Skitch for Geographers

Skitch for Geographers

Skitch is an app available across all platforms which enables users to capture an image (screenshot or camera) and then annotate it in various ways. The resulting image is synchronised with an Evernote account, which means it can be accessed from other machines. A range of annotations are possible, and this would make it a useful app for geography fieldwork.
