I was able to make something beautiful. I recommend getting this app it’s slays! ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-08-02, version 3.8.4* I love the game it’s awesome but their is a problem either way the fact that when the I’m playing the pop up thing where it shows where you buy the deals it won’t go away so I have to re open the app ### 4/5 — Cute *2025-07-06, version 3.8.4* I really like it Very cool and very well made and very clean ### 2/5 — Not great. *2025-05-30, version 3.8.4* Shaky lines, clunky. Trying to cancel my subscription before the free trial runs out but of course, there’s actually no contact/way of doing that. Please advise, I am not happy with this ap & do not wish to continue with it, ### 5/5 — Good *2025-05-17, version 3.8.4* I found I don’t use it everyday and I want to pay a lot ### 5/5 — Best Mandala App! *2025-05-17, version 3.8.4* I tried them all! This is the best! User friendly with so many options! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Payments *2026-02-15, version 3.8.6* I have to pay for everything can’t even drwa ### 1/5 — Subscription to use vital button after already paying for the app!! *2025-11-12, version 3.8.4* Say goodbye to the “undo” button unless you want to pay for a subscription after already buying the app. This new update is horrible and removes the fun of creating mandalas! ### 1/5 — TRASH and a scam *2025-06-05, version 3.8.4* You need to buy almost everything like one, undo you have to buy redo you have to buy like more like instead of fun at more like app that makes you buy everything Trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash trash, don’t spend your money on it. It’s a scam. ### 1/5 — Not free *2025-05-31, version 3.8.4* This app has a free trial and then it is $10/month. Not worth it ### 1/5 — I HATE YOUUUU! *2025-01-27, version 3.8.2* I MADE SUCH A PRETTY MANDALA AND ACCIDENTALLY ERASED THE WHOLE THING AND YOU CAN’T REDO YOUR MISTAKES UNLESS YOU PAY SO FRICK YOU IDIOTS IT WAS SO PRETTY I HATE Y’ALL AND Y’ALLS SCREWY APP! ### 1/5 — 1 STAR *2025-01-25, version 3.8.2* so basically, i didn’t pay in store purchases so i used the app with the limitations that i had. i went to erase a small part and it erased the whole thing. it happened not 1, not 2, but 3 times! I WILL BE SUING THIS COMPANY AND MAKING SURE THAT NOBODY I KNOW USES THIS APP! i will try to switch everyone to a BETTER APP. bye 🙄 ### 1/5 — Nothing Works *2025-01-08, version 3.8.2* I subscribed and nothing works! A complete waste. ### 1/5 — Not free *2024-10-04, version 3.7.5* Not freee not a 1 time buy -good way to get billed 10$ a year for life . Fail ### 1/5 — $3 a DAY?! *2024-09-25, version 3.7.5* This dev has clearly lost their mind. The thing that really kills it for me is that you can't use the undo button without paying. Like, what? 🤦🏻‍♀️ ### 1/5 — I thought it would be free *2024-08-31, version 3.7.3* I got this app for free but when I tried to make a new project it wouldnt let me draw ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Epic app *2026-06-21, version 3.9.4* Works great, has all the functions. It’s been years of having lower resolution output than what is possible and I just want to ask that you allow for large file size exports so we can get lossless mandalas 💚🧚 ### 5/5 — Great App!!! Had it for years. *2026-06-05, version 3.9.4* I realized I still hadn’t written a review and def should considering how much I’ve used it. Your skill level of drawing really doesn’t matter for this one, it’s just therapeutic honestly. Sometimes I go all out artwork, other times I just scribble. I also really like the random color feature for when my ADD brain has decision fatigue from work. And no annoying ads. Ever. ### 5/5 — It’s pretty good *2026-04-30, version 3.9.3* It’s so good that I just 155 drawings. It’s so good wait no now 100 no 200 now. ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER!! 😍 *2026-04-19, version 3.9.3* This app is so good it is free to download, has no ads, and it is just soooo satisfying! Everybody should download this app! ### 5/5 — IMIDIATE DREAD *2026-03-30, version 3.9.0* This is only 5 so it’s seen, I give this a 2 it kind of sucks, it asks for your age even though it doesn’t matter, you have to pay to do almost everything: must pay to: undo, change pen type, do different types of manuals:( it’s fun to play (kind of…) it also says in the menu of what you get for paying for the premium that you get no adds but there already is no adds so that’s a lie, in general: It gets 1 star for being fun- (ish) and 1 more star for letting you change the color of your pen. I am personally disappointed in this app and think it could have been better :( ### 5/5 — The best *2026-03-26, version 3.8.9* This game is so fun there is even a kids mode and if you want this app you should know that most of the tools cost money but I won something and after I ran straight to this if you are scared you are going to get addicted do not get this app and I’m not even going back and you will be a zombie ### 5/5 — I LOVE IT *2026-03-24, version 3.8.9* I absolutely LOVE this app I love drawing but this drawing is next level pretty if you love drawing as much as I do I HIGHLY recommend this app ### 5/5 — Wonderfully mesmerizing! *2026-03-05, version 3.8.9* So easy to play and get lost in the act of creating. A new favorite way to relax! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-01-24, version 3.8.6* It’s so go Omg!!! Get it now! ### 5/5 — Mindfulness *2026-01-21, version 3.8.6* Super cool to have an app to aid in mindfulness and create some beautiful images at the same time!
