Known issues

• Drawings are not rendered in the correct userInterfaceStyle (when starting the app)
• iCloud synchronization is not fast enough (documents are not uploaded directly)
• Animation of CollectionViewCells (Deleting, Inserting...) not implemented
• Deleting items takes too much time
• If removing items from collectionview, certain thumbnails were not shown correctly
• Changing the userInterface style will not affect upcoming application-scenes
• As the ViewControllers widths shrunk the PencilKit Toolbar removes the forward/backwards button
