Have used the app for a good 8 days, it's been lovely for me. But it has been giving me issues and not opening since morning, for both my partner and I. I tried reinstalling it and tried everything I could. Still won't work, please fix this bug. All it says is "taking longer than expected to open. check your internet...." and then it just crashes and turns off. Edit : The team was really quick on replying to me and that's lovely! Hopefully the issue gets resolved soon. Thank you!

This app has a lot of potential! It already has some really cool stuff. However, no widget for the canvas even though ios has it. I also love drawing and wish there was a way to zoom in and change brush size. Lastly, I wish you could directly reply to certain messages in conversations. I've only had it for one day, but I love it. I have been looking for a good LDR app.

Started playing with my boyfriend for the free version. Couldn't get enough so decided to spring for the hefty $12.99 month subscription until we can reunite (we're long distance). The past 24 hours, the app has not been accessible and has crashed before even opening. Very disappointing and wish I hadn't paid for this app. When its working, its SO FUN. But be warned, I definitely will not be subscribing another month. update: the team was able to solve the issues and get the service back.
