### 5/5 — Best App EVER!

*2022-08-11, version 1.0.6*

Absolutely love this app

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-01-23*

This is a great app. I do not use it for type or layout. I use it to create my photographic art images. It is one of best appa I use. I use it more than all my other image processing apps.

Thank you

Bob Keough

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2018-03-06*

This app is great. I was looking for a letter press style design app and this is the only one I could find. Just my luck, it is incredibly feature rich and I am able to make great looking posters and designs relatively quickly. It’s definitely a one trick pony, but it does that one trick really really well.

### 1/5 — I really like to use this inspiring app.

*2016-12-20, version 1.0.4*

But it won't save any images, plain or fancy, on my brand new iPad Pro. Please fix ASAP!

### 1/5 — Update needed.

*2016-11-08, version 1.0.4*

Used to love this but with ios10 it crashes all the time.

### 2/5 — Font keeps resetting...

*2016-10-06*

No matter what I type, it keeps reverting back to "sample text." This app is awesome on my Macbook, my iPad, but not for my iPhone 6s+. Such a bummer.

### 1/5 — Very limited

*2016-08-07*

Not user friendly navigation. I went thru a lot of the tutorials and the whole app is limited. Looks like they need a serious update.

### 3/5 — What happened?

*2016-04-28*

Used to love using this app to create new designs for my business.  Haven't used it in a year, but now can't even get it to open...it just freezes at the title screen.  Is anyone maintaining this app or is it dead in the water?

### 2/5 — Please fix

*2016-01-06, version 1.0.4*

Too many bugs

### 3/5 — Keeps Crashing

*2015-02-22*

I really love all that you can do on this app, and it worked fine the first several times I used it. However, now I can't use it without it crashing within a minute of opening the app. Even deleting the app and re-downloading didn't help. Please fix this problem because this app's capabilities are really good.
