Continuous Flow Mode

This feature allows your Flowpapers to really come alive! Brush strokes keep moving after you lift your finger, mixing together to make beautiful rich patterns. A great new way to make interactive drawings or just to sit back and watch the colours flow.

Creative and Relaxing

I am really enjoy the creative line art. It is fairly easy to use and with multiple adjustments to your lines and designs you can get really creative. The images Save easily to your photos or you can share them too. I find it relaxing.

Even better!

I have to say with the latest update I am ticked off! I paid for the FULL VERSION about a year or so ago and now what I used to get the developer wants me to pay for again. There isn’t even a Restore Purchases button so that the developers/ app can see that I already paid for the Full version! Until this is corrected my advice is to stay away from this app!!

Update sucks.

After the latest updates I can only choose 3 brushes… the other 3 require a paid upgrade.

Exceptional!!!

I’ve had this app for several years. It was amazing at launch and has been regularly updated and maintained consistently for as long as I’ve had it. This latest evolution of the app is through the roof!!

Highly recommended!!!

Responsive developer!

I couldn’t figure out how to draw with multiple fingers at once (now in May 2026), and the developer responded to my previous review with instructions on how to activate that ability again. “iOS Settings> Apps> Flowpaper> Disable Pinch and zoom”. It works perfectly! Thank you for the response!
