Skitch - Snap. Mark Up. Send. Reviews

by Kherbccouerbfoibrwljbfljwrbflj

This went from a great, user friendly, and convenient app. Now, when I open a picture to annotate it or even draw on a blank page, the picture/page is cut off to the corner and will not move. I can't even edit anything! It also unexpectedly crashes. Now, whenever I have to draw, I have to go to Evernote, take a screenshot of a completely white screen, and choose the picture and click annotate. When Evernote first took over, Skitch was getting better. Now, it's a useless piece of junk taking up space on my device. If I could rate this 0 stars, I would! 😣😭😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤 This used to be such a great app! 😶

I thought it would be fun to use this app 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. Skitch 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!

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.

I love this app for its ease of use and variety of features. Though, I'm having a couple of issues that make Skitch more of a hassle.
I mainly use this app 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, Skitch is perfect. Once I see that these issues are fixed, I will rate this app five stars. Thank you!

Ever have a great app that just does one thing, but does it really well? And then a bigger company buys the make of that app and both sides gush about how this new arrangement is going to make Skitch even better? And then Skitch doesn’t get better because it’s shelved by the new owners who never had any intention of developing it or even supporting it, they just wanted to kill off a competitor... Like what happened to FrameMaker when Adobe bought it? Yeah, that’s happened with Stitch now too. I used to use Stitch all the time back in the day. Now Evernote have bought it and chained it outside to die. Screw you, Evernote!!

If you open a blank page to draw, the color and tool type icons are missing in landscape mode. They will appear again if you rotate to portrait and then back again. Tried notifying Evernote of the bug, but it's web site had a bug and wouldn't allow me to submit my bug report via Chrome on my iPad. Pretty tech and customer illiterate for a "tech" company. Other than that, the program is not intuitive. It has a lot of the key functions but the tools and interface are not well thought out. It should be intuitive and easy to use, which it unfortunately is not.

Every time I try to access features from a screenshot, Skitch 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 this app 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 this app from outside the screenshot menu!!!!! I have to save the screenshot first and then open it in this app, 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 Skitch was updated to match current iOS softwares, I’d consider using it. Until then, I can’t recommend it for any reason.

EverNote, who owns Skitch, has said two yrs ago that they have abandoned it. It is nice that they have left it in Skitch Store for those who still want it, rather than pulling it outright. But don’t expect bugs to be fixed. There are other apps that do this, that are actively supported. Annotable is a nice substitution. But I like the arrow style of this app a bit better. I wish EverNote would at least update this app with iPhone X screen size support... how much effort would that take really?

It more or less does what it says on the box, but since paying for the PDF IAP, it often fails. I like to print to PDF on my iPad, then mark it up with this app, but after tapping the this app action, it briefly pops up then clearly fails/crashes/whatever. I've had to settle for Markup instead.
I would also have appreciated better Pencil support like Notes; drawing is very slow to start, missing the first few strokes, and there's no real palm rejection. Notes does this almost perfectly, so I know it's possible

I'm a realtor and landscape designer and Skitch has come in handy while I'm out in the field. It allows me to take a photo and point things out to my client so we can communicate through text message or email. This method also works with my landscape contractor. So far, I love Skitch. I do wish we could have more font choices and be able to rotate the text, but maybe that's something they can work on.

by Allksjdhf

Lost Skitch and then found it again buried in the back app pages. I had forgotten how quickly and easily this slices through web and PDF annotation. I wish the tool kit didn’t need to get opened each time (like the desktop version) but paired with an Apple Pencil this makes markup easy.

I was devastated when I read on the Internet that this app is going away and no longer supported. I have recommended it to hundreds of people to download and utilize. Note to evernote if you want to discontinue it I would be glad to take over the development. I would give you a cut of the profit.

Please keep it around. Please!!!!

Virtually everyone that I know in the Clash of Clans community who is serious about clan wars uses this app to draw out their battle plans and attack strategies for review, enough that it has become a verb "go this app that plan". There are other software solutions, however this app 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 this app, and am hoping, considering the huge number of people playing Clash of Clans that they will reconsider.

this app 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.

by Acknikilus1

At this time I would like to echo the sentiments of my fellow this app users and ask that you please DO NOT discontinue Skitch. I apply the use of Skitch in many different ways on a daily basis for my job and I absolutely love it. Everything about this app is easy and intuitive to use, and I would recommend it to anyone who has a need for more efficiency in their lives. I definitely give it 5 stars.

by J Bunnell

This is a fantastic product. I used it a lot to make quick notes on images like screenshots. It's pretty simple but if you want to quickly show a developer, say, what is not working with a quick note..this is perfect. Also, if your dad can't figure out how to log in to Facebook, take a quick screenshot and circle the thing with a quick note.

by ZTLaidlaw

I absolutely love the this app extension. I relish being able to pop this app's powerful features onto any photo and save it back to my camera roll for sharing with the proper people. I can't count the many compliments I've received by recipients for simply adding annotations to informational images.

If the rumor that this app for iOS is being scrapped is true, PLEASE RECONSIDER! I don't want to have to try to find a subpar replacement. Thanks, Evernote team.

by Geofan49

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

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

:: my Prior review ::

Too many problems 😱 persisting perniciously

≡≡≡

I've been using this app 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, this app crashes in the middle of editing an image 😱😱😱 way too often , after making five or six annotations, Skitch 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 this app. However, I haven't yet found anything better for annotating images.

by Cnouellet

I use both the mobile app and the chrome browser extension. I would say this is Skitch 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!

I've used this app 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, this app 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. this app 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!

First, let me state: Skitch is glitchy. I get kicked out of it about 33% of the time I go into it. There are other reasons too that make it less than perfect. That being said: I absolutely love Skitch!! I haven't found any app that does what Skitch does. It's super simple to use and very intuitive. I use it at work ALL THE TIME. I use it for personal communications too. Amazing app. Despite its imperfections- it's one of my favorite and most used apps.
