### 5/5 — High Quality!

*2017-06-01, version 1.1*

I am very impressed with this app, and can't stop using it!

### 5/5 — Very fun and interesting tool!

*2016-10-21, version 1.1*

Well done developer! Nice precision. I look forward to using it in the future. Thank you!

### 4/5 — Great app for writing or drawing!

*2015-09-08, version 1.0*

I'm not much of a writer or artist but I could see why this app has 5 stars! You can choose the size of your canvas or choose a picture from you phone to be your canvas (that is what I usually did). Then you have the ability to use a pencil, pen, marker, and/ or air brush in a variety of colors. You can cut things out of your picture and erase parts too. Another cool feature of the app is that you have the option to share your work and/ or duplicate it.

### 5/5 — awesome app

*2015-09-08, version 1.0*

It’s a great app, very useful and has interesting features 
It’s very good at taking notes I really love 
overall this app has been worth more 
thank you so much

### 5/5 — Great

*2015-09-07, version 1.0*

This is a great drawing app.  There are a lot of features and it is really simple to use.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2015-09-06, version 1.0*

This application is very good at taking notes and doing artwork. The number of tools and ways I can work with this app is the strongest part. I definitely recommend it.

### 5/5 — Nice App

*2015-09-05, version 1.0*

This app contain a basic drawing or photo editing tools. This app really have a great potential. I suggest to have a tutorial for beginners. Worth a try

### 5/5 — I actually really like this!

*2015-09-05, version 1.0*

Great app! I love it, I love the degree of control and everything. Bonus points for letting me select and move pieces. The paper size is custom and can go up to the max 4096 resolution, running just fine so far on my iPad mini. The ink quality is  smooth, yet subtle. It's been a great alternative to Paint for me. 
As other people have noted, some more tools would be nice. The default selection of mediums has been ok for me for now (I'm usually on pen or airbrush), but I'd like to see more added in the future. Overall, this app has been worth every penny. 

Thanks for the awesome app!
