### 1/5 — Four years with no update

*2019-02-14, version 2.0*

No wonder this app is unusable. It’s neglected.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-04-24, version 2.0*

First, the app only works in portrait mode, so use of an external keyboard is a no-go. I opened a photo from my library and the photo just sat there. It filled about 3/4 of my iPad Pro screen (iOS 9) and no amount of tapping dragging or anything else made any difference. Nothing happened.

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2015-08-15, version 2.0*

I brought in a picture from my camera, added measurements as text to it, then needed to leave where I was. When I reopened the app, all I saw was the screen with "New from Camera" or "New from library". Where is the photo with my added text? Where is Help?
