It’s me, writing another game review— anyway, love this game! Very fun and relaxing for when I just want to draw something but don’t have any paper with me. (Or when I forget my pencil) I used to play this every day…until I started having a lot of issues with this app. I started drawing and then I would close out the app for the day, and when I opened the app again, my whole drawing was ruined! I was super frustrated because the app clearly had a bug, and it had distorted my drawing. I really hope you can fix this, because it made me quit and get a new app. ### 5/5 — Get this game asap *2026-06-10, version 2.10.7* It’s so fun that I play it every day ### 5/5 — It’s kinda laggy *2026-06-10, version 2.10.7* I like it I an make emoji cats and make 67 ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2026-06-03, version 2.10.7* Okay I love it so much ### 2/5 — Matilda.

THAT would make it 💯! -Ella (or Ellhog 3/333suki333 for robloxers ### 5/5 — 5 STARS! *2026-04-12, version 2.10.7* Your imagination just runs wild!

Closed the ad and a blank box kept appearing in front of the same image every time I wanted to edit the image. Totally useless. ### 1/5 — This is the worst *2023-09-20, version 2.10.2* You should be able to get this app for free but you have to pay for everything . . ### 1/5 — App crashes and deletes drawing *2022-12-13, version 2.9.0* Every time My drawings are almost complete the app crashes And I have to start from about a third of the way. ### 1/5 — Vollgestopft mit Werbung *2022-12-03, version 2.10.2* Viel zu viel Werbung. Kinder können kaum die Funktionen bedienen, ohne dauernd den Webbrowser mit Werbung zu öffnen. Klar, die App ist kostenlos. Aber auch in einer kostenlosen Version sollte man sie vernünftig benutzen können. Weil das nicht geht nur 1 Stern. ### 1/5 — It says doodle *2022-11-15, version 2.10.2* There is glitches.
