### 1/5 — Па̀стел

*2026-05-18, version 1.5.0*

Па̀стел

### 1/5 — 【必読】

*2025-10-29, version 1.5.0*

まず、クレヨンを利用しているとかなりの頻度で美味しめの割引キャンペーンやらが来ると思います。しかし、安易に釣られてはいけません。

というのも、しっかりとクレヨンの説明を読み込めば分かりますが、一度有料プランに切り替えると、無料プランに戻せません。では無料プランに戻したくなった場合はどうすればいいのか。この場合、ホームページを削除して一から作り直すことになります。

これはほぼ詐欺のようなものだと思います。私はこれを知ったとき、かなりショックでした。クレヨンはそれなりに有名なホームページ作成アプリだと思っていたので。

そんな訳で、特にホームページをそれなりに作り込む方は有料プランにする場合、かなり真剣に考えてください。クレヨンがルールを改定しない限り一生お金を払い続けるか、あるいはホームページを削除することになるので。

### 5/5 — great! 😊

*2025-10-12, version 1.5.0*

I love using this app to make my business website!

### 1/5 — .

*2025-03-20, version 1.5.0*

Ужас

### 2/5 — 真っ白

*2025-01-14, version 1.5.0*

初心者なので使いやすくていい。ただ有料使ってますが　真っ白に良くなるのでそこにはほとほと疲れてます。

### 3/5 — スモールビジネスならこれで十分

*2024-11-08, version 1.5.0*

ライトプランでも十分なページ数で、ブログを書けば画像も2枚追加されるので画像の上限はほぼ気にしなくても大丈夫です。

他社サービスと比較して色々試したかったのでフリープランでもhtml編集機能くらいは開放して欲しいかったです。

これは要望ですが、スマホで編集できて便利ですが、会社や商品の説明などを入れるとどうしても縦長のサイトになってしまうので、FAQなどを作るためにプルダウンメニューのパーツがあると嬉しいです。

### 2/5 — iPad Pro M4 更新できません

*2024-11-07, version 1.5.0*

更新できず困っています。あちこち機能が使えず困っています。仕方なくアンドロイドのスマホでログインしてますが画面が小さくて不便です。早く治してください。

それが治れば星4です。

### 5/5 — 一生ついていきます！

*2024-10-29, version 1.4.2*

とってもお手軽に更新できて最高です！
このアプリもSNSでつぶやくぐらいの感覚でサイトを更新できます。
昔ながらのレトロな雰囲気のHPが作れるところもたまらないです。
これからも末永く続いてほしいサービスです。

### 1/5 — Too complicated

*2024-09-26*

Too complicated and illogical for my liking. Most of is don’t want to become website gurus, we just want a simple tool to create websites that are relatively feature rich and straightforward to drive. Crayon, is not it.

### 1/5 — 初心者が作った感あふれるアプリ

*2024-08-04, version 1.4.2*

とにかく画面がゴチャゴチャしてわかりずらかったです。
