Ratings and reviews

So because it's possible to find my location using bluetooth scans I have to give my permission to access my location, just to connect a bluetooth device to the app because Android requires it? It says it doesn't collect any location data but still. I think it's rather ridiculous that I have to give location access to use the pen, a bluetooth device, with it. Other than from that the app is very useful.

I mean no disrespect but here's my review. This app did a good job at capturing the screen outline of my boogie board (even on the first attempt, assuming proper lighting). The app allows you to organize captures to folders and maybe to add colored tags. However, I could not get the colored tags to work. Also, I couldn't find a way to change the image to be black text on a white background as was shown in the examples. Renaming the colored tags would be a nice-to-have. Options are lacking.

My first impression of this app was bad, like the other reviews it seemed to only take mediocre photos of the screen. However I found where you can sync your pen (this should be in settings not a random icon on the screen imo). Now it records really well what I have written and drawn without having to take a photo. This is exactly what I wanted. I held out giving full stars because the other application with the photos is really bad and the end page button goes off prematurely.
