### 1/5 — Tricked.

*2023-04-07*

I didn’t want to buy a app which has no features and is not in English. How do I get a refund.

### 4/5 — Awesome but there’s too many ads

*2023-02-23*

Every time you push the save and delete button, it pops up an ad.

### 3/5 — I don’t know what to title this 😅

*2023-01-26*

It’s pretty good but I would prefer a better white board app but this is REALLY good if you have children

### 1/5 — DONT DOWNLOAD!!!

*2022-11-26*

So, I thought this was whiteboard fox, BUT NO. THEY LITERALLY JUST TRICKED ME. I WANTED TO DO A WHITEBOARD WITH MY FRIENDS, and guess what? You can’t do a color palette. There’s only a few colors available, and it needs more improvement, this is disappointing. And, I couldn’t even read Japanese and my settings was at English. PLEASE MAKE MORE IMPROVEMENTS. THIS IS REALLY ANNOYING. And also, these updates are just bug fixes :l nothing new. So that is why you should not buy this crazy ridiculous time wasting app. Good bye, peace.

### 1/5 — So bad

*2022-11-12, version 2.2.9*

When I try to upload a photo on the screen it just says something in Japanese and an ad pops up randomly so bad

### 4/5 — Language problem

*2022-06-10*

Default language for my device is English but all the options are in Japanese, so I can’t rate it 5 stars. I can still get around and it satisfies all my needs. Overall, I don’t think this is as bad as other people say

### 1/5 — THIS GAME IS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!

*2021-04-22, version 2.2.4*

The ads the more ads ads ads ads ugh so many ads and it only lets me use half a screen it’s horrible

### 5/5 — Bloody amazing

*2019-12-11, version 2.1.2*

Absolutely amazing

### 1/5 — Too many adds & cant save photos

*2019-10-26, version 2.1.2*

There are too many adds. When you click the camera button it doesn’t work either

### 1/5 — Is 0 stars an option?

*2019-10-18*

After any action, you must watch or dismiss an ad. When not saving, you also have passive ads. Had to delete after using for about 4 minutes.
