This app is the reason I'm saying thank you it's great. There's one criticism that you have for you. Do you know how many times you said the word "umm" I lost. Count cause it was very distracting. Other than that I love it and find this app very useful a must have for any phone..

PRAY ....ADD THE OPTION OF RELOCATE THE INITIAL POINT....In the present scheme you must undo and go again through several attempts to set the initial point of a line on a desired screen's spot ( highly critical because finger is nor a most precise instrument neither transparent so hides the aimed spot, you need to be lucky ....As a fair example try ''measure and sketch'' app. You said you are too busy with other apps....If you neglect this one, what could be expected from those others that keep you so busy??

Pretty amazing but needs to integrate with gallery instead of just saving to an isolated directory .. Then 5 stars for sure. Text is extreme coolness but a bit tricky to learn. Beats the box.

I am looking for a writing tool like s memo in Note 5. Tried this, but when I got the app I couldn't get out.

U70%
by U####:

It's nice, but it would be much better if you could set the width of the pencil and the eraser independently, because you can either have a pencil that is too wide, an eraser that is too narrow, or make the adjustment every time you switch from one to the other, which is way too cumbersome.

This app is outstanding, I've been looking for this kind of app for a long time and I've finally found one, everything works perfectly no problems at all. UPDATE! - After the last update it keeps randomly closing down after around a minute of using it. because of this my review dropped to 4* instead of 5* will go back up to 5 when its fixed.

C70%
by C####:

After last update... App is very confusing to use. Also when changed to landscape it practically became useless. Was trying to close the app in landscape mode and instead fill the whole screen with red. Couldn't even disable the app or restart the phone except forced restart. Preferred the previous version.

Not impressed i have just effectively bricked my nexus in three clicks, I used the fill tool which has filled the entire screen, and the tool bar has disappeared so now I can't see anything. Try testing your bloody software before releasing to the public!

I have been endlessly searching for an app exactly like this for days, weeks! So glad that I have finally found it! It is wonderful, just great, comes in handy, and works perfectly. Thank you Jez3 Apps! P.S. Be nice if a highlighter option was added and if we could move the icon, I keep hitting it when typing. :)

Before thinking of including the full screenshot functionality, this app REALLY needs an UNDO (last and previous draw functions) button and to remove the app onscreen ui while drawing. Yesterday, I kept hitting the save btn while trying to draw a line... As it is, it is only useful to add quick comments on a screen..but don't do mistakes cuz you have to start all over again...no very convenient... Still has lots of crash messages in the logcats.... Oromising, but really not quite there yet...

It's fun! and useful! Just needs a transparency option and it'd be perfect!

Everything stopped working when I launched the app, the only thing I could do was to turn off my phone by long-pressing the power button..

Gr8 idea but needs possible improvements. Text is not working. Fix it..! Also a Settings tab with Font-Style & Size & help options must be added to make this app PERFECT..!

N70%
by N####:

I can foresee how this app could be pretty useful. However, I'm having a bit of an issue.. I think it's a bug so I hope you can fix it. Most of the time, when I draw on the screen, the drawing doesn't show up, until I click one of the menu buttons again (eg. The pen or colour buttons), then it appears. At times, the drawing does appear as I draw, but once I change the colour or pen mode, the same problem occurs. Update: thanks for your response :)

I had to look for previous version of this app all over the internets, because this update brings a lot of features, but all of them made poorly. Icons all over the UI are low-res and less classy than previous, translucent and simple ones. Persistent notifications duplicate and spam my notification bar, my screenshots look overloaded with a bit ugly drawing stuff, while previous small icon in the left bottom corner looked just great. I can't see any reasons to break so many things.

I wish there was an undo/redo button. Not really for avid web/graphic designers like myself but handy to have. Should act more like an SVG editor as it'd be easier to use and fix mistakes. Nice work! StandOut is amazing isn't it? Makes making floating apps a whole lot easier.

Since I'm using this app to make notes on my phone, there's one big problem... I made a note last night, woke up, and it was no longer on screen. I'm pretty sure my phone killed the app (no, I don't have any task killers) after a certain amount of time. EDIT: i now use the pro version. And to address the person who said this app 'bricked' his phone... are you a retard? That's IMPOSSIBLE. You obviously don't know what bricking your phone actually is. Stop acting like you know more than you do.

Works magnificently on galaxy note, with a penabled stylus no need for screen cap then annotate. Can now annotate from whatever app I please. Love the fact that saving doesn't save the 'bottom' screen and so leaves me a plain memo but with stylus I can choose to save as a screen grab.

stopped properly working after the latest update, do not use with google nexus 10 with 4.3 professional version is very annoying: if you turn it on there is noway to turn if off (you have to turn off the phone to close it!), and every tome you touch the screen the panel disappears but when you take a pen off the screen the panel is back, is the panel keeps flicking on and off - very annoying, it should be always off (or at least setting should give the choice how it should work)

WARNING !!! Use with CAUTION -- especially when choosing colors BECAUSE you won't see the app's buttons AND it will be tricky to get out of the application itself. I already emailed and waiting for the developer(s) response.
