Evernote has acquired the interesting Mac app ‘Skitch’ and apart from making the app absolutely Free for Mac, evernote has also launched Free Skitch app for Android. Skitch for Android is a fun, amazing and a great app that allows users to take snapshots, annotate images, make sketches, and share them easily directly from their mobile.

Skitch is a perfect app to easily and quickly take a snapshot of something or open a saved image to add some cool and meaningful stuff to it. The app has a very simple and nice user interface with a variety of essential features and settings to customize the photo as desired without requiring any technical knowledge. This is just the first version of Skitch for Android which would be improved and enhanced later in future.

Skitch home screen offers 3 options: take a snapshot, load an image from your gallery or start with a blank canvas.
