Pros and cons of Use Your Handwriting app for iPhone and iPad

Use Your Handwriting app good for

Great when u do not like to type. Just write with your finger, no stylus needed and the handwriting turns out amazing every time. I use it to write beautiful birthday messages and post it on friends walls. Looks so cool! Ive told a lot of my friends about the app and they love it too! Only wish is I want the re-order function but not to have it permanently on all the time. Apart from that everything is fantastic!!!
Excellent. Very easy to use. Has many many uses. Thanks !!!!!
It is rare that an app that is not by apple is more intuitive and easy to use than those built into an iPhone. This app is incredibly convenient and useful. Thanks!
Great for shopping lists and to do lists! And you dont have to use the iPhone keypad- you can just scribble it down with your finger! And I love that you can categorize your list! Wonderful wonderful app!!
I love this app! Its so easy and fun to use, and great for making little lists for shopping or making reminders! Its also so cute because you can use so many different colors and orginize it well! Love it!
5 Star. Top notch APP ***** fun. Creativity plus+++++ Thank u

Some bad moments

Purchased this and does not recommend it. Freezes and requires reboot of ipad. Will not publish lists and switching between screens also requires reboot to switch. Feels ripped off.
So... after purchasing both versions of this app, not only does it trash ALL THE NOTES EVER ENTERED INTO IT via updates, but it now insists that I must *BUY* an account with them just to use the app. UYH... you can GFY.
I thought I would try this out, as it sounds interesting. The problem is this app just doesnt have Ads, but has a very ANNOYING Pop-Up ad every time you open it up. I would pay $1 to get an app with out ads, but not $9.99 I would rather delete it and introduce another elated app into my workflow. Even if I upgrade, it doesnt give me any other important features :(
It was disappointing to me. I think children would like it. The lines are pretty thick, reflecting my fingers. The results are reminiscent of Etch-A-Sketch, not what I wanted. Not sure why there are a lot of such positive reviews. It doesnt make a lot of sense unless I have it wrong and children were the target audience. My opinion.
Trying to evaluate this App but iTunes will not download the version for iOS 5. If we cannot get that version, evaluation of the App for purchase recommendation will not happen.
Its too difficult to get rid of the ad pop up trying to get you to buy the full version -- you have to press the smallest arrow ever to get rid of it. And why is it so hard now to press the "plus" sign after writing an item and attempting to go to the next??? I didnt have problems with the previous version. Now I have to press "plus" at least 5 times when trying to go to a new line. Very annoying!!! Please fix!!!
