Easy to use screenshot and annotation tool!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Evernote Skitch literally every single day and it is incredibly easy to use. As a product manager, I am constantly taking screenshots throughout the day to share with members of my team, to save for myself, to add to presentations etc. I use it for taking screenshots of our own product, of things I see that I want to remember later, and of things that help provide context to others. I have introduced several co-workers across departments to Skitch who have now adopted it.

Pros

  • Very simple screen capture with a variety of options.
  • Easy editing of screenshots with text, shapes, arrows, etc.
  • Taking timed screenshots, which allows you to grab a screen where some action is needed to reveal a particular screen.
  • Blurring of portions of a screenshot to hide sensitive or irrelevant information.

Cons

  • Saving/exporting screenshots could be easier and more intuitive.
  • It would be nice to have more advanced editing capabilities and options.

Most Important Features
