### 1/5 — It doesn't work, YET.

*2014-11-28*

It looks like a great app but I am unable to draw the characters or draw anything on the sketchpad. It may be because I'm using iPhone 8.1.1 on my iPhone 5s. I promise to come back and update this review as soon as they fix it. Until then, this app is worthless.
