разочарованна вашей деградацией, что так, что отдельным приложением. задолбали со своими ии. А семейное некоммерческое осталось?

There's no point to the app. It limits you to 2 saves without warning you ahead of time. It acted like it saved my source file and never actually did. Subsequent save attempts were met with shakedowns to pay. Entirely worthless. I used it years ago and it was good. Never would've bothered if I'd known how useless it would be in modern times.

Very helpful and intuitive app for the most part. So much so that you may not feel the need to pay attention to the fine print, but be warned that while it looks like it saves projects in history that you can open and resume work, it doesn't. If your browser cash is cleared, you will lose everything you've worked on unless you saved it, and you will lose all your different layers unless you save in .PXZ format. There are also a limited number of saves allowed per day with the free version, which can spell disaster if you're not careful. By all means, use this app, but make sure you save in .PXZ format after any large amount of work. I would give it a 5 star rating if I hadn't just lost a ton of work and layers. It did help me to salvage some though.
