SenGram Maker at Mac App Store analyse

Its exciting to see this application make its debut. Unfortunately, execution falls far short of expectations. The app seizes unexpectedly, so save often. When you do your page setup, you cant tell where the right border of your sheet ends until you unexpectedly discover that you cant continue drawing in spite of the fact that the gridlines suggest that theres plenty more room. Theres no scaled viewing, so if you have a long, complicated sentence you wont be able to view the entirety of your work in a unified display. You cant print your work from within the app; you have to "[s]imply prepare the puzzle, save it as an .SGM file, place it on a website, or email it, or make it available in a dropbox (or equivalent) directory, and then open the file on an iPhone or iPad that has SenGram installed." I emailed myself my first diagram project and then opened it on my iPod on which I had already installed SenGram. I watched the "Loading . . ." wheel of death work for nearly 50 minutes before I gave up expecting to see anything. Judging from the version number, "0.9," I think were looking at a beta product born with the view that fastest with the mostest wins. Sadly, in this case, "mostest" doesnt amount to much. The developers of this product need to take a lesson from Steve Jobs: "For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through." This app is a good idea whose initial delivery was quick and dirty. Keep trying, team. Before you re-engineer the product, I suggest you re-engineer your thinking. Grammar geeks around the globe will eventually sing your praises. And if not your praises, certainly the praises of the team that thinks different and then delivers jaw-dropping quality.
