Pros and cons of TypeDrawing app for iPhone and iPad

TypeDrawing app good for

Excellent value and top marks for the iPhone / iPod touch version of your original idea. This is a great "arty" way to communicate an emotion, rant, or just the thought of the day. Keep the updated and expansions coming!
Macht total Spaß!!! Spitzenapp - total kreativ, funktioniert einwandfrei, fürs Geld total prima! Sehr empfehlenswert!!!
That Thing that you can start with the first Letter is much better when you can Switch it on or off.
it does not open anymore since the last update :( i just miss some features: 1.please make it possible to save the results in a bigger size!!! (like 1024x764). because now its only 480x320 and thats just way too small, to have a nice and sharp pic in the end. 2.some more coloures and fonts would be nice too! 3. and the possibility to eather start the sentence always again when you start painting, or follow the sentence where it was when i made i break while drawing. then you will get the 5 stars! thanks very much for the nice update!!! just one more whish...to choose a larger format save size at least 1024-768 ,please :) now the 5 stars for a super nice app!
Would love to have the option to move the typo layer once it has been painted.
Would be better if there are more options such as font color and overall size adjustment. Also, it would be better if other languages also show up properly. Looking forward to the update!

Some bad moments

I really want to give an honest review and enjoy this app as much as some other people do but it lacks a quick how-to with the features in the app. Youre left to blindly tap around hoping youll figure it out. Also, there is no option to save an image to camera roll. I mainly got this app to watermark my photos and use them on Instagram. Lame.
I purchased this app when I had my iPhone 6 and I loved it!!! Now I cant even use it!! It wont save to my camera roll. The app closes when I try to. Also, it makes my pictures look horrible when I load them into this app. So sad!!! Please fix this!!!!
It was perfect and loved this app until update iOS 10. Still can put watermark but when I hit the save icon this app shutdown and unable to save the pics.
Im L-O-V-I-N-G this app! Well, I love the concept... One major drawback: the output quality is kinda low... Please improve the output quality! If not, then the app is just not that exceptional.  Also, an eraser tool would be really useful.
Why does it RUIN my picture size?!?!?! 1/2 of my photo Im trying to type draw on is missing! Also the app permanently resizes the photo and may even change it to landscape or vice versa. SO extremely annoying since it makes it so I cant use the finished product therefore the app becomes useless. BUT I do love the type draw feature therefore PLEASE fix this asap!!!!!
Please fix app so that it doesnt crop photos!! Thank u Love the concept of this app. Its awesome. You can get really creative with this app n do a lot!! Its a lot of fun!! Only downfall when I save the images the text is not clear it gets a little blurry. Please fix or give a high resolution option to save to photo gallery not iTunes. Another problem it cuts/crops photos on its own. We should have the option to resize image to fit so we dont lose the sides of our pictures. Please fix. :) One suggestion would it be possible to pic a few colors for the text at once. Similar to the random option but u get to specifically pic two, or three base colors. Ex. Pink n blue n it would type those colors randomly. Other than those small fixes its great. Dont need to buy the full version only diff is saving options but no option to save high resolution straight to photo gallery. Only option to save to iTunes.
