### 4/5 — Good

*2013-10-19, version 1.0.2*

You should be able to change size of the brush but it's good.

### 4/5 — More colours and textures or different drawing tools

*2012-09-24, version 1.0.2*

I would give this five stars if there were more drawing tools other than just the one pencil. The choice of colour is very poor. At least let me mix the colours up! Add a crayon!

### 4/5 — Great for kids

*2012-06-09, version 1.0.2*

This is great for my three year old. We mostly play around sketching things (or just scribbling); the lack of advanced options like variable line thickness is a good thing for us, because that sort of thing makes it too complicated for a little kid.

### 4/5 — Draw for iPad

*2012-03-26, version 1.0.2*

Good app. Like easy access to colors. Would like to be able to blend or have more colors to choose from. Would like to fill drawing more easily and make shapes easier to draw.  Denise

### 4/5 — Great little ap

*2011-12-30, version 1.0.2*

Easy, simple fun

### 4/5 — Hey Confused

*2011-05-22, version 1.0.2*

Hey confused, if you look under the icon of the item (in this case drawing tool) you would of read that it is just for iPad. All apps say what they are compatible with. You MUST look at that or you just might wreck your iPod. Careful Confused

### 5/5 — Great fun!

*2011-05-15, version 1.0.2*

I love this app (especially after I got my stylus), it is simple to use and the line quality is fantastic - though I would like more colors (perhaps a mixer) and something to adjust line thickness etc... But overall it is a great app, I totally recommend it!

### 5/5 — Anonymous

*2011-05-10, version 1.0.2*

Really good fun it's gets boring after a wile but still fun no crashes 
It's free what do you expect but it's a good app for free

You can also look for my other revues on many other apps

### 4/5 — Good idea....needs more options

*2011-04-21, version 1.0.2*

I agree that this needs the option to increase the width of the lines. More colors would be nice also.  It's pretty limited in what you can draw.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2011-04-09, version 1.0.2*

My six year loves this app. He can practice writing his words using this, along with several other things!
 Thanks

### 5/5 — Great

*2011-01-23, version 1.0.2*

This is great for a free app, it is a good draw package and you can play games, what a bonus. Tic tac toe, hangman and word games pretty good for free

### 4/5 — Pretty much love it!

*2011-01-12, version 1.0.2*

I have just downloaded it and I do like it but have some suggestions for improvement

1) multi touch
2) better range of colours
3) quicker response.

 Hope my review helped =)

### 4/5 — Fill in!!

*2010-12-28, version 1.0.2*

It takes fffffffffffoooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeerrrrrrr to color in a drawing, so can you please give a marker option or a fill in option like on basic "Paint" on my PC

### 5/5 — Super fun!

*2010-12-24, version 1.0.2*

This app is fun and simple. I love the Pictionary-type game! Will be just as enjoyable and easy for kids to use too.

### 5/5 — Draw

*2010-12-22, version 1.0.2*

Great game! Plz add markers so coloring in/outlining is easier! Love this app!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 4/5 — It's great!

*2010-10-07, version 0*

I have no idea why this App has such average reviews. It's fun!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Bad

*2011-02-06, version 1.0.2*

I don't like it at all

### 1/5 — Don't expect much

*2010-04-09, version 0*

This app is really basic, it looks ugly and has few options. There are much better drawing apps. It's free so I can't complain too much. But kids might like it.

### 2/5 — Good for fun, but not for productivity.

*2011-03-19, version 1.0.2*

If your goal is to play games or just doodle this app is okay, but for any real use it is not very good. Drawing curved lines end up blocky and jagged. You can not zoom in or change pen widths and the lack of multiple pages is frustrating. 

So, for playing games it works fine, but there are better free apps for drawing and note taking like neu.draw or neu.note.

### 2/5 — Cool and Fun, But Hard to Color In

*2010-12-08, version 0*

This app is great for sketches, but when you try and color your picture in, it gets difficult. It doesn't have a thicker pen you can use to speed up the "coloring in" process so instead you have to use the same fine pen you used to draw the picture which is a little annoying.

### 2/5 — Draw disfunction

*2010-07-16, version 0*

Draw is a great app but I downloaded it and when I open it its  the picture of the draw app but thats it.

### 2/5 — Terrible

*2010-07-05, version 0*

This app has so little colour selection, and even when they added the eraser it's still useless. the only thing keeping it from being a one star is the pre backrounds. the tic tac to is extremly good in the car. i wouldnt
 buy it if it costed money.

### 2/5 — Test yr art

*2010-06-17, version 0*

Save paper play cross and knot here... All for free, so why not,,

### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2010-04-04, version 0*

This app looks cool but it vectorizes everything you do. In other words, if you try to draw a curve it will get converted into a series of straight lines.

### 3/5 — OK

*2011-03-10, version 1.0.2*

Appealing graphics, very limited tools (single width solid line in a few colors). Curved lines drawn anything other than very slowly end up vectored instead of round.

I can see how the interactivity could make this a lot of fun, especially if it had a little more drawing 'oomph.'

### 3/5 — Nice

*2010-10-03, version 0*

Very nice it does what it says !

### 5/5 — Fun to doodle with!

*2020-04-11, version 1.0.2*

It is great for kids to doodle with and can draw many things and it’s  good for drawing games such as tic tac toe, and others I prefer this app good ! But the down side is it has very less color options and other features but it’s a really good app! 5 stars !!!

### 5/5 — Grate game<=

*2016-06-25, version 1.0.2*

This game is amassing   ..
                                        -

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2012-12-29, version 1.0.2*

This is a really good app. It's great for a quick drawing that isn't very detailed. I like that it has different styles like dots,etc. It doesn't have a bunch of color choices, it only has the color of the rainbow. I tried some of the other apps but  I didn't like them

### 5/5 — Great fun

*2012-11-10, version 1.0.2*

Why are people moaning this is a great app, and it free, Bluetooth games are sweet.

### 5/5 — Awesome App !

*2012-11-06, version 1.0.2*

Luv this app ! It's just what you want and is really really great ! :D

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2012-09-21, version 1.0.2*

I tried a few different free drawing apps and this one works the best by far! There aren't as many color options and you can't change the thickness but its very responsive. Most of the other apps I tried lagged quite a bit, causing the drawing to turn out skewed.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2012-03-29, version 1.0.2*

It's a pretty good app,simple and fun for doodling and for playing a game of tic tac toe with your friends but this is NOT the ideal app for drawing detailed pictures/sketches and has a very small selection of colours,and thus this app is better off as a "playful doodle type app" and in that case it is 5 stars,but otherwise for detailed drawing apps "drawing pad" is the best,but either way this is a great app for doodling and an app designed for 2 or more people,5 stars! :)

### 5/5 — Great Apps

*2011-12-25, version 1.0.2*

I Come up with a lot of ideas and jot them down on paper. This saves time and paper. 
Thanks

### 5/5 — A must have

*2011-09-01, version 1.0.2*

It's very very good! It has a beautiful design and it's simple to use! And the best of it: Even if it's free, it doesn't have ads!

### 5/5 — Epic

*2011-08-02, version 1.0.2*

Awsome truly amazing but I want to put them on facebook if we could have a share button to that it be really awsome!
