I cant create a New BookOnce I click on “Start a Book”, the App automatically closes. Any recommendations are accepted. Thank you

Everything is goneThe app had a glitch every time I tried to open it, so I had to delete it and every book I had is gone, without the possibility to get back the files.

Muy costosoNo veo ganancias sobre otras aplicaciones iguales, y si un costo muchísimo más alto.

Love itIt is a very nice app, I enjoy using it is quite easy to figure it out and I never had any issues with it. There is just one thing I wish was different, I think maybe would be nice to have more options of sticker and tapes or maybe like a store where we could download different and new designs that…

HelpfulGreat for staying organized. Easy to use

SuperJ’adore 🤩
