Pinpoint is a simple, fun way to mark up screenshots and send them to anyone. It's a free app for iPhone and iPad that shows all the screenshots on a device and gives you the tools (arrows, boxes, text, and blur) to mark them up quickly and easily.

I’ve been using Pinpoint for weeks, and the folks at Lickability knocked the app out of the park. I highly recommend the app to any and all of our readers. In the past week, I’ve used Pinpoint to help my family navigate to the building I was graduating in and also to mark up some artwork corrections for an upcoming label project.

We’re super excited to announce our newest app, Pinpoint, is available now for free on the App Store!

Get it while it’s hot.

You take screenshots. But sometimes you need to mark them up a bit before sharing them with your friends (or enemies). You know: point stuff out, blur out your business, jot down thoughts. Pinpoint’s got you covered.

With Pinpoint you can:

• See all the screenshots you’ve ever taken • Draw arrows and boxes to pinpoint the important parts or the stuff that’s weird • Write text to explain what you’re thinking • Blur out your sensitive info to keep it from prying eyes • Share your finished screenshot masterpiece with literally anyone • Ditch the original screenshot so it’s not clogging up your photo library • Get new colors so that you’re cooler than your friends

My friend Brian Capps went indie from The Times a few months ago to focus on his development company, Lickability. I was very excited when Brian told me that the company had inherited Bugshot from Marco Arment and I’ve been looking forward to the app’s launch. It’s here. With Pinpoint you can:

See all the screenshots you’ve ever taken

Draw arrows and boxes to pinpoint the important parts or the stuff that’s weird

Write text to explain what you’re thinking

Blur out your sensitive info to keep it from prying eyes

Share your finished screenshot masterpiece with literally anyone

Ditch the original screenshot so it’s not clogging up your photo library

Get new colors so that you’re cooler than your friends

My friend Brian Capps was the Lead iOS Engineer for The New York Times up until last month when he put in his two weeks to go full time with Lickability, his app company. I’m proud of and excited for Brian, who’s leaving a pretty impressive and solid gig for one with broader, yet scarier, horizons. The quote below from Brian stuck out to me:

Six months. That’s how long we’ve given ourselves to make this work. Like with any business, it’s important to determine how to become profitable over a period of time. So, paying me a full-time salary, we’re going to be profitable in six months or I’m going to start looking for a new gig. As much as we’re idealists who would love to toil away on perfecting products, we understand the realities of starting a small business in a volatile industry. I’m confident that we’re going to meet and exceed our goal, but it’s necessary to have a realistic and well-defined metric for success, and profitability within six months is ours.

Earlier this week, we released the third major version of Quotebook. Here’s what the press had to say:

iMore

We all have our favorite quotes, and the newly overhauled Quotebook app aims to help us store and organize them all. The app, with the kind of clean design we expect from Lickability, makes it easy to keep all of your favorite quotes in one place, with ratings, sources, tagging, and more.

MacStories

Quotebook, developed by the folks at Lickability, has long been my favorite app to save and archive quotes and passages on the iPhone and iPad. 

Minimal Mac

Hopefully, this will help you see why I love the app so much and it has been on my home screen since the day it was released. The new version is certainly worth your time checking out.

Beautiful Pixels

I can’t believe the update is free because of how much has been added, let alone the brand new interface and the fact that it is universal. Quotebook is available on the App Store for $4.99 and is a free update for existing owners.

Tools and Toys

With today’s update, this universal app is better than ever. You can now add images and descriptions to your authors and sources, import quotes from Tumblr and Facebook, and share your quotes to apps like Tweetbot and Day One.

Quotebook 3 by the handsome young men at Likability is not messy or boring. Some of the best apps on iOS are ones that do very specific things. Quotebook is in that class.

Developers say many things in press releases, however on this point from Lickability I most certainly concur: Lickability has been and will always be concerned with all the small details that make apps great.

The third major release of Quotebook is called Quotebook 3.

Not Quotebook 3.0. Not Quotebook 3.0.0.0.0. Not Quotebook 17.43.0. Quotebook 3.

It’s finally here.

After months of hard work redesigning and rewriting every screen in the app, we’re excited to share Quotebook 3 with you.

This update lets you add images and descriptions to your authors and sources, import quotes from your Facebook profile and Tumblr blog, and share your quotes to even more places. But more than that, it’s been carefully designed and engineered for readability and reliability.

Quotebook 3 is a free update for existing customers and it’s available today on the App Store in 4 new languages.
