### 1/5 — Failed despite many attempts

*2022-12-19*

Loaded pest app onto IOS16. Started project. Loaded one photo. So far so good. Attempted to load second photo. App closed. Note: Both photos from camera library not camera shot. Closed app. Retried 6 times. Each attempt same outcome. Same process used though varied the camera icon used on app.

### 1/5 — Not Stable

*2022-05-21*

Hi. The App isn’t stable almost every time I try to load more than one photo the app completely shuts down. 

Great concept though. I hope it gets fixed soon.
