Closes

Doesn’t stay open. As soon as you open a photo it just closes.

Potential

This app has the potential to be OUTSTANDING. Unfortunately, as it is, it falls short. App has me stuck in an endless loop trying to add a photo. When I finally add it, the edits bring up the photo I had worked previously. Go back to the drawing board.

HOW MANY TIMEE TO PEOPLW HAVE TO ASK????

You guys still have a problem with the masking tool! And just like one previous review one here from about a year ago, the skies cover the entire photo you can’t even fix them to put them behind buildings or anything. It just covers everything. Please fix this.

Mask tool STILL isn’t working.

Mask tool still isn’t working on Skylab. IPAD with up to date IOS. Also wish you had more skies.

Mask isn’t working

Would you fix the app please, so the mask feature can be applied. Automask feature is working though, but if you’ll edit the mask it won’t apply anymore.
Your apps are great! Please keep them up and running.
