Used to be great

Forge immediately crashes on my iPad mini. I used to love it for taking notes. But not only can I not use it I have no access to existing notes!

Incredible garbage

Why is this still here? Create a drawing, never get access again. This app guarantees you waste your time. Please, don’t bother.

Thank You for returning Adonit Bluetooth stylii support to Forge!
