Pros and cons of Leonardo - Photo Layer Editor app for iPhone and iPad

Leonardo - Photo Layer Editor app good for

This program has quickly become my favourite photo editor. It brings all the features of a desktop photo editor right to your cell phone. If you get it, I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
Hello, Love the app. and use it frequently. Suggestions, though. 1. Personally, Id like a higher number of possible layers. At least 40 2. Why is it that the brush tool has always the magnifier on when is open? I hate it. 3. In tools/scale I would like very much to enter values in addition to sliding. With sliders, it takes sometimes several clicks to get the right value. 4. And, wow! How I would like to be able to draws lines. Hope you will consider. Flickr.com/photos/tikotak
Leonardo is the only one you need. It does it all. The implementation of layers and masking is amazing as well as having most editting tools. You will love it and it will become your go to photo editting app for sure. The funniest thing is the review that says it needs one thing and gives only 4 stars. In that case every other app deserves no stars. Or the one that says us on expensive because the guy only needed it for one edit. People are ridiculous. I write an honest review to help people to know about a fantastic app, not because I feel like being ridiculous and have nothing better to do.
Leonardo remains my #1 choice for photo editing, especially for more complex work involving layers, masks, selections, effects, blending modes, burning & dodging, and more. Leonardo sets the standard for other app to aspire to.
this has been my favorite app for photo editing and making edits etc but now, whenever i try to open a photo it wont open it from my camera roll??
Great app, but there really is no support or updates, not since last year. Had a bug where having couple of layers makes the app go crazy and when selecting one layer makes the app select a different layer.

Some bad moments

Id rather spend $5 on a plastic wrapper than buying this $5 crappy rip off app. It messes up the size of every picture and the tools are the most complicated things to work with in the universe.
Hey, I have a iPhone 6 and its up to date, I woke up and tried to make an edit, I finished the edit and tried to export it to my photos, it says "done" but is never saved into my photos, Ive tried everything from restarting my phone to deleting and reinstalling the app, Im getting annoyed and thinking this app is a waste of money and time, if anybody can help me please right back. Sincerely, Best_gfx
I used to use this app every day. For the past 6 months or so theres been a bug that deletes layers when you try to merge them. Ive emailed support, and theres been no resolution to this bug. May just be a dead app. Its a shame.
The app is Petty useless - crashes Rother often, Even at essential Tanks like crop.
Theres already been two updates for the same fix but its still not working? I cant load any photo to edit and Leonardos one of my favorite apps to work with. I really dont want to have to start looking for alternatives for it, so please try and fix it soon? Or restore to its state before? If the issue persists you may as well just stop supporting older iOS devices because youll just end up wasting my time. Please have it fixed soon. Its a great app.
Love this app. Its like having Photoshop on your phone. Great value for the price. Im using it every day now. This just might be the only image editing app you need on your device.
