It’s fast, simple, easy, and quite effective. It does it’s job pretty well. However, there’s one limitation in the app, you can’t use a text and shape in the logo at the same time. That is, there can be only one of them at one time, and, you can’t also not use two separate shapes at same time. But with texts, you can include spaces and separate two words. But, they’ll all count as one object. Other than this, the app is all good and satisfies it’s purpose well.
