What's New in Version 2.2
√ We added the following iCloud functionality:
• 'Save A Copy' Saves a variation of the sketch to the location of the original sketch. For example, if the original sketch is from iCloud, the copy (variation) will be saved to iCloud.
• 'Duplicate Create' a copy of the selected sketch in the same location as the original sketch.
√ Cut, copy, and paste
• From within the Layer Editor, Tap-Hold to cut or copy content from a layer to somewhere outside the app or paste content from elsewhere into a layer. If the content contains an alpha channel, it is respected.
√ Improvements
• Smarter multi-touch reduces problems with accidental touches during drawing.

I would have given this app a 5 except the latest update decided to purge my iCloud of all my images!! I had a lot so this is a huge disappointment. Oh and I thought they would still be on my phone, nope they're all gone. Defiantly not a pro app if this is what happens to your illustrations!
Fantastic drawing, but plagued exporting!
This is a fantastic app for drawing, and I find it especially useful for sketching quick storyboards for videos. The problem is with the exporting function. When I try to email an image to myself so I could put it in a slides how or a video, it freezes the program and requires me to restart my computer, as if the export infected the image with a virus!
New version doesn't work
I updated to the new version just a few days ago and now the app will not open at all. This means all my drawings go with it--lost!! What a shame it is to lose of my hard work. The original app is fabulous beyond words, but this update crashes upon opening.
