This app allows you to record the steps of creation from inception through completion. The data and photos are stored on your device and not shared with anyone. Record as many projects as you like and add the milestones as you progress. When finished, you can archive the photos and records for later viewing. The primary use of Craft Creations is to provide a platform to record milestones of the development of your project, whether it is pottery, painting, cooking, woodworking, repairs or even major construction. You can record as many milestones as you like in order to see the sequence of events as the project takes shape and becomes complete. Your data is safe with the APP. There is no transmission of data to the developer or to any third party site. You may export your records and photos with your e-mail and send them to yourself or a friend. Some other data is used by the APP to interact with your smartphone but is not transmitted.
