What's New in Tracing Paper Lite

5.2

November 8, 2012

I'm celebrating the release "Cato's Hike", my new game to teach children (and adults) basic programming! Please check out and enjoy :) Please note, I've worked on updating all performance issues, if you still have any please send me feedback from the app in addition to on the app store. I couldn't reproduce any performance issues on the iPad3 as in one of the reviews. I've also upped the number of drawings to 3 in the Lite version, to draw more you can always delete an old one or upgrade to the full version. - iPhone 5 and iOS 6 fixes - fix using the new pencil mode on iOS 6 - save/restore last used pencil settings - many stability and OpenGL crash fixes, especially multitasking - fix rendering tracing grid to not show extra lines or crash on resize - added support for the new iOS 6 sharing sheet for cleaner sharing UI - raise limit to 3 traces in Trial mode - fix problem using "Open With..." when already tracing - eraser fixed to be round shape - retina pencil icon and remove old icons
