I've said it before, and will no doubt say it again, I am a fan of Evernote... and Skitch is a partner program for Evernote.
It's so much clearer for everyone if documents (whatever they are) are neatly annotated, rather than have nigh illegible scrawls across them. Skitch makes it easier to be neat than to be scruffy.
Skitch creates a new folder in your Evernote account, named (unimaginatively but easy to remember) 'Skitch'.

Now for the ACIDS test:
Aesthetics
You start with a base page, which could be any of the following:
Photo that you take from within the App
Photo that is already on your iOS device
PDF document that is somewhere on your Evernote account
Map; you decide where (and the scale) and Skitch will take care of the rest
Web page; you give the address and this becomes your base page
Blank Page
One you have created a 'Snap', you are free to use all the tools, which include:
Arrows (very accurate, and work so that you start where you want and end with the head of the arrow, just like it should be)
Text
Markers (with a choice of icons) and again the right way round
Freehand pen
Regular shapes (rectangular, circular, rounded corners, lines)
Cropping tool, where you choose the area that you want to remain
These tools can be further customised by choosing the colour and size, which gives a large variety. All annotations can be edited, resized, moved or, of course, deleted.
Once you are done, just hit the 'save' button and the annotated document is automatically available in your Evernote account. You can then also easily create a public link so that anyone can view the document; just email the address to whoever you want to be able to see it.
Cost
The App is free, as is a basic Evernote account.
Indispensability
Has anyone ever come back to you asking what you mean with your annotations? Did you enjoy wasting everyone's time? Is this a no-brainer?
Dependability
This is an Evernote product and, as one would expect, totally reliable.
Security
The guys at Evernote/Skitch are sufficiently careful that even your 'public' notes contain no reference to your account; nice touch.
For the doubters out there, here's an example:
