In-app tutorial about the tools, and how to use them to render better drawings. App force closes, crashes, lags. A few artists on here are really good, but many of the drawings are kid quality...not that that's a bad thing. But not for me. Besides, the app I wanted to use with this, doesn't support it. Uninstalling. ### 3/5 — Nice game,but needs some fixes. *2016-05-02, version 3.1.1* Publishing,coloring,fun fun fun. I love to play this game but I hate the bugs. Today, I was on my account I made a picture and made a mistake. I used the undo button and the screen froze, turned black, and went to the home screen on the my iPad. I went on again the drawing was deleted and I drew the picture again. Then the same thing happened again. This is very frustrating, please fix soon. Thanks! ### 2/5 — Woulda had 5 star but..... *2016-03-09, version 3.1.1* It seems to crash as soon as I try to log in! I've tried everything, such as updating software on iPad, deleting ap the re downloading again, it cleared up apps , n pics just in case it was memory, I also have full battery. I used to absolutely love love love this ap. And just because you have a fault letting us log in through out Twitter,,I'm not on FB and don't want to be so don't try n say to try logging in on FB.. I've tried logging in, it crashes, so I'm now DELETING THIS 💩 ap . (Was a brilliant ap) not anymore !! Time to lose this apps users 👎🏼 Looooooserrrrs ### 2/5 — I wish they would fix it *2016-02-17, version 3.1.1* I love this app but it won't let me access my account on my new device and I emailed the creator and messaged them on Twitter and they haven't responded. I want to continue using this app and having fun but I can do so if I can't access the app. Also the like button is broken :\ ### 4/5 — Good. *2015-12-23, version 3.1.1* I've been using this app for awhile, and it's fun and all but I've recently signed out. I can log on with Facebook but that's a different account that I'd rather not use, I can't log on with Twitter. It just crashes after it try's to authenticate my Twitter. ### 4/5 — Love it! But... *2015-11-07, version 3.1.1* This app is amazing! No lies or joke! :DD But... There's trouble on logging in and it doesn't load... ### 3/5 — Needs work- but i see a bright future. *2015-10-21, version 3.1.1* I started drawing and was excited to share it with other people. Then i realized you had to have either facebook or twitter. Being only 13 years old, I went to twitter and made a fake account. On the ipad, I signed into settings. I finally got into submitting my drawing when, it glitched and crashed. When i opened the app back up, my drawing got deleted. I really like this app but I think you should allow people to sign up with email, and fix the twitter glitch. ### 1/5 — Update pls...? *2015-10-15, version 3.1.1* Uh, I can't log in anymore. IT SUCKS. I'd like to draw, like I usually do. It's been 4 months. 4. Just... make a freaking update... and let me draw with meh friends.... ### 3/5 — Great! However... *2015-10-06, version 3.1.1* Three stars for the concept. Best drawing app. Can't sign in to using Twitter. Authenticates for a few seconds, then immediately crashes :/ Other than the social aspect that won't work, it's good. ### 2/5 — Dumb... *2015-09-09, version 3.1.1* Go on terms of privacy...only kids under 13 can not use this app!!! And I thought that u can post a drawing on the app!!!!!!😫😩👊 I'm 10!👎 ### 3/5 — Emmmm *2015-09-03, version 3.1.1* So this app, I LOVE IT but....................it needs more colors.if you add more colors, I'll rate it 5 stars. ### 1/5 — It keeps crashing *2015-08-31* Horrible ### 2/5 — PLEASE READ MAKERS *2015-08-10, version 3.1.1* WILL YOU UPDATE IT AND , LIKE STOP THE BUG AND CRASHES ### 1/5 — Well.... *2015-07-29, version 3.1.1* I wish I could give a higher rating,the game looks good but sadly I can't even log in! The Twitter login just minimises the app and the Facebook doesn't do anything when you click it!! Please fix this....😕 ### 3/5 — Fun app! But I have some suggestions... *2015-07-24, version 3.1.1* This app is fun and cute to share art, but I highly recommend adding more features. Such as comments, many more colors, less streaky brushes, brushes that don't darken when overlapped, being able to change brush size, a save feature, and being able to change your name and photo. With these added features I believe many more people would be willing to enjoy this app! ♡ ### 3/5 — Buggiest app I have ever owned! *2015-07-24, version 3.1.1* After downloading this app, I fell in love with it, but found out after using it for only about 10 minutes, it will freeze and then crash. It usually happens when I am zoomed in all the way and trying to undo something. This app also does a terrible job of saving your progress. I thought the app data would include your recent drawings, but when I deleted the app and re downloaded to troubleshoot the issue, the drawings were gone and the issue was still there. I ended up getting the flash of a blue screen while using this app and had to restore my iPad to factory settings then recover from iCloud. The app STILL crashes and is messing with my iOS. PLEASE update this app since we are already almost two complete iOS versions above what it was when this was last updated. ### 2/5 — This app is frustrating *2015-07-05, version 3.1.1* I start a detailed drawing that I love, and then the app will crash and I'll try to start over but it won't work. Deleting. ### 2/5 — Great app, can't log in *2015-07-03, version 3.1.1* Used the drawing app to doodle a bit, and it seems great. However, when I try connecting my Twitter account, it says "authenticating" for a few seconds before going to my home screen and doing nothing. Any help would be much appreciated!!🙀 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It’s been more than a year guys. MORE THAN A YEAR!! *2018-09-10, version 3.1.1* It’s been more than one year since an update happened. I have an iPhone X right now... I loved the app, but I can’t use it because of the iOS I have. PLEASE UPDATE IT! I HAVE TO RESORT TO OTHER APPS THAT I DONT KNOW!! ;-; ;-; ;-; ### 1/5 — GARBAGE! *2016-11-23, version 3.1.1* The dangerous people in this world are stupid people who like to pretend to be smart! I CANNOT LOG INTO MY ACCOUNT. ### 1/5 — KAMKWLAPAL,WLOALS *2016-09-13, version 3.1.1* Please, PLEASE fix this. I can't do anything on here anymore, nothing will load except maybe for the people I am following and my followers- and I can't even get back on to my original account (I had to get a new one) and all of my work was on that. ### 1/5 — No option to... *2016-08-24, version 3.1.1* No option to delete account and or old published art. ### 1/5 — Disappointing for avid doodles *2016-07-25, version 3.1.1* If you enjoy creating and doodling this app is probably not for you. The interface is very flawed. It is very hard to save doodles you like. I had to screenshot the ones I liked to save them. After a while it also gets boring to use. I don't want to pay for or sign up to anything so I didn't want to do that. I love the details in the marker graphics it looks just like the real thing. ### 1/5 — Wouldn't Even Allow me to connect *2016-06-22, version 3.1.1* Uninstalling I couldn't even log in to create an account not worth my time or anybody else time bye. ### 1/5 — Crashes when trying to sign in with Twitter *2016-01-09, version 3.1.1* I initially started using this app on the desktop browser and instantly fell in love. The tools are very realistic and encourage experimentation mixing mediums and colors. I've seen some really outstanding and inspiring artwork posted. The problem is the app crashes whenever I try to log in with my Twitter on the mobile app. This is very frustrating because all of my existing work is tied to my Twitter account. Please fix it so I may give it the rating it deserves! ### 1/5 — *Crashes* Unable to sign in with Twitter account *2016-01-09, version 3.1.1* whenever i try to log in with my twitter account, the app crashes! Please fix!!!! ### 1/5 — Hate it *2016-01-02, version 3.1.1* It logged me out and when I tried to get back in through Twitter it would exit on its own it did the same thing with Facebook ### 1/5 — DELETED APP ! ! NO RESPONSE TO FIX BUGS !! *2015-11-12, version 3.1.1* I cannot sign on to Doodle.ly with my new Twitter password. PLEASE FIX / PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS. Have emailed Doodle.ly numerous times. NO RESPONSE. Unable to sign in after updating my Twitter password. Numerous requests to Doodle.ly to fix bugs were ignored. NO RESPONSE: DELETED APP. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please update *2023-07-08, version 3.1.1* Pleasure update ### 5/5 — You can draw *2015-07-29, version 3.1.1* I'm not a good drawer but you can doddle and write and draw if you want. ### 5/5 — New fav app! *2015-06-05, version 3.1.1* The drawing tools really are just as easy as pencil and paper. There are limited colors and whatnot, but for doodling and fun this is the best! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2015-06-02, version 3.1.1* This game is great if you love drawing or doodling. It is really easy to draw on. I can draw pictures better on this app than on a piece of paper! The only thing I don't like is you have to have a Facebook or Twitter to publish things😡........ Then again it is not bad if you have a Facebook or Twitter ### 5/5 — Love it *2015-05-18, version 3.1.1* Love it ### 5/5 — Great *2014-11-20, version 3.1.1* Fantastic, we like the limited colour pallet, it makes you come up with more interesting pictures. Really easy to use, I use it with my 4 year old. And best of all, no ads! ### 5/5 — ممتع و فن *2014-11-12, version 3.1.1* حمله الان ### 5/5 — Awesome app. *2014-10-31, version 3.1.1* Other reviews have said what needs to be improve. I just want to add, how about adding a comment section? Make it more social friendly. 💯 ### 5/5 — Just make an fb or Twitter accout *2014-10-22, version 3.1.1* Who ever is complaining about that you need a fb or Twitter account, just make one, it's not going to ask for any credit card info when you sign up, and it's only gonna take you 10 mins to sign up. This app is a great app, you should try it, and I also believe that they are going to add comment and other great features in the future updates. ### 5/5 — Great app! But.. *2014-10-16, version 3.1.1* So this app is wonderful! Yes indeed, but... It needs way more colors and better art materials and a size for it. Also needs a comment box for the drawings! And have a delete button for the artist to delete their drawing and needs moderators! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
