I used to be a huge fan of Snap-n-Drag, but it looks like it won't implement cloud sync (at least that's the last I head from the developer). Sometimes, users want to capture a hidden menu: you start a screenshot timer, and then open the menu, and when the timer is at zero, take a snap of the open (or selected) menu/area.ģ) Bump up the resolution (or let users choose) - on a Retina display, the fonts in the screen shot look a bit fuzzy. (SnappyApp syncs through iCloud Annotate puts its folder into the Apps folder on Dropbox, but Monosnap lets me choose any folder to save images to - much more convenient).Ģ) Implement a timer function. There are a couple of things I’d love to see before I commit to it:ġ) Give me the option to save to a folder of my choice or set a default folder of my choice on Dropbox and/or implement iCloud sync.

At this price point, I'd like to see some more features implemented before I actually buy (and not just try): I like the look of Annotate. Screenshot apps seem to be a 'in' of late - SnappyApp, QuickShot, now Annotate.

However, if you want a nice, quick, reliable screenshot and annotation app, check it out - at $1.99 it's a steal but at this point, I would even pay $4.99 for it (having the option to keep multiple snaps open at a time alone is worth it for me). Their goal seems to be to keep things simple so as not to overwhelm 'nonpower' users - so if you want a ton of customization options, you are not the target audience. The developer is very responsive, if contacted, and open to suggestions. does not have a Timer feature (although the developer is working on it, I believe) won't let you specify a custom default Save folder under Preferences (but will remember your last Save location in the app) won't let you customize the file name (default is eye-mm-dd at hh.mm)

won't grab the title of the window you snap (unlike Monosnap when I have to take many shots in a row, I keep going back to Monosnap so files in my designated Screenshot folder are not just an endless list of files named by date and time, but categorized by window/app snapped) records time-limited GIF movies for quick demos won't shrink quality/resolution of snaps on Retina systems (an option under Preferences) allows you to keep multiple screenshot windows open (love it) provides the necessary (basic) options for sharing your snaps (Dropbox, email, Twitter, Facebook, and Message I mostly save to Dropbox or share via Message and email) has all the tools you need to mark up a screenshot if required (incl. Annotate is so much easier on the eyes and it provides everything I need in my workflow. I've been using Annotate and Monosnap side by side for about two weeks now.
