Waste of Money

Very limited features. Missing super basic options.

Terrible software

You can’t do anything.

Waste of money

This thing is old and antiquated!

Not worth the small price tag

I spent three hours trying to get something similar to what I wanted. This app lacks so many features that an experienced user would use. $5.69 and I’ll never use it again.

Disappointing

Essentially this is a fancy yard doodle board, but isn’t accurate enough to use with good project outcome. The main problem is the lack of the ability to correctly scale a drawing. In settings, there is no way to see the adjustments that the slider bar is making, not even the draw line width. But the worst of it is that the grid and the scale don’t match at all, when total zoomed in, there are 6 lines between 0 and 14. Then when you add things there is no size indicators on the objects either. So, have fun, but don’t plan on accuracy being better than a couple of feet this way or that.
