Help to find a simple app that is very helpful. - eviltoast

Hi I had an App previously, that was just called Write for simple note taking, where you could take a picture, and make simple edits, like using a simulated marker to highlight.
I used it for the very simple task, of taking a picture of our shopping list, and then striking things I’ve purchased, which IMO can be very helpful when you have big shoppinglists, which we tend to have.😋
In principle the standard photo edit on my phone can do it, but it’s not very good at it, because it’s clumsy to resize and navigate the list.
Obviously I prefer an app that is free and without advertising.
Maybe others will find this helpful too?

      I installed and tried it. And if it can, it has to be just about the least intuitive program to use, yes I can take a photo, but selecting a color does nada to draw on it, selecting drawing opens an empty drawing instead of allowing painting on the photo. And I see no option for transparency?

      Edit: Weird, after closing it, and opening it again, a brush appeared at the top, which when selected can draw and change to transparency, IDK what exactly happened, but yes it is apparently possible.

        nice, glad you got it.

        Alternatively, you could use the text copy feature from google photos, and select the text from it, paste it into Keep as a list, and have it all digital.

          Haha I didn’t know it could do that, wow that’s cool. 👍 😀
          I’m not sure how well it works for handwritten though. We have a list in the kitchen we all add items to we need (in danish), but we just arrived home, and haven’t really added anything yet for me to try on. Still even if it can’t do that, that’s a very cool feature.
          I wonder how many things modern phones can do, that I’m unaware of? 👍 😀
