### 3/5 — How are they this idiotic?

*2023-12-28, version 1.63*

I made my game and shared it. But it said that I needed to pay 10 DOLLARS TO SHARE IT BECAUSE “since children sharing personal info is a problem. Pay this extra 10 dollars so that 1. We can get more money and 2. So they can share Information anyways” LIKE IS MONEY THAT THEY GAVE TO YOU SUPPOSED TO REVERSE BRIBE THEM????

### 4/5 — I can’t make stuff move

*2022-07-27, version 1.63*

So in the video it showed that you can have the ground moving stuff but when I did it it’s just black do I need a box or something?

### 5/5 — DoodleMatic

*2021-03-07, version 1.63*

It is awesome

### 5/5 — AWSOME!

*2021-02-04, version 1.63*

This is an awesome app, I love to be creative and to draw, and I recommend this app for anyone who is the same!

### 4/5 — Awesome, but watch for glitches!

*2021-01-18, version 1.63*

Although it is absolutely fun creating games it is not as fun playing other games that
1. Are unbeatable
2. Have glitches
When they have glitches it is mostly because someone has a crumb on their paper. I would suggest making people beat their game before they share it because then some games wouldn’t be as hard.

### 2/5 — glitchy game

*2021-01-01, version 1.63*

the game is fun, but i keep glitching out of the game and it takes me out! and, it takes sooo long for it to load my game. but overall, i think it is a very creative game!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-12-31, version 1.63*

I’ve always want to make a video game and I love drawing this is perfect whoever made this game I love it and thank you.

### 5/5 — :):D:):D

*2020-12-29, version 1.63*

I got this game for Christmas & I’m only on page 4-I think, but I already LOVE this game.

### 4/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-12-27, version 1.63*

Downloaded app.  Drew a picture per instructions but every time we try to upload it to play we get an error.  Now we get an error even when opening app.

Update:  contacted by developer.  Christmas Day volume resulted in outage.  Has been working well since then.  My 9 year old is enjoying it a lot.  Thanks.

### 5/5 — Yes

*2020-12-25, version 1.63*

Love ❤️ I got itChristmas

### 5/5 — Awesome 😎

*2020-12-07, version 1.63*

Coolest game ever! I have a LOT of fun playing. You can actually draw stuff and BAM. TURNS INTO GAMES. Although for some reason shadows will turn into walls sometimes and it’s really annoying.

### 4/5 — Needs some features.

*2020-12-05, version 1.63*

I love the game and I also love playing others creations however there’s a few things that I would like to be added. First of all I wish I can un edit items when I selected them. And I would like a eraser instead of the normal deleter. And some other tools need to be reworked to be more efficient. Also a suggestion I would like is for the “gold disguise” I would like it so it can change colors. Other then that I would like more options to change the actual game instead of turning off and on gravity. Maybe a hour of code like script so children can understand. But other than than that above decent.

### 4/5 — Good.

*2020-11-30, version 1.63*

I wish you could erase if you made a mistake.

### 1/5 — Fatal errors, not working at all

*2026-06-07, version 1.63*

This app used to work, but now it gives “internet not available” and “fatal runtime error” immediately on launch, even after a fresh install.

### 1/5 — Can’t create a game

*2026-01-11, version 1.63*

I cannot make a game because my camera is inverted and I hope this this has not been happening to other people as well, this game does not get it.  app forever. I mean it so please developer. I did this game fix the bug that makes the camera inverted so fix this bug now or I am deleting this game forever because it’s the worst game I’ve ever played. I’ve already had to play a game as bad as this one so why do I deserve another bad game how other people create games with an inverted camera and my iPad is not messed up so you have bad coding with the camera you are so bad coding. You just coded inverted camera when I go onto camera. My camera is not inverted so why The hell would you do this! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

### 1/5 — Nooooo

*2025-11-23, version 1.63*

This app is a scam

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-11-22, version 1.63*

It keeps asking me to scan my QR code when I’ve already scanned it 15 times each time I click play or create the camera is so bad it is in like reverse or something and it made me feel like I want to throw up most of the time I have to scan the thing like 4 times because it almost always says there’s more goals then I actually put the edit thing is extremely confusing

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2022-05-15, version 1.63*

The Qr code does not work

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2020-12-25, version 1.63*

The app keeps crashing. I’ve tried everything but can’t fix it.

Hopefully someone knows how to get this working or this Christmas gift is a bust!!! :(

### 1/5 — This game is a ripoff

*2020-12-06, version 1.63*

I wish I could rate this game -5 stars. People of the world this game isn’t fun or exciting it is really horrid.

### 1/5 — This barely works

*2020-11-25, version 1.63*

Got the box for my son for his birthday. We are able to draw a game and play it but beyond that the experience is terrible. 

Every time we try to do anything it needs an email and verification. 

Beyond that we can play any games. You try to play a game someone created and all it does is sit on the loading screen. We have fast WiFi abs have tried multiple iPads including an iPad Pro. 

Often we Have to force quit the app. Then we’re back to the MAILBOX with the ‘please approve’ message. At that point the Doodlematic system sends another email for consent so my email is getting flooded with them.  

Also I hated to see all the in app purchases when we’ve already paid for the box in store. 

It looks promising but the experience has been terrible.

### 1/5 — AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

*2020-05-17, version 1.61*

I mean, overall, it’s absolutely terrible, but there is one thing that is not a complete waste of time. Other people’s games are amazing, but they still have bugs. And creating your own game is a waste of time. I tried to make a game where you would have to get to the sink without touching a germ so people would understand what’s going on right now, but they could still have fun. And it said that I needed to create a  a blue goal for the game, an I colored it with 12 different shades of blue! Overall, nobody should ever get this app and it’s a waste of time, money and I wish it never came in to this world. To who ever reads this, don’t get this app. Trust me.

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2019-12-28, version 0.6.37*

Worked great the first time used. When we tried to add payment to be able to share, the app won’t open. It crashes continuously and cannot be used.
