### 1/5 — Can’t save to photos so it’s useless.

*2021-09-29, version 4.0.0*

Can’t save to photos only files which makes this app useless.

### 2/5 — Picture Comes Up as a Black Screen

*2021-08-15, version 4.0.0*

I use to love this app... especially for annotating pictures I send to family members frame apps. However, since upgrading to IOS 14.7.1 (I'm not sure if this happened in IOS 14.7 because I skipped that update), when I bring up Inkboard from my photos app the picture displays for only a brief moment before changing to a completely black screen. Deleting and reinstalling hasn't helped.

### 2/5 — STILL Crashes, gets stuck! STILL awaiting a Fix!

*2019-11-09, version 3.3*

With the new iOS 13, (also with 13.2 and 13.3 FB!) when accessing any of the options under the ‘Share’ icon, the app locks up. The only solution is to quit the application to continue use.

Really needs to get fixed, but doesn’t seem like they’ve made updates for a long, long time. WILL YOU FIX IT!!

### 5/5 — Inkboard Love it!

*2018-02-27, version 3.3*

I use it constantly but I wish it had a few more color & shade choices!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2018-01-16, version 3.3*

I use it to draw on pictures to check off items pictured. My only issue would be adding brighter colors to draw more clearly on dark pictures.

### 5/5 — Very handy!

*2017-07-17, version 3.3*

I use this app a lot, to make annotations for work.

### 1/5 — Lacking

*2017-07-05, version 3.3*

Can not change size of drawing utensil, writing is also extremely faint.

### 5/5 — Pic folders

*2017-06-27, version 3.3*

I would love if there were storage folders for pictures you have already edited. 
I love the app, I've been using it a lot

### 5/5 — Easy and fun

*2017-06-16, version 3.3*

I'm a nurse and use this to highlight the days I work and what unit by color. No breakdowns or freeze ups. Enjoyable to edit personal pics too.

### 5/5 — Grate love it

*2017-05-19, version 3.3*

I like the app  it is great for drowning mustache on people and photos. And it helps me with my home work too, if I do my home work. I would like it more if they added bucket of pant and more colors and a way to make your own colors. Any way love the app
