### 1/5 — Not loading up

*2025-12-08, version 1.62*

Doesn’t load up

### 1/5 — iOS not supported?

*2022-02-01, version 1.62*

Even though it says in the info on the App Store the app is supported by iOS 8 or later, the app itself is telling me iOS is not supported. This company needs to make major updates, don’t bother downloading the app.

### 2/5 — Not supported on iPad?

*2022-01-28, version 1.62*

When I open the app I get a message that it's not supported on iPad--and it shows. Between my surface and iPad I thought I could get it working smoothly. Maybe I'm just impatient but the webpage can be buggy on both devices and the drawing technology doesn't seem to take advantage of the capabilities of the apple and microsoft pencils. I found using the unsupported iPad app is 100x better than using any browser. I know so many students use iPad to draw and take notes on, so it's beyond me why it wouldn't be supported (same deal with the surface--I didn't see a draw it know it app on the microsoft store).

### 5/5 — Make a Functional App

*2021-07-13, version 1.62*

This program is awesome! Though for what I pay I’d love if this had a functional app.

### 1/5 — Website does not really work for iPad.

*2021-03-17, version 1.62*

Lectures were decent, but Half of the features would not work with the iPad and pencil. Save your money. Better resources out there for less money. Also price is per course, so you do not get multiple course access for that monthly price. Paid for a month which was a mistake.

### 2/5 — Does not run like an app

*2020-10-21, version 1.62*

I think the app is really confusing and doesn’t run like an app at all. It’s like whatever company this is was too lazy to create an app and instead put their website into an app thinking it would be the same thing. The text is blurry and everything is hard to navigate. Plus there is a one week free trial yet it never takes me anywhere where I can do an in app purchas. Therefore I can’t see anything. I’m sure whoever reads theses reviews is in no way in charge of pricing but wow the pricing is ridiculous. I’m in pre med, my senior year, and have never seen anything I’ve had to use this expensive. It makes you think you can view within your level such as undergraduate then makes you pay 10 dollars a month per subject. So it you actually wanted to see all subjects, it would be like 50 dollars a month. Just for a subsection.

### 1/5 — I want to like it, but it’s hard...

*2020-09-29, version 1.62*

If this app, or the platform in general (online or in the app) were better I would be ALL. OVER. THIS. APP. It is a great concept but the execution is very poor, and here is why:

	To start, upon opening the app, the first thing that pops up is “This IOS app is no longer supported, please access your subscription in safari”. Although it says this, you are still able to use the app completely, but you will have that same little red notification bar at the top of whatever page you’re on unless you are viewing a video. In addition to this, the app really functions more like a website than an actual application. It is extremely poor quality, does not completely fill the screen (I have an 11” iPad Pro 2019 model) and is VERY slow to load.
	The website is better in terms of the look and functionality until you get to the actual drawing part. The platform somehow manages to get pencil and eraser confused and will essentially just treat the eraser like a white pencil instead of actually erasing it. The problem with this is that if you made a mistake while tracing something, you will not only be “erasing” your work, but the actual stencil will be erased as well.
	The one feature that I would honestly pay double what I already did to have would be support for Apple Pencil. If you have an Apple Pencil, good luck, as there really is no compatibility for it whatsoever throughout the entirety of this platform. Palm rejection is nonexistent on both the website and the app, which makes for a huge inconvenience. That feature alone would have made this 1-star review a 4-star review.
	In all honesty, I really see a ton of value in this app/service, especially for us individuals who learn better when we are actively doing something engaging with the material. Had this app been better engineered earlier on, it could have been a HUGE success when all the learning switched to online because of COVID-19. It is a great idea and a great concept, just poorly executed as of currently. I really hope that improvements are made sometime soon, as I would LOVE to be able to use this platform to its full portential!

and the of would LOVE to see some Apple Pencil integration in the app

### 2/5 — Not working on iPad anymore

*2020-08-19, version 1.62*

It was great studying with DITKI but now it is not working on iPad  anymore. Unless this is fixed 2 stars. Still great videos and explanations.

### 2/5 — Like the idea of it

*2020-08-08, version 1.62*

I like how it’s supposed to work, but apparently the app isn’t going to fully work with iOS in the coming month and now it keeps quitting on me.

### 5/5 — What happened?

*2020-08-01, version 1.62*

This update seems to not work well with the iPad right now, a great source, but this bug needs fixed. 

I said this a week ago, the bug is fixe and this is back to being a 5 star learning tool. Active learning is key to success!
