Taking screenshots on your Android phone or tablet can be an indispensable tool for capturing information, collaborating with others, and troubleshooting issues. However, the default screenshot features on Android are fairly basic. Having an advanced screenshot app can take your screenshot game to the next level. In this post, we'll explore the top 5 Android screenshot apps based on features, ease of use, and value add. With the right app, you can take scrolling screenshots, annotate images, blur sensitive data, and more. Let's dive in!
1. Built-in Screenshot Tool

The built-in screenshot tool comes with all Android phones, so no download is required. To take a standard screenshot, simply press the Power and Volume down buttons. You'll then get options to edit, share, or delete it. The editor allows basic annotations like cropping, drawing, and adding text.
One handy feature is scrolling screenshots. When you take a screenshot, tap the preview thumbnail and select "Capture more". This will let you scroll down and take a long continuous screenshot. The individual screenshots are stitched together pretty seamlessly.
While the built-in Tool works fine for simple screenshots, it lacks more advanced features. But it's a good basic option that doesn't require installing anything additional.
2. Longshot

Longshot is focused on making it easy to take extra long vertically scrolling screenshots. It can auto-stitch together screenshots over 100,000 pixels tall.
The key feature is effortless scroll capture. Just tap the screen while scrolling to take continuous screenshots. Longshot will combine them into one tall image.
You also get annotation features to draw, add text, emojis, and crop. Longshot is great for capturing long articles, lists, conversations, and more in a single image.
