### 2/5 — It really amounts to a demo

*2011-12-01, version 1.7*

I'd thought straight demo versions weren't allowed, but that is what this amounts to...the sketching looks good even on hard pics *but* there is a huge watermark centered on it and no ability to save at all. I think the developer would do better to put the mark to the edge and have at least some export, perhaps at half size. Otherwise, to me, this becomes just a demo.

### 2/5 — Obnoxious Watermark.

*2011-08-13, version 1.7*

How am I supposed to see my black and white pictures with the huge watermark right in the center of them? This app might be good BUT I CAN'T TELL WITH THE WATERMARK IN THE WAY. Not going to buy the full version.

### 4/5 — No save function

*2011-07-09, version 1.4*

As title and the complaint some people's commented, there's no such function for saving the result for lite version. The purpose is attract you to buy the full version. However, I'm satisfied with its performance.

### 3/5 — Absolutely a wast of time and $$$

*2011-06-04, version 1.4*

I am deleting it now
If I had a choice it would be -1 star
You can not much here I wish I coul get my money back :-(

### 1/5 — Not worth it -AT ALL

*2011-05-09, version 1.4*

The lite version is just to attract you for the full version - doesn't give you anything. And full version $4 - srsly? Don't waste time, there are plenty of good photoshop app out there, don waste money or time on this one
