Fine tune our new Azure API.

User reviews

So quirky. So much fun!

I love this app. It is logical and novel. There is some interface friction but it actually works to make one work more intentionally and creatively. This is the most cute+unique art app I’ve ever used and it will never leave my iPhone.

Warning (please fix): when you change the size of the canvas your whole drawing gets erased.

Great app with so much potential

This app is great but desperately needs some quality of life improvements. Also uploading designs has been broken since the server or something went down, please don’t give up on this little gem!

Response from developer

Microsoft Azure has deprecated the iOS Azure API we are using. We will find some time to fix it. Thanks for your feedback!

Mode sombre 🙏

Appli très bien mais besoin du mode sombre pitié !

So much potential!

I have been using this app almost every week for almost two years now and it’s fantastic! I hope that it get some QoL changes though bc I feel it would truly help it excel. The recent changes to the undo function is a great example of the changes I hope are in store! Thanks for amazing app!

So close to being 5 stars

I love the virtual console like feel of the app but some usability things really slows down the workflow and makes it hard to get into a groove. Also the app on my ipad is stuck in a foreign language and whenever I try to change it the app just crashes.
