### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER

*2024-04-17, version 1.2*

so exited to be able to bring creations to a new level I didn't even imagine was possible. definitely recommend to anyone who wants to make their art come to life ... 11/10 for me

### 1/5 — Stopped

*2022-06-12, version 1.2*

Your game is to bad😡

### 1/5 — Trash dos not work!

*2022-05-25, version 1.2*

Still don’t work from the last time I tried.

### 4/5 — LOOK at this pls

*2022-05-03, version 1.2*

My screen turns 100% black when I try to copy something and this has been a problem for 2 years based on reviews from 2 years ago. Doesn’t work at all but I love the idea*

*Four stars.     Thank you developers!!!!!!!
You have the right idea

### 2/5 — Ehhh..

*2021-04-25, version 1.2*

The idea is really great but it’s executed horribly. There’s no way to export a digital image onto there so if you have a doodle on your phone too bad can’t use it. After that I tried making a stickman but only half of the stickman appeared and it was extremely thin and faded. Kind of like a printer with almost no ink. Then I tried with marker and it worked but half the color wasn’t even there and it won’t let me erase the extra post it note it picked up for some reason. Like I said great idea by executed horribly.

### 2/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2021-02-13, version 1.2*

Don’t waste your money ... this is very under performed app ... specially the tracking part of ur drawing colours are also not customise easily

### 2/5 — Don’t hold your breath for updates.

*2020-06-06, version 1.2*

App is ok, but instead of updating it for everyone, the dev is now using a Patreon and testflight “beta”. Not cool man. Would not have purchased this had I known this was the path it was going to take.

### 1/5 — No option for copying doodle

*2020-05-28, version 1.2*

When I open the app there is only video recording button. There is no option for copying doodle. Please help or give my money back.

### 1/5 — :( updates are ONLY for Patreon

*2020-05-12, version 1.2*

When I bought this app in 2019, I was excited to hear about the “beta” that Patreon users had access to. It’s much better and easier to use. I was hoping that in a few weeks the updates would be pushed to the app stores. Sadly it looks like you need to pay monthly to the Patreon to get access. Maybe some day us lowly users who paid for this app will get the cool updates?

### 1/5 — Didn’t work on two separate OS

*2020-04-27, version 1.2*

Tried this on my Galaxy Note 10 and brand new iPad Pro, and it wouldn’t work on either. Just a big black surface with a few random details. I’m sad, wanted to use it on some kid education videos and thought since both devices are AR enabled it would work great. I guess it’s time for some more software development
