## What is Draw Pad Pro?

Draw Pad Pro helps you capture ideas the moment they appear. Turn quick sketches into organized notebooks without slowing down your flow. Keep everything clear so you can return to your work with confidence.

From first concept to final draft, Draw Pad Pro combines a smooth PencilKit canvas with practical organization tools. You can build notebooks, split them into sections, and keep each sketch easy to find. The app is built for daily creative work, whether you are planning, studying, or designing.

**Organized Notebooks That Stay Clean**
Create notebooks for each project and add sections to separate topics, phases, or clients. A clear structure keeps your drawing library readable as it grows. You spend less time searching and more time creating.

**Natural Drawing on a Fast Canvas**
Use PencilKit for responsive drawing that feels fluid with Apple Pencil and touch. Capture rough ideas, refine details, and keep momentum during busy sessions. The canvas stays focused so your work moves quickly.

**Tags and Captions for Instant Context**
Add tags and captions to sketches so every image carries meaning at a glance. This makes review sessions faster when you are handling many drafts at once. You can track progress without building extra documents.

**Flexible Actions for Real Workflow**
Duplicate sketches, move them between notebooks, and share results when feedback is needed. These actions support iterative work without forcing you into complicated steps. You can finish handoffs faster with less friction.

**Local-First Reliability with Optional Sync**
Your core drawing workflow works without a subscription and without depending on constant connectivity. Optional sync is available through subscription when you want continuity across devices. You stay in control of when and how your work travels.

Download Draw Pad Pro and start building a cleaner, calmer sketch workflow today.

Good

### 2/5 — What the ...!!!

*2021-02-02, version 4.0.0*

Too many steps to open a new drawing. Too cumbersome to edit an existing drawing.

This app needs serious updates!

### 1/5 — No options

*2020-12-26, version 4.0.0*

Had a fun cheap n easy app then changed it and blew it. All previously saved drawing are gone now.  Blew it! Deleted it!
Negative 1 star.

### 1/5 — Lost all my purchases and not working at all now.

*2020-10-28, version 4.0.0*

Lost all my purchases and can’t contact anyone. Web link is debunk. Nightmare.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2020-10-08, version 4.0.0*

I like that this app seems to be kind of free to use. I’ve so far drawn two pictures and still haven’t had to pay anything. That said, this app is definitely buggy.

Literally every time I open the app, the app glitches out and thinks that my pictures all have white backgrounds, when in fact my backgrounds are black. When I open the images, though, it seems to correct itself and looks correct. Still, very buggy.

And next bug is on the eraser... I’m seeing repeating bugs on the eraser tool. First, it doesn’t save the work you do with the eraser correctly. The eraser always look correct while you are using it. But when you save the image, and reload the image, the eraser often had a small outline around it, which looks terrible.

And another bug on the eraser is that, any place where I used the eraser, I can no longer draw in those areas using one of the marker tools. So yup, that’s quite a bug.

If these bugs get worked out then yea, the app could be pretty good. I’m on iPad Pro btw, dark mode.

### 1/5 — Lost all of my work with latest update

*2020-10-07, version 4.0.0*

Fix app to view old sketches
