Annotate - Text, Emoji, Stickers and Shapes on Photos and Screenshots Reviews

Knee-deep into my annotating work and I'm anxiously anticipating an in-app purchase that I'm REQUIRED to make and nothing pops up. Five-stars just for that experience: I used all the tools and did what I had originally wanted to get done. I ended up acccomplishing the goal that was the first reason I looked for an annotating app. I'm veryy happy. Thank you. **Possible bug (or just a non-feature): I wasn't able to see an alert that lets me know my image is saved after saving it. With that being said, my image was successfully saved to my camera roll each time I tried.

This is quite simple to use, and has all the drawing, arrow, text and stickers functions. Quite sufficient. The only 2 issues is that if I choose drawing with my fingers, it is almost impossible to get draw a dot like the little dot of the exclamation point “!” or the dot for the letter “j” for example, since dotting will bring up the delete/eraser function. And also I wish I can call up the tools not just from my photo albums - it will be great if I can use on anything that I pull up on the screen, whether it is a rich text doc or pdf or notes in my contacts or a web site page I am viewing ....that will be super ...

I used Annotate for work on an iPhone 6 and it worked beautifully. Snap a pic and instantly this app. But now that I’ve upgraded to iPhone 8 there is no way to allow camera access, so it will only pull from library. May sound like a minor glitch but without the ability to instantly edit pics, critical time is waisted. Please review and provide way to access camera for newer devices. Note, same issue for iPhone X.

This is a great app and is just what I was looking for! Beautifully designed, simple to use, fast and convenient to have. I just wish that you could draw rectangles, circles & ovals. Also, it would be great to be able to drop in bullets with numbers. I hope you consider these features in future updates. Thank you and keep up the great work!

As others have stated, there is no longer a way to save annotations to camera roll. The only solution I have found is to copy and paste my annotations somewhere else, such as in a text message to myself, and then save the photo to my camera roll from the text message.

Annotate hasn’t been updated in 3 years. My guess is that the developers abandoned Annotate . Will be looking for a more user friendly app and a developer who strives to keep their app updated.

I often need to send people a photo or screenshot with an item circled and some comment about it.

Annotate makes it easy to do and usually in less than a minute or two I've got a finished photo I can email or message to someone.

And there are NO annoying pop ups or ads or prompts to buy... anything!

I loved Annotate! It was great to be able to this app from my phone. I loved leaving little reminders for myself too! I would use this when reviewing articles or long stories, maybe even specific directions!

I am inventorying items around the house and this makes it easy to catalog details without a cumbersome cross reference system. It took five to ten minutes to figure out how to save things, what it means to copy, and where the copies go. Well worth the time and you can't beat the price!

For documentary research, this has made the process much easier to snap pix and then add immediate notes, saving me a lot of time matching separate written notes to photos I take, or forgetting to add a note to a pic altogether. For some functions, such as saving the image, I think they could reduce the number of taps required, which is why 4 vs 5 stars.

This is a great tool to mark up work and use it in your classroom. You can easily screen shot student work and label model qualities to share with the class. This is also great for labeling parts for a social studies or a science exam easily!!

I've only had it for an hour an already sent out 7 marked up pics. It's pretty straight forward and does what it says it will. Easy of use and UI is solid. Only grain of salt is I have only been using it for an hour. But it's off to a good start

I needed an app to this app screenshots for a mini-tutorial and after quick search found this gem. This thing is so intuitive and easy to use; I highly recommend. I was able to finish my project in less than 5 min! Wow...

Decent app , simple to use, only complaint is the emoji's are not useful ones. Would have liked to see a few professional ones to highlight photos as Annotate is useful for the service industry.

It's amazing to think there are so few annotation apps on Annotate Store!
Most are either outdated apps that require iOS 5 and have that ugly skeumorphic design, or they are apps for annotating PDF instead of photos.

Annotate is not only a modern annotations app for photos, but even throws in tools like the mosaic feature and Annotate is simple to use! 😀

Only suggestion so far is if you could use the color red and maybe some others too instead of the few colors that come with it, there isn't even orange or purple either! 😂

Nicely designed and does photo annotation quickly and easily. I am using it to mark up charts that I screen shoot on my iPhone. Have not figured out all its capabilities yet, but am pleased that it really does what it claims.

Powerful, easy-to-use, and reliable app. Does exactly what it says in the description and does it really really well.

What really sold me was support for extensions which makes it easy to use this app right from the Photos (or any other) app.

I have to give it 5 stars because a) no purchase required and b) no watermark. It has all the basic tools you'd need. I'd like to see some more options (more colors, more font faces), but it's so easy to use and 100% free. Thank you

This is going to be my go to app to mark up pictures and screenshots. Extremely simple to use, but still it has all the necessary tools.

Let's you this app or draw on pics very quickly simply, and send them right out, without all the spam and unreliable coding of many other picture editing apps.

I’m not very techy and I figured it out in a second! Great for adding arrows to point out s specific area of a photo, draw freehand, use text and so much more! My only question, How did I live without this?
