### 3/5 — Import pictures

*2019-01-25, version 4.0*

This needs to be able to import pictures

### 3/5 — What..

*2013-06-09, version 1.0*

Can someone plz tell me what the tissue thing does???

### 3/5 — Rubbish

*2013-01-06, version 1.0*

Everytime i use the calculator my ipad turns straight of.  $ waist of money

### 3/5 — Could do better

*2012-11-05, version 1.0*

This has a pleasing interface, but the pens and pencils are not natural and smooth enough.

As others have said, it should be clear which colour has been chosen in each tool.

Variable opacity would be useful especially in the 'highlight' marker style pens.

It is possible to save your work but the save button should always be visible in the tray.

A smudge tool would be useful.

I like the wrist guard as a lace handkerchief, a nice touch.

### 3/5 — Good until you use calculator

*2012-10-24, version 1.0*

Good little app, but crashes out when I try to use the calculator.

### 2/5 — Not that good

*2012-10-21, version 1.0*

True...once u get out the app...your work is gone
IT WOULD BE WAY COOLER IF I HAD SOUND EFFECTS WHEN UR DRAWING!!! 😕😐

### 3/5 — I agree with the person below me (at the time I wrote this)

*2012-04-01, version 1.0*

I agree with the person below me but... Not entirely I think the drawing it actually ok thought a few improvement could be made here are some suggestions:

Lined paper available
Be able to type text
The highlighters aren't highlighters! Anyone get me?
Improve drawing experience (see other review below)
Also pictures to colour would be nice if you don't want to draw your own.

Good for a free app

### 2/5 — Average

*2012-03-24, version 1.0*

Can't tell which colour has been selected. Brushes are not dynamic.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2012-03-24, version 1.0*

Could be better for example 
.more realistic strokes
.could add paint 
.can adjust width
.shape stencils
.water colors
.spray paint
.stickers
Just a few suggetions 
Overall pretty good but it could do with more cause it's a color box

### 2/5 — Massive ad bar

*2012-03-22, version 1.0*

A pretty average app with a massive ad bar. I wouldn't bother.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2012-03-21, version 1.0*

Other than the annoying ad banners, lines don't draw smoothly which really isn't great.

### 3/5 — nothing special

*2012-03-16, version 1.0*

It's okay, nothing great. Looks good but the ads takes up a lot of screen (these are omitted from the screen shots but are in the box at the top of the app). Can't draw curves very well and it would be good if you could hide all the tool selectors and change the nib size on any of the tools.

### 3/5 — Dapper

*2012-03-14, version 1.0*

I like all the choice of pens and pencils. Would be nice to have had some pictures to colour in. Like a doodle book with scenes, flowers, animals etc if you don't want to create your own picture.

### 1/5 — In app purchases

*2022-02-09, version 4.1*

Nothing like having a toddler trap in a drawing app… I would be nice if “in app purchases” was disclosed prior to purchase like many of the other apps.

### 1/5 — Gay

*2012-03-28, version 1.0*

I drew something, went out of the app for a couple minutes, went back on and the drawing disappeared. Very disappointed coz it took me a long time to draw it

### 1/5 — Really poor

*2012-03-27, version 1.0*

Dreadful colours, curves are not fluid, even the highlighters aren't translucent and the adverts are so intrusive! Waste of bandwidth downloading it!

### 1/5 — Useless app - deleted in less than 2 mins

*2012-03-27, version 1.0*

I can't believe somebody used valuable time in their life to create something so bad. Not only is it about as close to a complete waste of time as you can find, your creativity is supposed to flow amidst a sequence of the most intruding and irritating ads that are completely at contrast to the apps very badly implemented purpose...

### 1/5 — Not another ad

*2012-03-26, version 1.0*

The big ad banner at the top is an eye sore and you can't give your child the app to use as I'm sure the ad will be pressed in error.

The graphics arnt very clear.
If it was HD it would be something but it seems half hearted!

A shame!

### 1/5 — Why?

*2012-03-25, version 1.0*

I looked at some of the revews on here and decided to try it. went to go download it, it finnished downloading and then it didn't show up. synced my phone and my laptop, still didn't show up. looked at the apps that I have on my phone, wasn't there. Anybody help?

### 1/5 — All looks and no substance.

*2012-03-13, version 1.0*

Free or not, this is a pretty poor app. The developers should have spent more time making the drawing experience match that of apps like Procreate and Sketchbook rather than designing nice looking tool selectors. It's just style over content. 

Lines don't come out as smooth curves but more like straight lines that change angle every so often, creating a horrible jagged look. It's really unpleasant and you can see why the developers have not included any examples of images created in the app in the app store images.

I've seen the same thing in other drawing apps, it's as if the developers have just tagged their interface design on to pre-existing code.

I recommend you download this app then go and pay for a real drawing app and you will se the difference.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2012-03-13, version 1.0*

If you like google and are a big fan of stupid ads across the screen, then this is the app for you. Don't waste your time.

### 1/5 — Big publicity pretext...

*2012-03-13, version 1.0*

Why don't they charge 1$ for a free publicity app ?
Annoying.

### 2/5 — Lines Drawn Are Not Smooth

*2014-10-21, version 1.0*

Nice layout, fun box of tools, yet the drawing lines are not smooth like they are in other drawing applications; jagged edges and no real blending.  The best feature is the calculator.

### 5/5 — Brill

*2013-03-10, version 1.0*

I don't know what your complaining about this is a brilliant app

### 5/5 — Colouring box

*2013-01-12, version 1.0*

It is very creative and fun which I find grate.

### 5/5 — Rojan50

*2012-03-29, version 1.0*

Perfect painting app

### 5/5 — RUBBISH!!!!

*2012-03-25, version 1.0*

I found this app extremely rubbish and got bored with it in five minutes. :(

### 5/5 — Pure Fun!

*2012-03-18, version 1.0*

Fun, fun & fun!

### 5/5 — Simply brilliant

*2012-03-10, version 1.0*

This is the first app that I have been compelled to write a review for. It's simple, easy to navigate and has all the basics covered. Would love to see a paid version to ditch the ads and an import function to bring in images.

### 5/5 — Good

*2012-03-10, version 1.0*

It just where u draw thing u want more kids but it good does not crash ect

### 4/5 — How do I remove ads.

*2016-02-06, version 2.1.1*

Can I remove the ads, if so how?
Love this app except for the ads.

### 4/5 — Not as good as I thought

*2014-05-27, version 1.0*

Some suggestions for this game:

•Realistic effects(Markers,felt tips and highlighters)
•More colours
•Stickers
•Add your own photos from album or other stuff like facebook
•Add texts
•Borders

I like this game,but I think the makers of it should add more 'detail'to make it more fun...

### 4/5 — MEH.

*2012-04-08, version 1.0*

I think it's pretty good but there could be more, like being able to upload a photo from your device and colour on it and I think you should make the rubber only rub out pencil and not pen, as there is nothing to get rid of pencil marks without rubbing out your finished picture!!
