Take and save photo notes without adding them to your Camera Roll. Using the standard Camera app for a quick note on your iPhone fills your Camera Roll with photos and uses storage space. StickyCamera saves photos inside the app, keeping your Camera Roll tidy. Photos are saved with reduced image quality to use less storage space. This means they may look less sharp than the originals. You can also share photos with other apps without first saving them to your Camera Roll. Recommended for: • Taking quick photo notes on your iPhone • Recording your opponent’s Pokémon choices during a battle without filling your Camera Roll with photos
