nice addition to my workflow

I found this app because I wanted to be able to draw on my screen with my Apple Pencil while presenting. This app works flawlessly and exactly as advertised. I’ve since found other unique things to do with it like drawing over a calendar while I discuss travel plans with my wife.

While I love the retro design, I think I’d prefer if this app just used the default iPad drawing tools that are native since that is what I’m used to. Also I can’t seem to delete sketches.

Great app!
