Overall it is pretty good, however, it is blurry when I print my page and I could not read it clearly. Can someone send me information on what I can do to make this better. Send answer to hickshayes@gmail.com. Thank you.

Wish that the tools were better on the app. Very limited there. Also that there was a square/box that could be drawn, not just the addition of a circle.
