### 1/5 — It sucks

*2026-07-23*

When I started using it I got I locked the drawing in like it couldn’t move and it kept unlocking my phone and it gave me a virus that opened corn sites

### 4/5 — Lagging

*2026-06-21*

It’s a good app i love the ar tracing but i only get to draw for like 10 minutes then the app kicks me out and my phone starts to glitch like crazy..

### 5/5 — Drawing

*2026-06-02*

Just awesome

### 5/5 — Does what I want fast

*2026-05-14*

I’ve tried a ton of these tracing apps and honestly this one gets you started the quickest and has the most flexibility for adjusting photos (especially if I’m working on an uneven surface). The import photo feature works great too
