Freeze warning

This app is trash. It used to be the best one out, but it definitely ain’t anymore. Keeps freezing when I try to zoom in

Please remove the double tap feature

Used to use the app on my android and it was very good and reliable. However on IOS there’s this double tap features that causes the image to be zoomed out back to 100% and it causes tracing to be very jarring. Please remove this feature
