Hi all,

I just downloaded the app and I'm wondering whether it works or not as my demo doesn't start - there's a black screen and i can't force it to change... Or maybe I just don't know how to use it. Any advices?

Sorry about this! The demo has a massive bug in it which causes the black screen to show up instead of the actual demo. We're still waiting on the bugfix update to clear through Apple's review. In the meantime, you should skip the demo by tapping the "(skip)" at the top, then log into your Skritter account. You may also have to restart the app after you log in, since this demo bug can cause even the logged-in study screen to break after you encounter it.

This is really unfortunate, since the launch was so eagerly anticipated, and it has certainly not disappointed. My question is this: I have not gotten around to writing a review yet for iTunes. If I write one before the next version comes out, does it disappear when the updated version gets released? I never tried the demo anyway, so its a non-issue as far as my opinion is concerned, but I want to write a very positive review that will be useful for those considering the updated version.

When the update comes out, we'll want some new reviews for the new version, it's true. I'll be very appreciate of those who take the time to update a review for 1.0.2 when it finally clears.
