Annotate your photos with Skitch for Android, iOS
It has been a busy few days for Evernote recently. Less than a week ago the company acquired the Mac application Skitch, and this was quickly followed by a big update to the Evernote iOS app. Just as the main Evernote notetaking app is available on a range of platforms, so Skitch is available not only for Mac but also for Android, making it possible to add annotations and doodles to the photos you take.
Skitch enables you to use a number of text and drawing tools to add information to photographs you have taken. This could take the form of useful notes about a snap you took on holiday, such as the name of a restaurant or attraction you liked, or it could be notes to help someone else understand what is visible in an image.
Of course, the app can also be used for less serious pursuits and the ability to upload doodles to Facebook and Twitter means that countless images of moustachioed and bespectacled relatives are sure to be found online.
Evernote has also released an update to its iOS software. An app x.1 upgrade is not normally something to get too excited about, but the introduction of Evernote 4.1.0 has quite a lot in store. iPad users in particular get a good deal -- a new three-finger gesture can be used to navigate between notes, and an overhauled interface makes things not only better looking than ever, but also somewhat easier to use.
It is now possible to select multiple notes for deleting or sharing, and both iPhone and iPad versions of the app include the option of searching within notes. Also new is the ability to add rich text lists, links and style to notes and support for shared notebooks means that the iOS version of the app is now far more useful when it comes to collaborative work.
