Can’t transfer between your iPad and PC

I purchased in Apple Store and install the app on my iPad. I created an account but I can’t log in app, and therefore I wasn’t able to use it on my PC. There’s no any tutorials to troubleshoot.

Importation d’éléments extérieurs.

Excellent mais il manque une chose essentielle. L’importation depuis l’application fichier sur iPad en glisse dépose app côte à côte d’éléments externe. Ça ferai absolument la différence à l’utilisation

Now unusable

Updated and now can’t save. Paid for an app that is now unusable. Will contact Apple as I’m sure this breaks some T&C.

Bring in your own design

If only there was a way to bring in your own designs as too many of the same things can be overwhelming and confusing at times so maybe a way to quickly be able to create your own elements will be a nice addition to it.

FAQ

Advanced features like team sharing and export options are available in the Pro version.

How much does Shot Designer cost?

What are common use cases for Shot Designer?
