### 4/5 — Great… with reservations..

*2026-04-14, version 1.2.3*

Love it when it’s working… but I have a few issues with saving and now have just lost my entire gallery! Years of drawings gone…!

### 2/5 — Good but not the best

*2025-05-08, version 1.2.3*

Ok so this app is good not the worst I’ve used but I don’t like how it looks and everything but the good thing is u can take the pencil off cause if u have the pencil on u just go everywhere with it

### 2/5 — Why

*2025-03-03, version 1.2.3*

This drawing app is relaxing and fun, but I see problems everywhere here. Kicking me out of the app randomly, refusing to save my hard work, glitching the move tool until the game shuts down… it’s awful! Luckily for the app, it’s the only app that can act TRACE THINGS, so a lot of people are forced to just get stuck using it.

### 3/5 — I don’t like this game so much..😕

*2023-12-27, version 1.2.3*

This game is old

### 4/5 — Very good

*2023-12-02, version 1.2.3*

When I got it I put on the pencil thing at the top and I didn’t know how to undo it but I found out and then made another drawing I love the app very good only which the thing I wish is that the brush size was bigger like I was trying to rub it out but then my stupid brain taped it so 4 stars I really like it

### 4/5 — Amazing

*2023-10-24, version 1.2.3*

It is amazing but may need auto save and a bigger eraser.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2023-05-10, version 1.2.3*

This is a pretty good app fun for tracing but doesn’t always cooperate

### 4/5 — It’s really good but…

*2023-03-20, version 1.2.3*

I love it but I find using the pencil thing makes it harder but that’s just my opinion and you can not use it if you don’t want to

### 3/5 — Awesome

*2023-02-05, version 1.2.3*

It is alright but the only thing is you can’t zoom in with your fingers
And you can’t change your brush.

### 4/5 — Works well

*2023-02-04, version 1.2.3*

I enjoy this app for tracing images and using them for projects. Tried downloading many apps before that you had to pay for or didn’t have the option to just simply trace / draw. It is very straight forward and as stated before simple. Less is more when it comes to to this app and it’s exactly what I needed.

### 3/5 — .

*2023-01-03, version 1.2.3*

its a good app but the buttons on the side are in the way and it won’t save to my camera roll when i press “save”

### 4/5 — Wow so good

*2022-12-08, version 1.2.3*

I absolutely love this app and wish I could give it five stars but the pictures are blurry

### 4/5 — It’s okay

*2022-12-05, version 1.2.3*

I love this app it’s very fun but it can be a bit frustrating becuase the buttons on the side don’t do anything and it can block you from drawing and there isn’t a shading tool which I find a bit annoying 😅 great fun app in genral

### 4/5 — Good tracing app

*2022-09-24, version 1.2.3*

This is the first app that I have found usable for me! It’s not perfect but I can trace my pictures and save for printing. It would be nice if there were a lighter and finer pencil tip though 😊

### 2/5 — Kinda stupid

*2022-08-24, version 1.2.3*

Where you draw it draws above it not directly where you want it to so stupid I hate whoever made that it was a stupid idea using this app is stupid worst tracing app ever.

### 5/5 — i like to trace my dogs

*2022-08-18, version 1.2.3*

this app is awesome and i can draw my dogs now

### 4/5 — Honestly super solid

*2022-07-11, version 1.2.3*

Just add a few more brushes, auto save, & orientation changes, then it's perfect!

### 3/5 — Meh

*2022-06-28, version 1.2.3*

Just meh. I don’t really like it there’s no steps to trace and sketch

### 5/5 — Lovely app

*2022-06-17, version 1.2.3*

The app is amazing

### 1/5 — Used to work

*2022-12-14, version 1.2.3*

Now the pencil doesn’t align with what I want to trace- it’s offset by about an inch, and it stops tracing after a couple of inches. The app is useless.

### 1/5 — Pencil placement way off

*2022-05-24, version 1.2.3*

Tried this app.  Whether I used my Apple Pencil or finger for tracing, the placement of my pencil/ finger did not equal placement of trace on picture.  So, I would try and trace a photo, and be way off from the actual lines.  Definitely wouldn’t recommend using this.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2022-01-08, version 1.2.3*

It’s not that good tbh sorry

### 1/5 — I struggled with this app

*2021-12-12, version 1.2.3*

I couldn’t do any thing it was really hard for me to trace and I’m a really good artist\ tracer😢👿😿👎🏻🐈🐕‍🦺🐇🦒🐆🦓🚘 I couldn’t do any.

### 1/5 — It needs so much

*2021-06-20, version 1.2.3*

Let’s just start with well every time I scale after I press done it crashes the app and plus it only lets me scale or select one of my pictures and plus well it just needs a lot of work

### 1/5 — Horrible app.

*2021-02-14, version 1.2.3*

Old needs to be updated so that it supports Apple Pencil

### 1/5 — DREADFUL

*2021-02-13, version 1.2.3*

I wanted to trace a flower, but I had to download the pictures, and after I downloaded them IT DOESN'T EVERN WORK!

Do not get this app waste of storage.

### 1/5 — Horrible app😑

*2021-02-10, version 1.2.3*

The reason why I put 1 reviewing is because ITS HORRIBLE TO HORRIBLE IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN IT it will waste your time listen To me and don’t download this app!

### 1/5 — Bad

*2020-11-12, version 1.2.3*

I spent 3 hours on a single project and saved and everything just for the app to crash every single time i go into my gallery. not to mention extremely buggy overall very bad app

### 1/5 — Tracing

*2020-10-22, version 1.2.3*

### 5/5 — Only app I could find that does this!

*2025-03-28, version 1.2.3*

This was the only app I could find that lets you actually trace over images on your device directly.

Other apps I saw all were for augmented reality where you trace on real paper and use your camera with their app.

But this app lets you trace on the app.

And it works great.

### 5/5 — Great little app

### 5/5 — Amazing app I totally recommend it

*2023-04-08, version 1.2.3*

When you get a hang of the pencil your alright and I love how you can choose any picture you want out of the on that the app provides or you own pictures and me personally love to do pictures of either my cat or me and my cat so I definitely would recommend this app to you whether you like tracing or not you don’t need internet so and you can even play in the car so if you think you will like this game get it I definitely recommend it
