    Man this is terrible. I can do this on my Mac OS, my iOS, and now I have to use a Windows 10 work device it's unbelievable how much time I am wasting trying to draw a circle or rectangle!

    Often times, a clean circle or rectangle is all I need. Using the ruler is slow and cumbersome when all i want is a simple rectangle. Please add the capability to insert resizable shapes, a feature that has been available since the beginning of Paint.

    Absolutely astounding omission on the part of the developers. Renders the tool close to useless in my view.

    I totally support this idea! It's frustrating that when I take a screenshot and want to highlight areas of the image I have to try to do this with my mouse! Trying to do circles and numbers (to show the order of something in an image) is impossible!

    Add box/circle/oval drawing on Snip & Sketch!!!

    Add shapes!!!

    I'm surprised that this wasn't added to this product OOB. I haven't seen any responses to this since it was opened. Please add this feature!!!

    Oh that isn't too professional, has this been solved by now? No? Dang. Then I have to remember how I used to do it.

    It's too bad the Window's user and install base is so tiny and the company behind it so unknown compared to big companies like Ubuntu, who pay people big money to make software that solves users issues, or workflow needs.

    I still use the old MS splinter project: **Zoomit**, to mark up a screen before I capture it, but it's UI is hard to acquaint with new users that just want to share visual documentation and screenshots quickly.

    I guess Snip and Sketch is a Windows feature, but still...

    Oh yes please, please, pretty please! I'm giving it the full 3 votes!
    Bonus points if the box had an option for a solid fill colour or a blur option, so you can blank out any sensitive information.

    It would be nice if the ruler and protractor had their own buttons too.
