Needs work

I just downloaded Casetify for the first time so this is my initial impression: this app needs work, and theres lots of rough edges. I created an initial case with a few problems, and saved my work and pushed the result to my Pinterest page. Im sure the finished product will look beautiful. However in my second project I left the app to get a picture from Flickr (a site not supported from Casetify) and when I came back to Casetify, my work in progress was gone! And so were the 70 pictures I had selected my Instagram feed for the project.
Touching a photo or a template icon in Casetify serves two purposes: to scroll through the options or photo feed, and to select a template or to drag a photo. The time delay for selecting and scrolling seems to be identical. Its impossible to scroll through templates and photos without accidentally selecting the templates Im touching to do the scrolling! Maybe thats due to the incredible speed of the iPhone 6, but that needs to be fixed.
Another issue is when you touch a photo for too long, little xs appear on each photo so you can remove them. There is no obvious way to get rid of those xs, and you cannot continue designing your case while those xs are present. I found the only way to get rid of them was to touch the add emoticon icon, and dismiss the offer to download emoticons. Then the screen would return to design mode. The same was not true when switching to any of the Choose Template modes and going back again. The xs on each photo stayed firmly in place. If there IS an easy way to turn off the xs, make it obvious! Like touching anywhere else on the screen would work!
The app checks for duplicates as its saving the project. That is a nice touch. Or maybe duplicate photos could be flagged as theyre placed, so those errors could be spotted earlier.
The photos I place are not resizable. If I have borders on my pictures, they will show up in the template. Not a huge issue when placing square photos, but that makes templates with circular masks unusable.
Last issue: not enough male oriented templates. This is a very girly app. Ill have to create case designs in Photoshop and use the single photo template if I want to create cases for myself in this app.
And why do I have to see Hilary Duffs face all over the app? Does she own it?
