Simple and easy to use. Please optimize this app for the 4" screen. ### 4/5 — Simple and fun *2013-01-10, version 0* Simple, fun and easy to use. Could have a few more functionalities, such as the other reviewers suggest, but that's not the niche of this app. ### 4/5 — Good but... *2012-05-31, version 0* I originally got this app for my second gen iPod touch. It worked great. Simple, to the point, quick loading, no useless features. I've since lost my iPod touch (which I'm still very sad about) but now I have a nice new iPhone 4. Unfortunately, times have changed, yet this app has not. Retina display and multitasking are the only things missing. I don't think they'd be too hard to implement. Have the devs left this app to rot? I hope they fix these things, because this app was the best at what it did, at least to my knowledge. ### 3/5 — Cool but... *2012-03-09, version 0* The app is ok but there's a glitch. Somehow, every time I draw anything it automatically puts a dot up on the left hand corner. It doesn't let me even draw that far over to the edge -_- ### 2/5 — Not enough... *2010-02-18, version 0* ...colors styles or anything. For me I played it once and deleted it. Wish it had at least more colors. ### 3/5 — Ryan WWFC  *2010-02-15, version 0* Good overall app, but update needs to be brought out so that you can actually colour in the bottom, rather than having a thin un-coloured line if you are looking to create a background.  from me. Cheers!  ### 3/5 — GET If you want *2010-02-12, version 0* To Do two colors press two fingers on screen to go back to coloring Do that pressing thing again!!!! :o)!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be creative and have FUN !!!!! ### 5/5 — Perfectly simple *2010-01-31, version 0* Exactly what I wanted! Very simple and works well. ### 4/5 — I give stars *2010-01-30, version 0* I think thiis app is pretty fun but it could use more colors and more tools but it is good ### 2/5 — Has potential *2010-01-01, version 0* Works very well, but the limited colors are a crippling drawback. ### 4/5 — Pretty coool BUT *2009-12-28, version 0* needs more colors..and possibly an auto save..but more colors would make it 5stars:) ### 4/5 — Please read... *2009-12-27, version 0* For free its an okay app. I just wished you could do a little more on it though. Other than that it was a great app. I reccomend it, go ahead its free. Oh and play cod6 modern warfare (ps3) AWESOME!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — horrible *2017-02-02* can draw black on white no way to change colours no way to save exit the app and your drawing is gone ### 1/5 — No longer works with current iOS *2016-02-03* Title says it all. Was clunky before, and now it is completely non-functional ### 1/5 — Crashes/Doesn't Load *2015-11-08* Don't waste your time!!! This "app" crashes or the only thing you get is a white screen!!! ### 1/5 — Zero stars *2015-10-31, version 0* Even the bad reviews made it sound like what I was looking for. But just a white screen and it crashes when you try the two finger gesture was actually not what I was looking for. Live and learn. ### 1/5 — Boring!!! *2010-01-26, version 0* Absolutely rubbish !!! It was pathetic The only good thing about it was being able to use two fingers to switch between the menu and canvas!!!!! ### 1/5 — It Wont Sync.. *2010-01-24, version 0* Im Sure This App Is Great But It Wont Sync To My iPod! Ive Tried Loads Of Times But It Just Wont Do It... ### 1/5 — DUMB!!! *2010-01-18, version 0* I can only draw in black!!!!! Don't wast your space!! This app is sooo DUMD!!!!! ### 1/5 — not what i was looking for *2010-01-18, version 0* i thought it would be like doodle buddy , but more fun .... but i guess the display pictures they show you on the app store make it look better than it is . i perfer doodle buddy more because it has way more features , and its more fun & it does pass time on doodle buddy . i cant say it was that bad though , it was a free version ... what more could you expect . but im just going to stick with doodle buddy . ### 1/5 — Simple draw bore *2009-12-20, version 0* So boring get the better one that is doddle buddy way better. ### 1/5 — Bad *2009-11-19, version 0* App is not good To make it acceptable then give more colour an all other stuff in comments above Do not get app! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy, tiny, compact app *2025-09-11* This super easy to use app is great to jot quick sketches out, like for games. ### 5/5 — Update *2020-09-11* Update to work on 64 bit devices ### 5/5 — Second best app I ever had *2014-11-14* Simple, fast, exactly what I want. For those who want to take notes with this, this app maybe too light weighted to do it. Btw the best app is clear. ### 5/5 — What's not to like about it? *2012-08-11* It's such a simple app! It's everything you need and nothing you don't for a quick simple note or sketch - No stupid ads or freeware garbage. I can't believe anyone would complain. ### 5/5 — First drawing app I'll ever used the most *2011-12-06* Tried other drawing app back in 09' an was so far the best basic tool when I wanted draw for some ideas and now their other apps like sketchbook app (free version) which bring more depth in art for mobile use...aside want something fun and easy to use it's this app!!! I would say it need more color and something that mix up the color with the colors, thought. Basic. Kids can use it for fun. Need more corors. Few mix tools ### 5/5 — Works like a charm *2011-01-25, version 0* It seen to have no bugs. I recomend this app. Don't listen to the other people. :-) and it always works awesome ### 5/5 — Simple - indeed *2011-01-09* Very simple drawing app. No fuss, no mess. If that is what you're looking for this is the app for you. If you want lots of features, move along. ### 5/5 — Cracking app *2010-06-25, version 0* Great fun! ### 5/5 — Impressive *2010-03-15* Simple draw suites it's same......it is indeed very simple but also very good for a free app. The colors that it comes with look like a small variety, but you wouldn't beleave how many things you can create. I'm very impressed and I highly recomend this app to you! ### 5/5 — Simply superb *2010-02-06, version 0* You may find apps with more features but you will rarely find one that is as useful as this. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
