SOO CUTE BETTER THAN IBIS PAINT!!

Response from developer

Awww, thank you so much!! 🥹💖 I'm so happy you're enjoying the app and that it helps make your art even better! Thank you for choosing my little app and for the wonderful 5-star review.

Broken

The new version needs fixing. The app crashes as soon as I open it

Update was terrible

App is now unusable and way more complicated after the new update. Please give an option to revert to the old version because the new version is unusable and way more complicated.

Why the hell did y’all do this?

You changed the drawing menu this new update is horrible. I was way more comfortable with the other one. Please change this. It’s the way I make my art and post.

Help

How to enable show grid?

Bad new format

Change the format back pretty please

Love it so far!

I’ve been looking for something simple and easy to use. Similar to ms paint, and this is exaclty what i wanted! Bonus points for low volume of ads

Bad Update.

This Update completely ruined this app in my opinion, the older format was so much better and nicer.

All this did was overcomplicate things that were unneeded and heavily unnecessary.
I downloaded this app so I could have a smooth, nice, simple and easy to get a hang of art app. Changes like these to apps are very unhealthy and make people not want to use it.
Please revert it back to its previous state before this update.

Response from developer

We’re sorry you didn’t like the new update. We understand you prefer the old version, and we’re planning to release a new app with the old design. Thank you for your feedback and support!

SO janky i love it

A little bit of a learning curve but soooo charming

Fix

Pretty awesome app but it’s extremely buggy

great, but

pencil seems to be broken, as you cannot erase or undo.

Good but there’s some glitches

I recently downloaded the game and it’s pretty good! But there’s some glitches to the app.i tried to use the bucket tool on my drawing but then it selected the wrong area,so i undid it and then the part that got the bucket thing just disappeared,so I tried redoing it and it still didn’t work. And the undo and redo buttons don’t work on the pencil. They only work on bucket,paint brush,and etc. please fix this next update.

they updated it and removed all the charm, added in app purchases and loads of long ads.

used to be a really cool port of ms paint and for some reason they changed all of it, made it worse and added ads. make it make sense.... devs if you see this just change it back. im like 90% sure i payed like £3 for this only for the ads to be added and then asking me to pay another £4 to remove them. such weird unnecessary behaviour.

Actually trash

Idk who made this garbage app but obviously they can’t do anything right in there life much less see hear or make a sentence actually the most worthless app ever made

Doesn’t deserve the hate

I think it is important to remember that MS paint was designed for PC, so the fact the developer made an app, that was supposed to be PC only to mobile with easy to understand controls is quite impressive. There is bugs (I think, I haven’t really experienced them) and it isn’t perfect but remember, Ms paint wasn’t supposed be on a touch screen!

If you like MS paint and are on the go a lot without a laptop, get this. I recommend. It is good all things considered it being on a phone.

Deleted my artwork

When it updated to this version it deleted my art from the old version

Buggy

I wanted a good ms paint recreation for iPad, but this one immediately made me watch an ad in order to create a canvas, and the undo button stopped working within like four seconds. Don’t install until they fix this app

Great app!

It’s a lovely app! and great for drawing in a 2000’s Esq style! Just wish it had layers and more customization

Add Layers Please?

It’s a nice premise of ms paint being portable but it would be really nice if there was a layer feature as I can’t find one on it. If there already is one then sorry!

Five stars = amazing !

I absolutely love drawing on this app
