This app is actually REALLY good BUT
OK, I definitely 100% recommend this game if you wanna make a visual novel but don’t have Renpy or anything or a computer, it’s like genuinely actually easy to use, and I’ve tried lots of different apps to make visual novels. Although I do recommend it, it does have its flaws. Especially if you’re trying to make something a little bit more detailed. So I’m gonna list the things that I don’t really like about it. Take this with a grain of salt. I know I’m the only written review on this app so far. First, the sound effects are really limited and it would be a lot better. If you didn’t have to to only record your voice as a sound effect, but be able to import sound effects that’s definitely something I don’t like about it. Second you are unable to copy or paste frames I feel like this is something that does need to be implemented because for every frame you make (especially if you wanna have a talking scene) you are unable to copy and paste it like at all… that’s something that made me really annoyed. Third I wish there was a way to import characters. (I mean this as in have character puppets or files, you can use inside the app that you can switch their emotions with I can’t explain it that well but… but basically I’m trying to say if I choose a specific option I want to be able to make it so my character can be angry(???) or I can make them happy to sad and such it’s just really hard to do that when you have to constantly keep importing the same pictures over and over again and the fact that you can’t remove them or move them after you pressed place it’s really bad imo. The game is really simple, but I feel like it. It’s a little bit too simple even when you press advanced there’s not a lot of detailed options to use, which in itself seems OK but for something like this, you might need to have a bit more or more specific options. Fourth, in itself is actually good. I’m not using it for its intended purpose. I’m using it for a visual novels instead of the comic reading. But I think if I did do it for the comic, I feel like it would still be lacking… I don’t know what else to say. The app is good but too basic and there’s not much you can do with it. I wish you could customize it a lot more. Especially with the chat bubbles and you not being able to change them or make your own. Like being able to lower the chat bubbles opacity or being able to import your own chat bubble design… again I feel like I might be asking for a little bit too much but yeah, this is just my honest opinion here

Thank you - this is the most useful review I could have asked for, and you weren't asking for too much. Most of your list is in the next update: duplicate a frame with everything on it (drawing, bubbles, voices, effects), import your own sound effects instead of only recording them, and pictures you can move, resize and delete after you place them. Bubbles now take an opacity slider as well as custom colors, so you can fade the fill and let your artwork show behind it. Re-importing the same picture every time is fixed as well - import it once and it's a pick from your project's list on every frame after that. Thanks for taking the time to write it all up in this much detail.
