people - I wanted to upload a pic from my phone and highlight it, but this isn't possible yet. Well, it's "possible" but not functional unless the pic you're updating is the exact dimensions of your phone, otherwise it will be cropped. This app works fine if you take a photo of a page in a book or take a screenshot from iBooks/Kindle app (but then the words are entirely to small to highlight well), but for now you cannot highlight memes or inspiration quotes or any other pic that isn't of iPhone photo dimensions.
- It's not clear that the crop button also functions as an undo button - I only discovered that by accident
- The height lock is actually really clever for highlighting multiple lines of a book, but I would have never guessed by the button symbol that that was its function
- App description says cropping and zooming is coming to the app, so I'll keep this on my phone for now

Downloaded this app but have no idea how it works no instructions or guidance useless.
Horrible
What a useless, clumsy app.
1 star, only because I could give less
What a piece of crap. The App Store should not eve allow this to remain for sale AND SHOULD REFUND MY MONEY.
Terrible
Can't even zoom in or out, so you're left to highlight whatever it chooses to show you in the app. Don't waste your money.
Not very useful
Forget the people that like this app. They are just spaghetti sauce. It crops. But very clumsy design. Deleting.
Waste of 99 cents
This looks like a school project. Can't highlight near image edges, no way to zoom/move image, lack colors, can't resize selections, etc.
Good idea which doesn't work
Unfortunately when you load a photo you can only see part of it so you aren't able to highlight the text you want to - useless at the moment
Great idea. Flawed execution. Hold off until developer fixes major issues
Great idea for an app. Terrible execution. There has to be a way to easily readjust your selection. Currently you can't modify what you highlight. Your only option is to delete it and do it over, which is tedious and unnecessary.
The camera function doesn't work properly either. Using it and framing something is pointless as it resizes it when you try to highlight.
There's no way to hide the controls which usually get in the way of what you're trying to highlight as well.
Please fix these issues.
You have a great simple concept here, but all the issues listed above make it unusable.

Still not working right
It's basically unusable. Before when it used to work, I would've given it 4 stars. The buttons aren't extremely intuitive, but it worked (past tense) well for its purpose. Now and for the past few months, each time I select a photo from my Camera Roll, it's zoomed-in so far only approx. 15% of the photo is visible. There's no way to zoom-out, and thus, it's unusable. I liked it, but now I'm deleting it.

Poorly done
No zooming in or out, no scrolling, no help or instruction. Overall, not a very friendly app, very limited
Good, needs work.
If your photo doesn't fit the size of your screen perfectly you can't see all edges. I work with square images a lot and this app would be perfect if I could zoom out and see the whole picture.
Needs improvement
It’s a good idea! But the interface is confusing, it does not seem to work on photos that have been cropped. With a little more work I could see this being very useful.
Practical
A quick way to highlight a picture or a screenshot before sending to someone, or for your own reference if you prefer to keep picture notes. I'm surprised it doesn't have a higher rating.
Simple app does one thing okay
Really does this app have to exist? If you highlight a lot of text passages for social media, I guess. If you really need this functionality in a hurry, then this could be the app for you.
This simplicity of the app is its downfall. The look will get old quick, it makes the image darker with highlighted areas appearing normal. You can't change the opacity of the background, can't change colors. Basic features that should be there ain't, forget anything else deeper. Sorry try harder next time.
