That’s a very intuitive, safe way for me to learn. Unfortunately, I lose all progress when my iPad sleeps or I switch apps. This is very frustrating and makes me not want to use it anymore. I think they have a lot of potential here so I’ll watch for updates but won’t use it until progress saving is implemented. ### 3/5 — Okay *2020-04-09, version 6.0* I think this game is good however it is hard to copy the pictures with touchscreen devices however it is very fun to play ### 2/5 — Bad app *2019-12-31, version 6.0* This game is bad because when you do step by step it shows you drawings and when I clicked a cat it showed me a bunch of cats so I wet to the cat I wanted to draw it did not let me draw it ### 3/5 — Really!?!?!? *2019-07-03, version 6.0* We need to pay to unlock everything it’s so stupid and a waste of money. At least the drawings that we have are pretty. ### 1/5 — Do not like it *2019-06-03, version 6.0* I deleted it because if you have bigger hands it is hard to get in the small places. Also you can not get on the lines. It is just had to draw even on the step by step part of the app. I did not like it. ### 1/5 — Hi ppl 😀 *2019-04-14, version 6.0* I don’t know how it works and a don’t like the fact that I have to buy the Wolf, CAUSE I LOVE WOLVES but any way, 🤷‍♀️ so BAIII! ### 1/5 — No *2019-03-31, version 6.0* Bad ### 2/5 — Complete waste of time *2019-02-16, version 6.0* At first it was fun but then I realised that it's not teaching you how to draw it's just making me colour pictures. DONT GET IT!! ### 3/5 — A work in progress - I hope *2019-02-12, version 6.0* The app starts off on the right foot. I am one of those who can't draw and the app gives you the chance to start out tracing and move on to free hand. You can change the opacity of the tutorial sketches, move them to a floating panel while you're drawing is the main screen or you can turn them off altogether. The app also allows you to work on drawing in one module and work on coloring in another. This is very useful as the two things are very different. One of the best features is the ability to pinch-zoom and move the picture around. This allowed me to use the store and rear to move around the picture making fine adjustments until I had a fairly reasonable picture. Now for the bad. Apparently the app doesn't allow saving even though there's a menu for it. Try as I might it would not save. Secondly and related, there's no way to save a partial work then return at a later time and finish it. There's not even a menu indicating sometime in the future their may be a load function. So, if you don't mind doing all your work in one sitting and not being able to save the finished product (I did a screenshot and saved it). Then this is a great little program to help you learn to draw. Of course no matter how good the program, you have to practice, practice, practice to get where you can do it out of your head without help. ### 2/5 — So So *2019-02-08, version 6.0* It’s too expensive for what you get and it didn’t meet my expectations. If I could, I’d ask for a refund. ### 2/5 — Umm I don't suggest *2018-10-13, version 6.0* So u can't write or draw at all while learning...ITS TOO HARD TO ERASE! BAD QULITY!Doesnt work.😡😤 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I hate it. *2023-07-28, version 6.0* I hate it ### 1/5 — Never Again! *2022-12-03, version 6.0* This thing is the worst! ### 1/5 — Dumb *2021-08-10, version 6.0* YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING 😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Horrible *2021-07-25, version 6.0* You literally have to buy everything in the game I do not like the game at all and how do you even use it other people might like the game but it’s so annoying to me I was just trying to find a app for me to do because I was bored but this game just got me border I do not want you to get this app you will end up hating it but maybe you won’t I hate this app ### 1/5 — Horibble trash game fire all the developers for being trash *2021-03-04, version 6.0* This horrific game makes you pay 7’99 and is still bad it makes it harder for you to draw never download if you want to stay an artists ### 1/5 — PLEASE READ 😤😤😠😠😡😡 *2020-12-07, version 6.0* THIS IS ANNNOYING IT IS REALLY HARD TO DRAW ON IPAD OR IPHONE IF YOU COULD PLEASE CHANGE IT From doggies#rainbow ### 1/5 — No good *2020-08-12, version 6.0* Not simple steps ### 1/5 — It is very bad *2020-01-18, version 6.0* No inctucons ### 1/5 — Bruh *2019-07-14, version 6.0* So I was drawing like normal and then I had trouble tracing the lines that you were telling me to trace what do expect me to do take my finger off every milli second to see if I’m tracing properly no way.And you also need to stop with the camera hesitating when you try to see how your doing so far.And I am NOT paying for drawing’s no that will cost my parent’s a lot of money man not cool,not cool at all. ### 1/5 — Bad teaching *2019-06-06, version 6.0* I don’t find the game helps people to draw especially the eyes of the animals. It’s too hard. And there is a lot of animals I looked forward to draw. It’s all locked. I am not impressed with the colouring either. When I use the “bucket” it fills up the entire drawing. Please do some corrections. I think I’m gonna download another app. It’s soooo bad. 😡😡😡 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2025-05-27, version 6.0* Helps me draw and so many stuff to draw but not all things are free but most are😀😁😃😄😊🙂😜 ### 5/5 — It’s amazing *2022-12-28, version 6.0* I love it please add some more epic drawings good job ! ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2020-04-08, version 6.0* This has helped me on drawing my things on paper and on my iPad this app is amazing it blew my mind ### 5/5 — A-maz-ing *2020-02-16, version 6.0* This app is so amazing !
