### 3/5 — Saving glitch

*2020-05-30*

I love this app but it’s got a glitch when you save your drawing because I drew a picture I liked so I saved on my photos and I went to look at my photo it was upside down so I went to look at my other photo and it was backwards. I tried to fix it with “edit” but it was backwards so I couldn’t fix it. So please fix this weird glich

### 3/5 — Decent

*2019-05-19, version 5.5*

Quite good

### 3/5 — Cool but glitch is Weird

*2019-02-16*

Great to draw and everything but when I save it it saves into my pictures backwards and upside down

### 2/5 — Meh

*2014-11-13, version 5.4*

It's not that bad, but there's nothing that makes it good.

### 3/5 — It's okay

*2013-04-30, version 5.4*

More easier to write when there's no ads

### 3/5 — Is this it?

*2013-03-21, version 5.3*

It does do the purpose- doodling.
It only has one mode though unless you pay. My suggestion to the creators is to do another mode for free.
Another issue I have is the inability to colour in the top and bottom as there is an advert and a menu so I cannot make it my wallpaper

### 4/5 — Hi!

*2012-09-01*

It is a great app. I recommend it to anyone that likes to draw!! I hope you love it!!!💘

### 3/5 — Ok

*2012-08-02*

Still has ads after you purchase AND it wont open unless you have wi-fi (internet) access. Why would we pay for an app and still have those restrictions?   It is decent for the kids

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2012-07-13, version 5.1*

Very poor rubbish app

### 1/5 — It is a piece of poop! 💩💩

*2012-06-10, version 5.1*

This app is really bad! To many ads. Do not waste your money.

### 3/5 — Well I give it an OK

*2012-06-08, version 5.1*

OK for entertaining kids, but over all, it's kinda like drawing on a chalk board. D- if I were to grade it

### 1/5 — Rubbish!

*2012-06-07, version 5.1*

Very disappointed!

### 2/5 — Ads

*2012-06-06*

I paid for the upgrade, and there's still ads! I call shenanigans, especially since I keep bumping the ads accidentally while trying to draw, opening up new windows and such. The upgrade should include NO ADS.

### 1/5 — What a crap game

*2013-02-16, version 5.3*
