### 5/5 — An almost perfect tool, left to rot

*2025-05-14, version 1.1.2*

The title says it all. Be aware that it crashes a lot, because of its current status of complete abandonment.

### 1/5 — Unstable

*2025-03-12, version 1.1.2*

I want to like this app, but it constantly dumps back to desktop. I’ll try it later.

### 4/5 — Wonderful app, but….

*2025-01-05, version 1.1.2*

I am highly impressed with the capabilities of this app, it’s literally like having Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw in my pocket. However, the app will crash when trying to merge layers or when applying certain styles effects to objects in my document.

### 1/5 — Abandonware

*2024-11-24, version 1.1.2*

Abandonware 
can no longer print from this app 
can no longer install fonts. 
no updates for at least four years

App abandoned by developer

### 1/5 — 0/5

*2024-10-28, version 1.1.2*

Zero stars..this app keeps crashing every time I try adjusting settings in layers. Wow

### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing, but...

*2024-10-07, version 1.1.2*

I have been using this software for years and it is indispensible. I am an artist and it is absolutely perfect for what I use it for. The only drawback is that it does have some bugs... though that won't deter me from using this app, I wish the bugs weren't a thing. Overall, I will continue to use this app.

### 4/5 — 8 years drawing in here

*2024-05-30, version 1.1.2*

I love this app for drawing, self taught, amazing what you can do, the only thing that is very frustrating is you get well in to a design and it crashes, I would love the developer to add auto saving every 5 minutes, this would save so much time for all.

### 4/5 — Powerful Intuitive but buggy

*2024-02-21, version 1.1.2*

Great tool. Use it all the time but app crashes a lot especially when trying to delete a layer or apple fx’s.

### 5/5 — Отличное приложение

*2024-01-05*

Использую уже лет семь, начинал ещё до переименования приложения. На изучение, конечно, ушло время, продолжение несколько необычное, но очень функциональное и удобное. Хочу такое же приложение для планшета на Andriod. Жаль, что его там нет. И нет похожих и достойных аналогов!

### 1/5 — Horrible tutorials

*2023-11-12, version 1.1.2*

Seemed promising but good luck finding any useful tutorials and the tutorials I found were horrible.
