have to be online to use it. even after paying for the yearly sub

Now requires paid subscription to sync even a few pages

This used to be a useful app for occasional sketches using photos as a background for planning room layouts etc. The developer has now made it necessary to pay an overpriced subscription simply to allow sync of a what for me is around 25 pages of drawings between devices for occasional use. Probably suits their business model but not mine. I will need to find an alternative. I could probably justify around $5 per year for this but not $150/yr. Will delete the app after downloading existing images.
