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.
I am deleting.

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!

Thank you for your question. In order to turn of gestures and to draw with multiple fingers again you can goto the iOS Settings App > Apps > Flowpaper > disable "Pinch and zoom". Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions. Thanks ! Greg from the Flowpaper team

Where is multi-touch?

This app has been on my phone for years, and my favorite feature was that you could draw with 2, 3, 4 fingers at once and draw simultaneous lines. Is this functionality completely gone? I’m not seeing an option in any settings for it and this function doesn’t work anymore by default. The brushes are pretty and it’s a good drawing app. But you’re missing your premiere feature.

The NEW Flowpaper is great!

I was very sad when the original Flowpaper disappeared or became only a business application. But suddenly a new Flowpaper has appeared and I love it! The techniques are somewhat different from the original, but it’s still wonderful. The effects one can get are so different from every other art app I have tried.

Thank you for the feedback! This reply is a little delayed :P But we wanted to let you know that Flowpaper is now updated with a fix that should address this issue. Thanks again

Great app but..

Need an export to video, using screen capture, the ui is on top of the canvas and can’t be hidden. More animation control would be nice too.

Animations don’t download

Overall a Beautiful concept with stunning results; however, when the, “animate,” feature is on, it only seems to show the animation on the app’s screen, and if you try to export it, a blank, black .png image is all that’s there. 😔

……¯\_(ツ)_/¯…

Thank you for the feedback. We'll look into how we can make sure that animated brushes are captured in the export and maybe a video export option also. Thanks Greg and the Flowpaper team.

That just made my whole week. Thanks for the love, glad Flowpaper earned the iPad 🙏 Have fun making cool stuff!

Good Potential, Limited Accessibility

Overall, this is a nice app to do a few doodles on. I’d like more features to be added like lighting and background animations. The app is 95% paywalled behind a subscription. The animation switch doesn’t seem to do anything. I all would like an option to hide hud. If some of these wrinkles get refined, this app will be a 5/5

Fun fun fun

I’ve had this app for 10+ years. With this app I can create digital art without the high cost on your typical digital media software titles. This app is not only inexpensive it is easy to use and you can make something on yourt first try worthy of hanging on your walls. I highly recommend this app for all ages.

Hi Cur1ysue, Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you've been enjoying flowpaper. Greg

Great fun

Great fun to use and very useful to create quick logo mock-ups without knowing how to even draw properly.

Would be perfect if it remembered palette configurations across app runs.

Hi Sanjay Thank you for the review and the great suggestion! That’s a fantastic idea, we’ll look into making sure selected and custom palettes are remembered across app runs. Greg, Botto Studio

subscription

Very interesting application, but the bought subscription constantly disappears and it is necessary to be connected to the Internet again that to restore it

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! Apologies that you’re experiencing issues. The subscription should stay active and does on our test devices and for other users we’ve spoken to, however we’ll look into whether there might be a compatibility or settings issue to get this resolved. Thank you again for the review, and please feel free to reach out through the in-app help if you’d like any further assistance. Cheers, Greg — Botto

Nice app

Few brushes to create some beautiful drawings. There's a room for improvement to add more brushes to make it even better.

Skip the upgrade

I liked the app so I got the upgrade, now it’s very buggy, I’m using an iPad Pro.

The Zen of drawing

As a commercial art tool it may not have a huge following but to do a daily silky flow across the page and see the stunning results just flow across the page is worth the effort just for the practice of being creative with no particular aim in mind. I don’t believe in ‘mindfulness’ but if I did this would be the answer if drawing and creating is your thing…
