You guys have completely screwed up this app. Primarily, what was useful about this app was the ability to cut, layer, and piece together images to change them or make new ones. You could use the lasso feature, cut out the part of the image you needed, and layer it into another image. Any real editing capabilities have been removed. The lasso/cut feature under the pulldown menue does not work. The lasso/cut feature under notes serves no purpose and also doesn't work. This app is useless now.

Excellent on computer, specifically laptops. Very nice and performs well, just turn on high precision strokes and any lag should be entirely resolved. My issue is with mobile - you cannot draw in landscape mode. I personally find portrait mode to be very restrictive and annoying to draw with, so an option to switch to landscape mode would be much appreciated. If you have a touchscreen laptop, though, it's the best app you could get.

I like the this app when it comes to drawing, it's fine and does it's job well, but when it comes to saving, it's become nearly impossible to get my CURRENT drawing to save the way it looks when I save it. The main thing is it will refuse to save with the color in, it will just save the line art. It doesn't matter if I merge the color and lineart layers or not, if I want to share or just save and upload, I have to take a screenshot of get my drawing the way it was drawn. Its super broken.
