Evernote has released a significant update for both the Mac and iOS versions of Skitch – a popular image annotation app which they purchased late last year. The update adds a number of new features, including support for PDF annotation, and a new Stamps feature, allowing users to add one-word reactions to images and notes, such as “Yes!,” “No!,” and “Tell me more”.
The Stamps feature is shown above, and in addition to several preset stamps, you can also customize a stamp to say anything your heart desires. As for the PDF annotation, it’s worth noting that the feature is currently only available to subscribers to Evernote’s Premium service, although all Evernote users will receive 30 days of PDF annotation access for free.
