Customer Reviews
Crashes
REALLY wanted to try this before investing the $6, but like other reviewers said, it crashes when you try to take a picture until you have no more tries left and the app no longer works. :(
Horrible
App would not let me take a picture. It kept crashing. I used my 5 free times trying to take a picture. Deleted. Not worth my time!
Good but ,,,,.
The app is good although dragging colors to different areas can not be done because of bugs. It would be 5 stars otherwise.
