### 1/5 — ええ…

*2020-02-01*

気になって入れてみたものの、開いて画面真っ暗で何もできなかったです

### 1/5 — Read this before you get the app

*2018-11-03, version 1.7*

To start of you have to turn your locations on to actually use the app which isn’t very good because I don’t want anyone knowing where I live.
Next as soon as you have turned locations on you have to give access to camera and a few other things which is ok with me.
Now you have to press start and then you can pick a colour but that is the only colour you can get unless you get premium. Now the last thing I want to tell you is the most frustrating.

YOU CANT EVEN DRAW WITH THE APP. 

This app does not work I don’t recommend it I would recommend light space AR.

If the developers see this please fix the app. As it is very bad.

I am only sending out this review so people know not to waste their time, I wasted mine so now I’m going to delete the app. 

Thank you for your appreciation.

### 5/5 — The best

*2018-10-29, version 1.7*

I love this app for tiktok

### 1/5 — Doesn’t let me draw

*2018-10-25, version 1.7*

Rubbish don’t download because it doesn’t work or let me draw🙄

### 1/5 — Jjj

*2018-10-24*

This is useless

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-07-18, version 1.7*

It doesn’t work. If you could rate 0 stars I would.

### 2/5 — Difficult to use

*2016-10-10*

Getting the "draw" function to work is completely counter-intuitive and I couldn't ever draw more than a small smudge.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Yes it is. But counter-intuitiveness is for making user draw more than one stroke. We believe iff you get accustomed to draw, it will be fun!

### 1/5 — 何も書けない

*2014-12-11*

ブラシのアイコンが出ない

**Developer response:** はじめに書きたい方向に向けてスタートを押します。スマホ本体がブラシなのでアイコンはありません。指をスクリーンにおいたまま、スマホ自体を動かしてください。オーバーな動きをすると楽しいです。

### 4/5 — アイディアが面白い！

*2014-11-27*

iPhone6+ですが、何も書けませんね…と思ったら書くときは画面に指を置いてないとダメなんですね。アプリ内の説明ではそこがわかりませんでした。

### 3/5 — ふぬあああああああぁぁぁあ

*2014-11-24*

何も書けぬ
