We drew pictures of each-other and then showed each-other what it looked like . And saving paper is nice too . ### 2/5 — Disappointing... *2026-08-19, version 15.6* It looks so appealing as fun. But. You can only draw for THREE DAYS. Free download, making people THINK its free... BUT. You have to pay to draw when the THREE FRICKING DAYS are over. Just...no. Scam, do NOT dowload! ### 2/5 — I didn’t even get to draw *2026-08-12, version 15.5* When I got in the app, it immediately kicked me out. I don’t know why and bro, I couldn’t even you are one thing not even a line and you have to go on a freeTrial I just don’t consider you get this app ### 2/5 — forces me to use pro *2026-08-05, version 15.5* when i was doing the signup stuff it got to the lite or pro option and when i selected lite there was no continue button but there was a "Try for free" button on the pro side, i decided i wasnt having it and deleted the app, probably could be pretty useful but im not using an app that forces me to use the costly version, why not just make it cost money? ### 2/5 — Not a starter *2026-08-02, version 15.5* Feels hard and colors are minimal, don’t recommend it as starter drawing app. ### 4/5 — Perfect *2026-08-01, version 15.5* It is so calming,relaxing and it helps with stress I feel like a new person after using the app. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2026-07-31* The app it’s self is good, but very expensive ### 1/5 — I DO NOT RECOMMEND!! *2026-07-30, version 15.5* There’s many reasons to why this app is bad but first of all paying, why do we have to pay just to draw. I don’t like that ### 1/5 — Horrible app 1 star *2026-07-30, version 15.5* This app is horrible it would NOT let me draw and i was forced to do a 3 day trial and it is just stupid ### 1/5 — 😡🤬😠 *2026-07-29, version 15.5* Why can’t I have a free app why do I need to pay ### 1/5 — WORST APP DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!!!!!! *2026-07-28, version 15.5* Have to take a 10 minute survey about myself to find out you only get a 3 day free trial to draw. I just wanted to draw. Worst app do not download. ### 1/5 — CAN'T EVEN DRAW FOR FREE *2026-07-27, version 15.5* bro i can't even breathe and will ask me for trial. When i pressed the X it literally asked why didn't i do it and tried to force me to do it anyway ### 1/5 — It sucks *2026-07-27, version 15.5* Hi, I’m an artist and basically what I’m trying to tell you is that you shouldn’t use this you shouldn’t use it at all if you do or you’re thinking about it I would like you to know it sucks. It’s terrible. I don’t know why it has such a high review because it sucks and you shouldn’t have to pay to do art. Just use paper. ### 2/5 — Paying *2026-07-26, version 15.5* I was looking for a digital art platform better that ibis paint, and I specifically search in App Store “ Digital art app free no fees” and this came up, so I downloaded it because it came up, and guess what? You have to pay monthly! I understand that they need to make money somehow, but gosh! And after searching that too! I wouldn’t be able to use it. ### 1/5 — You have to pay 😡😡😡 *2026-07-25, version 15.5* You have to pay just to even draw ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — FAKE *2026-08-28* Not free ### 1/5 — Add screen *2026-08-22, version 15.7* You are stuck one the add screen and you can’t get out ### 1/5 — CHOKE A LEMON😈😈😈😈😈😈😈 *2026-08-20, version 15.6* WHY, I DONT WANT A FREE TRIAL!!

It needs to tell you if you need to pay for money so it needs to work on the entire money thing it’s not too bad of a amount, but still it doesn’t need to be like that ### 1/5 — Can’t use without paying *2026-08-03* As title says ### 1/5 — I can’t get in the game *2026-08-01, version 15.5* I know it would be a great app, but I can’t get in.

I thought I would give it a try and it was super good. The only bad thing was that whenever I choose, learn how to draw it would lag a lot. I don’t know if it’s because of my iPad or the app, but it was lagging so in the future update, please fix that. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Meh *2026-06-24, version 15* Horrible it was rigged and didn’t let me log in at all! By the way the only reason I put this five stars is for you people to see this other wises it seems really fun. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
