User reviews

Good concept Poor QOL

I do believe this is a great tool as a student but the app is really frustrating to utilize sometimes. No palm rejection, no “erase all” feature, the eraser is just so clunky overall…

This is most amazing app!

It’s so great if you’re studying an engineering discipline. 💯

why no stars for no course credit?

dumb rule

Outdated and old

It’s so frustrating to use this app because it lacks palm rejection and it has one of the worst if not the worst eraser you can ever use. I hate this app with passion

Some fixes needed

Hi i really like this app but i would like some additional features.
Firstly the progress doesn't save.
The isometric paper when drawing should have a snap lock / grid lock to be at the exact points. Also instead of having to hold just allow the option for straight lines.
These would help drastically as my main goal is to improve my brain and not my drawing accuracy.
Thank you
