### 3/5 — Update for iOS 11

*2017-11-26, version 1.2*

I can no longer use this app until the developer updates it for iOS 11!

### 1/5 — Junk

*2016-12-17, version 1.2*

Add Text doesn't work.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-10-20, version 1.2*

Not working . Nothing moves.

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2016-09-21, version 1.2*

You can only edit photos that you take using the app.  Nuff said.

### 1/5 — No good

*2016-09-06, version 1.2*

This is like some high school student's App 101 project. Not good for anything

### 1/5 — Photo was cropped automatically! 😡

*2016-06-24, version 1.2*

The pen itself worked as advertised, but it also cropped the picture!  Not good!!

### 1/5 — Seems to be useless

*2016-05-14, version 1.2*

I was looking for an app that I could use my apple pen with to write on a photo that was taken.  It was a screen shot that I needed to quickly sign as if it was a PDF and this program did not have thinner lines to draw a signature.  Not good for businesses for sure.

### 1/5 — Not goood

*2012-07-15, version 1.2*

Shittyyy AF

### 5/5 — omg awesome

*2012-04-09, version 1.1*

this app is the best for those yolo pics

### 3/5 — Good

*2012-04-08, version 1.1*

This is not worth 5 stars nor is it worth 1 star. Its 3 stars for me b/c the free version doesnt allow you to edit the top of pics that are vertical. The ads block the top/side of pics and your unable to color or edit that side were the ads are. Secondly the bottom portion were you choose your colors, photos, size, etc. also covers part of the picture. So, just like the ads, you cant color that. But its def. a good app for those who just want to play around, not for any professional reasons though b/c of these problems.
