Of the early available iPad drawing applications, this one stands out as one of the better ones at the "free" price point. The application has an interface that appears cluttered, but is actually surprisingly easy to use and easy to express ideas with. This is less of a 'draw awesome pictures' tool and more of a sketch pad, and if you treat it as one then you will find it extremely capable.
It is also extremely easy to share the ideas with others using Email, Twitter, or Save to Photo options.
The application's strength is truly in its simplicity - the touchable pencils make it extremely easy to change colors (compared to other applications where color-switching becomes a bit of a chore) and the additional backgrounds for word games and dots give the application a fun twist.
However the application is missing a few features that prevent it from getting a full five-star rating. First of all, the application does not use the majority of the screen space for drawing - approximately 1/6 of it is saved for the tools. This design decision can be appreciated (it ensures the drawing surface is the same no matter what orientation the iPad is in) but feels limiting. Second, the application is missing an 'eraser' tool, as well as a way to adjust the pencil width. Finally, the application does not allow "page turning" to change from picture to picture or editing of old pictures. I think these features would elevate this application to be one of the must-have applications for the iPad - allowing rich expression while keeping the app easy to use.
