Screenshot Pro is a manager for all the screenshot­s you take on your iPhone or iPad, allowing you to keep them completely separate from the photos in Photos, if you choose.

Screenshot Pro’s most interestin­g feature is its ability to extract the text (Latin script–based languages only) from screenshot­s and store it in a notes field, ready to be copied and pasted into another app.

It also allows you to tag screenshot­s and then organize them by tag, rename them, favorite them, add notes of your own, and search screenshot­s based on tags, names, and notes. There’s also a Smart Tags tool that adds screenshot­s to a folder automatica­lly if they meet certain conditions you set, such as having specific text in the image or being taken on a certain date.

When you first launch Screenshot Pro, it imports all the screenshot­s from the Photos app. You can then choose to delete them from Photos, and have Screenshot­s Pro delete new screenshot­s automatica­lly after importing. All screenshot­s in the app are stored on your device, not in the cloud, so there’s also a useful feature to allow you to reduce their size so they take up less space. And you can also lock your screenshot­s so that viewing them requires a code.

THE BOTTOM LINE. A handy management tool for anyone who takes lots of screenshot­s on their device and struggles to keep them organized.

EXCELLENT
