And yes I do have a phone that this app is compatible with because I am currently on iOS 13.3 and the description says this app works with iOS 11 and up also I was playing music sooooo idk if I’m doing something wrong or not, but I just wouldn’t get this app if I were you ### 1/5 — SCAM!!! *2019-12-24, version 2.2* This is a scam the background doesn’t move ### 1/5 — Advertisement *2019-12-24* This app doesn’t do anything like what the advertisement on snap said it would. False advertisement. That is technically a scam and is also illegal. Shame on the owner of this app. Fix your advertisement for your trash application. ### 1/5 — Total garbage *2019-12-24* Here are my 2¢. Read the other reviews that explain why this app is a complete and utter waste of storage. Then, don’t even give them the download, don’t see for yourself, you will open the app up to a 3 day free trail page that doesn’t go away unless you accept the 20$ monthly subscription. Close the App Store and have a nap. Wake up and eat some chicken/leafs. Take a poo And create something honest and helpful. Even a bad app can explain why this world is going down the drain. Everyone is out to put everyone and everything below them for their own personal gain. It’s not about building everyone up as a whole and making sure our planet and everyone and everything on it thrives. The question people have been asking themselves is how do I screw the world up to benefit me? How do I screw over other people to help me? And for that no matter the technological advance we will never get anywhere. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2019-12-23, version 2.2* All the negative reviews of this app completely reflect my feelings about it. It is a complete waste of time to download because as soon as you open it, it says “free trial” and that trial only lasts 3 days. It’s extremely annoying when an app says its free, but when you open it, you are required to pay to even use it. $19.99 a year to use the app? I would rather burn up my cash. I would like to tell the developer, “Your app is absolute garbage and you should stop trying to steal peoples money for such a waste of time. Instead, you should throw yourself in a dumpster and eat the garbage in it because you are what you eat.” ### 1/5 — Not worth it... *2019-12-23, version 2.2* I attempted to open the app to be drawn to screen filled with micro transactions and couldn’t leave to use the app. ### 1/5 — Refund me *2019-12-23, version 2.2* Signed up for free trial and automatically charged me $20 ### 1/5 — What? *2019-12-23, version 2.2* I installed this app from snapchat as I thought it would be cool to have a 3D animated background for my iPhone but when I got it and declined the trial it was nothing like what the ads showed waste of my time. ### 1/5 — In app purchases *2019-12-23, version 2.2* It doesn’t even say that there’s any in app purchases it dose say you get a free trial but before I clicked it I read the comments on it and someone was charged for a year when they clicked on the free trial like that’s BS DON’T GET THIS APP ### 1/5 — Trash *2019-12-23* Tried doing a free trial and I was charged instantly for a year, went to open a ticket for help and it has no options to click for a “reason”. When you push submit you need a reason but they don’t have any. ### 1/5 — don’t buy this app *2019-12-23, version 2.2* it charges you for a year, no refund possible. it’s a waste of space on your phone and it’s NOT worth even glancing at it on the app store. screw this app. ### 1/5 — MONEY PROBLEM *2019-12-23, version 2.2* THEY TOOK $21 dollars out my account for a free trail this don’t make no since ### 1/5 — Bad *2019-12-23* It seems like it’s an app that can make cool 3d moving background, but the developers didn’t even let us see what the app is to know if it is good or bad. It is free but it doesn’t show what the app can do. At least let us try one background but no, the first thing they ask us before anything is money... it does seem like an amazing app, but I’m sure that if we pay that 20$/year we will enjoy it, but why make that app free if you’re not gonna show any previews? if you don’t mind wasting 20$, do get this app though. It is an app I have always dreamed of having. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t let you try it *2019-12-23* Like you should at least let us try it before buying it so the we could see what type of app it is but sadly no so i deleted it ### 1/5 — Don’t get this app *2019-12-23* I got this app and it won’t let me out of the free trial screen. All of my friends complain about this and I am speaking out. I hope they fix this bug. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam app *2020-08-25, version 2.4* App asks you to sign up for free trial but when it brings up the Apple Pay charge it’s actually for a $29.99 purchase. Do not bother it doesn’t even work the way it’s intended. Thankfully Apple refunded me for these scumbags ### 1/5 — Scam total waste of time *2020-07-25* Saw an ad that said it was free so I downloaded it and when I opened the app I had to pay for a subscription ### 1/5 — DONT GET *2020-06-01, version 2.4* It cost 30 dollars a year and the backgrounds don’t even move so do not get it ### 1/5 — Don’t get this app😠😡😠😡😡😡 *2020-05-30, version 2.4* I just got this App and it already was bad I clicked on the start free trial and it said that it would cost $30.00! What?!?!30 dollars heck no Please for your own sake DON’T GET THIS APP ### 1/5 — Horrible *2020-02-01, version 2.2* This app is terrible it made me pay bullcrap money then kicked me out!!!🤬 ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2019-12-26, version 2.2* As soon as I downloaded it and paid, none of the 3D background features worked ### 1/5 — Scam *2019-12-26, version 2.2* It’s not what it seems ### 1/5 — Scam App *2019-12-25, version 2.2* Does not work at all!!!! It’s a scam ### 1/5 — Horrible *2019-12-25, version 2.2* Never get this! This is so bad I went in and was like yay I’m so excited.i started trying and then I see “get a free trial.” I think can’t I stop it? I do it then i can’t stop it!!! I hate this app and you all should not get it or try the free trial.its such a scam ### 1/5 — Scam *2019-12-24, version 2.2* Biggest waste of time, basically just a low quality version of the AR drawing on Snapchat (minus the fact that Snapchat is 100% free) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — oddly entertaining *2019-09-15* i’m 14 and i find this oddly entertaining. despite all the bad reviews, this app is truly what it says it is. i enjoy playing with it. -andrew 🤪 ### 4/5 — you get what you payed for *2019-09-14, version 2.1* so i have an iphone xr and it works but it’s really boring and it is just drawing. ### 3/5 — Um... *2019-09-03* I was so excited for this app but, it DOES access your photos but you can’t draw in you your surroundings only the black screen. I would like for that to be opened to “iPod touch”es please. I really want to use the app with drawing in my surroundings. Thank you for listening. Mike drop! *drops microphone* ### 3/5 — Ok, but very expensive!!! *2019-09-01, version 2.1* U saw this app in an ad, and it looked pretty cool, I’d had an app like this before and I like it! So I got this one, and I did the free trial, but $19.99 a week is crazy!!! I have an app for $10.00 a month. I tried it out and worked pretty well, but sometimes the words I wrote would fly off, and every line I made had a dot, then the line, and I don’t know if that’s suppose to happen but I don’t like it very much. I was done playing around and I went to cancel my subscription, and I found an option $2.99 a month. And Honestly though, what a scam. I canceled it and went to write this review. Now I hope you fix all this stuff I’ve said, and maybe make it $5 a year. Or at most $10. ### 2/5 — Niglet *2020-05-29, version 2.4* Ok this isn’t my first rodeo ladies and listen if you wanna die you’ll buy this app ### 2/5 — I mean... *2019-12-24* There is no wallpaper, which is disappointing. But there is that air doodle thing which is okay other than the fact that you have like 2 options 🤷🏻‍♀️ ### 2/5 — Purchase *2019-12-24* Can I please cancel my free trail I don’t want to use the app I love the idea I just wanted to see the app with the trail but it’s not letting me cancel please ### 2/5 — Eh *2019-12-22, version 2.2* I don’t wanna pay for this, other than that it would probably be a good app ### 2/5 — Didn’t but and never going to *2019-12-22, version 2.2* I wish I could actually see the displays without needing to pay then regret it because it’s just a bunch of basic backgrounds, having three days free trial then pay is the same thing as paying directly but instead you only get this illusion of money in your bank account but it’s just gonna be spent anyways, also nobody would trust an app with the reviews turned off ### 2/5 — Help! *2019-07-04, version 1.0* Please help! I can’t draw in the air on this! Fix this bug please! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
