a
to decide whether it was worth paying the full price.
Honestly, 1,000 baht already felt too expensive
for what I got. I only used it for a few days
and then left the rest of the subscription unused.
there’s a new web-based app that integrates very well
with Pinterest. It’s free for almost everything (with some image limits), works across all devices, and is already very good value. Yes, it’s new and a bit rough around the edges, but it’s improving, and I can tolerate that.
That’s why I came back to look at your app again, thinking I might just accept the higher price. But then I saw the price had jumped from 1,000 to 3,000 baht. That honestly shocked me and pushed me to look for alternatives.
I ended up using a much more cost-effective app like Seshr for just 99 baht. It already covers everything I need, except Pinterest integration—but that’s not a real issue. I can simply use a Chrome extension to bulk download images from Pinterest. Problem solved.
So the question is: why is your app so expensive?
The only standout feature is
Pinterest integration and a simple timed slideshow. That’s it.
Meanwhile, there are features I don’t need at all but still have to pay for:
1. Drawing tools — I already use a dedicated drawing app alongside this. It’s more convenient and has better brushes.
2. Progress tracking — I assume that’s what it is, but honestly it’s confusing and feels unnecessary. It just clutters the app. I can track progress more effectively by creating new layers in my drawing app and saving weekly or monthly files.
3. Some kind of layer system you recently added — again, not something I asked for or needed.
To be blunt, none of these features are essential, yet they significantly increase the price. This is exactly why many people choose Procreate over Adobe products.
Even if your app includes all these features, it’s still overpriced. When compared to ArtStudio Pro—which costs about the same (around 1,000 baht) but is far more powerful and complex—your pricing just doesn’t make sense from a user’s perspective.
When you lowered the price back down, I changed my rating from 1 star to 3 stars. But if your pricing were closer to Procreate—or even slightly cheaper—I’d say 4–5 stars would be fair.
(At this point, there are many more alternatives available, so I still haven’t decided to purchase.
And after this, I won’t be updating my rating again.)
In the end,
I think you need to seriously reconsider one thing:
What exactly are users paying for
when they buy your app?
The update always ruining the experience

Turn on the stylus only option in the top left settings menu which will prevent unwanted gestures

The update always ruin subscription
Response from developer
I am writing to let you know that the issue with your purchase has been resolved. Please update DrawGestures to the latest version and launch the app to access your subscription.

Response from developer
Thank you so much for this review — it really means a lot! 🙏 I'm glad the Pinterest shuffle + timed gestures combo is working well for your figure drawing practice. That's exactly the workflow I built it around, so hearing it's making a real difference is the best feedback I could get. Sorry about the bumpy setup on Mac — I'm actively working on smoothing that out. If you run into anything specific, feel free to reach out directly and I'll get it sorted. And yeah, discoverability has been the biggest challenge honestly. If you ever feel like sharing it with fellow artists or in any communities you're part of, that would help tremendously. Word of mouth from actual users like you goes a long way. Thanks again!
Free?
Really great app btw
Love it
If i could make a request however, could the canvas be unending, instead of the rectangle that we are restricted to? Either that or the ability to resize the drawings quickly. I often find myself running out of space.

Great App, but..
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback. Please note that we do not use AI-generated images. All images are purchased directly from ArtStation. However, if you believe an image is AI-generated, feel free to report it. We will promptly review the report and either remove the image or clearly mark it as AI-generated, if applicable.
Really love the brush that comes with this.

Best Gesture Drawing App for iOS
Best gesture drawing app I’ve ever tried
It feel like a gesture I would draw in irl
Love the update on trace feature.
Very fishy thing is going on in the name of updates…
What a poor soul!!
Response from developer
Ealier it was paid app. In free version you can choose a folder from files library. It will select 25 images from that directory. This app is just my contribution to the artists but to pay the development cost i have to add subscriptions. I dont even make 100$ a month from this app. :D
Awesome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Perfect all round gesture Drawing reference too. Timed, count, session and so on. Nothing left what artists need. Can use online references from it’s own library, Pinterest boards and can use offline images too.
Awesome guys. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great app!!
Response from developer
