** To clear the screen, just press hard enough on it that it clears. ** Explore the 3D Touch capabilities of your device with this app. It is a simple drawing app that increases the radius of the circle in response to how much pressure you put on the phone. Combining that with a generated color profile with a random seed and you'll find yourself creating immersive 3D structures in seconds flat. It's a fun tool that will allow you to see the precision and range of 3D Touch. Please note: This is only really useful if you do have a 3D Touch capable device. Your experience will be suboptimal if not.
