I didn’t really know about the complains(about the update), I only just want to have a Lasso tool to use though. Overall, a pretty good app if you know how to use it. ### 4/5 — 还可以 *2026-04-05, version 13.5.1* 还可以，就是好多东西都要广告，而且为什么我用柳叶笔就闪退？？？ ### 4/5 — Strange and wonderful *2025-09-27, version 13.3.2* To me this is a strange and wonderful art app like no other I've tried. It's built around traditional East Asian techniques and modern graphic design (it has vector tools and almost everything else you'd need). If you want to do Western style painting, or even sketching with a pencil, forget it. Western style calligraphy? Nope. You want to do something that looks like it belongs on a scroll or rice paper screen? Yep. I have more than a half century of experience with traditional European media, oils and such. If this was the only art app I had I'd be lost. But since I have many others that can sort of give me what I want, this one is a pleasant surprise. The primary drawback is the paucity of reference materials and tutorials. The in-app help is not very helpful. Although I've tried apps with even less guidance, I'd really appreciate as much as I can get. ### 3/5 — !! *2025-06-08, version 13.3.2* So, I have a lot to say. I rate the app at 3-4 stars. Here are a few disadvantages: 1. - there are no free normal brushes. I mean, the most "ok" brush (the first one) is too soapy, it is unpleasant to paint with it. 2 - the brushes seem to lag. (Neither the device nor the app lags, it's the brush itself.) I didn't find any other disadvantages. Perhaps because I was in the program for about 5-10 minutes. ### 4/5 — 全能画板 *2024-12-25, version 13.3.0* 这个很好用，唯一不好的点就是要充会员花钱 ### 4/5 — 4/5, here’s why… *2024-04-19, version 13.2.3* When I had the app, “Paintwork” it made me re-stall to this and that was pretty difficult, and the app is hard to figure out at first, but otherwise, everything is very organized, and fun! It’s a good thing to use if you are on a roadtrip, because it doesn’t require Wi-Fi. This is an amazing drawing tool and I definitely recommend this to my fellow artists! Have fun creating! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2020-08-27, version 9.0.0* This is such a great app for a young artist like me and it is super helpful! 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-07-03, version 9.0.0* Works very well ### 3/5 — Hi I just wanted to say thank you to you too please let *2020-06-28, version 9.0.0* Hi dan I wanna was the right thing you were going back tomorrow I gotta go get to your place I love you bye hey hey I love to do that your day is gonna I t I know what about the other one day going on here and you can have oa right thing to you I don’t think you could have any more of that I don’t think so I’ve been trying it to get it to you but I otherwise I wanna is it time is the weekend I gotta is a good night to you and you know what you gotta I wanna is that everything I was just wondering that if your dad was meant you would have been to your ohouse for the night and then I wanna have to come to you for the day and I have to go back to school I gotta is the day we we’re still working on it so everyone good to go bye bye hi I wanna was the night I gotta go see you soon I love to see you and your dad and ### 5/5 — To Sophie *2020-06-04, version 9.0.0* Hi sis this is for you I made it ### 5/5 — Best game EVER *2020-04-24, version 9.0.0* This is a really cool app just for if your good at drawing but I can’t believe that if I draw on this IM AMAZING I can’t believe this app LOVE IT 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dodgy *2024-07-29, version 13.2.3* This app used to be Paintwork, I had paid the lifetime subscription on that app. The creator took the Paintwork app renamed to this PW Drawing Pad and replaced Paintwork with an inferior product. When I try to open my work on Paintwork I get a message that says for a better experience this feature is no longer available. These features have been migrated to the PW drawing pad. ### 1/5 — Bruh the updates are terrible! *2024-04-20, version 13.2.3* This is like the third time you’ve held my artwork hostage by updating and making me repay. This is so ridiculous. I already had a lifetime membership to the last version and now you want me to buy it again. ### 1/5 — STOP UPDATING *2024-03-21, version 13.2.3* Any time I adjust to the new updates you change it again and this time you changed it so that I can’t even open my drawings! I even paid for the premium version of the app and now it’s a subscription that I’d have to pay additional money for??? My projects are ruined because you keep changing your software and screwing me over. ### 1/5 — Splitting the same App into multiple and charging *2024-03-20, version 13.2.3* I have always used the free Paintwork app and recently was forced to pay for the full version to do the same things I've always done, so I paid. Now it's instructing me to download the PW Drawing Pad App and pay a monthly fee. I don't know why you are creating more Apps and fees for the same use. ### 1/5 — Not all that *2020-11-02, version 9.0.0* Ok so I just got this game thinking oh ok this sounds fun but when I play it it's like omg this is so boaring so I try coloring and I try drawing but every time I touch the screen it just disappears all the stuff I did just gone and you can't draw anything at all so I do not recommend this and to the creator please fix this game or try harder thank you love I don't like this game😠😤🙄 Oh and please make this not so childish ### 1/5 — Trash🤮🤮 *2020-10-24, version 9.0.0* The size doesn’t even work this is why I pay for drawing apps ### 1/5 — This is trash *2020-07-19, version 9.0.0* When you select a pencil,paint brush, or anything, you get an option to select a color as well. The color you select outlines a white line, literally trash. 🤮 ### 1/5 — HAte this *2020-03-26, version 9.0.0* I dont like it bc it doesent have what I wanted ### 1/5 — Do not download this app🙁 *2020-01-01, version 9.0.0* If you do, good luck sleeping tonight 😰 ### 1/5 — HORIBLE *2019-06-10, version 8.6.6* This app is like a child coloring game I DO NOT RECOMMED, and it doesn’t even have good color choices, you have to choose from colors they give you, and the brushes are awful, I mean I guess you get what you pay for ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So good!! *2026-08-05, version 13.6.1* This app is SO much fun!! There may be a lot of things you need to pay for but all brushes are free!! I absolutely LOVE this app and I use this all the time. There’s not really a sketch brush but I don’t care. It’s so fun! One of my only problems is the Graffiti Paint Brush Pack. It gives you colors that you might not want. But overall, so fun!! ### 5/5 — This app is good, but please let it have like a playback recording of where like you can see your ar *2026-07-09, version 13.6.0* Can you have a playback mode where I can see my art from where I drew it to now like the end result kind of like ibis paint where has a playback where you can see your drawing as you draw it thank you ### 5/5 — h *2026-02-14, version 13.5.1* PW DRAWING PAAAAAAAAD BRING BACK THE ANIMATION OPTION AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!!!! ### 5/5 — 2025 *2025-06-02* Draw and paint ### 5/5 — 很不错奥 *2024-12-05, version 13.2.3* 对于这个软件我觉得还行 ### 5/5 — Best drawing game ever and more updates! *2024-10-30, version 13.2.3* Pw drawingpad is a doodle game, is has great pictures drawn by an artist it is fun for all who love to draw! Al through what if you can add a few more things though even though it has a lot! And also what if everyone on this app is free? Then we would have the best time ever on this game! And please be sure that my son loves this game his 15 year old sister has it too and they like it a lot! ### 5/5 — 好用！ *2024-10-22, version 13.2.3* 好用！ ### 5/5 — Muy buena *2024-06-11, version 13.2.3* Me encanta esta aplicación ### 5/5 — Londynn *2021-01-09, version 9.0.0* Yeah ### 5/5 — I UV IT *2020-10-01, version 9.0.0* Ima kid a luv it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
