## Review summary

Annotate is praised for simplicity and classroom-friendly markup on photos, but reliability and maintenance issues dominate: crashes when saving, inability to export to the camera roll, and compatibility problems on newer iPhones; plus a forced crop workflow and limited editing options.

### Pros

- Very easy to use and intuitive for quick markup on photos
- Educational/teacher-friendly tool for labeling, notes, and classroom activities
- Helpful for annotating on phones, including documenting and sharing reminders or notes
- Works on older iPhone models and a range of devices

### Cons

- Frequent crashes or freezes when saving/exporting annotated images; cannot save to camera roll
- App seems abandoned or not updated, with compatibility issues on newer devices (e.g., iPhone X)
- Cropping forces image to phone screen size with no option to annotate at original size
- Limited editing features (no undo/erase) and a small color palette
