Scroll once, get the whole page. Rollshot makes long screenshots the way they should work on iPhone: start a recording, scroll to the bottom, and the long screenshot is ready when you stop. No stitching by hand, no counting screens, no video left behind in Photos. THREE WAYS TO GET A LONG SCREENSHOT • Scroll & record — tap Start, go to the page you want, scroll down. Pause for three seconds and it finishes on its own. Works in chats, feeds, articles, orders, anything that scrolls. • Stitch screenshots — pick a few screenshots you already took. Rollshot lines them up by content, in any order, and shows you the one it couldn't place instead of guessing. • Web page — paste a link and get the whole page as one image, rendered on your phone. STITCHING THAT HOLDS UP • Sticky headers, toolbars and tab bars are kept once, not repeated at every seam. • Status bar and scroll indicator removed automatically. • Every seam is visible and adjustable: drag the lower part into place, or delete a segment. A seam that might be missing content is marked, never silently glued. • Import a screen recording from Photos if you already have one. CLEAN IT UP BEFORE YOU SHARE (PRO) • Blur out — brush over anything you want hidden, as pixels or blur. In a group chat, hide every avatar at once. The pixels are really gone, not covered by a box. • Tiled watermark — grid or staggered, with the text, density, angle, opacity and colour you choose. The watermark goes on the exported copy only; the original in your library is untouched. • Subtitle stitching — pick a few movie screenshots and keep just the subtitle line from each, stacked into one image. Or pick a video clip and every line becomes a strip. Order follows the order you picked, and a line that stays on screen for a while is kept once. • Any photo from your library can go straight in for blur-out and watermarking, without stitching first. EXPORT WITHOUT THE TRAP • Full-resolution original, a WeChat-friendly size, or a custom width. File sizes shown before you save. • Crop, save to Photos, share, or export a PDF (one tall page, A4 pages, or one screen per page). • The three ways to get a long screenshot run start to finish for free, and the export step never stops you. The only free-version marks are a small signature line under the image (crop it off anytime) and a library of your latest 20. • The items marked Pro above are paid features; you can preview the result before deciding. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE • No account, no ads, no analytics. Recording, stitching, blurring, watermarking and export all happen on device. Your images are never uploaded. • Screen recording never writes a video to your library — only the key frames needed for stitching are kept, inside the app. • Picking screenshots uses the system picker; no photo library permission needed. Rollshot Pro is a single one-time purchase (Family Sharing included): subtitle stitching, tiled watermark, blur out, PDF export, custom export width, no signature line and an unlimited library. There is only this one Pro — no subscription, no credits, no second tier. Works on iPhone and iPad. Questions: info@miramiao.com

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LinkShell at none against Rollshot's 1. Rollshot's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
