I was happy with Whink until recently where the app is frozen and does not work. My data is in iCloud, I can see them, I followed all possible instructions and still frozen. I am so disappointed

Great but needs an update

Love the fact you can write and text directly onto the canvas without having to use annoying text boxes. But when is this app going to be updated?????

Edit: 2025 and still no update!

Three dot issue

Cute but just one complaint

I like how easy this app is to use and learn, and the audio recording is def helpful, but I just don’t like how there’s not more pens/pen colors. I also am not a fan of the fact that you can’t zoom in on the pages very far, but other than those things this is really an awesome app if you want something easy :)
