### 1/5 — No way to save the work?

*2015-07-30, version 15.7.25*

This "free" version seams to be a crippled version that has no save function (at least that I have been able to find) so there is no way of knowing what sort of output resolution is supported.  The paid version is way over priced, today at $6.99 and if you want color I your sketch you can buy the enhanced color version for $8.99. I think I'll pass.

### 2/5 — no longer working

*2014-09-27, version 1.3*

It was working but ever since the iOS 8 update is no longer working they need to update it. On its compatible with i OS 8 update should be an easy 4 - 5 stars

### 1/5 — Awful

*2014-01-20, version 1.3*

Okay so I'm really scared to buy the full version because the problem I had with the lite was that you can't save your work. I made a cool pencil drawing but couldn't save it. Don't get this app. It's a waste of money and time.

### 5/5 — Penicl sketch

*2012-11-25, version 1.3*

Love app

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2012-11-03, version 1.3*

This is ridiculous! The only way to save your sketch is getting the full version! Is not the $0.99 or the $1.99, why the condition to enjoy the app? DELETED!

### 1/5 — Not really what I expected

*2012-02-01, version 1.3*

Was hoping to at least be able to save the picture, even with the watermark,(that is actually horrendous), but weren't able to.

If this is only to tease us into buying the other app well I don't think so....

### 1/5 — Obnoxious Watermark.

*2011-08-13, version 1.3*

Ok, I get that this is the lite version, but really the watermark really kills me. How am I supposed to see my black and white photos if there is writing on them? Not going to buy the full version.

### 4/5 — Awesome!

*2011-06-24, version 1.3*

Who cares about the writing in the middle? One click and its gone! Dude! Get real! This app is great! I want to give it 5 stars but im getting ahead of myself and want more stuff added to it! Like more choices of background! That would be awesome! Keep developing guys!

### 5/5 — Very realistic sketch lines

*2011-04-11, version 1.3*

Versatile. Lovely notepaper collection. Great job!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2011-04-10, version 1.3*

It's bad because of the writing they put right in the middle of the picture
