Amazing app! But…

Animation is literally H.A.R.D.E.R then trying to draw a perfect circle, so please add some kind of tutorial or tip when you press animation assist. But overall beautiful app!😎

Issues

I tried to use the app and it crashes for some reason after drawing a few lines. I have tried things to fix it from user error and it doesn’t work.

Wonderful app, but there's one minor problem

I am happy to tell you that this is an amazing app and I love using it to draw and animate whatever my heart desires, but there has unfortunately been a recent issue.
I tried opening a specific piece of art that I have saved today, and it would not load. So I tried to reload the page and entering the document again, but instead I was warned that the "document is in an unknown state and may be corrupted". This same slow-loading glitch would happen with all my other pieces, but they were not categorized under the same warning.
However, though I may be a bit wary, I will continue to use this app as it has every feature and tool an artist could ever dream of for on a digital platform, and nothing beats it, or gets close to the level of functionality and versatility this app stands on.
Thank you for reading this review, and I hope that it is possible to fix what happened to one of my art pieces, though I completely understand if it cannot be recovered. Have a good day!
