Leave a Review Tayasui Doodle Book
Excellent simple app
I was initially unimpressed for one reason only - it seemed that you have to laboriously erase any drawing using the eraser. In fact you can erase the whole drawing by double tapping the eraser. This is not stated anywhere in the tutorial which is a pity.
I use it mostly as a quick note taker and it is splendid for that job.
Update : the double tap erases the drawing, but when you close down the app it comes right back.Show lessmidlifec
Decent
This app is decent , the drawing side seems to have quick response. I wouldn’t recommend this for artist as programmes like Sai etc are better but if you just want to do some random drawings then it’s okknifedbyakangaroo
It Was Fun for a Minute
iPhone 11 iOS 13.3
I bought the app for $1.99. I watched the tutorial all the way through. After that, I looked through the pages it had and then chose the Pencil and was able to doodle. Next I erased the doodle and choose another page. There’s I choose the pen and doodle a bit. I choose the Pencil again I was able to choose the Pencil and heard all the sounds the app makes but no lines in the page. I choose the felt to next. It worked fine. Back to the Pencil. No go. Won’t write. Back to the pen. Now it won’t write. Felt tip still works. Erase still works. I closed out the app and restarted it. No go. Pencil and pen still don’t write.
All I want is for the app to work.Show lesslwr032

Hi, We're sorry to hear that. We work very hard to make Doodle Book as responsive as possible. If it lags on your device, please let us know by sending us an email at com@tayasui.com Best Regards and sincere apologies for the trouble, Tayasui Dev TeamAwesome!
Hi I'm almost 11 and I love doodling. This app is good to use, when you just want to draw. I'm the biggest doodler you'll ever meet, so this app can get me doodling! Also, I thought there was no free version. 🤦♀️ That's why I had to pay 2 bucks. (With my Apple gift card I got from Santa.)
Thanks for the great app!Show lessWhit 394
Almost there
I really like this app, but there needs to be a better way of navigating to other pages. Swiping to change the page is very intuitive, but this also needs a thumbnail view so you can choose a page without having to swipe twenty times!Gtwade
Easily a 5-star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 App, Thank You
Updated Review:
Thank you for the kind reply and offering to upload my doodles to the Community section since it isn't working for me. That's so very kind of you and I've sent you email with my doodles attached and also an animation I made from one of my doodles that I just wanted to share with you, not for upload, but just to check out of you'd like, I hope you like it.
Thanks, again, for your friendly and wonderful help. You're one of the few developers on the App Store that I can still count on to just be great people. And thanks again for this wonderful application. If the Community section worked better I think this app would be one hundred percent perfect. But, even though it doesn't work for me currently, I still believe Tayasui Doodle Book is a 5-star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 application easily and I would highly recommend this app to others. And I also find that the Pro asking price is so very worth it for all the features you get included.
You guys at Tayasui are the best, thank you for all your help, this wonderful app and all your awesome art applications and God bless.
Original Review:
I'm enjoying Tayasui's, Doodle Book, application so very much. This program is incredibly fun in my opinion. I've already doodled tons of the endless pages available and I cannot wait to tackle more of them.
I had previously purchased all of Tayasui's other applications forever ago and have always enjoyed them as well. But, I had never actually seen Doodle Book in the App Store until yesterday. I'm not sure if it's a newer, just released application or if I just missed it all this time somehow. I'm so glad I found it though, because it is so much fun to doodle away in this fun program I think.
The app gives you all these prompts and templates for doodling, like cute little bear head templates, all sorts of different shapes to fill in or also just nice looking blank canvases as well.
I own lots of painting applications on my iPhone and iPad and love to use them all. But, sometimes it's nice to take a break from coming up with something new to draw and that's where Doodle Book comes in I think. If you can't think of anything to draw just scroll through the seemingly endless templates in this app that will help get you started. It couldn't be more cute, simple and enjoyable in my book.
I also really appreciate how helpful and friendly the Tayasui developers are. I had an issue with the application and emailed Tayasui. They got back to me the very next day, very early actually, and were so very helpful and friendly in answering my questions. So, many thanks to the dev team for this app, all of your apps and for your kind help.
The only small issue I have with Doodle Book, and this doesn't really detract from how great I think that this program is in my opinion. Is that I figured out how to share my doodles with the community, after emailing the developer, by clicking the export/share button and then scrolling to the right of the top level of apps until I got to Doodle Book. But, the problem is, once I've shared a doodle with the community, well, they never seem to show up in the lists available. I figured right off the bat they wouldn't show up in the Popular or Featured categories. But, I never see the doodles I've shared listed in the Recent category, or whatever it's called. I don't know what is going on but it's annoying that I never have any proof that my doodle I shared with the Doodle Book community, actually made it into the list.
So, if Tayasui, would please work on refining the Community aspect of the this app, so that I could always see proof of my doodles being shared and uploaded to the community section of the application, well, I'd be very grateful for that, thank you.
Like I mentioned, though, this issue doesn't detract from my love of this app and my rating at all. I still wholeheartedly would recommend Doodle Book and in my opinion the app is easily worth the two bucks I spent on it. Especially with it having no stupid subscription garbage included. Which, many thanks to Tayasui for being such a cool 😎 and ethical developer and only selling your great applications for one fair price.
Awesome devs like you are a dying breed on the App Store and I'm so very grateful for you selling this app and all of programs for one fair price. Thank you kindly for that and God bless.Show lessJoshua D.
New update is bad
I have used this app very much and it is so amazing! I recommend it to anyone as it lets your creativity flow! I have bought the premium and may I say it is wonderful and for only a few pounds I love it!
But with this new update there are a few great things and a few bad. First, I LOVE the new tool and I just finished a drawing when the update came out and I was so annoyed that I couldn’t have used it sooner!
Now the bad. The watercolour is no use to me! I used to blend it with other colours but now when I change the colour it dries and I can’t blend it together to form a gradient! This is really frustrating and annoying so I do wish there would be a solution to the problem. (Maybe a switch in setting so that I can use blending or not for the watercolour!)
I definitely will use the app in the future but I won’t use the watercolour as much. I still LOVE the new tool though!Show lessHella Jôkefkci

Hi, Many thanks for taking the time to submit this review. We're glad that the new Doodle Book 2 update pleased you. We will take your watercolor suggestions into consideration, Best Regards, Tayasui Dev TeamStrangely stingy trial mode.
I wouldn’t normally even comment on an app when I haven't purchased the full version, and I'm sure the pro membership delivers a good product. But first, in a category that has such tough competition, it doesn't seem very friendly for the company to allow for a sample version that isn't essentially "complete" as a reduced-feature but satisfying app. This is fairly common.
I can even respect the minimalist vibe: you're given a #2 pencil, a blue, ballpoint pen, an eraser and a doodle book to doodle in. It's straightforward and honest. But no color changes? Are we monks? The pencil is quite satisfying for what it is. It looks like graphite scribbling on rough paper. The ball point is not evocative of actual ball point, which can actually achieve quite a variety of line qualities.
And if you're going to have the principled stance of such admirably few choices, you really ought to work out the glitches. At fist I could flip through the pages, but eventually couldn't go backwards. So drawings were lost, never to be seen again. Big no-no. The decision of whether to go pro was at that point, easily made. Sorry guys.Show lessPletched

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to submit your review. We're really sorry about this missing drawing issue. We tried but we can't reproduce the same issue you encountered. Can you please email us to com@tayasui.com and try to give us more details about navigation bug and missing drawings ? That might help us understand what could have been wrong with the App and improve it. Best Regards and sincere apologies for any trouble, Tayasui Dev TeamThere’s nothing there
So I got the app despite the review thinking that people were over exaggerating but there is literally nothing there you get 3 drawing utensils (1 is an eraser) and 1 coloring page. If you want more you have which is absolutely ridiculous I must say I’m disappointed.Acsandley
This app is 😠😡🤬
This app is not worth it! do not get it! if you don’t get doodle book pro , then ... well you can only do like 4 pages of doodling! And it only has 3 things to draw with! DO NOT GET THIS APP!!!!Rosette Little
