### 4/5 — Amazing but could use some changes

*2020-05-27, version 1.621*

I like Crayon but they haven’t updated anything in the past 3 years.

### 3/5 — Pictures no longer save

*2020-02-01, version 1.621*

I would rate this higher, but my pictures aren’t saving to my camera roll anymore. It shows that they are saved but they aren’t there. I need this to happen for classroom projects.

### 3/5 — No updates in 2 years

*2019-12-14, version 1.621*

I am changing my review.... this developer has not did any updates at all in 2 years. 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 — Good app but can use an improvement

*2019-04-04, version 1.621*

It’s a great app that allows you to simulate drawing in crayon which is exactly what I want but the app could be better if there was a way to import a picture, trace what you need, and then remove the picture. Please make this happen!

### 4/5 — Nice for pre-schoolers

*2019-03-19, version 1.621*

Great for my 3 yr old who loves experimenting with the app.

### 4/5 — Color Fringie

*2018-09-12, version 1.621*

It is relaxing and very easy to color. I love the app.
