I have Skitch on all of my devices and use it all the time. It’s perfect for taking screenshots of areas and calling out certain areas on websites. 
 
This is excellent if I’m looking to talk about a particular section on a site that’s difficult to explain in writing alone. As an internet marketer, I use it all the time to show people commentary on sites. I also use it a lot in email correspondence. 
 
For example, if I'm training someone up I’ll often show them annotated screenshots for them to follow along to. 
 
The video above is demonstrating the use of Skitch. It’s completely free to download and use although the amount of data that you’re able to upload to the cloud is limited. However, I use it all the time and have not yet come close to the limit. 
 
And this is even with huge blog posts with tons of screenshots on it. So you should be ok with using the free version.
 
The software has the ability to produce a variety of different screen shots. The most common screenshot that I use personally is called the screen snap.
 
I simply take a screen snap and then add arrows to the areas of interest, as this gives a better insight to the areas highlighted.
 
To add a more personalised touch you can change the colours of the arrows or how big the lines around the boxes are. 
 
One of the greatest benefits of this app is when sharing screenshots of Amazon earnings. There is often sensitive areas on those pages that I don’t want other people to see. 
 
This is when the pixel button comes into play. You can highlight areas on the page and completely blur it out. 
 
Another feature of this tool is a time screen snap. A lot of times this will be done for a drop down menu. If you’re creating a screenshot, and you’re hovering a cursor over the menu for the drop down you’re not able to do the screen snap. 
 
To do this, you need to do a timed screen snap. You simply set an area you want to have an image of and open up the menus. The timer will count down and take a picture of the area. 
 
If you’re looking to do screen shots and teardowns, then Skitch is a great way to up your game.
