### 2/5 — Покупать не советую

*2017-05-29*

Мелкие значки, нет ластика, мало функций, подвисает, вылетает, а денег все же стоит. Хотя фигурки там всякие симпатичные, но мой взгляд, они общее дело не спасают. Лично я считаю что просто по дури выбросила деньги

### 1/5 — absoluter Müll

### 1/5 — Was soll das?

*2012-05-29*

Ich hätte gedacht, dass man hier in dem App ein bisschen professionell malen kann, aber nein, hier kann man ÜBERHAUPTNICHT MALEN!!! Es hackt die ganze Zeit, wenn man mal malen will. Ich will mein Geld zurück!!!! NICHT KAUFEN!!!

### 1/5 — Perdi meu dinheiro

*2012-04-26*

Não perca o seu também, esse app não cria 1 circulo de for a descente, você tem sacudir igual a um maluco o ipad para que ele apague o desenho, não tem tanta função como tenta parecer na propaganda e o desenhos geometricos são criados quase que de forma aletoria na tela, vc não pode editar nem mudar de tamanho, o que o programa desenhou está desenhado. 

0,99 que nunca mais verei de novo!

### 1/5 — For your next update

*2012-04-01*

I used to love this app on my 3GS, but when I switched over to a 4S there was a huge finger tracking problem. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times and made sure it is up to date. Nothing has fixed it, so I can only assume its a problem with the app.
Please resolve this in your next update.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever!

*2013-09-27*

This app is truly awful. Terrible lag on iphone 5. Don't throw your money away.

### 1/5 — Accidentally downloaded

*2013-03-31*

Extremely disappointed! .. Didn't mean to click on a payable app but was downloading others as well, this app is awful!

### 1/5 — Diese app verdient 0 Sterne

*2013-01-29*

Von wegen präzise. Das ist die schlechteste app überhaupt.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2012-10-25*

Extreme lag on the latest ipad. Unsure how to get a refund.  Objects appear after lifting finger off screen.  

Developer should consider major update or refund customers for failed application.

### 1/5 — Do Not Buy - Really!

*2012-10-19*

I DEMAND A REFUND! this app absolutely does not work!

Its that simple, this app should be removed from the store, it does not work.  It can't draw anything beyond odd randowm lines.  There is no way the app even made the bad pictures it shows

I figured that the reviews had to be false, nothing could be that bad, but wow, this IS THAT BAD.

The person who is selling this is cheating people, all those high ratings must be fake users, there is no way any half minded person could even say this app works.  

do not be tempted, just don't buy this junk! it should be kicked out of the store

I've bought it for my children aged 3 and 8 and it's brilliant, very easy to use, lovely pics, simple colours, great little app.

### 5/5 — Very creative game

*2010-08-06*

In paint you can draw anything that you can think up. It is very easy to use and it has many powerful tools. It is also good for creating wallpapers for your iPod touch, iPhone or iPad. This must-have app is defiantly worth $1.19

### 5/5 — Mijhun your ignorant/or maybe u no understand

*2009-05-24*

This app is the best painting program you'll ever find n the app store!!!l
   I can reproduce any painting of any medium within  a matter of 30 minutes.
 u can quikly put down what's In your head and use for a high quality referance for a real painting.
 The program is EXTREMLY USER FRIENDLY and your tools and colors can be interchanged LIGHTING FAST FOR PAINTING a Experance that flows
Incrediably well
I'M AN ARTIST THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO AFFILATION WITH THE PEOPLE WHO CREATED THIS APP.
I just couldn't set back and let this dude "mijun" trash this wonder app. The idea that this "JERK OFF" could neg influence someone thats thinking of buy this app sickens me
   My rant is over.

### 5/5 — Amazing!
