Pros and cons of The Amazing Type-Writer app for iPhone and iPad

The Amazing Type-Writer app good for

This is a very fun app. Ive been using it a lot for jotting down some notes. For the next update, I expect support for other languages and higher resolution cards saved on the gallery. Support for the new iPad is welcome as well.
works great, looks great and feels like a real type writer. The support is on point!
This applicatory implementation bears evidence that the type-writer shall never reach obsolescence. Dispatch to your interactive tele-phone forthwith!
Ah, the familiar tone of being reminded, that my literary plane is about to cease... That was all I required to parton your good company! An appreciated function for your wonderous type-writing-automaton, and quality cardstock, perhaps, would be a selection of other styles of the latter. Good day.
Great application. I love the analog feel of it. Needs higher resolution outputs however.
but i think there should be more space to right on and be able to add a background of our choose(from out photo gallery). otherwise, its fun and i love the font!! :D

Some bad moments

DO NOT BUY THIS APP! Avoid wasting your money on this app. They are blatantly ripping you off. Description states "High quality" and "High resolution" yet on my iPhone 4 the saved result is 600x400 which is absolutely useless low resolution junk! At such a low resolution, this app IS NOT WORTHY of even being used if it was free, let alone charging me a wasted $1.99
I really enjoy this app, but Id love it even more if it could output cards at a much higher resolution. The iPhone can support amazing quality, so why not let this app take full advantage of that? Keep up the great work! UPDATE (Oct 14): App not working on my new iPhone 6+ running iOS 8. It closes as soon as you try to open it. Very disappointing. Repair and update and Ill adjust my rating.
I had to dress in sweat pants, walk all the way to the bank account to deposit some money into my CC thats on max limit. Im so not impressed, and Im refunding my money back although the style is pretty cool
Only 600x400px: are you kidding me? Useless with this resolution.
I know you want this to be realistic to a real typewriter, but can you please add an option to make the backspace actually erase characters? I use this app to make stylized posters, and its a pain to have to start over again because I hit the wrong letter.
I am getting consistent crashes when deleting cards. The "flip" animation in the public gallery is jittery and poorly timed and thought out. Also, I cannot find where the "new aspect ratio" is. It is at least not obvious. Im piling on. Its just very crashy at the moment.
