Broke after update, QUICKLY FIXES 24HRS LATER

Half way through making a fightstick artwork and was working fine last night, since then its updated to newer version of app, now when selecting arrange or style for individual components nothing is coming up so cant adjust indvidual layers, knocked to 1 star but back upto 5 star review since developer updated app 24hrs later and all seems to be working again, love this app on ipad and macbook

Developer Response ,

We're working on getting this fixed ASAP. For now, you should be able to select the Arrange and Style tools from the Tools menu, by tapping the brush icon in the toolbar. Apologies for the trouble in the meantime!

Has became very buggy

Used to be my go-to photo editing app, but as of recent there are tons of issues that are apparent in other reviews too. Will be working on a project, switch apps quickly, return and the app has decided to restart without doing any saves which it used to do (this is on an iPhone 14 PM, not an old slower phone btw.) In general has just seeming my became very counterintuitive, not sure if this is to push everyone into their new app and start paying subscriptions rather than buying your editing apps the old way 😐

Previous review: This app is brilliant, I use it more than any other photo app I’ve ever used and it is definitely worth the money. Would be great if we saw occasional new features being added (and a ‘what’s new’ pop up with every update). Would not mind if the features came out in packs that we could buy.

Developer Response ,

Our team is putting in a lot of effort into fixing the issues and we hope that you'll stick around to enjoy Pixelmator just like you did before!
