### 4/5 — Ummm…

*2026-09-01, version 3.2.0*

I Like it and I use it to make books but it crashes and I lose my progress sometimes 😢😤

### 3/5 — Changes

*2026-08-25, version 3.2.0*

I used to play all the time but I stopped for a little and then when I came back there were no texts or stickers so I haven't been playing at all so please do this or add more options like this please

### 5/5 — Noice

*2026-08-08, version 3.2.0*

I love it

### 2/5 — WHY!?!?

*2026-08-06, version 3.2.0*

This is just ridiculous, I have to pay to save my drawing and the little drawing items are really nice but sometimes they disappear and don’t come back until I reset the app which deletes my drawing!

### 5/5 — GOOD

*2026-07-07, version 3.2.0*

IMAGINE IF THE DEVELOPER RESPONDS TO THIS REVIEW, BECAUSE I LOVE THIS APP, AND I USE IT TO MAKE MY ALBUM COVERS!!!

### 5/5 — Really good app but....

*2026-07-05, version 3.2.0*

I love this app! There is some things you could add like:  3-D models, more pens and a way to animate your drawings. I know there is doodle pro but I don't have it so idk what is different. 
This is a really good app and I would recommend but it would be good if some of these feturures were... featured, if you know what I mean. 

Edit: there's also this bug where the colour palette freezes so the only way to change the color is if you delete the drawing that you spent 5 hours doing 😞
Please fix this
