"Give a personal touch to your photos"

Reviewed by: Emmanuel Lund / Feb 08, 2013

Skitch lets you write and draw on your pictures

Sometimes photos are too sober and what they need is a personal touch. Here you are Skitch, an app that lets you draw and write whatever you want in your pictures.

You can take a picture from the app or choose one from the gallery. After that, use you imagination to make original creations. From the "editor" menu you can choose color, pen and its stroke, insert text or draw a frame. You can undo, upload it to Evernote or share it by other means.

The app is quite simple but works properly. Actually its simplicity is its plus point: it's meant to do only that stuff, if you want something professional this is not your app. Screentouch response is great as well as the quality of the drawings. Evernote's team reliability. Recomended.

Developer's original description available here
Make a point with Skitch.

Skitch is a free app that helps you communicate visually with friends, co-workers, and the world. Annotate images with arrows, shapes, text, and more. Use Skitch to sketch something new, mark up maps, screen captures, or even a photo. Then save or share your Skitch annotation to help others see and understand your ideas. Getting everyone on the same page has never been easier.

Features that make Skitch great:

- Create smooth lines and scribbles to explain an idea
- Annotate maps, webpages and screenshots
- Zoom and crop images
- Pixelate portions of an image, add highlights and draw attention to what matters
- Add text using special high-contrast coloring for readability
- Markup text with the highlighter tool
- Reposition and delete shapes, text and drawings at any time
- Share your work with any application that accepts images

Here are some ways to use Skitch:

- At work: Communicate a design change by annotating a screenshot
- At home: Annotate a photo of your living room to show movers where to put furniture
- At a conference: take a snapshot of people you meet, annotate it with their names
- For personal information: Take a photo of a bill, then pixelate personal details before sharing
- For directions: Draw a path on a map to help someone find your picnic spot

Please note: In order to take advantage of Evernote syncing you must have Evernote installed on your phone and have an active account.

Skitch is fast and fun!

    Just plain amazing to use on my galaxy note. Any thoughts I couldn't put in text just became so much easier to store.

    I love this application. Very simple and easy to use. Especially I like Maps annotations. The notes can then be shared via email or other programs directly, without going via Evernote. This is especially useful considering their tiny current limit of 60 M
