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. ### 4/5 — I like it *2017-08-26, version 1.621* When you draw and think about at your sleep you have dream you want ### 5/5 — Who doesn't love crayons? *2014-02-06, version 1.600* Seriously, who doesn't get just a little giddy when they open that fresh box of crayons?! Crayon box is always fresh, they don't break, don't roll off desks and they don't need sharpening. I find this to be a great app for pre-k-2. It's intuitive, has the textural look of crayon artwork and can be easily saved to your photos, printed or used in other project apps. ### 5/5 — Really neat and easy *2014-01-12, version 1.600* It's fun, just like using crayons, has coloring books loaded, and easy to export your projects. All around fun and easy. ### 5/5 — Great app for kids *2013-10-27, version 1.531* We love hello crayon for drawing - good app, easy to use and "it's just very nice". ### 5/5 — Crayon *2013-05-31, version 1.530* I love it. My son loves it. He is 2 and it is helping him a lot. ### 5/5 — :) *2013-05-27, version 1.530* fun little coloring app! ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2013-04-08, version 1.520* Fun it's ok. ### 4/5 — :) *2013-03-25, version 1.520* Next, do Hello Watercolors! ### 5/5 — Best drawing app ever!!! *2013-02-02, version 1.502* So easy to draw, and a really good texture!

Please fix!!! ### 1/5 — Ughh ... 😒 *2012-07-25, version 1.410* Dont buy this app . Its a waste of your time ... ### 1/5 — Don't get *2012-05-01, version 1.331* I hate how you have to buy all the coloring pages and stuff. U have to do it with all the other apps that these people make ### 1/5 — Extras are gone! *2011-10-20, version 1.3* I previously purchased the extra coloring books and pencils and markers. After updating the app they disappeared. Now I'm left with the basic set and am out the money I spent for the extra options. Not happy at all!! ### 1/5 — Useless *2011-06-27, version 1.1* Crashes even after update promised to rectify bug. Doesn't even open. Just a frozen distorted picture and then jumps back to home scene. Deleted! ### 1/5 — Won't open for me either :( *2011-06-25, version 1.1* I even contacted the company! New update, and it still won't open! Grrr! Neither will the color pencil one :( looks fun! I'll wait for another update and see! I'll change the rating if they ever fix it :) ### 2/5 — Love Coloring *2015-07-08, version 1.610* I'd like to buy more coloring books for my students and even myself, coloring is so relaxing at the end of hard day. The app won't connect to I-tunes after pressing on the store and then the entire app freezes. Can you please fix this? 5 stars after fixing! I love it!! 😊😊 ### 2/5 — Needs improvement *2012-09-01, version 1.410* Lacks a zoom in feature along with the option to have different sizes of crayons for colouring. Not very good app without that. Refer to the "Color Effects" app in the store. Free and so much easier to Color things. That app lets you go in pixel by pixel. ### 2/5 — Not that Great *2012-03-03, version 1.331* honestly, I hate how it only has crayons and markers they should make one with highlighters regular pencils paint and other stuff and this is just my honest opinion ### 2/5 — Hello it's crayons *2012-01-30, version 1.331* Hello caryon is so much fun , don't just look at the comments get it RIGHT NOW! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Well done *2026-02-11, version 1.621* My daughter loved this game so much.it is so good. ### 5/5 — The best game ever *2025-12-13, version 1.621* I love this game and let me draw a lot of things is the best game as I’m playing it all day ### 5/5 — Great app😍 *2024-04-06, version 1.621* This app is so so so so good and I love it so much the crayons and sharpie and markers and erasers it need’s a update but for the most part I like it it makes a great game!

I am vision impaired and do most of my work on my iphone with Siris help. I was lost for what to do for illustrations as I cannot afford to pay someone YET. I stumbled on Crayon and I love it.

I heartily recommend this app. A+++++ ### 5/5 — Fun with crayons *2015-01-02, version 1.600* Brilliant little app. The only things I would add are the ability to zoom in and out when drawing and a wider colour palette. ### 5/5 — Brill *2014-11-24, version 1.600* Very good app kids love it and I've had good fun on it 5star from me ### 5/5 — Good *2014-11-15, version 1.600* This is a good game for learning purposes!
