Update this wonderful version for 11 !! Leave out the photos, just let me draw freehand and make up my own drawing games with my children. Let me draw as an artist , not some automated copier. This is the BEST. Even when it is not perfect, it is FAR SUPERIOR to anything else !! Making it available for my iPad would make it even better . PLEASE UPDATE SO WE ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO USE THE ONLY TRUE DRAWING APP ON THE MARKET !!!!!!!! I second the last review !!! Leave the drawing , coloring, creative expression to us !!! Don't lock us into your version of art. My grandchildren and I used to love The freedom we had. Update to 11 The original version for artists. Please !!!! Have two apps; The one for all the push button artists with photos, etc But , most importantly the brilliant original version for the best art of all, OUR ART , NOT YOURS ### 4/5 — update 되면 좋겠는데.... *2018-05-22* sketch pencil같은 기능은 매우 독특한데 쓸 수 없어 아쉽네요. ### 4/5 — I love this app but dislike due to update ios 11 *2018-04-16* I use ur app all the time to create abstract art which to all whom has seen my arrt love it too no end.
