### 2/5 — Not worth it

*2015-11-09*

The blur doesn't land where you put it! I tried several times to draw an outline where I wanted it, and it always shrinks and cuts off the edges.

**Developer response:** You might have been on an old version as the new iOS had caused this to occur.  If you install the new release, that wont happen.  Thanks for the feedback.  :-)

### 1/5 — T

The screen goes black after 3 seconds when I press
