First, WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE THE NAPKINS FOR? I swear, looking at them makes me really confused. There are no watercolors, so the only use they have is helping you draw blind. Second, the erasers won’t go away when you tap on them. It’s so annoying, pressing the eraser button to get rid of it. You really don’t need to use it again, do you? And it’s also really annoying that you have to tap on the eraser button to erase the bottom. I would suggest getting rid of tapping to get rid of something. Lastly, a lot of times, you put the pen or whatever in the wrong place. I always press the right spot, but sometimes it goes off. WAYYYY off. Especially with your thumb. Please find a way to fix it. Note: PENS ARE NOT AN ANSWER. Apple Pens are like $1000, and you can’t see where you are putting the pen or whatever ink with the ball pen stuff for phones and whatnot. And the cheap stuff to draw with, DRAG EVERYWHERE. I like the app, but please fix the problems and get rid of the useless napkins. ### 4/5 — What the Heck *2018-11-10, version 3.2* Like your app but can someone please tell me what the heck those napkin things that say L and R are. I truly cannot figure out what they are. ### 4/5 — Basic drawing app with very nice art desk UI and a a lot of marking variety! *2017-02-15, version 2.2.2* I would have given this 5 stars except there is no way to get rid of the banner ads. I hate ads in my apps! Give us a way to get ridmof the banner ads. For artists, they are distracting and annoying. Despite what some users say, this app work with normal capacitive stylus. With normal capacitive stylii you can't lay your palm down on the screen as you draw. That is why this app gives you a little palm resting place in the look of a right or left hand hand towel looking palm rest. My Adonit Pixel smart Bluetooth Stylus has built in palm rejection and this appeared to work all right/OK on this app and not leaving any stray marks when I draw with my palm resting on the screen. I like this app because, like a few other apps I own with similar functionalities, Color Box comes closest to drawing with real pens/pencils/markers on paper! GIves us a cheap price to get rid of ads and third party smart stylus support and I will give this app a solid 5 stars! I just happened to stumble upon this app in the iOS App Store and thought this app just looked real cool to try and use! I wasn't disappointed at all! ### 4/5 — Beautiful app *2016-11-04, version 2.2.2* This is a beautiful app with a lot of options. Its very easy to use. The only problem is there isn't shading ability with the Apple Pencil. It would be nice to see. Otherwise it's great. ### 3/5 — Crashes a lot *2016-08-10, version 2.2.1* I can't finish anything with this app without it crashing. It's really good but I can't do anything without it crashing. ### 3/5 — What the! *2015-03-14, version 2.0* I can barely even move my fingers and everything that I do turns out not how I wanted. ### 3/5 — Eh 😕 *2015-02-05, version 2.0* Wish it could import photos from my camera roll. ### 4/5 — Scientific calculator please!!!!! *2014-11-09, version 1.0* It would be perfect if it's calculator had sin, cos, tan, etc. and pi and ^x and square root etc. that's EXACTLY what I'm looking for and would be willing to pay for... ### 3/5 — Good app, but... *2014-10-07, version 1.0* This is a good artist app. Just good - not great. There's a good selection of colors and tools, but it would help so much if the sizes could be adjusted. I don't want to use the colored pencils because the pencil size is way too thin; it'd take me forever to color in a picture like that. It'd help, too, if we knew what color we were working with (with some artist apps, the chosen pencil color will move down.) And I don't understand what the napkins are for at all. ### 2/5 — Very basic *2013-11-24, version 1.0* It's ok. Not very smooth. The color shows a second or 2 later, it's not immediately. ### 4/5 — Cool app *2013-09-27, version 1.0* Its a great app but since the iOS 7 update the app is responding slowly whenever i use my finger to draw something ### 3/5 — Nice drawing app *2013-09-15, version 1.0* I like the app it should be four star except for the advertising banners Wow, they are really distracting with constant moving and flashing. No way around it makes the app annoying. ### 3/5 — Needs an undo button *2013-09-04, version 1.0* Needs an undo button ### 4/5 — Nice app *2013-07-28, version 1.0* For those who love art and drawing and the wonders of colors. Just one problem, when I use the calculator it crashes. Please fix it. Thank you :) ### 4/5 — Fun and flexible *2013-06-19, version 1.0* I would agree that a smudge tool for the pencils would be a very welcome addition. Having said that, I found this to be a lot of fun, and I was impressed with the number of tools included. The non-artist in me would like an "undo" as well, but that's cheating. Oh, and since it can save to the camera roll it would be nice if you could reload and work some more on a picture. But the reality is that I think it deserved 4 stars just the way it is. ### 4/5 — Can Improve. *2013-04-14, version 1.0* I found that it had very useful features, but there were some problems. For one, I can't tell if I've chosen the tool I clicked on. Please fix that. Make it bigger or stand out from the rest of them. It would be nice to be able to change the thickness of the tools. If there is an update with any of these changes, I'll be sure to upload it. But until then, great job with all you've done. A family member of mine makes their own programs and apps. As such, they always stress the consumer's responsibility to give feedback, and I hope my feedback will be noted. So again, great job. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unhappy *2014-08-08, version 1.0* Seems like there's a glitch in the App ### 1/5 — Annoying Ads *2013-08-14, version 1.0* I bought this some time ago, and never noticed the annoying ads; now, I have a major use for the app, but I can't tolerate the ad bar. Can I pay more money to have it disappear? ### 1/5 — Not that great. *2013-07-12, version 1.0* I was surprised with the positive ratings. The quality is poor. I normally don't write reviews but this one just made me. It doesn't let you know what tools you're currently using, so I get confused. The tools are really bad. ### 1/5 — Meh *2013-06-22, version 1.0* Not much to offer. The color pencils and the markers...only difference is how thick the line is, not realistic at all. I deleted it about a minute later. ### 1/5 — X *2013-03-16, version 1.0* Really clunky graphics. ### 1/5 — Negative star *2013-01-08, version 1.0* Boring ### 1/5 — Really *2012-12-19, version 1.0* Did not get it is not even neat when you draw anything zzzzzz..... Boring ### 1/5 — What!?! *2012-03-13, version 1.0* I downloaded this app but it never showed up in my home screen! I think it's a cool idea, but I can't get to it. I doesn't even show it's in mid download, it just isn't to be found. The purchase button says installed, so I can't try to get it again... Sad face. ### 2/5 — STYLUS!!!😡😡😡 *2015-01-05, version 2.0* This app is ok, except that it is not compatible with a stylus. I wanted to draw maps, but it's impossible with my fingers.😭 ### 2/5 — Windows paint *2014-01-29, version 1.0* The array of drawing utensils unfortunately only vary in thickness and color. Does not give a layering effect, and lines are heavily pixelated. Could be fun for a kid though. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app! Install it *2020-06-08, version 4.1* This is a really great app! If your wondering what L and R are for it is like if your hands hurt you place them without messing up your drawing, although I recommend you to make the color pencils higher quality if not it’s fine I really love this app ### 5/5 — No In-app purchases?! *2016-07-04, version 2.2.1* That's amazing the app is so fun and cool! Realistic tools!!! I love it best art game ever!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-04-09, version 2.2.1* Blending and blur tool please? And the ability to zoom in and out vectorized if you can and multiple layers? ### 5/5 — Color Box HD *2015-12-20, version 2.2.1* This is one of the best art apps I have ever gotten on my iPad. It has many excellent features, wonderful and numerous colors available in different mediums and great brushes to use. It even has frames galore to off...and background choices too. On the reverse side there is a numbered list with a little sketch and an explanation as to what each item can be used for. It's extremely helpful. At first it can be a bit confusing, but honest--once you understand what everything is to be used for--you will definitely be on your way to creating any painting/drawing and/or sketch you want. I would definitely recommend this excellent app. Get it for sure...try it...and you will like it a lot. I'd rate it much higher than five stars it is so good. A very satisfied customer! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2015-03-28, version 2.0* So awesome game becase it have all colors and pencilce and more ### 5/5 — Awesome *2015-02-03, version 2.0* Love the app :) ### 5/5 — Billyslinky *2013-09-29, version 1.0* This app is awesome but I notice it lags I hope there will be a update of fixing bugs 8-) ### 5/5 — Good app *2012-11-25, version 1.0* I was looking for an app as great as this, but one thing, there could have been options to change sizes and customize colors, and maybe add a picture or background, because I take over half an hour to color my background one color. And the ads get annoying sometimes, I touch it with my hand by accident and my picture is ruined. Is there a way to remove it? Pay? I want to. ### 5/5 — The napkins!!! *2012-10-03, version 1.0* Their there so when u draw and place ur hand on the screen and use a stylist ur palm is not picked up!!! How dumb do u have to be to ask? It's super obvious!!! Like when u draw with pencil on real paper u place it over ur drawing so u don't smear or add oils to ur drawing!!! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2012-08-17, version 1.0* Finally! Something simple and easy yet great tools!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
