壁紙にして 楽しんでます。

### 5/5 — Fun

*2011-08-01, version 2.4*

4 a free app, it totally earned it's 5 stars! It is entertaining and colorful! It is slightly limited, but probably worth about 99 cents. I do agree that you should b able 2 choose your drawing tool! In my opinion it makes it more fun that a 9 year old designed it! It gets a little boring, but is a good app all-in-all!

### 5/5 — Ok no way fun

*2011-06-23, version 2.4*

It fun

### 5/5 — Wow

*2011-06-17*

Als ich neun war, wusste ich noch nichtmal, wie man einen Computer einrichtet und das dieser Junge das Programm auch noch für seine Schwestern geschrieben hat, ist voll "Süß"!!!!

### 5/5 — Great

*2011-06-15, version 2.3*

Nice app! Great app! Very creative and I think that the idea is cool. Get it because it is free. Good price

### 5/5 — Plants

*2011-06-15, version 2.3*

I love it

### 5/5 — Respekt!

*2011-06-12, version 2.3*

Echt gut gemacht! Der junge muss wissen was er macht!

### 3/5 — Why are people obsessing?

*2011-06-03, version 2.3*

Look, just because he's a nine year old doesn't mean he's a genius. If they tried, ANYONE could make an iphone app at age 9! Plus, he didn't even use Objective-C! He used Pascal!

 The app is ok. It is a simple premise. Random colored shapes run on a cycle. Tap to add one. You can also drag shapes in a line.

### 3/5 — Great job & awesome!!!!!!!

*2011-05-13, version 2.3*

Kids love it very much but better still,it would be good if picture with doodle can be save in the album photo.Can't get  it done with home button???????

### 1/5 — PLEASE UPDATE FOR IOS 11

*2017-11-16*

We love this app and can no longer use it. Please update it so it works with iOS 11.  We miss it!!

### 1/5 — Bit rubbish

*2012-04-29, version 2.4*

Okay, ur only 9 I know but still it's rubbish!!!!

### 1/5 — 😔

*2012-02-01, version 2.4*

STUPID WORTHLESS KISS MY ***👎👎👎👎👎👎👎💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

### 1/5 — Muito ruim!

*2010-11-01*

Que porcaria! Só aparece uma tela, q muda de cor qdo tocamos c 2 dedos, movimentando-os, e aparecem as figurinhas q são desenhadas com um dedo, sem qq opção de escolhas, de configurações, ou qq outra coisa! Nem opção de salvar existe! Foi dito q seria possível abaixo, mas ñ é! Fecha-se o app, e ele começa do mesmo jeito... Ñ vale a pena msm de graça! Tem muito melhores p desenhar.

### 1/5 — Shame

*2010-02-01, version 0*

My daughter loved it but now any time I put it on, it just stops working and a grey screen comes on. Shame.

### 1/5 — Great App til the last Download!

*2009-10-23, version 0*

Just downloaded the latest Upgrade and it's stopped working!!

Was a great App to show kids the iPhone! Now useless! :( :( :(

### 1/5 — なんつーか、

*2009-07-19*

早くからパソコンとｉＰＨＯＮＥ買い与えられた今時のお子ならこの程度のもん作るの案外フツーちゃいますのん（笑）？
年齢にこだわってる方の大半が、その事実をすんなり受け入れられん頭の固い精神的中高年な気がしてならんですわ（笑）。

ソフト自体はお子らしい素直な作りでええと思います、要は画用紙に延々と意味の無いラクガキをする感覚ですやろ。
ＵＩ充実してたら逆に引きますわ（笑）。
まぁ小さいお子を育ててはるご家庭にはあっても困らないアプリかと。
自分はこれ投稿したらソッコー消しますが（笑）。

### 1/5 — Boring...

*2009-06-24*

Gets boring really fast.... It's okay but still not worth the download...

### 1/5 — Not really that good

*2009-02-22, version 0*

I don't think that this app is worth more than 2 stars the people that are giving him 5 stars are giving him too much credit just becuase he is 9 yeas old. 
Almost everything is random in this app. Every time you pick up your finger the brush shape will change and it makes it pretty hard to make anything that resembles what your original drawing was ment to be. Mabe if there were some options it would be better but currently I give this a 2.

### 1/5 — Doodle this.

*2009-02-20*

pff.. Pretty lame app, even for a 9 year old. Fail.

*2017-03-02*

I don't really know because my blind son is great Alonso Trujillo this doodling game, it's like he can see what he imagines for real. I did heard it was a game for the blind but still this doodling game is great!

### 5/5 — 余計な物が無い

*2014-01-04*

使いやすいです。
2本の指でタップすると背景が切り替わるので、いちいち消したりする事もなく、画面いっぱいに書いて、次から次へと新しく書き始める事が出来ます。

### 5/5 — It's great.

*2013-09-23*

Good app.

### 5/5 — Great App Ding Wen :)

*2013-01-23*

At the age of 13, this classmate of mine is still coding :)
He's going on to Open GL and a lot more, and he's far ahead, further than a lot of students his age.

### 5/5 — Yaystar

*2012-11-17*

This app works great I luv every thing about it I used to have a different one but it sucked it kept freezing that's why I have this one

### 5/5 — 9 Years Old???

*2012-11-01*

this is a great app and saw a video on the boy who made it and can't believe theta he entirely made the app by himself!!!  But the app is great for drawing!!!1

### 5/5 — Lots

*2012-03-14, version 2.4*

### 5/5 — Developer Review

*2011-10-02*

Great App For A 9 Year Old, I Am 13 And I Have Made An App It's On The App Store Called " Pachinko X !!" And Believe Me I Would Love To See People  Make An App You Think It's Easy But No It's All Code And It Takes A Long Time !

### 5/5 — Love it. Creative and simple

*2011-08-21, version 2.4*

Download this drawing app for kids of all ages. It's fun and free. You won't regret it!
