This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included. Bug fixes and general improvements

Fixes several issues with the display of saved monsters.

We added (strictly optional) push notifications, so you'll know when I've added new parts! Also... if you haven't seen them yet, there are NEW HOLIDAY PARTS! We also fixed a wee bug that could crashed the app when placing photos from your albums.

iPad Pro Support

=== Find a tutorial of the app on YouTube by searching for "Monster Maker 2.0 Demo" === BIG NEWS: You can now save Monsters for later editing. They're saved in the top left corner. You can also share them with other app users via Air Drop. With Version 2.0 the Monster Maker is now freemium. But not to worry: All existing users automatically keep full, ad-free premium access forever. If you're a new user, you get over 100 free parts and full functionality. You just get some ads while saving or exporting your Monster, and the opportunity to buy premium Monster parts. Oh, and I've completely redrawn the interface buttons and tabs. Just because. 2.0.2 Squishes three bugs: the one where the app crashes when you delete a saved monster, and the one where you cannot scroll through your monsters on iPhone 6/6+/6s/6s+ and now also the bug which sometimes prevented update installs from 1.5.3 to keep all previous parts.

NOTE TO EXISTING USERS: DO NOT UPGRADE YET! We have a known issue that removes your free premium access. If you've already encountered this issue, please know that we're working on an urgent fix! I'm so sorry for the inconvenience! === Squishes two bugs: the one where the app crashes when you delete a saved monster, and the one where you cannot scroll through your monsters on iPhone 6/6+/6s/6s+ BIG NEWS: You can now save Monsters for later editing.

New parts and a few bug fixes. (The up/down arrows work again. Sorry about that.)

62 NEW PARTS -- new teeth, new pants, new body shapes, a drum kit -- with more coming! (Request one by e-mail if you're missing a part you'd like to see! Maybe I'll draw it for the next upload!)

Proceed with caution.) • Brand new drawing tools, courtesy of Ze Frank's patented Scribbler technology! • As I said, new parts! • Share your Monsters on Pinterest!

The Automatic Backup Edition -- Automatic backups are created as you're using the app, and can be restored if the app crashes. We are working on improving our memory load, but until then this will keep your Monsters safe!

The Daily Monster App will no longer stop the music you're listening to. (Sorry for that!) == My apologies if the app isn't running smoothly for you. I don't mean to cause you frustration. The app handles a lot of graphic elements and generates fairly large images, so it needs a bit of horsepower. If you're using an older gizmo, or you've got a lot of apps open, the Monster Maker may crash. We're working on slimming down the memory requirements, and fixing any bugs you encounter in the upcoming update. Just let me know about them at the support link. ==
