Good in theory; nightmarish to print!!! – Adobe Comp Review

2020: Now with a new iPhone, I can’t select anything at the bottom of the screen as it is obscured by the home bar. ??‍♀️ The actual function of the program is lovely and elegant. The gestures are clean and intuitive. Easy to mock up a layout. The trouble came this morning when I tried to print. What a nightmare! I printed to an Epson via wifi; the first sheet worked great. But after that, everything fell apart. I couldn't print any more pages whatsoever from the same document. The print screen froze repeatedly. I tried everything. The job never made it back to the printer. Worse, when I exported both pdf and image to print by itself the quality was terribly low in both. I tried printing on a different printer. Adobe Comp CC got worse. I attempted to print to an HP and my phone completely went black. Shut all the way off. I was horrified and had to hold the power button for 15 seconds or so till it came back on. Basically, printing from my phone was a fail. My mobile productivity with this program is severely hindered without being able to print. EDIT: I cannot upload to Google Drive either as a PDF. That is a real issue that I should remove another star for. But I won't. If you are using an iPhone and you have an issue like mine and need to print something from Comp, here is a sure fire workaround: Never print via image share!!! Share PDF to iBooks, and then print from there. It will be lovely quality with no hiccups. EDIT 2: Another issue I've noticed with this app is that elements have a tendency to move after exporting documents, especially as pdfs. For example, I've mocked up great compositions only to find images or shapes have shifted on top of each other or off the page entirely. It's frustrating. Why do items move around that way? Exporting as an image is a no go as the quality is atrocious. Edit December 2016: as of now this app continues to spaz out when I need it most. I have a couple blocks of text and text editing spasms when trying to use it. Elements continue to move; pdfs look terrible because of this. If these glitches were fixed I would be elated.
