When you do, it might start off good but over time the app pushes for “premium” or “no ads” IN A GAME THAT DOESNT NEED THEM! Nobody should have to pay 5-6 dollars just because they don’t want an ad in they’re face EVERYTIME they try to send a drawing to someone. Not even that, but the categories aren’t even that good. You have to spend currency (that is hard to obtain/get) just to pick something. What’s the point of the app if you can’t even play it?! Also it slows down your phone. A lot. On top of the space to draw being obscured by its own UI, I immediately noticed after downloading the app how slow my phone was. It was visibly slower and now I have to find a way to delete and/or fix this issue. There’s a lot of major bugs that I think could be fixed if a bit more effort was put into this pitiful game. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-04-23, version 1.7* Fun game to play with friends and family that does not constantly ask for a subscription like others. ### 5/5 — Good Game!! *2026-01-19, version 1.6* Lots of fun with my friends it is so chill and fun!! 😊 ### 4/5 — Honestly really good *2026-01-09, version 1.6* Me and my friends and parents play this sometimes when bored, you don’t need to have great drawing skills to pick up the game, and the custom prompts are very fun. My only complaint is the pricing of items and cosmetics. ### 5/5 — Best game on earth *2025-12-26, version 1.5* Favorite thing to hit the iPhone in years ### 5/5 — Oddly addictive *2025-12-21, version 1.5* This game is so fun. I can’t get enough of it. The categories are cute and creative, and it’s fun to play with my wife (despite her being a better drawer than I am). Must have. 10/5 stars ### 5/5 — funnn!!! *2025-12-20, version 1.5* i got tired of the same old imessage games so i tried this and it’s super fun! nice a different, and no bugs or problems so far. i recommend for sure ### 5/5 — Addicting! *2025-12-19, version 1.5* Love this game ### 5/5 — Best game *2025-12-19, version 1.5* This game is so much fun!!!! The creator is genius! ### 5/5 — Delightful UX app *2025-12-18, version 1.3* Absolutely fuego to use ## Frequently asked questions about DoodleBack ### What is DoodleBack?
