Noticed there was a new UI update now, but it removed the “duplicate image” option from the image import options. That feature had always been so useful for my drawings, since in some works I needed to paste the same image dozens of times; but now that feature is gone and I have to individually import and crop each one. Could it be brought back? I have used this app for so long, as it’s very easy to use and it has a big nostalgia value for me. Glad to see it’s still being updated, just hope that this helpful feature can be brought back since it had been so valuable. ### 4/5 — . *2017-04-20, version 5.8* Pretty good enjoying it. ### 5/5 — Endlessly Amusing *2016-11-27, version 5.8* There is a new tool or technique to discover every time I open this app. Well worth the upgrade from the free version. ### 5/5 — AN EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD APP... *2016-10-05, version 5.7* DRAWING BOX is a great tool to use. It has many useful art tools and a tremendous number of colors. The colors come in different aspects of use. The brushes, pens, pencils and more are so well presented and useable for many types of art works. Children as well as adults will love what DRAWING BOX has to offer and create. I would highly recommend this to my friends and to others wanting one of the best Art Apps Available. Get it...as I think you'll like everything about it, as I do. MAB ### 4/5 — Drawing box *2016-08-11, version 5.7* What a great program and -easy to use. Full set of drawing tools and a guide book which is very helpful and easy to follow. Definitely worth the purchase price. I highly recommend this program. ### 5/5 — Great tools and easy interface *2016-06-11, version 5.6* I enjoy this app and prefer it over several others that I have downloaded. ### 5/5 — New app *2015-12-29, version 5.1* Wonderful app..just beginning to explore... ### 5/5 — Lots of fun *2015-09-30, version 4.2.1* And lots of good features, more than a lot of art apps. ### 5/5 — Great *2015-09-01, version 4.2.1* This is the BEST app to get if u like to draw ### 5/5 — Very good *2015-06-05, version 2.4.1* Easy to use and effective. ### 4/5 — Pretty good app *2015-05-16, version 4.2.1* Figured out how to save it to photo album This a pretty good app. Not intuitive and a lot of searching for colors and tools. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2015-04-25, version 4.0* I love this app. As an artist I can create and explore different ideas for a painting or drawing. Best art app yet. ### 5/5 — Love it *2015-03-27, version 4.0* I'm no artist but do like playing about with this app ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2014-12-28, version 3.8* I just bought this app, and already I think it's awesome! I'm not an artist, and get frustrated trying to draw illustrations for my stories. This app is just what I was looking for. I am a retired teacher, and I can see how wonderful it would be as a tool in the classroom. I also plan on buying copies for my grand children. I can see getting pleasure from this app for a very long time. I did buy the bundle and am looking forward to trying out the other apps. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Drawing box *2014-12-09, version 3.8* Best drawing package I have seen so far, you get a huge amount for your £3.99 it's going to take a while to learn all it has to offer, nice work guys. ### 4/5 — Loads of features *2014-11-17, version 3.5.5* Really quick and loads of options. Still to find the blender, but this should entertain all ages and all skill levels. 5 stars when I find the blender... ### 5/5 — It's just fun...and it's helping me improve my drawing! *2014-11-14, version 3.5.5* Young and old can just play with this app and produce fun designs and swirls of color. But if you like to draw--and especially if you are as un-artistically-gifted as I am--you'll love the features such as undo/redo, "graph paper," various sized erasers, and the video replay of how you drew what you drew. This app is an unbelievable bargain. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Go away *2014-11-07, version 3.5.5* Ok, I rated. Five stars. Stop asking me please, trying to draw here. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — paid for full but still basic version *2020-05-04, version 6.3* I paid for the pro version yet it has less features than the free. The various pens are missing, the brushes are missing, the animation feature is missing. No stickers, no lessons option, it is missing most of the components found in the free version. It is a stripped down version of the free app. ### 1/5 — Confusing! *2012-08-06, version 2.6* The most confusing program I have used to date! I draw a picture then later go back to it and I can't find it after saving it! The program itself is good for drawing, let Down by lousy menu setup. ### 2/5 — I love it but.... *2014-02-14, version 3.2* Its getting really annoying... I am trying to work on things and the undo button glitches and the whole app crashes. Just recently, I was working on something big and as soon as I was about to finish, MY WHOLE THING CRASHED! I lost what I was working on and it took me forever to draw it. I am very annoyed with this whole thing. Pleas fix it. Thanks. ### 2/5 — Not enhanced *2013-09-23, version 2.9* This worked fine until the update for ios7. Now it keeps locking up and does not work. ### 2/5 — Good app but no more zoom *2012-11-13, version 2.6* It was a brilliant app until it stopped allowing me to zoom! It was the best feature! :( ### 2/5 — Love this app!!!! *2012-02-10, version 2.2.1* This is an app I use every day!! I really loved it. I am able to make really great art work that I print, post etc. however.......in the last few months this app keeps crashing on me and I loose all the work that was done since my last save. It is very frustrating because I put a lot of detail in my work. Please fix this so I can come back and give you 5 stars again. ### 3/5 — I like it but *2016-07-10, version 5.6* I like it but sometimes i will go somewhere on tool bar by accident and lose the last 20 minutes of work I just did.... ### 3/5 — Absolutely Amazing *2014-02-04, version 3.2* I love this painting app, and can do lots of things, but I'm an bout to go for another app....if it continues to just go away. Sometimes when I hit the remove sat stroke, and sometimes just whenever. Plz fix thus bug. ### 3/5 — Navigating through this app is garbage *2013-05-27, version 2.7.1* ditch the cartoons for navigation symbols. Very frustrating to navigate through. Not clear. poorly designed ### 3/5 — Like the tools but *2013-05-18, version 2.7.1* So far I really like the tools much better than any other drawing app. The close-up feature that let's you work on details is great. The pencil is much finer than other apps and the color mixing on the $2 full version is much easier to figure out. The big flaw is I can't find any way to share to Facebook and when you hit the save to photo gallery button, which is a little flower with an arrow...it simply doesn't work. I suppose there is some kind of secret trick to get it to work, by why not just have it save to photos when you hit the save to photos button. And the share button only takes you to share on email or twitter (?). So these people haven't heard of Facebook, apparently. Bottom line, you can make much better drawings with it...but keeping them and sharing the is very flawed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 👍 *2026-07-19, version 7.3* Love the app ### 5/5 — Just; “WOW!” *2024-08-17, version 7.2* Amazing APP with endless possibilities. I am no artist; even my stick figures are useless, but I can imagine people, young and old, losing themselves for hours… so many possibilities for creating things with this wonderful APP. THANK YOU ### 5/5 — An Excellent App *2023-11-16, version 7.1* It’s a great app. The available tools are wonderful. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2020-04-26, version 6.3* Spend hours on it. It is sooo relaxing. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2019-03-31, version 6.0* Great art app for the artist inside us all , works fantastic with Apple Pencil ### 5/5 — Great app! *2018-10-15, version 6.0* I really like this app. It is yr sketch book on the go, exactly like if you were drawing on paper, the tools are the ones you need as the developer described: pencil eraser. The drawing lessons are a plus I like the simplicity it is easy to use. Perfect for what I need. I recommend this app ### 5/5 — great app... *2017-11-30, version 5.9* just begging to work with it... so far so good... ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-09-12, version 5.9* Awesome app it has everything to create great art work. Evening if you just want to use it to color it's a great app for that to. This is a must have app. This developer really cares about his apps and his customers. ### 5/5 — App evaluation *2017-08-26, version 5.8* Found it to be entertaining at all levels. ### 5/5 — Drawing Box FTW *2017-06-11, version 5.7* I love this app! It's pretty much the only reason I still use my iPad. I do all of my art on this app! 90% of drawing apps are horrible, but not Drawing Box! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
