Could you please fix this?

So, I was just going to one of my worlds to explore, when I realized, I go into it…. It crashes my iPad.

Every time I open the world it crashes. When I copy the world it gives the following error:

SQL statement failed
Message
NOT NULL constraint failed:
image.graphid

CODE 19

STATEMENT
<none>

I think the save file is corrupt.
Sadly this world is really valuable so I started to cry. Thankfully I am okay now.
If a developer finds out then could you fix this as soon as possible?
That’s everything!

Response from developer

It makes me sad to hear about your problems with a corrupted database. Since Mindsketch now is free, I am struggling to get time to fix bugs, since I have to do it aside of my regular day job. Hopefully I will get time soon, but it doesn’t look likely at the moment. Take care and thanks for the generous rating.

Many thanks!

Thanks! This is what I am looking for?
Small to big that is what I reed! Big thumb up!.

So good

I drawn infinite it’s so good but the problem is it’s not like infinite zoom like zooming infinitely it ends in a point

Response from developer

Thank you for your kind review! The app had an endless zoom in the beginning, but during development, we decided to limit it. When you make an app, you have to prioritize between features. We have prioritized making things editable before an infinite zoom. The canvas is still huge, but if you need an endless zoom, there are other alternatives. Also, the way computers handle very big or small numbers eventually breaks down if you zoom in/out too long. There might be ways to handle this, but we couldn't find out how, and none of the apps we've tried had either.

Potential

I’ve been using this app for about 2 months now. This app is still a work in progress and only works WITH AN APPLE PENCIL. I have used this app to create in depth study guides for my classes and I’ve really enjoyed using it. Some improvements I would like to see implemented would be an eraser. The undo feature works well but when I notice a mistake I made after drawing new items I have to undo everything or draw over it again with the colour I was using. Another improvement i would like to see would be a smoother transition when zooming in and out of my drawings. This app has a lot of potential, I’m excited to see how much this app will grow and improve.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback! It means a lot to us. If you want to, you can suggest new features we should implement at https://zoomworld.sleekplan.app/. You can also vote on other's existing suggestions, like the one named "Eraser" ;) As far as we can see, you are using version 1.1.0. We have improved performance since then and are continuously improving the performance. The next version (1.4.0) will no longer require an Apple Pencil, by the way. We have added an eraser now in version 1.5.0.

Bad

The game will not let me draw and for 10.99 it is a scam

Response from developer

Are you using an Apple Pencil? The current version only supports drawing with an Apple Pencil. We have realized some customers miss this information and are therefore working on a solution to let you draw with your fingers. You can wait for this or ask for a refund. This article describes how you can do that: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT204084. We are sorry to hear that you think our app is a scam. We are working hard to create an enjoyable, usable app.
