I used this app for years. I've done all of my artwork on this app and have them saved in a folder on my phone. Recently I had to delete the app for a bit, not even for a week. When I reinstalled it and opened the app, after attempting to choose the artwork folder, it immediately crashes. I've tried multiple times, uninstalling, reinstalling, clearing space, clearing the cache. Not a thing worked. I'm getting ready for an art show and I need this to finish an art piece. Please fix this!! 🙏

It was great, the brushes were good, it worked fine, and though some of its tools can be a bit glitchy. The issue I really had was when the backup images were in my camera roll, it was very disruptive and there were just big gray blocks in my photos where the backups were. You can't delete them either, so you have to have these unusable images in your camera roll. If you like things in place like me, it's a bit of an issue.

Been using this app for a bit and I adore it but I can't open it anymore. Every time I try opening it, it crashes. No matter what I do it keeps crashing. I have tried reinstalling, clearing cache, and force stopping the app but none of it has fixed the problem. It wont even open without crashing 5 seconds later. My phone says it's crashing due to a bug but says the only thing I can do is wait for an update that fixes it. I'm really disappointed and hope this could be fixed soon.
