Snaplight - Photo Highlighter App Reviews

Great idea for an app. Terrible execution. There has to be a way to easily readjust your selection. Currently you cant modify what you highlight. Your only option is to delete it and do it over, which is tedious and unnecessary. The camera function doesnt work properly either. Using it and framing something is pointless as it resizes it when you try to highlight. Theres no way to hide the controls which usually get in the way of what youre trying to highlight as well. Please fix these issues. You have a great simple concept here, but all the issues listed above make it unusable.

If your photo doesnt fit the size of your screen perfectly you cant see all edges. I work with square images a lot and this app would be perfect if I could zoom out and see the whole picture.

No zooming in or out, no scrolling, no help or instruction. Overall, not a very friendly app, very limited

Its basically unusable. Before when it used to work, I wouldve given it 4 stars. The buttons arent extremely intuitive, but it worked (past tense) well for its purpose. Now and for the past few months, each time I select a photo from my Camera Roll, its zoomed-in so far only approx. 15% of the photo is visible. Theres no way to zoom-out, and thus, its unusable. I liked it, but now Im deleting it.

A recipe. A quote. An address. This sort of thing. This works really well to just highlight the bit I need. To cover multiple lines you simply overlap the highlighted box with another and they combine until youve covered what you need. It makes it easy to show someone what you saw on a page without being as elaborate as Skitch. Just a quick: This is what I saw. One wonders about the level of bile in other reviews. I will use it often because I clip often. I use the Reader View to get rid of much clutter, but this focuses the item so the receiver doesnt have to guess.

It doesnt do anything of value. Dont waist your time.

This is the app I have downloaded, tried it out and deleted off my iPhone the fastest... In trying to figure out an alternate purpose as for what it does makes it worthless downloading it, I realized It could be used as gotcha for friends and family! You know when you want to make a quick joke and have someone go through the hassle of spelling the apps name to find it, then downloading the app, to only come to the realization it is sooooo bad the first impulse is to want to delete it... But then on a second thought, the joke would be just as bad as the app. Conclusion: Dont waste your time on this pile of junk Other than that, I would be very angry if I would have paid 1cent for the app.

Bad idea, poorly executed. Pass.

I could not use this app with screenshots on my phone. I wonder if its because those are png instead of jpg files. This app applies a dark filter on top of an image. You can then draw a narrow rectangle over it. If you are trying to do a taller section, you might need to do multiple passes over the top, middle and bottom. Thankfully there is an undo because you cant resize these rectangles. Well...there it is.

I can share my pictures! And I can highlight text! Thats it!

I looked one day and it was downloading! How much was this?!

I like the idea of being to highlight whatever you want but. This app is horrible. It only gives 4 options. Highlight. Camera. Camera roll. Share. Well, its not so easy to highlight and you cant change the size of your highlight or move it. So if you mess up, you have to undo until you get it right. And it doesnt technically "highlight" it. You basically darken your image and "draw" a white box on what you want highlighted. Not worth using it. You can "highlight" your text by blurring the background in other photo editing apps.

I read through some of the positive ratings and thought: why would you take a picture of a page then highlight it with this app then post it? Why dont you just type the quote? Seems ridiculous to me

Good thing I got this free. I prefer not to have my devices cluttered with useless apps. I do see potential here. If it worked with powerful apps like Evernote, I would consider keeping it.

It does nothing !

I dont see what the point of this app is. Ive never needed to highlight something in a photo.

Why does this even exist?

Do this basically crops a photo? And why do I need this app to do that? Short answer is that I dont.

got it for free from Starbucks but its just clutter? dont get it.

For all the meatballs that dont understand this app or think its worthless, youre meatballs! When I used to post on IG, often times Id be reading a book and find a awesome lines Id want to share. Id try to take a picture of the books page, but no one is going to read an entire page of a book via IG. This wouldve been incredibly useful in that I couldve highlighted the rad quote so people could know exactly what to look for and the intentions of what and why I wanted to share. Anyways, if I get back to posting on IG, Ill definitely make use of this app. Thumbs up!
