### 1/5 — Бесполезно да ещё и платного много

*2023-09-02*

Мало чего полезного, да ещё и платное что то есть! Кому то вообще это приложение пригодилось?

### 1/5 — Ok

*2022-04-12, version 1.8*

You don’t get many good options but of course you have to buy anything else. I’d rather play a game called ibisPaint x and I’m recommending this game if you like drawing you can draw anything sorry for it to go one game to another 😂😂
