### 3/5 — bought the app but still have to purchase more...

*2018-07-24*

i bought this app awhile ago and still have to buy more to unlock a few more brushes? what? why?

### 5/5 — Omg!!!!

*2018-01-30*

So I have just about every single drawing app in the App Store. I have spent 100s on them. Every time I open my ipad I go right to this. It's like therapy on my ipad. Especially with my Apple Pencil.  If anyone wants to try the pencil I open this app.  I just wish you could zoom in while drawing and unlimited undo.

### 5/5 — Keeps Getting Better

*2017-02-18*

I've loved this app since its simple beginning.  Now I have to be careful when I start drawing in Scribblify because suddenly hours go by before I realize it.  Great for all ages:  use it to make artwork, learn patterns or play it almost as a game.

### 4/5 — Fun app for a 4 year old

*2017-01-25, version 4.0*

If you are so bored with your life and can't find anything better to do and prefer to scribble with coloured lines, this app is for you.
4 stars from my 4 year old

This app is better then good. If you take the time to learn the tools you will be mesmerized, I promise.
I fall in love with this app all over again every single day. I keep finding different things to love about it, like hidden jewels to brighten my day, honestly. Get it.

### 5/5 — Fun Squggling

*2015-05-10*

If you just like the feeling of strange colors flowing-growing off of your fingers in weaves and twists- or if you don't have anyone to text or call, but just don't feel like putting you iPhone down, thus fun app may be for you! I like it.

 ○ Stunning HD retina support for compatible devices. Every brush and interface element has been recreated from scratch to take full advantage of high resolution displays.

 ○ Complete support for the latest iOS devices including iPhone 5 and new iPad; now you can create and save incredibly detailed drawings using the device's full screen resolution (up to 2048x1536 on the new iPad).

 ○ Newly redesigned touch interpolation system to ensure smooth and consistent strokes regardless of how fast or slow you draw. This dramatically improves the quality and appearance of most brushes.

 ○ Fully revamped brush scaling system that allows every brush to scale across a full range of sizes from small to large. Previously, only a few brushes supported small sizes.

 ○ New preset background support. Select from one of 28 preset backgrounds and change it at any time while drawing.  Each preset background can also be inverted to effectively create more than 55 textures. Or, import your own image through the background picker (great for tracing--can be swapped out for another background before saving).

 ○ Enhanced quality and optimization of imported and exported images; images saved to photo library will be lossless PNGs to preserve full detail.

 ○ Fixed bug that would sometimes cause Scribblify to crash upon open or while exporting the image on some devices.
