This appears to be a very powerful tool that for reasons I have yet to understand is given away for free. My iPad mini 5 is on iOS 14.7.
I created a letter-size doc and created a few circles and lines, so far so good. When I try to insert a text box, however, I only get to even see it if I set the point size to 1 point, at that setting it appears as what I would think is about 20 point, which is bizarre. I cannot resize that text box. I can edit it, but only with a cursor that appears to be 500 point size.
Meanwhile, I can zoom out and in, but the zoom setting always stays at 999%. I have a feeling that those issues are all connected, but the result is that at the moment I cannot use this promising tool at all because of these frustrating issues.
I the above issues (which I cannot believe would have slipped through testing but are caused by API changes or whatever) get resolved I’ll be more than happy to upgrade my rating to the 4 or 5 stars it appears to deserve.

Really really like the app, but it gets finicky when you work on a file for a bit. I think it’s a memory thing or something. I can exit a file, go back in and it runs smoothly for a few moves then gets finicky again. Mainly right now for me it’s the the bezeir curves and manipulating the points, things start to snap at certain degrees when I don’t want them to, even with all the “snap to” options turned off.

The UI is pretty intuitive, not hard to find things. There are a few features missing from the tool kit I’m used to, big one for me is a shear tool or a skew tool. I don’t remember there being a gradient mesh tool or an array tool, but I could be wrong. Features do eventually get added if there’s enough interest for it which is awesome.

It has definitely gotten more stable over the year or so I’ve had it. Starting to miss Adobe Illustrator less and less. This app has the potential sit next to or even move pass Illustrator.

This is a great app. Lately I'm seeing quite a few crashes though. Also, I'm now unable to use the direct selection tool to move a control handle independently. If I try to adjust the handle with the Apple pencil while holding one finger down, it now rotates the entire canvas. The other options of the direct selection tool in the toolbar (Multiple selection, rotate and resize) work fine. Double tapping a control point toggles between smooth curve and sharp corner as it should. There's just no way to move one control handle without the opposite one moving as well.
Trying to resize pro move a text box sometimes makes the box collapse into a thin vertical column.
Also, using in iPad mini 5 landscape mode, the keyboard obscures some of the fields where I'm trying to write text or rename a file so I can't see what I'm typing.
Did the beta break something?
