### 2/5 — Account Issues

*2026-08-10, version 3.2.0*

Pretty good except I paid for Pro and now apparently it is a monthly subscription and I have to deal with ads etc. all over again unless I now pay each month. Seems like a bait and switch.  Not worth a monthly fee.

### 5/5 — Drawing grid

*2025-09-01, version 2.11.0*

It is a nice app to those children who want to learn sketching

### 5/5 — Excellent app, but one suggestion

*2025-08-23, version 2.11.0*

What else can I say? The app is simple to use and straight forward. The only suggestion I can think of is having some measurement that can be translated onto the paper when the grid abruptly cuts off. That's all

### 5/5 — Easy

### 5/5 — easy use

*2025-07-24, version 2.11.0*

my art teacher told us to download it for a self portrait last year and it’s the easiest grid app i’ve used, the only problem i have with it is the bottom box when you put you put your photo into the grid, if it’s not big enough it just splits the box in half imo the app could be better if it gave you choices or something that have even squares. it also has diagonal grids & you can change the color of the grid lines which i also like because if you have something with black background its hard to see your lines

### 3/5 — Super

*2025-06-07, version 2.10.0*

My first time of using this app and it’s very helpful I recommend everyone who wants to learn how to draw to download it.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can’t change the rows

*2026-02-23, version 2.18.0*

It’s faded out and cannot change

### 1/5 — Terribly clunky

*2024-11-15, version 2.10.0*

It is not easy to use. Difficult to adjust the grid settings. Eg I want 1” squares; it gives 1.4”.

### 1/5 — Not clear = not useful

*2024-10-14, version 2.10.0*

Not clear : no definition of terms; no explanation of use.

### 1/5 — Good except when it wont load an image

*2024-07-09, version 2.10.0*

It is an excellent app but seems to be very buggy. I have been frustrated recently that it momentarily loads an image from the gallery but refuses to load and apply grid. The image just disappears 2 seconds after loading.

### 1/5 — Awful app.

*2024-04-20, version 2.9.5*

Very limited functionality. Cannot specify number of lines or columns.  I deleted it once I tried it out.  Good thing it’s free. Not worth paying for.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2023-10-16, version 2.9.3*

There is not even a control where you can select the size of your paper and that is mainly why I downloaded this app. Don’t download this app it’s a waste of time. I would have given a 0 star rating but that isn’t a option. This app is terrible!!!

### 1/5 — Don’t install

*2023-09-22, version 2.9.3*

wastage of time and data

### 1/5 — Nul

*2023-08-21, version 2.9.3*

Application nulle... je pensais pouvoir dessiner avec, mais c'est une appli de montage photo

### 1/5 — Paid to remove ads but can’t open app

*2023-07-19, version 2.8.2*

I got the app 2 days ago and paid to remove the ads, but today I can’t open the app, and I presume that if I reload it I will have lost the library of images I saved 😒

Very unsatisfactory.

### 1/5 — No photos

*2023-06-27, version 2.8.2*

Downloaded this tonight. It will not load any of my photos. I checked my settings, and it says that the app is allowed access to all of my photos. I tried restarting my iPad, but that didn’t help.

I use it regularly. Simple and to the point. Works.

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-07-16, version 2.18.0*

Best app ever for grid method, 10/10

Excellent App. Works perfectly.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-06-17, version 2.18.0*

Good app

### 5/5 — Best Grid App to Date

*2026-06-10, version 2.18.0*

I have used many grid apps over the years and DrawingGrid is by far the best. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Best App For Beginners

*2026-05-23, version 2.18.0*

I’m taking a drawing class, we learned gridding, how it’s good practice but it also produces the best results earlier on. This is the best app for gridding your photos from your phone.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-05-22, version 2.18.0*

Is easy for me to use

### 5/5 — Great Grid

*2026-05-03, version 2.18.0*

The grid is great for a beginner like me - helping with positioning and sizing to produce pictures that look close to the original image

### 5/5 — 5⭐️

*2026-04-17, version 2.18.0*

This app is great. It comes with a bunch of customizations for the grids. 💯 I love this!

### 5/5 — Check drawing

*2026-04-15, version 2.18.0*

Sometimes I just can’t see where a drawing is incorrect - the space between the head and clasped hands on a sitters lap for example. DrawinGrid quickly makes mistakes obvious.
