Please continue working on this app!
I was looking for a replacement of Popjam since it shut down and this was the closest I could get! I created an account (I’m sweetlyds12) and just started using it today. It has so much promise and I don’t think that the developers are working on it anymore which breaks my heart. There’s no daily challenges and there are very few users. It’s the closest I could find tho to Popjam.
I have some criticisms like that there should be a zoom feature, that there were challenges you could win for more engagement, and an award (like Popjam’s neon star) that you could give to the best artistic users for role models. I would also like for there to be people to guide the users (like bots or something) and a color wheel so you can use any color you want. I also think that there should be captions available for your drawings when you post them.
Overall there are many things to improve upon but I think once they are accomplished the app will be super popular!! I really like it and I just wish that it was still being worked and improved upon to be even better for new artists to practice with. Please please please pick this app back up developers!! 🫶🫶🫶🫶

Great App, Great Community, But I kinda wish…
Love the app! It’s been awesome just drawing whatever and finding different people! But I wish you can expand on the social media concept by adding a reply button and maybe you can add DM’s to the app too. I wish to build friendships on this app by sharing our hobbies and I feel a bit restricted by just commenting and drawing so adding these would be awesome to see, but so far I love it 👍

Wonderful community 😁
Its is a fun concept but I wish there was an easier way to draw. There is no brush options, you cannot edit the opacity, and you cannot zoom in or move your screen. I feel it would be better if you could draw easy on an art app. Overall I love the app its so fun to get feedback on my art. The controls could be Better.❤️

Good Drawing App
As a drawer, (and one who wishes to become good at digital art) this is a pretty good app! I normally use ibisPaintx, but I wanted to try this out for a more simple concept. I tried this out, and the drawing/pen is pretty smooth. Though there is no eraser, (or I haven’t found it yet). But my biggest issue with this app is that there isn’t an option to zoom in, making it very difficult for proportion control for your lines. And there is no fill bucket. Other than that it fits my satisfaction rate, and I’m happy with this app! :) * Recommended for digital art beginners * ~ Have a good day! .•* bobapaws *•.

Could Be Better
Personally, I think drawpool is a really cool idea and has a lot of potential. There are some minor recommendations that I think would really make the app a little better.
Number 1: I would really recommend a zoom feature. Not only would this come in handy for the artists. It would improve the app’s functionality features.
Number 2: A bucket tool and a wider variety of tools (such as, pencils, pens, brushes, air brushes, blend, and more!) This would also improve the work that is produced on the app and make the art work more unique.
Number 3: The option to save progress. This would come in handy for sooooo many people and the app itself.
Number 4 (kinda offbrand): This is more a personal request, but I think we should be able to upload some of our own art we made on other apps to here. Just an idea :)

some bugs..
overall the app is really fun!!! it’s a nice place to jot down some ideas and share them with people :) though, some improvements could be made ;; the canvas being unchangable dimensions, the lack of essential colours/repeats of colours (no brown, 3 dark red) and other minor things!! not a lot of creative freedom, but for a sketching app that’s to be expected
also, you can’t post until after you’ve confirmed your email address, but there is no way to have the confirmation email sent to your email address? which is an odd brick

One thing
I think app is great but the one thing is I can’t zoom and there no bucket option (if there is I haven’t found it yet) other than that this app is great keep up the good work
Promising but not quite there
After the death of spraycan I’ve been longing for a worthy successor. Draw pool is on the right track to being one. Pros: plenty of colors, a pixel art option, good simple userface and social system via ability to comment on art Cons: no ability to zoom in so your doodles look kinda crappy. Profiles are really shallow so it’s hard to build a community around you or showcase your artwork. Overall it shows promise but it’s a skip until some more useful features are added. We need to at least be able to zoom in to do decent phone artwork.

Response from developer
That's some really constructive and helpful feedback - thank you! :) Firstly, we'd love it if we could catch up with you again, perhaps when we have more features implemented. Mind if we email you? We are working hard to improve both the social aspects, as well as the drawing tools. We have the ability to follow users on the website, and this is coming to the app in the next few days. We are adding tagging soon to improve discoverability, and also allows us to integrate with Slack/Discord (coming soon). We are looking into allowing comments to not only be written, but also drawn... We are adding announcements which will allow us to... announce... when we have new features, celebrate artwork from individual users etc. We definitely want to look into ways of improving the user profile - we fully accept this is an area for improvement. Suggestions are definitely welcomed! And finally, we will be looking to revisit and improve upon the existing drawing tools. So, hope you can stick around and watch us grow and change according to what users such as yourself want! Thanks again.
Best drawing app in the world
It good it very good :)
