Skitch - Snap. Mark Up. Send. Hack 3.4.1 + Redeem Codes

Skitch is a massively useful app for making quick edits on screenshots, playing with or pointing out details on photos - - as well as pixelating sensitive areas in photos such as faces or license plates - -, sharing information between creatives… the list goes on and on. Being iPad-friendly really makes it useful in a higher level too, for editing smaller graphics and text that are too tiny to edit on your phone. All in all, it’s one of my favorite apps.

The only real issues I’ve had with it are it’s propensity to crash after editing images and trying to save them in certain ways, such as “sharing” an image to the app via iPhone sharing in the camera app directly as opposed to using the app in a stand-alone fashion and then selecting the image from your photo library. When you share to the app it almost always crashes after hitting the “Done” button and you lose your edit. Always use as a stand-alone app and then select the image from your photos and you’ll have a much better experience!

The only other things I find less than exemplary about Skitch is its limited color palette and somewhat limited selection of drawing tools, but these are really tiny gripes; the app is truly a gem!

If I could give a 4 3/4 star rating, I would. It’s better than four stars but not quite a five.

Virtually everyone that I know in the Clash of Clans community who is serious about clan wars uses Skitch to draw out their battle plans and attack strategies for review, enough that it has become a verb "go Skitch that plan". There are other software solutions, however Skitch is by far the best and as a clan leader it distresses me to think that EverNote is considering discontinuing it. I require members of my clan to use Skitch, and am hoping, considering the huge number of people playing Clash of Clans that they will reconsider.

Skitch allows us to take a screen shot of the town we plan to attack and clearly indicate troop and spell deployment, with color coding and labels to clearly indicate the details of the planned attack. I truly hope that EverNote realizes what a gem they have in this product and does not discontinue it.

Can open from the edit option in pictures or thru the app directly. Does arrows, boxes, lines, text, blur sensitive details, and can easily adjust what has been done. Multiple color options so it stands out on any background…. I could go on. I’ve used this app for years and cannot count the number of times it’s come in handy for personal or work use.

Some notes on other review topics:
-You have to deselect the edit you are doing or it thinks your still working on it and won’t save that.
-there is no baby sitting tutorial on how to work it, but it’s not rocket science. I hang my head on how some people cannot figure out basic things like this on their own. Touch an option, pick a color, touch the screen, drag and release. Practice with all the tools and figure out the little differences. The only “sneaky” thing is the option to outline text by touching the letter on the text box.
-don’t think it’s ever crashed on me throughout the years of use, but honestly I never open the app directly. I select edit options on the photo I want to edit and select Skitch for my editor option.

I've used Skitch for about five years now, used it across hundreds of scenarios, and, every time, it's fulfilled what function(s) I expected of it, even going, in numerous cases, well beyond my expectations. Primarily, Skitch has aided me in elucidating, in adding clarity and precision to my attempted communication with colleagues, as well as with a varied assortment of correspondents otherwise, doing so chiefly via its offered range of user-tailorable text, arrows, and so on. Skitch has proven itself enormously useful in every one of those instances, and I am more than glad to have it in my stable of indispensable image editing apps and applications. Way to go, devs!

– 5.0 Stars!

I thought it would be fun to use Skitch to help me design my back patio and so I downloaded it. It did good for me at the time on my new iPad Pro (1st gen). 1 plus years later there is no update, no new features and no more continued use on my part. I just attempted to utilize it to help me redesign my garage using the current picture to help conceptualize a different layout. The app has crashed on me after about a few minutes and fortunately not much was done. I opened it again and this time after 30 minutes of tedious work it crashed with no draft image of work as I progressed. Thanks for the waste of time and you are most certainly welcome for the good laugh at my expense. I will be addressing any other applications or programs that I currently use that are made by Evernote and will be discontinuing my use of those as well. And if it just so happens to be a paid subscription, too bad!

I use both the mobile app and the chrome browser extension. I would say this is the app I use more than any other. From designing to home decorating to giving my clients tutorials - this is the best for me! So quick and easy. The only thing I would like to see and which I'd pay a small premium price for is additional fonts and font options. When I need to take a screenshot and annotate it to give to a client quickly I would like it to look a little bit more professional. I don't really like the bubbly font other than that everything is great!

Please, please do NOT CANCEL the Skitch project😌😌😌😤😤😫😮😳

There is nothing else quite like Skitch in the App Store. Sketch is a great tool, with a few minor problems. Please please do not cancel this project! Keep SKITCH live!

:: my Prior review ::

Too many problems 😱 persisting perniciously

≡≡≡

I've been using Skitch for more than five or six years on a Mac. Before they were bought by Evernote, I really liked them. Now it seems they don't do anything right.

My current problem is, on iPhone 4s, Skitch crashes in the middle of editing an image 😱😱😱 way too often , after making five or six annotations, the app crashes, losing all your work.

Meanwhile, on my iPad Air, the user interface is really clunky and unresponsive. Try to insert an arrow and some text and a frame or box, everything is really too awkward with the UI.

✯✯✯✯★ One star for Skitch. However, I haven't yet found anything better for annotating images.

As a project manager I am very saddened by how you seem to be handling your share extension issues. Your users have been telling you that it has not been working for quite a while and yet there has been no major communication of your intent to address the issue.

Tonight you just issued another update with "Major improvements and bug fixes". I am not sure what the situation is but I am sure that saying that your users find this to be blatantly disrespectful is saying it lightly.

This is not how a bugs, nor broken features should be handed. Even if you do not have the solution to the issue you could & should address your user's concerns and broken experiences. We expected the extension to work and we expect you to acknowledge the issue. Not continuously put out updates that ignore the obvious.

Every time I try to access features from a screenshot, the app immediately crashes and I’m booted back to the native screenshot options page.

Oddly, these features are also limited compared to what you can do opening the Skitch app on its own.

The only two features I even liked were: the Arrow (which can be quickly placed on a screenshot) and the Caption option (something I would LOVE to have in the Apple native screenshot markup toolkit). Unfortunately, the Arrow feature crashes without even saving the screenshot to my photos or files, and the caption option isn’t even available unless I open skitch from outside the screenshot menu!!!!! I have to save the screenshot first and then open it in Skitch, which is not fast enough to be useful!

So my question to the devs: whats the point?
How is this a “productivity” app when it’s mostly counterproductive?

If these things were fixed, and the app was updated to match current iOS softwares, I’d consider using it. Until then, I can’t recommend it for any reason.

I love Skitch for its ease of use and variety of features. Though, I'm having a couple of issues that make the app more of a hassle.
I mainly use Skitch to annotate pictures. Whenever I choose a picture from my album, the picture is blurry and hard to see, even when zooming in. However, whenever I save or send the picture, it's in perfect resolution.
The drawing tools are also hard to use, especially when zoomed in because I cannot see what I'm drawing on.
All I want is to see pictures in full detail without being blurry, better zoom, and an easier way to use the tools so that I can see what I'm annotating.
Other than that, the app is perfect. Once I see that these issues are fixed, I will rate Skitch five stars. Thank you!
