This app make sketch from camera or photo library on your iPad. After taking a picture, user can color on it. This app support 5 different pen width, and more than 12 colors. Kids take a picture of their favorite toys and dolls, and color on it by their hand. Tip: If light source is behind the object, sketch is not good because of shadow. But unfortunately, iPad don't have flash light, so you can get more clearer sketch by using phone's flash light. :) Thanks.

DRIVING & DASHCAM Use TimeBack as a flexible camera with a replay buffer when you want to preserve something that just happened. Save recent footage without keeping every minute as a permanent video file. 【FAQ】 Q1: What is pre-recording?
 A: Pre-recording is TimeBack's core feature. The camera continuously buffers recent footage. When you press record, the buffered footage and live recording are saved together as one video, capturing the full moment before and after the action. Q2: Does pre-recording use a lot of storage?
 A: No. Buffered footage isn't continuously saved as video files. Only the footage you choose to record is saved. Otherwise, the buffer continuously overwrites itself, using less storage than recording continuously for a long time. Q3: Can I use TimeBack without pre-recording?
 A: Yes. TimeBack also works as a regular camera with 4K video recording, camera controls, and voice control. Simply turn off pre-recording when you don't need it.
