### 2/5 — Buggs

*2026-07-07*

An sich ist die App durchschnittlich, allerdings buggt alles, sobald ich auf den zurück Pfeil klicke. Auch bilden sich dann zufällige Striche im Hintergrund, die mit jedem klicken schlimmer werden und sich nur durchs radieren entfernen lassen. Das ist total nervig!

**Developer response:** Lieber Nutzer, wir entschuldigen uns für die Unannehmlichkeiten, die du gerade hast. Unser Team arbeitet aktiv daran, diese Probleme zu beheben. Versuche in der Zwischenzeit, die App auf die neueste Version zu aktualisieren, da sie möglicherweise Fehlerbehebungen enthält. Wenn das Problem weiterhin besteht, kontaktiere bitte unser Support-Team unter support@drawingpad.me mit genauen Angaben, und wir helfen dir weiter.🙏

### 1/5 — Ads galore

*2026-07-03, version 2.11.2*

It takes so long to draw anything because of all the ads. You get a pencil but if you want anything more, upgrade (pay) or watch an ad. I gave up.

### 3/5 — The okay

*2026-04-26, version 2.11.2*

It’s okay but it’s very slow

### 5/5 — I like it

*2026-04-09, version 2.11.2*

I like it it’s just really hard to control on a apple pin

### 3/5 — Not my fav

*2026-02-11*

It’s fun but confusing if I was just someone looking for a drawing app I would not come for this one though I would just get cooler by number as a recommendation. 
It’s fun and relaxing game also this game does not make sense even with a totural.

**Developer response:** Dear User, thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad to hear that you find the app fun and relaxing. We understand your concern about confusion and the tutorial experience. Our team is continuously working to improve clarity and onboarding to make it easier for new users.

If you need further assistance or have detailed suggestions, please feel free to contact us at support@drawingpad.me — we’re happy to help.

### 1/5 — It just sucks

*2026-01-25, version 2.11.2*

It sucks. It just sucks. Eraser, meh, when using the pencil on sketch, terrible. Mandala, just no. I don’t like this app. The functions just suck personally.

### 2/5 — Because I don’t know how to use the sketch category

*2025-12-21, version 2.11.1*

2/5

### 1/5 — Good for nothing

*2025-12-07*

I paid for the LIFETIME PASS, for this app NOT TO WORK. I was CHARGED 3 TIME at about $75 EACH TIME. That is 3 x 75. When I try to USE A PREMIUM TOOL, I get the NEEDS TO BE PURCHASED NOTIFICATION. At first I thought I was mistaken, and foolishly purchased it again, thinking an error on my part. NOPE! If you have stumbled into the same trap. DO NOT BOTHER WITH A REFUND! I have tried, and have hit nothing but roadblocks.

**Developer response:** Dear User, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration you experienced regarding the Lifetime Pass and multiple charges. This is definitely not the experience we want for our users.

Kindly contact us directly at support@drawingpad.me. We are here to help resolve this for you.

### 5/5 — Idk

*2025-11-08*

It is good 😐🫥

### 3/5 — ……… good

*2025-10-27, version 2.11.1*

Nice
