14 DAY TRIAL // Instapaper developer Marco Arment is full of great ideas. His latest brainchild is Bugshot, this neat little app that allows you to make visual annotations of the graphical bugs you find in various apps.
Bugshot sells for just a buck (€0.89) and enables you to draw orange arrows and boxes on screenshots, then share them.
The tool is great “for reporting bugs, web layout issues, article typos, and other visual issues to whoever’s responsible (even if it’s you),” says Arment.
The annotated screenshots go Camera Roll, but they can also be emailed, sent in Messages, copied to the clipboard, posted to Twitter and Facebook, etc.
The app came about when Arment started getting flooded with bug reports from iOS 7 testers. “Whenever I see a bug in an app (usually one of mine), I take a screenshot, intending to deal with it later. But often, when I look back, I can’t remember why I took a particular screenshot,” he says, explaining the purpose of the app.
Bugshot’s icon is actually one of those bugs, he says. Go ahead and read through his full blog entry, or download the new app at the link below.
