My 3 y.o. Loves this app, but once it was update every time he wants to change the color I hear "help! Help!" The newer version may offer more options but it isn't as intuitive or easy to use for very young users. This used to keep him happy for quite some time while I did other things, v but now he needs me to help him use it. Annoying! Please bring it back! ### 4/5 — Finger paint *2017-03-28, version 2.8.0* I got it for my 3 yr old niece and she loves it! ### 3/5 — Not bad... *2017-02-08* I like this, however I wish it had more content. For example, all u can do is paint. But, with other art apps there are many more features. ### 4/5 — Needs *2017-01-06, version 2.7.0* Higher (dpi) resolution - so that images can be enlarged & printed ### 4/5 — Good App but... *2016-10-07, version 2.7.0* I hate the ads and some of them are inappropriate for kids. ### 2/5 — Eh *2016-08-16, version 2.6* Ok...hate the ads 😡 ### 4/5 — Finger paint app... *2016-06-12, version 2.6* I like it! It is hard to draw a great picture with it, but the concept is fun. I enjoy ### 4/5 — Excellent App *2016-03-29, version 2.5* Cool app for quick drawing and painting ### 3/5 — Cool app *2015-04-02, version 2.2* I like the app but I would like to have a rubber!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No pictures *2020-08-12, version 2.23.1* U can’t add pictures That’s it 1 star ### 1/5 — Broken *2017-09-30* When you pay to eliminate the ads, which is just terrible to begin with, it breaks the app. So I just paid and now can’t even use the free version. The worst. Please fix with an update. ### 1/5 — Not fun. *2017-08-27, version 2.10.0* No undo button or erase icon. You just have to start all over. Boo. ### 1/5 — Not keeping it. *2017-07-07, version 2.10.0* No undo. Annoying ads. I'm deleting it. ### 1/5 — CRASH CRASH CRASH!!!! 😖 *2017-01-28, version 2.7.0* This app crashes every single time you tip the phone and it thinks you want to change orientation. Super super annoying! ### 1/5 — Crashes non-stop *2016-10-14, version 2.7.0* Mediocre at best ### 1/5 — Ok *2016-09-04, version 2.6* Ok ### 1/5 — Brrrr *2015-02-09, version 2.0* Keeps freezing, keeps exiting the application. Not impressive at all. I would have hoped my computer savvy 4 year old grandchild would be inspired to use this but seems to be put off rather than excited. ### 1/5 — Meh.... *2015-01-21, version 2.0* No erase option. No clear all option. I've had the app for less than 10 minutes and it has frozen 4 times. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2014-12-08, version 2.0* Freezes up all the time. Impossible to use. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Have been using for years *2021-04-23* Meow. (Sorry this is not that helpful but it’s a good app that you should download. From the title, you can see I’ve been using this for YEARSSSSSSSSSS.) ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-10-10* My 3 year old grandson and I love it. ### 5/5 — love it *2017-05-06, version 2.8.0* love it. if u could upload ur own pic and draw on it would be perfect ### 5/5 — Great app for fingerpainting *2017-05-01* This app does one thing very well. It lets you create vibrantly colored finger paintings. I'm using it to create some wonderful abstract studies. It's great fun. ### 5/5 — Great Doodling App! *2016-10-26, version 2.7.0* Love it! I like that I can save my doodles. Easy to use for hours of fun. ### 5/5 — Great *2016-06-11, version 2.6* Easy to use 😊 ### 5/5 — Finger paint *2016-06-07* I love this app!!! I play and get serious with it... I also use this with my medication.. My eye drops.... We were at friends last night and I didn't want to be obvious, so I wrote I'm so ready to go home... And sent it to my husbands phone.. That was pretty neat!!!! I use it a lot to write messages to others!!! Love it Love it. Live it!!! ### 5/5 — Great *2016-05-05, version 2.5* Look up ### 5/5 — Simple and light yet working *2016-02-12* So many apps pack too much into the app. I just wanted a simple painting app and this did just that. Although ability to add letters would be good. ### 5/5 — Fun City *2015-04-24* This app does what it is supposed to do. What can I say really...., It works, it's fun, the rest is up to you and how creative you are or want to be lol....;) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
