"I’ve finally found the best all-in-one image annotation tool for iOS – Annotable for iPhone and iPad." —— Federico Viticci of MacStories
Features(many are free, some are unlocked with purchases, see Setting > Help > README > In-App Purchases):
◉ All the expected common tools: rectangles, ovals, arrows, lines, and texts.
◉ Fully customizable: 8 colors, 5 sizes, 3 outlines.
◉ Stylishly obscure private information with Blur and 3 styles × 5 granularities of Pixelations.
◉ Or on the contrary, highlight something with Spotlights.
◉ If you really want to focus on a particular spot use a Loupe.
◉ You can even mark text on screenshots of apps like Notes, Twitter, and Safari. It feels like magic, and can really save the day when you want to share a web page screenshot with some words highlighted but forgot to select the words when you took the screenshot.
◉ Fully support Action Extension, Photo Editing Extension, Edits Sync via iCloud Photo Library, URL Schemes, 3D Touch…Annotable utilizes your powerful iOS system to the extreme.
Distinctions from many other similar Apps:
◆ All the results are high-resolution images.
◆ Not only screenshots but all images are supported.
◆ Large images can be directly annotated and do not have to be cropped.

Says it’s free then charges you for every adjective of the app. Just be upfront and don’t wast our time.
wish i had this the last two years

It’s so useful and easy-to-use. This is the most important field tool alongside my tape measure and laser measure.
Almost there

This is a pretty great tool. I wish that they would allow us to add our own set of stickers. The deli pricing is a good idea but I was about to buy all features. Not at $9.99 though. I’ll wait and see if they lower the price for the total.
Great feature set but toolbox needswork.

Great app for annotating screenshots and photos for sharing information with others. Wish there was a way to have a custom toolbar rather than having all tools constantly condense into one icon. Those of us on iPads would appreciate the ability to have everything at our fingertips without having to dumpster dive into an icon constantly for every single tool.
I definitely prefer this to any other app like it.. even the Markup built in

I don’t remember how I ran across this app, but I definitely prefer it to all other similar apps. It’s far superior to the native Apple “markup” feature. I’m having some issues, but I’m going to email support and hopefully they will get it fixed. I’ve tried every app like this that I’m aware of and I would definitely recommend this 100%. There are so many more features than other apps, and with iOS 13, I’m able to access it more easily. I’ve had the app for several years, but haven’t used it as much as I’d like because I couldn’t access it directly from my photos. Now I can and I couldn’t be happier!
The best of the best

This app is amazing and very useful for markup on photos. Just need one addition is a simple line As we have but comes with points on edges God job and keep it up Regards

This app glitches out constantly. It also doesn’t tell you that you’re using paid features until you try to save something.
Bug in mine: “$” character covers text
TK St Petersburg
When I add text there’s a black dollar sign covering the middle of the text string. Clicked on the support link and the posts are years old. It’s useful for adding lines and arrows but not text.
Great App for Marking Up Images with Text, Arrows, and other Types of Annotations

This is one of the best apps for marking up images on the AppStore currently. A close second would be iMark. The one thing that iMark has over Annotable is ability to control the arrangement of your elements by adjusting which layer they’re on. If Annotable has this feature then it wasn’t readily apparent to me. That being said, Annotable also doesn’t watermark the images I export and that makes it a clear winner for me. I markup images for tutorials, explanations, and case studies. Annotable makes this very convenient, useful, and easy for me to do on the go when I don’t have time to pull out my MacBook and launch Monosnap or Photoshop. Annotable extends the markup functionality of our native iOS devices immensely. With native iOS you’re able to annotate images with a few basic things like speech bubbles, circles, squares, arrows, lines, magnifiers and text but with Annotable you can markup images with: • Arrows • Squares/Rectangles • Circles/Ovals • Text • Lines (straight & freehand) • Magnifiers • Highlighters (text & freehand) • Spotlights • Blurs (shapes & freehand) • Redactions • Cropping With many of these features you can change the colors of your annotations. ?Tip: When viewing your color options, scroll horizontally to the right. You’ll see a cogwheel — you can set default color choices for your shapes there. This wasn’t intuitive to find at first and I only discovered it after actively looking for it. Additionally, most of the features have a few styles you can choose from as well. Things like: • Feature with no outline • Feature with slight outline • Feature with container color fill (e.g. text box) • Feature container outline (no color fill) ↑ These descriptions may not make sense. Check the app out for yourself, you’ll see what I mean. All in all, great app!
