### 5/5 — Love it!

*2017-04-07*

My 2 boys and I enjoy creating the coolest doodles ever. We can save them to our photos, use them as backgrounds, even print and use as thank you cards or notes.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2017-03-17*

I love this app.  So much fun.   Discovering there's a lot I can do with it.  Only wish there was more colors.

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2017-02-28*

Lots of fun, but if there was ever an app that could use support for Apple Pencil this is it!  I like experimenting with graffiti style art and writing with your finger only gets you so far.

### 5/5 — Doodle dandy fan

*2017-02-08, version 1.3.4*

I love this app. Pictures I can create with it are gorgeous. It's also very relaxing to just have fun with it. I can't stop once I start doodling with it.

### 5/5 — More options please!

*2017-01-29*

This is great fun for my fascination with tiles. It would be even better if you could use a tool that draws straight lines, and also have the option of every other lone mirror so that you can get some nice symmetrical patterns going.

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2016-05-15*

One of the best apps ever i hope it inspires people like it did me

### 5/5 — Me encanta

*2016-04-25, version 1.3.4*

Me encanta Esta aplicación por qué puedo crear muchos fondos

### 5/5 — Xfhfch

*2016-01-31*

Great job!👶🏽I loved this ever since I was little

### 5/5 — THIS APP IS SOOOOOOO FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*2015-09-20*

Lol

### 5/5 — This app is SO much fun and creative!

*2015-08-13*

You can choose colors, widths, and number of dots or lines.  Endless fun. You can save your great design to print or use however.  One problem, sometimes when you think you are saving, you actually delete your masterpiece.  All the app needs is a message "Delete?" before it does.

However, it does have a few bugs.  As I am addicted to it, I would be happy to test it if the programmer is interested in improving it, to make it more stable.  Contact me at websiteink at gmail with Doodle Dandy in subject if so.

### 5/5 — Great drawing app for all ages!!

*2015-07-22*

This is addicting, amazing, and super fun. Even a teensy tiny kid could do it!! I give it a five for making there be a variety of different numbers of lines to do at once, different sizes lines, and different colors.

### 5/5 — Doodle dandy is hectic.........

*2015-03-22, version 1.3.2*

Out of a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 10 best drawing game by far

### 5/5 — AWESOME!!!!!!!!😍

*2015-02-25, version 1.3.2*

When my Dad introduced me to DODDLE DANDY I immediately downloaded it on my iPad.
I made so many artistic paintings on my own and BAM,I was in love with it!
Okay,now that you are reading this I want you to download it right NOW!😃

### 5/5 — Would like it even better with a few new features

*2014-05-22, version 1.3.2*

I would love to see a color picker, redo button, and load image to resume a project.  A blend feature would be awesome. Still, it deserves 5 stars.

### 1/5 — Love it but save to photos no longer working

*2019-02-23*

I hope the developers have not abandoned this lovely easy to use app. I use it a lot in my classes for art on the iPad but now the images will no longer save to Photos. Please fix!

**Developer response:** I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and I'll do whatever I can to help! Can you please try the following, and let me know if it helps? (1) Go to Settings > Doodle Dandy. (2) Tap on "Photos". (3) Choose "Add Photos Only". Please let me know if that solves the issue for you.

### 1/5 — I can't get into it 👎😕👎😕👎😕👎😕👎🐰

*2016-02-26*

The app will not open for me so far. So I can't really tell if it is a good drawing app or not. Right now it is not going that well. I had to delete it then download it again and I'm still not sure it will open for me. When I try to open it its just a black screen then it closes.

### 1/5 — Great potential but...

*2013-09-15, version 1.3.2*

Great app but lacks of basic features such as a undo and redo. Only has an undo. The clear button is next to the save button an a simple mistake and you loose all your work, the solution is to make the undo to recover what was clear by mistake. Great potential but lacks of very necessary features, you can have lots of fun and in a second you can be totally frustrated just because you click the wrong button. I don't like to put much time in doing a good doodle because can be erased so easily. One star for now I'll gladly change it to 5 stars when I see basic changes.
I apologize for my English and I hope you do understand my constructive criticism you're welcome to email me so I could better explained my frustrations.

### 1/5 — Wont let me download it again

*2013-01-13, version 1.3.2*

I had downloaded this app before and then deleted it, I stumbled across it yesterday and it wouldnt download

### 3/5 — Great app but won't save to photos any more

*2013-05-11, version 1.3.2*

My nephew loves this app but whereas it used to save pics to the photo stream, it suddenly stopped doing so. Bug fix please?!

### 3/5 — Help

*2013-02-24, version 1.3.2*

Loving the app, but when I hit save to photo's, my creations are nowhere to be found.  Any clues?

### 4/5 — So....it’s very cool, but...

*2019-01-26*

Nice. Really. But the save pic feature doesn’t work. Otherwise, it would have gotten 5 stars.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! I'm sorry that you aren't able to save your doodles. Can you try something for me?

Go to Settings > Doodle Dandy.

There should be a place for you to grant Doodle Dandy permission to access your Photos. Make sure it shows "Add Photos Only." If not, please choose that setting.

Does that help? If not, please send me an email at doodledandyios@gmail.com. Thanks!

### 4/5 — Pretty fun!

*2018-12-29*

This app is pretty fun to play with. It was recommended in a Quilting Arts Gifts magazine from 2013. Even though it won’t save to Photos anymore, you can still capture the image.  There are no instructions or settings so I can’t figure out how to change the background color. But it’s still fun!

**Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience! Can you please try the following, and let me know if it helps? (1) Go to Settings > Doodle Dandy. (2) Tap on "Photos". (3) Choose "Add Photos Only". Please let me know if that solves the issue for you.

### 4/5 — AWESOME!!! 😜

*2015-04-11, version 1.3.2*

This app is the best drawing app ever! It makes me look good at drawing! In a future update however, you should make it so that you can change the background colour, plus add more colours. Thanks! 😝

### 4/5 — Have loved this app but

*2014-09-19, version 1.3.2*

It is now crashing after 3 minutes. Really frustrating as my children adore it... Please fix!

### 5/5 — Very useful and fun

*2020-11-30*

The only thing I’d like to see added is the ability to draw over an already existing picture.

### 5/5 — Delightful!

*2018-11-15*

This is really wonderful, however, there is a problem saving my creations.  Please fix and I will give 5 stars. ❤️

### 5/5 — I rarely write reviews. This app deserves 10 stars. It’s fun, creative and addicting.

*2018-10-30*

Thank you!

### 5/5 — Puts a smile on your face

*2018-08-07*

There must be something about the doodles that pleases the happy center of the mind. Instantly satisfying and enjoyable. It puts a smile on your face!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2018-05-28, version 1.3.4*

I am a crafty girl and I think it is the best art game you could get.
I love how you can make your one creations and make more than one at a time 🌷

### 5/5 — You’ll love this app....

*2018-04-29, version 1.3.4*

If you love to doodle.

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2018-04-18*

This is fabulous and SOOO much FUN! Anytime kind of fun! Wish the colors were really red, blue, orange, green and purple. Adding pink, turquoise, gray. Colors seem muted. 

I ❤️ this app!

### 5/5 — Lots of Fun!

*2018-02-15*

I really like this app. Sure, I would love more color options, but it is one of my favorite apps already. I like the fact that I can save what I draw as a photo. Reminds me of the Spirograph I had as a kid.

### 5/5 — The Best Thing Since Spirograph!

*2017-05-23*

So much fun to doodle with! It's even more fun now that I have an iPad Pro and I can use the Apple stylus. :-)
