Works perfectly well & handy for all sorts of stuff I want to do. Still no bugs w/ iPhone 17 & iOS 26.5. [I went for the Pro version] ### 5/5 — My go to app *2026-06-30, version 10.0.2* This is the app I keep coming back to. So easy to use and lots of great tools! ### 4/5 — Show! *2026-06-28* Beirando s excelência! 👏🏼 ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-06-28, version 10.0.2* I have used this app for at least 10 years possibly longer and it is excellent for picture at a team when you want to repair some small blemish or something and actually there is a lot more that you can do besides that. It is a great app. ### 5/5 — Need more brush types *2026-06-21, version 10.0.2* Honestly it should stay free, but it should be multiplayer challenge stuff. Otherwise, it’s a really good app. Just make it more easy and fun like challenges. 5 stars ### 5/5 — Life *2026-06-18, version 10.0.2* It’s ### 5/5 — Image and Document handling *2026-06-16, version 10.0.2* This is one of the most useful Apps that I own. ### 5/5 — You Doodle *2026-06-16, version 10.0.2* Yes. We did it good so far on You Doodle. ### 5/5 — My Meme Maker *2026-06-13, version 10.0.2* I use this app every day ### 5/5 — Review *2026-06-12, version 10.0.2* I've been using this app since 2017. To this day I still mainly use this for artwork and edits, I'm glad this is so easy to use! ### 5/5 — Been using for 10+ Years *2026-06-04, version 10.0.1* I’ve been using this photo editor for a VERY long time and it is THE EASIEST photo editor and probably THE BEST photo editor that does WAY MORE things that most “photo editors” do and it’s FREE!!! Great work you guys! ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-06-04, version 10.0.1* I use this app all the time ### 5/5 — 🤞🏽 *2026-05-26, version 10.0.1* I’ve been using this app for idk, upwards of like, 6+ years - and I’ve never had to download anything else. I use this to edit photos, create images and posts and once I really took in how much can be achieved with the app - it’s kinda endless with the possibilities, as if it’s something close to photoshop. Limited of course, but I’m not trying to completely retouch an image or create a poster from scratch. ### 5/5 — 당신은 낙서 *2026-05-23* 그림이나 사진 편집이 너무 편안하고 좋아요?! ### 5/5 — Enjoy ! *2026-05-20, version 10.0.1* A Very Fun Tool! Works different than many of this type of app; the more you play, you discovery imaginative but easy results. ### 5/5 — Amazing App with Effective Controls *2026-05-20, version 10.0.1* It is rare to find an app that survive multiple phone upgrades, but this app has been on my home screen since October 2016. Having used this app for nearly ten years, I can confidently say it is the ultimate creative Swiss Army knife for anyone who treats their photo library like a canvas. Whether I’m performing a quick "surgical" edit by drawing on photos and adding precise text and shapes, or diving into a full-blown project using advanced layers and photo blending, the interface remains intuitive and snappy. The sheer depth of features—from the whimsical stamps and stickers to the professional-grade scrapbook construction with frames and collages—makes it just as useful for a five-minute meme as it is for a thoughtful digital keepsake. I appreciate how the developers have managed to keep the app consistently reliable and feature-packed without losing the user-friendly spark that hooked me a decade ago. If you need a versatile, all-in-one powerhouse for your images, this is the gold standard. ### 5/5 — For artists *2026-05-16, version 10.0.1* I constantly use this to sketch over photos of my paintings to help me plan out next steps and point out things I need to fix I love this app as an artist ### 5/5 — I love this App *2026-05-16, version 10.0.1* Perfectly easy to use, fulfills tasks brilliantly. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — False advertising as a free app *2026-07-16, version 10.0.2* There aren’t any features that are actually free. It’s free to download, but then any activity tries to push you for payment and does an automatic prompt to follow them on Instagram to exit out. Very predatory and annoying. ### 1/5 — Was one of the best …. *2026-04-29, version 10.0.1* Unfortunately after using this app for around ten years now and considering it to be one of the best, just lately I can’t use it at all. The text entry tool decided to stop working and the app crashes each time it is selected. Constant reinstall and restarts makes no difference. Worst of all, requests for support go unanswered so I can only presume that either they don’t know the answer - or simply don’t care. This is often what happens when creators become complacent. Shame. ### 1/5 — No Free Version *2026-03-12, version 10.0.1* Come on brah ### 1/5 — Why the money *2026-03-01, version 10.0.1* Ok so when I bought this game I was going to draw but when I noticed i needed to change my colors but when i was going to you hade to PAY FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤬 ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-08-27, version 9.0.0* Awful you have to pay for almost everything ### 1/5 — Started playing unskippable ads *2025-08-04, version 9.0.0* Purchased this outright a few years ago and it’s suddenly started playing UNSKIPPABLE adverts every time I’m trying to import and edit a picture. Absolutely unforgivable!! ### 1/5 — Lies *2025-07-27, version 9.0.0* It says it is completely free but you can’t color anything unless you pay can’t add anything unless you pay and they probably pay people to write them good reviews ### 1/5 — The app is not that great *2025-07-15* Most reviews shown here are not what it seems and the app itself is not very intuitive or useful. Waste of time really! ### 1/5 — むり *2025-05-08* 課金させようとしてくる 色かえれなくなりました ### 1/5 — Annoying bug *2025-03-23, version 9.0.0* Randomly the size of the brush changed bigger for no reason ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brilliant - Do not change this app *2026-08-29, version 10.0.2* Not joking, the mechanics of this app has been instrumental and almost synchronised with my drawing style and I feel the way I draw is almost synonymous with the different, unique techniques this app allows. I absolutely love the manualness of it, without ‘dead’ shortcuts of ease that other apps have, like, e.g, procreate. It is the one app where true art can be transferred into a digital realm with the allowance of the fact that it’s digital to influence the medium of the work without killing it with convenience. Awesome! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-28, version 10.0.2* I use this for everything. All,my drawings and design ### 5/5 — 20 year review *2026-08-23, version 10.0.2* For 20 years this has been my go to app for quick on the go digital manipulation and it’s FREE can’t be beat thanks so much ### 5/5 — Owner *2026-08-14, version 10.0.2* Love it It works great ### 5/5 — Gracias fabuloso *2026-07-27, version 10.0.2* Es maravilloso expresar el sentimiento que causa un recuerdo ### 5/5 — The best drawing app *2026-07-26, version 10.0.2* I’ve been using this app literally for 10 years. It’s extremely versatile and has so many uses, whether it’s editing pictures, layering pictures, drawing shapes and lines, stamping, almost anything you’d need - this app does that and so much more. An amazing value and an app I continue to go back to even after all these years. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-07-22, version 10.0.2* Easiest all-in-one art app for beginners. Only gripe is that I wish there were more layer options… as well as an option to save as higher quality for blowing up/printing. ### 5/5 — Been using this app for a decade *2026-07-16, version 10.0.2* Overall amazing app. So many things you can do. Perfect for easily editing photos in any way you need. ### 5/5 — Creative *2026-07-13, version 10.0.2* I love this app ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-07-06, version 10.0.2* I needed an app so I could make a banner for my father & this was so easy! It has many different options to customize whatever you neee to make. I really enjoy it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
