Seems Ok although I wish i'd bought the windows version as the text scaling works (in the windows free version anyway) - text appears microscopic on my chromebook (Why did i buy a chromebook? ) and scaling doesn't work (it does something but nowhere near enough) probably another reason to chuck the chromebook in the bin tbh! Articles in this reference lack useful depth - Additionally, there are significant omissions ( for instance try searching for Key Surfaces) Sadly, turned out disappointing

You have to pay 9.99 is not usable after trial in any way. I don't use it enough at this time. But that price is for premium.
