### 5/5 — Still like it

*2023-07-16*

Still like this app. Please keep it updated. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2019-01-15*

Been using this from back when the icon was a thumb !

I’m on iOS 12 now would love to see it supporting HEIC format for pics. I’m assuming that’s why the camera 📷  button isn’t bringing up anything?! (Outs been a year since the las update.

### 5/5 — Excellent

### 5/5 — Five star not four

*2017-10-05*

Accidentally sent a four star review so had to write another correct five star review.  FastFinga 3 is EXTREMELY USEFUL.  Many thanks to the developers!

### 4/5 — スケッチが描きやすい

*2017-05-24*

どのペンでも描きやすいし、一枚ごとのイメージの整理もフォルダ分けできるので便利❗️

### 5/5 — Best way to keep a journal!

*2017-02-17*

I love this application.  I've always wanted to journal, but i never could stick with it, until now. With FastFinga3 I can jot a thought down, just seconds after it comes to mind. Impulse journaling! Writing with my finger not only is much faster than typing, scribbling in cursive actually uses a different part of the brain, so the words -- and emotions -- flow more creatively. Plus, with this app, I can switch ink colors, type if I want, or even draw pictures. I've passed four months of journaling every day, and now it's a habit, and I couldn't have done it without this app.
Give it a try, I think it's worth every penny it costs.

### 5/5 — Absolutely the best for jotting down notes

*2016-10-18*

I love this app. Always have. 

Think of it as a word processor with handwritten text. You can quickly use it to take meeting notes and then format them later. 

Or, my favorite use is just as a super quick jot pad. In fact it's on my home screen for this reason. I tap the FastFinga icon and am instantly ready to type a FedEx #, or email or appointment time. Or of course someone's phone number. 

The only thing I wish it had was the ability to insert full pictures in the text so I could annotate my notes with pictures. Currently you can draw but it stores only a thumbnail inline in the written text. The reason I want to insert pictures is so I can email a PDF with images. Please add!!!

Great app. You won't regret this purchase!

### 3/5 — レビューを書けとしつこいメッセージ

### 3/5 — ジオタグ機能せず
