That is really disappointing cause I paid for all of the developers app and I am concerned that I will lose them in the future. Especially if the iOS version starts to be to advance for the app. I hope that the developer will keep all of the art apps working in the future. I have lost so many cause the developer just stops caring about there app. ### 4/5 — Nice App, needs work *2019-10-30, version 1.621* This app is almost there. The biggest downfall is the goofy user interface and the ugly color palette that remains in full view when using the chalkboard. Interestingly, it becomes transparent when writing which is the way it should look under normal conditions. It really destroys the immersive feel of the chalkboard. Additionally, although the colors are very chalk-like and realistic, they are very subdued. it would be nice to have a few brighter colors available. Super ugly icon I hide in a folder. ### 4/5 — Good app *2019-04-14, version 1.621* Awesome app, very entertaining!!! ### 4/5 — Great app *2019-02-12, version 1.621* It’s a great app for school / spelling 👍🏼🥰😊😃❤️ ### 4/5 — It's fun *2017-07-07, version 1.610* It could be better ### 4/5 — How *2017-04-15, version 1.610* Really awesome App app I am rating for how do you open the store I am really confused ### 5/5 — It is fun to practice things that I want to draw. *2016-06-04, version 1.610* And I like drawing elephants to. ### 4/5 — Nice Teaching Tool! *2016-02-28, version 1.610* It's been my favorite board to write on in teaching with iPad. I have 1 request: please add a music staff template and music symbols as an add-on pack. Thank you kindly, April (Music Instructor) ### 4/5 — Kids love it *2016-01-07, version 1.610* Makes kids want to show their work on math problems! ### 4/5 — Good app *2016-01-02, version 1.610* It is a good app don't get me wrong but not all the colours are there there is a pen that isn't really needed and instead of the three colours on the pen could be the actual chalk because people install the app for a chalk board chalk and a rubber and you shouldn't have to pay more for colours on chalk than an un-needed three pen colours ### 5/5 — My daughter loves this app!!! *2015-12-03, version 1.610* Thanks ### 5/5 — Great app! *2015-11-29, version 1.610* This is a really fun app! Love it!! ### 3/5 — Nice Program *2015-08-27, version 1.610* My child really loves this and the other Hello programs. I would rate them all 5 stars if the in app purchases worked. With the latest versions (Chalk, Crayons, Pencils and Oil Paint) I get an error "cannot connect to iTunes Store" and the app freezes. ### 2/5 — Aggh *2015-05-16, version 1.600* The app won't download full version. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Its so bad *2021-06-16, version 1.621* i can’t even write notes down ! ### 1/5 — Bad app *2016-01-02, version 1.610* It is not letting me open it black out. Don't get this app!!!!!!!!💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😡😡😡😡😡 I have been trying about 30 times! ### 1/5 — Lag time *2014-03-26, version 1.600* I have to wait 30 seconds for my writing to show up, and most of the time when it does show up it just looks like a squiggle! 😖😖😠 not worth your time. ### 1/5 — Not the best app *2013-12-09, version 1.600* It's a good app just not for me ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2013-01-25, version 1.502* This app I terrible !!!!!! Don't download it xx ### 1/5 — DUMB *2013-01-11, version 1.502* Needs WAY more colors ### 1/5 — Hello Chalk *2011-08-04, version 1.2* This app works but there is no support whatsoever as their support page is in Korean and offers nothing to help. I would like to turn the chalk sound off because it is annoying and noisy. I could turn the phone ringing off to compromise, but will risk not hearing the phone ring should I forget to turn the phone back on. I try to "Contact" them, but it only shows a map of their office in Korea! ### 1/5 — Awful *2011-06-19, version 1.0* Wouldn't even start the app it shuts itself down soon as you try and open it disappointing as it looked good ### 2/5 — Only three Colors available *2018-03-19, version 1.621* I upgraded from the free version, but did not receive any more colors. My version does not look like those pictured, with a spectrum of colors. Very disappointed. Wasted $3.99 ### 2/5 — Ok *2016-07-21, version 1.610* You need more choices of chalk colors and colors in general. No one wants to pay and less likely to pay if they think they will like it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is so nice *2022-09-03, version 1.621* Great, love the sound effect! ### 5/5 — The only chalkboard app that feels like a chalkboard *2021-01-26, version 1.621* With something like a chalkboard, the little touches can be everything, and out of the chalkboard apps out there, this is the only one that feels like a chalkboard. Non-solid chalk marks, chalk-dust-y background available, sounds with each stroke. Those three things are all I ask out of a chalkboard, and all the others are missing at least one of the three. ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-08-30, version 1.621* Perfect app ### 5/5 — It's An ASMR Thing *2019-08-11, version 1.621* I love the sounds of the chalk, brings me back to childhood. One issue : I wish the control tab on the screen of the iPad were smaller. ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-11-08, version 1.621* A lot of fun to use ### 5/5 — Excellent app !! *2016-10-24, version 1.610* Great app. No issues. ### 5/5 — The best *2016-10-17, version 1.610* Excellent app ### 5/5 — It's the best! *2016-09-21, version 1.610* I use this app as a mini chalkboard for my students...no chalk, no mess. It makes the kids want to do math! ### 5/5 — It's more than just chalkboard *2016-08-14, version 1.610* I love the feature of adding your own photo to create notes and what-nots ### 5/5 — Great app for improvement *2016-07-19, version 1.610* It is a excellent app! But if it can add more free colors will be even better! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
