Studio Design app review: a social network to create and share your designs
Introduction
If you have dreams of becoming a graphic designer the Studio Design app for iPhone and iPad may be the place for you to start. Studio Design provides you with the tools to create, remix, and share your creativity with the world.

Great In Theory But Not In Practice
When first launching Studio Design you will notice a large resemblance to a very popular photography app out there. The layout is almost identical. At a first glance this app looked incredible. Studio design allows you to take a photo from your library, and by utilizing the multiple frames, filters, elements, and text you can create your own design. From there you can share it on Studio Design's social network. The app even provides you the ability to "Remix" other users designs by modifying their posted work.

I was able to choose my photo, but none of the design options other than the frames, and one text font, seemed to load. Regardless of what element or filter I selected I was just taken back to the frames page, and even then only two of the frames would load.
Please Fix This
This whole situation is really sad. Studio Design has the potential to be a really great app, and provide anyone to get their feet wet in the field of graphic design. When I checked their page in the App Store the last update was on December 2, 2013 which makes me wonder if it was the last update that caused this, or if Studio Design ever worked? Let's hope that a future update will remedy the issues the app is having and allow me to provide you with a proper review.

Final Thoughts
Studio Designs for iPhone and iPad has a really good idea here. It's just too bad the app doesn't work the way it's supposed to. Hopefully in the future the developers will fix the issues plaguing every aspect of it.
