### 5/5 — Nice and Useful!

*2021-05-07, version 10.3.2*

Pretty useful app and it’s extremely simple, thanks for making this!

### 4/5 — Parfait pour photographes et vidéastes

*2021-01-25, version 10.3.2*

Superbe application pour les photographes et vidéastes car permet d’utiliser son iPad ou iPhone de façon créative. De plus, l’application est assez simple d’utilisation et n’a jamais buggé de mon côté. Seul défaut à mon sens, ce qui me fait enlever une étoile  : on ne peut pas saisir une couleur précise...

### 5/5 — Loved it!

*2020-04-09, version 10.3.2*

Exactly what I was looking for. People complaining doesn’t know what long exposure and light graffiti is. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Great for photography

Hace un par de años era una muy buena aplicación. Hoy no abre, se pone la pantalla en negro y se cuelga en mi ipad. Una lastima, era de mucha utilidad

### 1/5 — No sirve

*2018-05-18, version 10.3.2*

Cada vez que la abro se cierra es muy mala app

### 5/5 — Gut und kein Schnick Schnack

Unkompliziert und die Werbung stört auch nicht.
