When we seized this app, we had to lower our expectations. It’s in a Beta version, after all. Still, it’s kinda pretty, even elegant, comfortable, and above all, it delivers what it is supposed to - a toolkit to create engaging stories. Some of the bugs we have found are crucial, and it’s unfit for an app so simple in its functionality. Yet we hope that this post will help Unfold Creative (and other devs that read our blog) to catch all the bugs in their app and to provide their users with the best user experience they can.
