Ratings and reviews

Updating my review after 4 years to a 3 star review. The app is still great to use, but I don't like how in order to transfer your project files to a Flash Drive off of your phone, you have to buy a higher premium membership. I'm fine paying for the cheap premium, but I wish I could just save my project files onto my PC through file transfer without paying.

Ever since an update a long time ago (whichever one introduce ads when you save, it was a few years back I think) the app will randomly crash, even in the middle of a save, and the backups aren't frequent enough to save any progress. As of today it's gotten so bad that it crashes within minutes and even my phone reports there's a bug, which it didn't use to before. I will not recommend this app on any device for anyone until it's fixed, which I'm not sure will happen since again it's been years.

So I genuinely love this app and use it for work as I'm an illustrator. Unfortunately, it's become unusable with bug crashes. With every fix attempt on my end and searches online to discover that the company is blaming iPhones (I don't even use iPhones). I hope that the company steps up and fixes this issue as it is becoming more common for ALL users. I'm going to have to find a new app in the meantime. Otherwise, it's $36,000 down the drain for me. Will happily change my review once resolved.
