Love the flip through feature, but the fact you have to pay to even add a second photo on a page is ridiculous.

Really expensive

I love this app I used it every day and then the free trial ended and I was going to ask my mom if I could get the subscription but I saw how much it was and knew she was going to say no.

Problems login each time

I already paid for this app, but recently, every time I open it, it says I haven’t paid. It also lost all of my previous artwork. Because of these issues, I haven’t used the app much since then.
