Terrible

Time I click the undo or redo app too often…it completely crashes and then my workmate is gone. After all these years and they still can’t fix any of the bugs in this app.

It’s great, but

Could you change something about it, not kicking us out of the app because sometimes it does that

Horrible

This app is great! If you like nonstop crashing and random glitch outs! Please fix this.

DON’T USE THIS APP!

When I was on this app, I was like working on a storyboard, but it keeps crashing and makes me lose my progress! I am so mad!

DO NOT USE. I Lost ALL my progress even on a saved board

I storyboarded almost my whole episode. I saved it over multiple days. Right now, it crashed and my file is NO WHERE. Its just gone. This is horrible. Is there any way I can get my lost work back???? Not using again unless this is fixed.
