This is an interesting little app that lets you annotate photos and share them to your social networks. The photo annotation value proposition is really just a feature ripped out of Snapchat, sans the ephemerality, plus the ability to share to a wider network.

But I’m glad Cliptext’s creator, Don Prudence Okoilu, has stopped trying to create another Instagram with a funny name. That was never going to fly. “Cliptext” is not the best name for an image annotation app, but once you get past that, it is simple enough to have a chance. Prudence tells us it’s been installed 5000 times.

I don’t have an Android device to hand, but the screenshots show that it should be simple enough to use. The app comes with all the stuff that the selfie-making, text-speaking generation need to get through life. You get 70 characters of text maximum. Choose your font. Choose colours. Add emoji as desired. When you’re done annotating your image, unleash it on the world.

Cliptext is currently available for just Android devices via the Google Play store. There are plans to release to iOS and Windows Phone.
