Keeps crashing

When I have the app for long, it crashes. And I have to reinstall the app to fix it and the cycle begins again. Can you fix this please?

Need more functions, and the app doesn’t work after I update the version

In this app, there is no plain white text on black background clock face, and you can’t mix text scrolling with animations and static photos.

Not working on iPad OS 26. Missing delete functions

Now not working on iPad OS 26. Opens with animation frozen then closes after a few seconds.

On iPad Air and iPhone 16 it works but anything saved is gone next time the app is opened. Last update broke a few things.

Formatting messes up on iPad OS 26 and none of the icons open anything. Some will cause a crash. Lost a lot of work and back to my Iphone for now. A lot of fun but no way to delete unwanted saved graffiti

Kinda jankey

It is good but I had some software issues, it’s hard to make an animation and you can’t look up anything in the animations or images

Glitchy and limited in ability to import content - especially animation

Basically it works but is very difficult to understand or to achieve consistency with. Certain operations (program) appear to be able to be set up, or alarms scheduled but any understanding about how they work or dependence on them working is not advised. It seems to only work when open and in some basic ways, anything extra is unpredictable. Ultimately I gave up trying to do anything that I bought the device for. It’s too frustrating to waste time setting it up and then have it crash or erase my work.
