Snapguide is a free iOS app and web service which hosts how-to guides on varying subjects, and allows users to create their own guides to share. Snapguide provides easy to understand instructions for a wide array of topics including cooking, gardening, crafts, repairs, do-it-yourself projects, fashion tips, entertaining and more. Users can search for step-by-step guides on anything, or browse the four general categories: topics, featured, popular, and recent guides.
Each guide has clear pictures to provide guidance through a project or recipe. Snapguide lets users see what each step of the project is to look like in the process.  Each guide follows a step-by-step process that is easily navigated by swiping left to advance and right to go back. Steps in a guide can include videos, photos or plain text depending on the complexity of what is being taught.

In addition to searching for and saving guides, users can also create a guide to share on Snapguide. Simply upload pics and enter the accompanying steps, type the ingredient or material list, and publish. Users can interact with others about the recipe or project.

  • Craft and share procedural writing
  • Document steps used to solve a problem
