### 5/5 — Artsy- Sketch & Write

*2023-05-21*

This game meant a lot to me, I’m going to give this game a 5 star, you should add Cross Stitch coloring books and Diamond Paintings, copy the mosaic, bead arts, hidden pictures, connect the dots,bead sorting also puzzle by numbers,this game is my the most favorite game of all, thank you for the game, you are the best.

### 1/5 — I don’t get it?

*2022-10-04*

So I made an account and it told me that there is an optional subscription but I can access free content without it, so I hit the close out button and it made me make an account again and again! So I hit the right button and it took me to a drawing thing but it didn’t do anything except draw

### 5/5 — Harlie loves this App

*2022-05-26*

My 3 year old Granddaughter Harlie loves using this app she is constantly drawing and I am convinced she will become a supporter of the arts when she grows into the wonderful girl and young lady in the future in fact it I would go as far to say that my children who are doing a great job in the way they are teaching her some old fashioned manners which as a young minded pensioner 
I think Is sorely lacking in these current times the sooner the government realises that youth is the lifeblood of the countries that we all live in

### 1/5 — I don’t recommend here’s why

*2021-02-17*

So if u read the title of my review then you would no I don’t recommend it and here’s why because all you can do is basically for
 2-4 years old but if you wanna do stuff then you have to pay like 12 dollars or something like that like bruh just to draw that makes no sence😡

**Developer response:** I am so sorry this is your experience. We would love to get more details and correct this for you: siobhan@tinytap.it

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2020-12-19*

### 2/5 — Pago

*2020-10-16*

Aff é pago :(

### 5/5 — Love it but...

*2020-10-13*

Not being able to rest your arm on the screen & it recognize only a stylus would be the best. Not really sure if that’s even possible but A child doesn’t know they can not touch the screen with their palm.

**Developer response:** Thank you for such insightful feedback! Please let us know about your experience as of this review: help@tinytap.it

### 1/5 — So stupid

*2020-10-10, version 1.0.3*

You can’t draw anything without buying the subscription, the subscription is $39.99 dollars basically $40 dollars way to expensive and not use able without spending $40

### 5/5 — Tiny Tap

*2020-09-30*
