Great glitches but lots of hitches – Glitch Lab Review

Its an okay app. It's cool for simple glitching when you just want to experiment, but for someone who wants to do something more artistic, I want more control over it. I want to be able to control exactly what happens to it. I want to have more diverse glitching options than what we already have. Give us the ability to draw out a boundary and glitch the photo only within that area and leave the rest intact, so we can glitch only a specific section right in the middle that doesn't touch the boundaries. I want to be able to control how much information is destroyed to get the precise effect I want, possibly achieved by a slider bar that moves the destruction over by small data increments. I want to be able to select a cutoff point for where the glitch effect doesn't affect anything past it so I can control how much of the picture gets glitched. I want the paint tool to only effect where I draw on the picture, and what color effects it does to the picture. And finally, I want to be able to keep the original dimensions of the picture. The square confines are just annoying. I have several more complaints: 1: confusing layout. The option i will actually use are hidden within an options bar within an options bar. The icons used to represent each function are sometimes misleading. 2: app doesn't auto save your progress if you switch apps. Fix it. 3: photo blending: what is this thing? It is very confusing, and I've launched a full out assault on that function just to try to figure out how it works. It seems very cool from the animation shown in the tutorial, however the actual function of the tool seems to be much more complicated than what the animation shows, and it's really hard to understand what on earth I'm doing. 4: I can't tell the difference from the box insert, box overwrite, clear data, and delete data functions. How on earth do these differ from each other? PLEASE give this app a REAL tutorial with words! 5: Please redesign the app. The 8-bit style is cute, but annoying. The layout is baffling and should be reorganized.
