Tailor - Screenshot Stitching

Tailor works great when you follow the work flow: take sufficiently overlapping screenshots, immediately go to Tailor, and voila: they get stitched together cleanly. Easy as pie. However, Tailor lacks any kind of manual photo selection option. Sometimes, it turns out that I didn’t include quite enough overlap and have blurry sections in the final image, and there’s no way (to my knowledge) to just add a few more screenshots to get more coverage of those sections and remake the stitched image. Instead, I have to start completely over and retake *all* of the screenshots. This is an unnecessary hassle and can leave me with quite a lot of photo cleanup afterwards, if I was trying to record a longer conversation and had to go through the process 2-3 times. It would also be nice to have the option to delete the component images once a satisfactory composite has been created. Not sure if the Photos API allows that, but it would be very convenient to be able to single-tap delete them.

In my various hours of use and trials, I have found Tailor to not be very easy to use. In one sense, the app does too much for you. It’s difficult to modify whatever stitching determination the app reaches—you seemingly have to delete the original screenshots and then re-screenshot whatever images you’d like to stitch. Moreover the app is not very feature-rich. You seemingly cannot modify stitching alignments, choose the stitched photo organization, and you’re limited to only one type of stitching: the “scrollshot” stitching style as determined by the Tailor app logic. There is a better app in terms of functionality, called Picsew, which I randomly stumbled upon and instantly loved. Ease of use, in addition to additional features (like modifying stitching alignments, determine stitching organization, multiple stitching varieties [e.g., scrollshot, vertical, horizontal], ability to stitch any photos [including non-screenshot photos], etc.), makes it much better than Tailor. Assurance of authenticity: I have no affiliation whatsoever with Picsew (or Tailor), nor have I been asked, endorsed, paid, contracted with, incentivized, or otherwise, by Picsew to write this post. This post is a genuine review based on my personal experiences, and nothing more.

I love this app. It’s SO simple and does an incredible job...2/5 times. The other 3/5, it force closes and continues to force close over and over again until I delete the app and re-download it. It’ll work seamlessly for a few days after being re-downloaded, then it force closes again and I have to repeat the process all over. I’ve probably deleted and re-downloaded this app around 30+ times. AT LEAST 30 times. It’s an incredible, simple, seamless app, but the glitches drive me crazy. I agree with another review that recommended adding a few tools to help it stitch the images together! Maybe being able to highlight the overlap so it knows, options for splitting the stitched images into a few separate ones, just things like that. It would still be very simple, but would do a better job (maybe, I’m not an app developer, so I don’t even know if that’s possible)! Even if I had to pay a few dollars for it, I would be more than happy to if the glitches were fixed! :)

This app does what it is supposed to do, and it does it well. It is built to require a generous overlap between screenshots, but it is so to ensure that the right screenshots get stitched together. It matches the screenshots perfectly - especially when there’s text involved (matches the distance between the lines as on the webpage you’re screenshooting), but does do with anything, really. I don’t have any complains, nor do I see the overlapping requirement as an issue at all, no, I’d rather say that’s a good feature and it’s just something to ensure accuracy by giving it more information to work with. This app has been more useful than I expected when I first downloaded it for the purpose of a one-time-use. I find myself using this app to capture parts of articles, comments sections, wiki pages, etc, and It’s a good tool to have.

I downloaded this app not even sure what I needed it for. I’ve been surprised at the number of times I’ve ended up using it since then. Has really come in handy, especially for capturing screens of lengthy emails or documents. Some way of manually selecting older screens for stitching from your camera roll would be nice, but not really necessary. EDIT: Tried writing a 5-star review for Tailor, only to find that I’d already written one. So I’m editing my original simply to say, this app is still indispensable to me. One suggestion, after much use, is the introduction of a Crop function post-stitch. I often stitch the photos, then save to my library just so I can go in and crop the resulting stitched image down a bit (unnecessary header or footer stuff). Would be amazing to be able to crop directly within the app!
