### 2/5 — Trash that would be an unacceptable product in 2010, today it is just embarrassing

*2024-08-16*

The this app, like the other paul mitchell apps, is a half arsed broken mess make by hacks and frauds. The required text entry is broken, the keyboard will cover the page and make legible entry difficult if not impossible. Copy pasting into the app too often causes it to crash.

You have to watch videos in order to answer the questions inside, but the app doesn’t keep your progress in the video. Making it a frustrating process to scroll through the video again and again every time you answer a question.

At least this app contains some useful information

### 3/5 — Ok

*2016-09-26*

I love using this app to do my diagrams on but there are many things that need fixing or updates. Sometimes I can not get the lines to be straight on the heads, they constantly wind up crooked then I have to fiddle with it hoping to get them straight. Also sometimes when I connect a blue line to a green line, that blue line turns green for some reason. The only other thing I have to complain about is that in order to have all of the heads on one piece of paper, you have to screenshot every one, then crop it, then put it into a different collage or photo editing app and print it. Otherwise I like this app. It makes my diagrams look clean and professional and you can customize the head sheets.

### 1/5 — Great but.......

*2015-02-11*

This product would be great if they would tell you where to go to buy the access code.

### 4/5 — FINALLY!!!

*2014-08-29*

After finding out about this app I stopped everything and added it to my app collection. I THOUGHT that the app was going to be very expensive but it was more than affordable! All of the videos and the the book are within this app. The diagraming  section made this app the perfect tool for assisting with my education. I graduate from Paul Mitchell the school San Diego  on October 24th ( my birthday of course) and it was a perfect birthday present to myself to assist with my career goals! Why only 4 stars? Because I want the Color System as an app now! Lol Bravo Zulu Paul Mitchell Systems!

### 4/5 — Right wrong idk

*2014-07-29*

I wish I knew if I were right or wrong...that would be great
