Easy to play and very interesting outlook. But I agree with the other reviewer that more coins should be given depending on winning points. ### 2/5 — Encourages fair play *2015-11-11, version 5.3* I like that it encourages fair play by asking for user names of those that spell the word instead of drawing it. Why play a drawing game if you're going to do that? It's crazy that your coins don't carry over, and that you can never make enough to play more than one or two games a day without spending money. Ok 99 cents, but it's the principal of it. ### 2/5 — Bug fixes *2015-10-29, version 5.3* Needs fixes or updates I can't connect to my face book and can't play because it's got bugs I have not tried this game before but I tried to download this two times on my iPad both times didn't connect to my face book or my e mail ..plz fix ### 4/5 — All i see is clouds *2015-08-22, version 5.3* Theres a glitch that puts white over the drawing and I cant see anything when it starts also this needs a fill bucket and size chooser but it fills my heart up cause my 2 favorite drawing apps AWF and Draw Quest closed 😥😥😥😥😭😭😭😭 ### 4/5 — Good App *2015-07-27, version 5.3* I've enjoyed playing this game a lot and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who wants a fun game to play. I would give 5 stars if there was an easier way of gaining coins, like 20 for every win. ### 3/5 — Coins should be given for points scored *2015-07-20, version 5.3* After scoring over 16,000 points playing this game for over a year now just this month I noticed that my coins are gone and now I'm only allowed to play maybe two games per day. In my opinion a player with this many points should always have coins to play with. What's wrong with you people? ### 3/5 — Paint artist *2015-05-07, version 5.2* I love this game but it certainly has quirks/bugs that need to be worked on. During high demand times when there are many players, there have been times when I have been booted off for no reason. There are people who continually WRITE THE WORDS...and it is spelled out that it is a drawing game. I have the opportunity to mark them for not abiding by the rules, but I don't feel that anyone behind the scene is monitoring this. Some draw nasty things or say nasty things as well. Would like it more if I could play along with those who truly want to draw. ### 3/5 — Could be better *2015-05-06, version 5.2* How do we turn off the ads. Needs more colors and drawing tools. Ever since art with friends closed I have been looking for a game to compare. This has potential but isn't it. I would definitely subscribe if it was. ### 1/5 — Horrid App *2015-05-02, version 5.2* I lost allllll of my coins and it no longer gives coins for logging in daily. My boyfriend has no problems with it on his iPad 2. The iPad 4 has no luck with this horrid app.. ### 1/5 — 😡 borderline stupid! *2015-03-21, version 5.1* Do NOT download this game... Every time that you go on it you have to send your email address, then wait for approval!? I don't care if you go and download it, coz you'll be deleting it straight after! BE WARNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This game = 💩 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊 ### 1/5 — Don't get it *2015-03-20, version 5.1* At first, I liked the game and it was really fun, then people just randomly reported me for foul language which I didn't even do and now I am banned. It's stupid because I dint even do anything....... ### 2/5 — Fun Game, but... *2015-03-15, version 5.1* I enjoy playing the free version but would not buy it. I cannot report people who just write the word out. It does not distribute drawing turns fairly and I have been reported for no reason. It would be fun to compliment drawers in a chat line. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2015-02-20, version 5.1* I downloaded the game thinking I could play online and draw. But it turns out you pay one coin every round. That means 10 COINS A GAME. I played 3 games, and I'd run out of coins. GUESS HOW YOU GET THE COINS BACK? Pay 6 dollars to get 200. That's 6 dollars for 20 games. WHAT A RIP OFF. ### 3/5 — No coins *2015-01-21, version 5.1* Me and my friend were having so much fun with this game, up until we realized we couldn't play anymore because we needed more coins to continue. It's an amazing game except for the coin mechanic. ### 3/5 — No coins please *2014-11-15, version 5.1* Ok so the game is fun and all but the coins are very annoying. At least make it without coins, or the total at the end of each game like the points you have...those should turn into bonus coins. ### 1/5 — What The Heck Is This? *2014-10-24, version 5.1* Wow! Fun game and all, but like, how are you suppose to get coins without getting to play? I deleted this app. Atleast make it FREE to play! No coins! Just fun! I hate this! ### 1/5 — Isketch online is better this is trash *2014-08-09, version 5.1* WORST GAME EVER TERRIBLE IM NOT PAYIN MONEY TO PLAY WITH THE PLAYERS THAT PLAY THIS GAME ONLY 15 PEOPLE ARE ON THE GAME ONCE I RUN OUT OF MONEY IM OUT THE F*CKING DOOR (GAME) ### 2/5 — O *2014-07-29, version 5.1* We liked it but for some reason it keeps saying I'm banned when I'm not doing anything to tht effect ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t connect *2019-05-25, version 5.3* No matter what I try, when I open the app it says “won’t connect/must have internet connection” and I AM connected ### 1/5 — Ehh ok *2018-11-04, version 5.3* Fails to load, when starting app it says no internet connection when I have full wifi reception then it crashes. I’m using an iPad Pro. ### 1/5 — This is a stupid app *2018-05-11, version 5.3* The app will not let me play. It keeps saying connection error try again even if I have good WiFi ### 1/5 — SUCKS👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 *2017-01-01, version 5.3* It keeps on saying my email address is unvalid👎👎 ### 1/5 — Can't log in *2016-11-20, version 5.3* Every time I've tried. I get same error: something went wrong, please try again later. Grrr so annoying. I cannot even play ### 1/5 — Not good *2016-03-30, version 5.3* When I was in a match I guessed the correct answer then it said I guessed it correct but then another player guessed it write so we both got the point ! They just copied me! And the app didn't do anything! Plus it's very glitchy and slow . Also it keeps taking you out of it !!! If you download it its just a waste of time. In the app the player who was drawing kept getting loads of points for nothing. I recommend this to so,done who wants to waste there time ### 1/5 — What a hack *2015-12-28, version 5.3* Bought the game, played for a bit with the rules, then got kicked out saying I wasn't playing nice, even though I wasn't writing the words out. Absolute joke this is. Do not waste your money. Absolutely no way to report this. Ten thumbs down. ### 1/5 — Won't let me in *2015-08-31, version 5.3* When I went back to play it after another game then I pressed proceed it didn't let me in. ### 1/5 — Dumb *2015-07-06, version 5.3* Dumbest game I have ever played. No coins, you can't play without coins so stupid! IM DISAPPOINTED ### 1/5 — They blew it! Don't bother. *2015-06-04, version 5.2* I was a fan, but with all their "upgrades" I first lost my privileges, then most recently, my hoarded 2k coins! They did not respond to my emails to acknowledge or remedy the problem. I paid for this application and have been a long time SWF player. There are many cheaters, so you need your "boot" privileges, and they zero out your coins, so if you don't pay, you won't play much, and to find a quality game, you need a lot of coins. Don't buy, it's not worth it any more. Shame on you for not responding to my emails. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2015-03-29, version 5.1* One word AMAZING!!!!! If you could rate 10000000 stars i would , You will not regret downloading this game ! Also a quick update tip please add more game options like arcade mode, fun mode etc. ### 5/5 — Fun *2015-03-29, version 5.1* Love playing with my bestiest friend.
