Project Life 4+

I love this app dearly. I’ve made three years of books with it and I’m working on number 4. Becky Higgins recommends keeping up with your albums weekly (Project 52), but the monthly kits are often delayed. It’s February 17 as I’m writing this, and the 2019 Project 12 kit for February is nowhere to be found. My guess is this is partially Apple’s fault with release, but kits should be scheduled a couple of weeks ahead of the month not only to prevent an Apple snafu, but it sure would be nice to start page layouts before the month begins... especially because the Project 12 kits have cute cards for fun lesser-known “holidays”, and there’s no way to know what those are ahead of time. By now, I’ve surely missed some if not all. So yeah. I’ll keep using the app, but this isn’t the first time these monthly kits have been delayed. I honestly don’t know why they don’t just release them all at once like Project 52. I’d pay the whole $24 up front just to not have to worry about it.

Overall this app is great and I use it to make our family’s yearly scrapbooks. BUT, there are a few things that drive me crazy. It’s like the developer is an amateur that doesn’t care about details and won’t go back to fix them. Overlays don’t fill the boxes all the way leading to a gap between border and photo. You can also not remove them at a later time. The additional purchase add-on free form text function doesn’t have automatic text breaks, nor spell check. In the main text line spacing randomly sets itself to -50 and the curser jumps when I want to make text edits.
These are minor complaints about an overall awesome app that I love so much but I just don’t understand how these issues still haven’t been fixed after all these years.

So the app is no longer $2.99, so those of us that paid that fee, should be exempt from the IAP cost of $2.99 for the free form text feature.

Previous Review:
1) Great! Need to remove unwanted kits and re download as needed. It's a great update. I'm loving the new kits. That being said, I have A LOT of kits. Too many. WAY too many and I'd like to be able to hide some or only show my favorites first, some type of sort/filter or a way to reorder them as I see fit so I can access the ones I actually use.

2) And I want to be able to write on any photo and use overlays on any photo regardless of dimensions. The ability to simply remove an overlay would be great too. Currently I have to delete the entire entry to do so if I decide I don't want an overlay. Positioning overlays would also be welcomed.

I'm also eagerly looking forward to the following enhancements:

I would like to have the option of round vs square corners on collages and an option for images to be either be flush or to have the bordered appearance that pages have. Sometimes I would prefer the look of the standard pages with a white or colored border and that isn't available in collage format.

I would love to be able to journal on any card and I would love to embellish cards via the app with a photo layered on a card.

Thank you!
