So these are some things too upgrade: No adds Cuter and nicer pictures Teach us how too shade in athor things That’s all! Thanks for reading [if you play Roblox add me my nicname is Yalcfan] ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-02-20, version 1.0.8* This app has too many ads ### 4/5 — Errrrrr…. *2026-01-06, version 1.0.8* Okay, maybe I’m just really impatient but the videos take sooooooooooooo long to load. The drawings are okay but they skip important details and they aren’t easy to follow. My main complaint is the loading time. Please fix this! ### 4/5 — SOOO MANY ADS!!! *2026-01-04, version 1.0.8* The reason I gave it 4 stars is cuz when I’m drawing cartoons of animals, every time I press the arrow to go to the next step, it gives me an ad!! Also like, it’s hard to draw a pre-drawn animal! I tried the German Shepard and by the second step, it looked like a foot with flair pants. Also, when it says like,10 steps I really means 9 because of the animal that it turns out to be. Buuuut overall ,this is a pretty good app. ### 3/5 — Videos dont work *2026-01-02, version 1.0.8* Adds well I watch ads but it's a waste it doesn't work ### 2/5 — Will re-rate after ?’s are answered *2025-12-10, version 1.0.8* Well I purchased the premium features but none of the videos are available. Why? Where is the “Help” section? Why does the “”App Support” section in the App Store take me to a Facebook page “Master Dungeon AI Bitforge game that has no mention of the How to Draw Animals by Steps app?? ### 2/5 — not working *2025-11-27, version 1.0.8* I was thinking it was a good app but it was not you will see why ### 4/5 — To many ads *2025-11-08, version 1.0.8* After every step or in the middle of the video a ad will just play.super annoying but its a great app i would definitely recommend it! ### 4/5 — Good *2025-09-18, version 1.0.8* Good ### 2/5 — Bad but not *2025-08-24, version 1.0.8* I wish I could do the videos 😡! ### 3/5 — Ok *2025-08-17, version 1.0.8* This app is great but takes forever to load but impresssed on everything else ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Paid for it and it doesn't work. *2026-03-09, version 1.0.8* Paid for it so my son could learn to draw and the app doesn't even work. Just says the video is unavailable no matter which one i try to draw. ### 1/5 — Videos don’t work *2026-02-23, version 1.0.8* Purchased the add free version. Video tutorials do not work. ### 1/5 — Mislead *2026-02-07, version 1.0.8* This isn’t my at all what it seemed it was going to be. Much rather have a search option and there aren’t very many options.

I tried to press something to learn to draw it, and then it says to watch an ad to unlock it. I press that, and it doesn’t work. It does nothing. I tried reloading the app. Still won’t work. If this could be fixed that’d be great! Real review, not paid. ### 1/5 — Bad!!! *2025-06-29, version 1.0.8* So bad! You need to watch an ad for every single picture! I regret getting this! ### 1/5 — Drawing *2025-06-27, version 1.0.8* 1 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-05-23, version 1.0.9* I love to draw I got this app because another app was to expensive to get.Anyway this app is pretty amazing (highly recommended) it shows you how to draw animals only, but many animals the app gives you easy steps to take but not with videos until they think you can do the videos ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-05-15, version 1.0.9* It is completely free, works, and there are not many adds. ### 5/5 — Best drawing app! *2026-04-22, version 1.0.8* I love the app some much!

Honestly, it helped me so much. I could do it all day long but I have school. Whatever about that. Everybody has to do it. Download it now. It's the best app to draw. I love it. It's really good honestly it's like a therapy session in the app except withdrawing. This is the best. I'd love it. Everybody should download it. I love it too much this is just too cool. Why is nobody downloading it it only has 4.0 so help help us. We need to put it at five star rating so what are you waiting for download now ### 5/5 — Lily *2025-11-22, version 1.0.8* Amazing ### 5/5 — Drawing app *2025-11-11, version 1.0.8* This app is amazing when when you scroll down, it gets harder and harder, so that’s really cool. The only thing is I would like simple stuff, but where you shade and have tea towels, but not too hard. I couldn’t find that, but I made my own thing out of the simple stuff I shaded by myself and I kept doing it more and more and more and I got better and then I moved on and I could do the hardest stuff. The videos are the hardest. My dad is an artist so he does the video sometimes I used to draw with simply draw, but you have to pay for simply draw so I deleted it and I downloaded this cause I really wanted a drawing app for this. It’s totally free five star review. So if you need an app to help you draw something, this is the app download for free ### 5/5 — Good game *2025-10-31, version 1.0.8* This is a really good game and fun and easy. It really helped my drawings improve.my favourite animal is a turtle of a dingo I can’t decide ### 5/5 — Dogs *2025-08-24, version 1.0.8* You should have more dog pics on your app thanks! ### 5/5 — Pronghorn antelope *2025-08-08, version 1.0.8* I love this app it is one of the best drawing apps I have ever used but i have a question could you add how to draw a pronghorn antelope? I love pronghorn and i want to draw one❤️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
