### 1/5 — 不好用

*2016-03-20, version 2.0.5*

不友善的设计，画面凌乱，广告干擾，难用！搞了半天，我仍沒有一点头绪。

### 1/5 — No English instructions!  Please fix!

*2014-12-14, version 2.0.5*

No English instructions!  Please fix!  On a positive note I like the bright red background on a sample.  I would like to use this app-please add English instructions

### 4/5 — English. English English

*2014-11-08, version 2.0.5*

The Apps info says it has "English" version?
Where...
Can I get this in English.
PLEASE SEND ENGLISH
I can't purchase in App because I can not read the characters/lingo

### 3/5 — 问题

*2014-07-13, version 2.0.1*

一是希望增加米字格背景，2乘2就好，方便练字。二是使用中有笔划无法消除情况，需重新打开

### 1/5 — THE WORST SOFTWARE IN HISTORY?

*2014-05-05, version 2.0.1*

Could be. It lasted on my iPD about 3 minutes. First, apparently there is no delete function or at least none that I could find. I went into an options page and when I returned, not only was there no delete, there was nothing anywhere. I was set adrift in a canvas quickly filling up with black, which seemed to fit this particular app perfectly. Delete.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2013-12-04, version 2.0.1*

Nice idea but doesn't take itself seriously.  Intrusive ads and hijacks included

### 4/5 — Art Pen is fun, and...

*2013-10-09, version 2.0.1*

..where is the "Photos Album"? Trying to save drawings but there is no album I can find. Also, I don't read Chinese... frustrating to have no info.

### 3/5 — Good, but

*2013-09-11, version 2.0.1*

No English wording?  No connection to photo library?
Beautiful flow, brush sizes, opacity, colors.

### 5/5 — Nice flow

*2013-08-23, version 2.0.1*

A+

### 3/5 — Lack eraser and more options on thickness of writing

*2013-08-10, version 2.0.1*

It would be nice to have a eraser for correction.  Also, need more control on thickness of the writing.
