Congratulations to Cindy, Patrick Serrano, and John (the John who’s comment was “WANT”). I want to thank everyone for tha awesome feedback that came in. I had a hunch that everyone would like this app, but sounds like you guys really, really, really like it (which makes me happy) Anyway, If you didn’t win Brush Pilot retails for $15 in case anyone was wondering. Also, we’ve updated it to version 1.02 already that fixed a few major bugs. SO, if you haven’t already you can download version 1.02 at BrushPilotApp.com. Thanks again everyone!
