Need more writing space!

Useful app for family sharing. But NEED MORE SPACE to write with finger on an iPhone. So much wasted space taken up by tool menu. Please give more writing space!

Poor quality notes

It severely reduces the quality of anything written, giving it a crunchy, pixelated look. It looks horrid.

One of my favourite games

This game is brilliant for planning and remembering things you are doing each day. It also has lots of fun stickers and you can use your own photos. This game does not lie you can trust it.
