### 1/5 — Terrible

Was literally made for a 3 year old

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We have improved the application

### 1/5 — Used to be good....now terrible

*2020-07-10, version 4.3*

This app used to be very simple and straightforward to use. After the last update.....deleted. Terrible waste of time now.

### 1/5 — Good Idea, Bad Execution

*2019-05-03*

I downloaded this app hoping for a good way to easily markup my photos, but the whole setup is annoying. All of the functions are too close together, the save button doesn't seem to do anything and, most of all, there is no zoom function. Would not recommend.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We have improved the application

### 2/5 — Zoom

*2018-07-19, version 4.1*

Needs a zoom feature

### 1/5 — Don’t work

*2018-07-17*

I click on one of my pictures so I can write on it and the picture won’t even show up so I can write on it.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We have improved the application

### 1/5 — Why won’t this app save what I’ve written on photo?????

*2018-06-16, version 4.1*

Had this app on my iPhone but wanted to write on photos without the ads popping up
all the time. Just paid $2.99 for the app and it’s not allowing me to save what I’ve written on the photo. Can someone at this app please contact me to advise how to do this. Very frustrating when you purchase an app and it doesn’t do what it says it’s going to do. Feel ripped off!!!!!!

### 2/5 — Please add

*2018-05-11*

Not enough color choices, need more options as too size, adds don’t let you “x” out, can’t zoom in.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We have improved the application

### 5/5 — Simple et efficace

*2018-04-11*

Enfin une appli qui propose les outils de base pour dessiner sans se prendre pour Michel-Ange ou un générique horrible de Photoshop. Merci !
