Developer Response ,
Hi. Appreciate your comments. :)
Dark mode? Lookout for a future update!
Awkward product
I guess we all get used to certain basic features in the programs we use. I bought this program to make PDF forms so my comments are restricted to that feature. Like so many of the form programs I have tried over the years, it seems painfully slow to create a form. "snap to" is located in the program preferences. Why? I find I have to turn snaps on and off so the preferences window stays open. It should be a tool. Maybe it is and I haven't seen it but, the help file pointed me to the preferences. It just seems rough and unfinished by todays standards. Some things just dont appear on your page until you move the page up or down a pixel.
In fairness, I did successfully create my four page PDF form. Multi-line fillable text does not work so i had to modify my form to accomodate this bug. Export to PDF worked. I have a form.
Not to bad!
I found the application to be suitable to my needs - which was laying out a simple document. If you're looking for templates, then this is not program for you for there are none. It gives the user a blank slate with which they are then able to create from. While it is an easy to use program, it does require that you are not a complete novice to layout and design.
I look forward into seeing what this program develops into as the releases continue.
