### 4/5 — Just what I needed

*2018-12-13, version 1.2.0*

This simple to use for a simple drawing or note. More complex if you need it. - Thanks

### 3/5 — Needs update!

*2017-09-04, version 1.1.1*

Only three stars because of no updates.  Message popped up this morning that it would not work with IOS 11.

Update, please!  We don't want to lose this app!

### 3/5 — If only....

*2017-09-04, version 1.1.1*

It's a wonderful app for making little drawings, if only it wouldn't freeze up.

### 4/5 — Needs two things

*2017-05-09, version 1.1.1*

Great app, needs a zoom function and the ability to adjust the size of your brush, why are these essential functions not in here

### 4/5 — Paper, Paper, Paper

*2016-09-18, version 1.1.1*

I like this app, Paper, because of its simplicity: it provides a quick and easy surface to sketch basic ideas or to finish the drawing, if desired. The choices of paper are unique, colors unlimited and the tools meet my needs...almost. However, switching between tools is a hassle-they load too slowly, and unless I am missing something, where is the blending tool? These are reasons, my review delivers four stars...generous of me.

### 4/5 — Very good

*2015-10-01, version 1.1.1*

Very good i hope the next update will be better

### 4/5 — Nice & simple

*2014-07-26, version 1.1.1*

Basic layout and user friendly.  Just what you need and nothing else.

### 5/5 — Simple and Great!

*2014-02-15, version 1.1.1*

Love this app-no more searching around for the scrap paper I made a preliminary sketch on! I use it more often than I thought I would. Would love to be able to re-order already existing pages and categorize them for myself.

### 5/5 — Convenient to use

*2014-02-14, version 1.1.1*

Love the simplicity of paper, like being able to write my notes especially when having to write directions, or confirmation numbers when on the phone with a representative, instead of having to type them with the keyboard! Much faster. Nice app.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2014-02-13, version 1.1.1*

Great customer support, they got back to me right away.

### 5/5 — Art paper

*2014-02-13, version 1.1.1*

Easy to use. Love the visual texture of the papers.

### 5/5 — The First Paper

*2014-02-07, version 1.1.1*

Nice little app. No ads and easy to use. Plenty of brush options to start.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2014-02-06, version 1.1.1*

Really nice little app, simple and clean. I'd love a way to change the brush sizes perhaps. It's a nice tool for sketching--similar to MS Paint (and as easy to use, really), the genius lies in what you might do with it.

### 1/5 — Crashes on iPhone and iPad when saving - please fix

*2020-03-26, version 1.2.0*

Crashes on iPhone and iPad when saving - please fix

### 1/5 — May need an update

*2019-11-03, version 1.2.0*

Just purchased Paper after reading about it in an interview with Arnold Schwarzeneggar WSJ of 2-3 Nov 2019. The app has potential, but in its current iteration has very limited functionality in iOS 13.2. Definitely not worth purchasing until it‘s updated. Looking forward to when that happens.

### 1/5 — Poor and bad support

*2019-02-03, version 1.2.0*

Weak and poor support. Tried to get refund and website offered email that just gave me return, not delivered. Crashed my system few times.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2015-09-18, version 1.1.1*

Useless other than wasting time.

### 1/5 — This is a piece of junk.

*2014-05-22, version 1.1.1*

Simple is good when it works, this.... not so good.

...and, the Dev. is a cry baby to blame Apple, seeing how 'Paper' is such a unique and imaginative name!   Bwahaha

### 1/5 — lame

*2014-02-05, version 1.1.1*

Using the app’s description to complain about the app that was not only released, but got ADA months before you even shipped yours. Seriously?

Also, this app is ugly and crashes a lot.( Unlike the one that you are trying to steal the attention from.)

### 2/5 — Keeps freezing, not responsive

*2014-08-02, version 1.1.1*

The app keeps freezing while I'm drawing. Also when changing pens or colors, I have to tap the icon several times for it to react. Would be nice if the pen tip had variable sizes or responded to pressure.

### 2/5 — Pretty good

*2014-04-06, version 1.1.1*

This app is slow to respond to requests to change pen colors, tools and erase.  Has crashed and freezes up at times.  I'd like to see the ability to change the order of the paper.  The last sheet I create is always the first one on the screen, I'd like the ability to move each sheet to the order I want.  The full app Paper is a better choice for more detailed needs.  I bought this app for quick access and easy use.  Updating this review.  Still crashes, slow to respond. Frustrating to use. Get Paper 53 and not this app

### 2/5 — Very basic

*2013-12-04, version 1.1.1*

As a quick sketching tool, it's okay, but I can't really say I see the point of the various paper textures, since the brush and pen strokes don't pick up any of the texture of the paper you draw on.

### 2/5 — Absolutely pointless

*2013-11-12, version 1.1.1*

I have no use for this app at all

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Very Nice

*2019-08-21, version 1.2.0*

Simply put, I love it. Wish it offered Cloud Sync.

### 5/5 — Bromial

*2015-11-09, version 1.1.1*

This is a very good app easy to use

### 5/5 — Simple but GREAT!

*2015-11-06, version 1.1.1*

I have more sophisticated drawing apps that do a much neater job (if I have the time to spend on them) but this one is so simple to use that you can think with your finger tip as you go. I use it often.

### 5/5 — "Whose your Paper?"

*2015-10-28, version 1.1.1*

Mine! Simply put... Have always been creative in a free form kinda way. But when I noticed a teenager using it while a rainstorm blew over to fly back home, I asked what's that you're doing. She showed me and I downloaded it and has been hooked for about 24 months. I've sold copies of my work and have an art exhibit in January at a local library. 
I don't think about where the end result I only connect to my inner ZinZin😀. So download this app and say,"Well hello there my ZIN master welcome to my heart!"

### 5/5 — Just right

*2015-09-24, version 1.1.1*

This app is the perfect way to put your ideas down where you can quickly retrieve them. Also great for the people like to doodle.

### 5/5 — ❤❤❤ LOVE, LIVE, THIS APP

*2015-08-17, version 1.1.1*

You can draw anything u want its easy to use and it saves your drawings and you can also save them to your photos

### 5/5 — Really cool drawing app!

*2014-11-10, version 1.1.1*

Buy this app first if you're a pro or a aspiring artist.  Very worth it!

### 5/5 — So enjoyable 😊

*2014-04-29, version 1.1.1*

I get a little more addicted to Paper every time I use it. Love the simple creativity it lets you use. Try it, you have nothing to lose!

### 5/5 — Ms. L

*2014-04-06, version 1.1.1*

Absolutely love this app and highly recommend to compulsive doodlers like me!

### 5/5 — Just right THERE

*2014-03-06, version 1.1.1*

At first, I thought this app was too simple! Where was all the fancy stuff?

It's perfect just the way it is. I get up in the morning with lots of ideas. I need a piece of paper. THERE it is. I love it. I don't have to go through a lot of hullabaloo to set anything up. Just choose a paper and start thinking or remembering or creating or doodling. Anytime of day or night!

Thanks.
