Ratings and reviews

This is a great app to have as an artist! The one thing I think it could use, though, is an auto-arriange feature when uploading new photos, so they do not overlap on each other when uploaded, and and automated feature for the people who probably forget to save very often (i.e myself.) Just a quality of life change, that's all.

This is just what I was looking for, but man, the one feature I desperately needed isn't here, and that's too, crop images once u import them into the board, I'm back to using Droid ref, but it's not the best, I like urs better, just add cropping! Hope that doesn't add the law of diminishing returns where it makes a bunch of bugs trying to add one feature, I'd request more like grouping and color coding groups but that's for another day :P

Truly suberp, easy to use yet so handy! One suggestion... I have to use two fingers to scroll, but what if you make it so that one finger scrolls the canvas instead of two, unless you select a picture, then it manipulates the picture until unselected. Its so that I can easily scroll to where I need. Two finger zoom makes sence. Thank you for great software. Keep up the good work and keep well
