Improvements Suggested – Microscope Journal Review

I love how this app allows Microscope RPG players to keep a digital record of their game play. It is also handy for traveling players, who may or may not have a flat surface on which to put index cards and other materials. There are, however, two issues which could use improvement. First, when I used the app to create a PDF of the history my friends and I had created, some information got cut off, whether I used landscape or portrait view. In landscape view, the fourth (of four) legacies was completely missing, and in both views, some information got cut off at the bottom of the second page, and did not carry over to the next page. The other issue is more of a suggested change. I was inputting the above-mentioned history after the fact of the game itself, and had gotten a couple of the legacies switched as to who created them. It would be great if the app had a feature in which editing elements after they had been saved were possible. I also tried editing elements (with new information given from elements added later in the game), but could not do so. It would also be great if players' names and email addresses could be edited after they had been created. I had originally left out a few email addresses, thinking to add them later, but I could not edit the player records to add those email addresses. Making player records and game elements editable and fixing the PDF formatting problem would make me able to give this app a 5-star rating, but I cannot at this time.
