### 5/5 — Thanks for who made this

*2026-06-22, version 3.11*

Great job to whoever made this app its the perfect way to draw my axolotls

### 4/5 — Paint bucket function

*2026-01-17, version 3.11*

For some reasons the paint bucket colors in random parts of photo. If don’t use that on function, this is the greats drawing app. Been using it for 5 years

### 5/5 — 好好玩。

*2025-06-08, version 3.11*

谢谢你，因为可以加背景。

### 5/5 — Amazing drawing app!

*2025-04-20, version 3.11*

This game was introduced to me when I went to my bestie’s house, my bestie’s sister used this app to draw characters and just have fun, I know use this app in my free time to draw and just have fun, where I can add pictures and outline it is really cool, this app makes me interested in art and drawing and makes me learn a lot of new stuff in drawing in digital art, this app is really awesome, everyone should try it!

### 4/5 — Rating

*2025-03-13, version 3.11*

So fun but lots of adds

### 4/5 — Good could be better

*2025-01-13, version 3.9*

It's pretty good and all I have about 75-150 drawings on here I've been using it for around a year it's great BUT. It has way to many ads cool it down, not only that. Whatever I'm done drawing something and I click the gallery button and I click on a drawing or make a new one it doesn't let me use the color tool or the layers and unplayable so I have to reopen the app and it's annoying sometimes it just doesn't work when I do it please fix its quiet annoying, also need more brushes and update the button where you choose / make a color please and thank you

### 2/5 — The bucket tool is still glitchy on iPhone 14

*2025-01-05, version 3.11*

In 2023, the app was updated and the bucket tool got screwed up with colors being spazzed everywhere. This needs to be fixed.

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-08-23, version 3.11*

Um it asked me to do this but it's very good

### 2/5 — Would still be awesome if the glitches were patched…

*2023-11-29*

I don’t know how to explain this; but ever since this new update (its also in the sequel), if you fill in various areas of a drawing with the bucket tool, the outline for it slowly starts to blur which it didn’t do originally. Let me explain:

If you tap one various area with the bucket tool, it fills in and gets blurry.

Formerly, when you pressed it once, the outline was fine and you could fill in the rest of the drawing without the outline problem.

For an example, draw a flower, fill each of the petals with one or various colors, and the outline will start to blur. 

Also, when you fill just any area of the drawing, these faded squiggle marks will appear on the screen and sometimes when you touch one blank area, the other blank area will randomly get filled in by no command at all. For an example: draw a face or an entire character with two eyeballs and color fill one of them. These issuses didn’t happen originally. I hope this review gets noticed and these glitches get fixed. Otherwise it prevents an awesome app (since 2016 for me) from being great and it would affect anyone from enjoying it! 

UPDATE: These issues only happen on the iPhone 14 pro release. I would still like to see these fixed in the future.

### 4/5 — Hallelujah we can merge layers!

*2023-11-12, version 3.11*

They finally fixed the merge layer issue! Love this app, been using it for years!
