User reviews

Needs a lot of work

I love the concept but it needs a lot of work. Text is tiny and apparently not resizable. I try to record something using Koala but after I stop recording there’s no recording on the pad. The UI is generally unpolished and confusing. I wish this was the one but it is not at the moment.
