Here are a few promo codes for the full version :) 072XBP87NQQB9TDFUMKJQGW 3M5XYYA45FVWHHRZJ6U60NM 7Y7PYKWBD0PCEX7BTK6LESA RUY3F3XCRGFPJBZRB5FFJ2Q GE7VDF38YKDS0G6BSFD3LA5 XD1PN64EVNY09ZXU82PUHJN YHS0YGNEB3M5MZYUW4F60WZ EHZVLEW4D663U64T7R3V768 QYWRY68DWRGG1QP140EC9UJ E014H189UDH6VJHHVPSHH2S

  That's quite generous

This is cool, I installed and gave it a try. If I can offer some unsolicited feedback: This opens up directly to recent images, this is somewhat unintuitive and jarring- I wasn't sure I was in your app to get started, and didn't realize immediately I needed to select a photo. I used one of your promo codes, thanks for this. I found the blur feature to be the most useful, I'd suggest making the free version of the app allow you to experiment with this feature. Maybe have the free version watermark images? Or limit the number of images you can save. A walkthrough/intro screen to get started would go a long way. Anyways, cool project, thanks for sharing

  Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback, I really appreciate it! > This opens up directly to recent images, this is somewhat unintuitive and jarring The reason I did this was because I wanted the users to be able to start annotating images as quickly as possible. I do see value in having some kind of walkthrough/on-boarding the first time they open the app to explain this behavior. Thanks for pointing this out. > I'd suggest making the free version of the app allow you to experiment with this feature I solved this problem by letting you use all the pro features in the upgrade popup.

    I nearly emailed you with just about the same feedback about how the app opens and one's surprised by being in the gallery. I get your point about wanting users to start right away. And now that I am used to your app, I am glad how quickly I get to the photos. Perhaps even a quick toast at least could say : pick a photo to start?

      > Perhaps even a quick toast at least could say : pick a photo to start? I like this suggestion. I added this toast and you should see it in the next release (probably tomorrow). Thanks for your feedback :)
