Pros and cons of Explain Everything Basics app for iPhone and iPad

Explain Everything Basics app good for

A lot of options not only to save videos but also project for later update.
I used this app during my courses, but today it crashes 3 times in 20 minutes..... 5 stars if intempestif crash are corrected.
This is really a nice app for recording my maths courses from the ipad. Only remaining feature that would make it GREAT is palm rejection.
I use Explain Everything every day as a teacher. This App is great and very useful. Buy, try and youll never want to miss again.
It really doesnt get better. Watch the tutorials to see what you can do. Brilliant. Completely replaced my smart board software. Excellent customer service too.
Have been using it for only a couple of months and can already hardly imagine teaching without this wonderful app. The only negative aspect is that it does not support iCloud. So I wish that could be accessed just like Dropbox.

Some bad moments

I want to make use of my 50$ lightning to VGA adapter and AirPlay the presentation to an external display without the UI overlay. Just like the free google slides, PowerPoint or Evernote. Also, the Apple Pencil is not supported (seriously?). Yes. A high end drawing app. I try to refund and maybe come back when those issues are solved.
I had high hopes for this app. It has really great features and is super easy to use. Unfortunately, it also has fatal glitches, and cant handle too many edits. After a certain amount of time, it starts to randomly distort my annotations, ruining hours of work. Also, locking audio or video doesnt work, as both get erased. To top it all off, I have emailed them twice and have gotten no response at all. I would still appreciate a response and a solution to the problem, as this app is otherwise perfect for what I want to do... if it only worked properly.
THIS APP SUCKS! AND IS REALLY BAD DO NOT BUY IT!!! SUCKS ALL AROUND AND SHOULD GO DIE! HORRIBLE, WORST APP EVER, BAD, TERRIBLE, SHOULD GO KILL ITSELF BECAUSE ITS ALREADY DEAD SUCKS SO BAD
I loved this app. Features were easy to use and versatile. I thought it was perfect for my classroom! I spent an entire day editing a science how-to video for an assignment and when it came time to export it...my text and audio were all gone. I went back in to my backups and tried to go from there but every time I exported my five minute long video (which took twenty minutes alone each time to compress), the text and audio were gone. Extremely upset and disappointed that Ive wasted so much time, effort, and money with this app. Have contacted the company but have not heard back yet. Will not be recommending this app to ANYONE.
The new release adds pressure sensitivity with the apple pencil, but it is much too sensitive and makes it normal handwriting much less readable unless you write very slowly. Please add an option to disable any pressure sensitivity. I wrote technical support and they suggested I buy their new app which doesnt have this problem, so not very respectful of existing customers!
Pressure sensitivity must be disabled. App is unusable now because line width is always changing and handwriting is now hard to read.
