### 5/5 — I love this app

*2026-07-19*

This app is the best app ever

### 3/5 — Not great for beginners

*2026-05-30, version 26.02.08*

Requires more basic skill and might be more for iPad drawers and not a whole lot of characters but I’m happy to have my fandom included

### 5/5 — 5 stars

*2026-05-26, version 26.02.08*

So nice doesn't glitch and not a million adds definitely insist this app

### 4/5 — Tutorials are just adds!

*2026-05-12, version 26.02.08*

I love this game however when I go on to a tutorial it just keeps playing an add and there is no option to come out of it. Please get this fixed as I love this game and it helps me draw better. I would recommend if they fix this bug. Thank you for your kindness.

### 4/5 — This app is really good

*2026-05-10, version 26.02.08*

This app is really good but I’m only giving it 4 stars Beacuse there’s no characters I like to draw but apart from that this is app and its tips are really helpful

### 1/5 — So bad

*2026-05-09, version 26.02.08*

It’s so bad because when you trace your lines are so bad and you make it look so easy but it’s so hard it’s the worst drawing app I’ve had ever done

### 4/5 — Ok

*2026-05-03, version 26.02.08*

I like this game but you have to pay for it to get rid of the adds and the step-by-step tutorial

### 3/5 — ITS AMAZING

*2026-03-20, version 26.02.08*

It’s amazing to my knowledge you don’t have to pay for anything and if you try the trace feature it works wonders! And it some other things then anime but mostly anime!
SUPER FUN!

### 5/5 — HTDAE

*2026-03-15, version 26.02.08*

Personally i love this app it has ar drawing step by step tutorials and full body tutorials of anime characters although when i use the ar it lags and the imge slightly moves so i was hoping you could fix that. And please add more full body tutorials of MHA character as well as inuyasha and ragonball z take care

### 3/5 — I don’t know…

*2026-03-11, version 26.02.08*

I thought you could draw from your iPad or phone to like draw from your iPad like procreate, but it’s not like that ????
