Great potential, but frustrating at the moment

I had a lot of fun at first when I began using the app, but soon I was bogged down by A LOT of lag. Optimization would definitely go a long way, that and please make an option to transform/distort selections, merge layers, and group layers. I would love to use this app a lot more when it's way more developed.

Incredibly promising and fun so far!

I've been searching for a program like this for ages! So far, I've been really enjoying its current capabilities, as its brushes, your control over the line animation, and power of its current tools is quite impressive. There is definitely a lot of room for improvement, however, especially when it comes to overall frame rate control, export options and export customization, the layer system (it feels very basic/bare bones currently), and potentially optimization (my iPad began to heat up bad by the time I got further into coloring, and I've been keeping to simple artworks so far) to name a few examples, but I have really high hopes for this program as it really nails the boiling line effects in such an organic manner. I was happy to support the developers by purchasing the lifetime Pro, and I am very excited to see what future updates and ambitions this app will have! I am very pleasantly surprised and hope more find it and try this out!

Really fun!!

It is really great by itself, and it’s so fun. I love to make art on a separate drawing app and transfer it to a canvas on here, then make doodles using the different brushes on here. It gives my art more life!
However it’s not 5 stars for now just because it has some issues with brushes and lag, and there could be a lot more with this app, such as more brushes and features. But i’m sure that will come later and it’s not a big deal anyway!
Besides that, it’s great and i’ll absolutely keep using it! :-)

실행이 안됩니다

첫 실행에선 아무 문제 없었지만, 다시 사용하려고 하니 아무것도 없는 회색 빈 화면만 나오고 캔버스가 나오지 않습니다

Has potential

This app has potential, it’s a very fun and cool idea for the lines to move like this. However it feels like the app is still in its beta. It’s very glitchy and you cannot save the brush settings.

At the moment it’s virtually impossible to truly draw in the app. Importing pictures and drawing a few squiggles here and there seems to be the max. As shown by the images in the App Store of ai generated images with squiggles on top (I am not impressed at the ai and if you want artists to be interested you should change this)

All in all it *could* be good if it was refined a bit and treated as a drawing program rather than a gimmick to over lay on still images.

fun but with majorflaws

it seems to lack a gallery and won’t load my art after leaving the canvas. i have to constantly delete and re-download the app if i want to draw again. i didn’t have any issues drawing though but the app has serious issues that need to ironed out.

Personal Experience with Free Version: Good to Doodle in, yet a few issues

So far, it's pretty fun to just doodle in. The options to customize the animated pens available are pretty good. I do like that I can favorite brushes I like to I can find them. Pretty simple and easy to use. Now, I noticed that the app can lag a little which causes the brush to leave ink blots. Sometimes the pen pressure gets a bit inconsistent leaving my strokes light and scattered until I press a little harder. Nothing too bad, but just a few things I noticed. Coming from using other Art Apps, it would be nice to merge layers and change the size of a canvas. Otherwise I'm happy to stick around to see future updates!

It’s really nice but needs improvement

So I really like how it makes the drawing more lively with the tools that makes it look animation, but there’s a whole issue for me about how very slow it is, and laggy that I can barely draw in real time and when I undo some mistakes, it doesn’t undo unless I had to spam it like 2-3 times

Pretty good 👍

I have an IPad mini and this app does its job. It has a few pay walls (e.g. for pens and stuff), but it’s still nice. I haven’t even gotten a single ad when I entered and exited the app :3 And the reviews say ‘your device lags and heats it up) which is probably from a malfunction in your device, too many ads, maybe for some reason it’s not compatible which you should always check, or something else cuz my iPad is totally fine, not even a single lag and I checked if my device heated up- it never did. And I drew in the app for about 10 or so minutes. However I would like there to be one of those protractors and rulers in the app (like IbisPaint) cuz I normally use the protractors to draw heads and if I don’t have that then I won’t be drawing much on it. I also tried to get rid of that jiggle on the pen feature but I don’t know how, it’s nice but I want to also use a stationary pen too. Also I saw and found this app from a YouTube short :D I thought the app looked cool as hell

I have hope

Okay, currently the app is like 2 star material- I can’t add any layers or change the color for some reason? There also isn’t a variety of brushes (premium or free, there’s barely anything).

However, I have serious hope for the app since it is pretty fresh out of the oven at the time of writing this. I’ll come back in a couple updates but for now I’m dropping a “I hope it lives up to the potential I see in it” four star cause in its niche it seems really good.

I’d say more brushes, ability to add layers, ability to change colors and a transform tool and it’d be perfect.

Buggy

The app was very fun and cool at first but like the reviews said, it crashes a little after being closed. It'd be nice if you also added more features like brightness and being able to make your own brushes, but if that is already a feature then well done on that! I just wasn't paying too well attention

Do not get this app, it will ruin your device.

For context, I have the newest iPad Air that I got first hand about a year ago, that is capable of running any software including 3D, so the issues I experienced where nothing to do with my device.

For the first 10 minutes it was going fine, some lag but nothing horrific, then the glitches started. At first buttons wouldn’t work, like I couldn’t access my layers or my pens and had to close out of the app multiple times to fix the issue, then the opacity wasn’t working so despite everything being at 100%.

THEN the lag hit my device like a train, despite only having 5-6 layers and having 3000x3000 canvas size, it was a slide show. For reference I use procreate, an app infamous for the fact it’s so demanding with layers and can lag at bigger canvas sizes, is completely fine with my device using an 8000x8000 canvas.

In fact, this app was so brutal on my device that the back of it felt like it was on FIRE, and I cannot stress this enough, having your device heated to that extent for a prolonged period of time WILL RUIN IT. And will melt parts inside of the device, I’ve had it happen to me before.

AND on top of that, despite saving it as an animated png, the image doesn’t even wiggle, very disappointed.

This app has a lot of potential and I do think that with vast improvements it could definitely be an amazing app that I would use, maybe even for commission work. However as it stands it is dangerous to use for your device and I dread to think of how a lower end iPad or god forbid tablet would cope..

App crashed when I tried changing the opacity too quickly

Exactly as it sounds. If I changed the opacity too fast for its liking it would just crash, which while annoying didn’t end up in me losing anything so that’s good.

Good, waiting for more updates

Please add clipping masks and filters

Looked promising but I don’t like it

Undisclosed YouTube ads, makes you pay to use certain brushes, makes you pay to export without a watermark, app crashes after one use. I was excited to use this app but in its current state I can’t say I’m all that impressed. The prices for Pro are quite ridiculous in my opinion too. It doesn’t help that it does basically exactly what the WigglyPaint website does for free but charges you for it. No hate to the devs, I always appreciate new art apps, it’s just that this one isn’t really for me.

Brushes are broken

I need to spend 22 bucks for app when brushes aren’t even working well??? Fr??? It needs to be free

Potential

It’s fun and has great potential, but the frame rate of the app drops the longer you have it open or if you want to use more than a few layers. I was down to a 5 second delay on my pen strokes on a very small doodle. Needs much more optimizing to be usable before trying to add purchases to it.

Really fun!

I love how much life it feels like the wiggly lines add. I hate animating yet I still can get a feel of it without any work. Such a fun drawing app!

pretty cool but buggy

i love this idea for an app! ive always wanted to make little animations like this and it makes it a lot less tedious. however, like some other reviews said, it doesn’t load anything in after exiting the first canvas you open. is there any way to fix this? i just know this would be awesome…but i wish it would work!

The eraser

It’d be great if when we switched to the eraser and turned up the size, the brush after switching back wouldn’t switch up as the size of the eraser. Also if it had more options with Apple Pencil. My art didn’t crash. Not a bad app
