## Snaplight Reviews in United States

### ***-- "when process large photo（phone taken）it will crash"
iPhone 6 Plus。
small one is OK。
-- ekse_x, 2019-09-21

### ****- "Needs to add mask colors"
I’ve been using this since the first version. A lot. My only pet peeve is the one grey/white. People have various vision issues. 
It would be more useful if the mask color could be varied lighter or darker depending on situation. Even black to redact. Even more useful is adding colors both to highlight visible text, say in yellow, and to the mask for contrast purposes. 

I find no other app that picks out text in a photo as easily. Now it’s a matter of what you do with it after selected.
-- 50 year customer, 2018-03-21

### *---- "Crashes every time"
When I first downloaded, this app was perfect! But soon after, it stopped working at all. The app will open, allow you to highlight but as soon as you try to save your pic, it crashes. 
I hope the app can be fixed. But until then, it’s useless.
-- rayann, 2017-12-23

### **--- "Crashing"
Before the last update, I LOVED this app! I would have given it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So many times I just wanted to highlight a small amount of text from within a lot of text and this worked perfectly!!! 

But now for some reason, every time I try to save what I have done, the app crashes and it doesn't save my work! I am running the latest iOS on my iPhone. I think it may need another update. I expect an app that I pay for to work :(
-- Newb78, 2017-06-06

### **--- "One trick pony for SCREENSHOTS only"
It highlights easily enough, although beginning the highlight drag inside an existing area will not work. Highlights can be removed sequentially only, so multiple areas can be removed but only if you lose the ones added after the one you wish to delete. This ONLY works on screenshot sized pics at this time.
-- designjb, 2017-03-29

### ***-- "Works for intended use"
I like the concept, but I think users were expecting to use this app in a way the author hadn't intended. I'm one of those people - I wanted to upload a pic from my phone and highlight it, but this isn't possible yet. Well, it's "possible" but not functional unless the pic you're updating is the exact dimensions of your phone, otherwise it will be cropped. This app works fine if you take a photo of a page in a book or take a screenshot from iBooks/Kindle app (but then the words are entirely to small to highlight well), but for now you cannot highlight memes or inspiration quotes or any other pic that isn't of iPhone photo dimensions.

- It's not clear that the crop button also functions as an undo button - I only discovered that by accident

- The height lock is actually really clever for highlighting multiple lines of a book, but I would have never guessed by the button symbol that that was its function 

- App description says cropping and zooming is coming to the app, so I'll keep this on my phone for now
-- howDT, 2017-03-28

### *---- "1 star, only because I could give less"
What a piece of crap. The App Store should not eve allow this to remain for sale AND SHOULD REFUND MY MONEY.
-- Ranwthai, 2017-03-14

### *---- "Terrible"
Can't even zoom in or out, so you're left to highlight whatever it chooses to show you in the app. Don't waste your money.
-- ConceptZero, 2017-02-23

### **--- "Not very useful"
Forget the people that like this app. They are just spaghetti sauce. It crops. But very clumsy design. Deleting.
-- Smiledaydream, 2016-11-24

### *---- "Waste of 99 cents"
This looks like a school project. Can't highlight near image edges, no way to zoom/move image, lack colors, can't resize selections, etc.
