Doubles that task. ### 4/5 — It was perfect until recently when some of the button features like the"fill" option just started *2026-07-17, version 10.0.2* Lines on my iPad are Skippy. Doubles that task. ### 4/5 — Better photo app one price. *2026-05-04, version 10.0.1* Thank you for being a premium one price app .. The only flaw I have is sketchbook won't work with ipencil or finger what is it supposed to do? Fix the sketchbook & it be 5stars. ### 3/5 — Good app *2026-04-26, version 10.0.1* I like the app. I just hate that it asks for a review every time you launch it. ### 2/5 — I give this 5 stars for 5 yrs, but now needs update *2026-04-20, version 10.0.1* This app works great for 5 years until last iOS update. I used it for so many things. I only rated it this way to get developers attention. Please fix and I will put back on 5 stars. When I drop a picture on top I’m doing it to create a shadow but with it comes text that cannot be removed. I look forwarded to this being resolved as without it being fixed this app is not useful Thank you for developers attention to this problem. ### 5/5 — Loving it, always have, well worth the coin. *2026-04-16, version 10.0.1* I’ve been using this app for years, to be more specific I had been using the free version for many years on my phone for simple edits but all that changed this Christmas when I got an iPad Pro as a gift, once I had a full on tablet I was able to do far more in depth photo editing and seeing how I was already used to the interface from the free version of this app it only made sense that I buy the pro version. I’m quite happy to have supported this apps developer or team of developers if there is one, I notice there are continued updates for this app and I can also see that the developers communicate with comments and work on making this app better, it’s good to see and it gave me confidence in spending my money on the app. ### 5/5 — Get this app! *2026-01-23, version 10.0.0* I had a small issue, and the dev got back to me instantly. I have had the trio of YD apps for a long time and I highly recommend… very easy to learn these apps. I use them daily. ### 3/5 — This app was the best *2026-01-21, version 10.0.0* 10.0 update I had been using this for years, ios7 I think, not sure what happened but basic things like sampling colours doesn’t work but only white or light colours. Also random word appearing vertical on my screen in the menu ### 5/5 — Essential *2026-01-20, version 10.0.0* I’ve used this app everyday for almost 10 years, everything from memes to invoices to sophistbcated ’shops, to graphic design. Wouldn’t know what to do without it ### 5/5 — Rudimentary photoshop & ms paint for ios, even slmost blender-y *2025-12-09, version 10.0.0* layers, fx, screen recording, make pdfs, stop-motions, collages, pngs, you only have two layers to work with unlike photoshop but once you figure out a workflow that isn't an issue. there are three versions of the app and copy/paste. Update: now we have freeform to use as a pasteboard. in fin ite. Infinite. Infinity. i have been working with this program for years and made so much using. i love it. my ig is @_liquidcrystal display to see some collages and videos i've made with it. Not that i post there anymore! Xoxo love this app. responsive dev. it's great. worth every penny. Also free but pay for it. So good. ### 5/5 — Best mobile photoshop alt *2025-12-04, version 10.0.0* Used this app for years to edit countless photos. Best photoshop alternative for iPhone. Very simple and easy to use. ### 5/5 — I HAVE CHERISHED THIS APP FOR MORE THAN 10 years *2025-11-21, version 10.0.0* I am perfectly in love with this app... the best ever. THIS APP IS THE BOSS. ### 5/5 — My butt belongs to you *2025-11-09, version 9.0.0* Please enable the function to add multiple fonts at once ### 5/5 — I love this app. It’s so much fun. *2025-10-30, version 9.0.0* Ever since I’ve had this app like for many years now I’ve enjoyed it always go back to it. It’s very useful for many application applications. Thank you to the creators. ### 5/5 — Me encanta *2025-09-10, version 9.0.0* Lo uso todos los días ### 5/5 — Classic *2025-09-04, version 9.0.0* Great alternative to photoshop. Been using this for 10 years now. ### 5/5 — So much magic! *2025-06-09, version 9.0.0* With basic tools, I have been able to create beautiful, beautiful art! ### 2/5 — Disappointment *2025-04-26, version 9.0.0* Outline tool hasn’t worked for months. I purchased all versions. All the same. No outline, lines are blurry. Really wish they would fix the problems. I really use to enjoy using their apps ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Closes *2025-09-18, version 9.0.0* APP Closes every time I try to add text! ### 1/5 — Not recommended *2025-08-04, version 9.0.0* Causes you to lose your work and text. ### 1/5 — My favorite app *2022-04-23, version 7.9.3* I use this app pretty much every day and now prefer it over Photoshop. I’ve made professional looking Christmas cards for friends going on 10 years now. Jeff who made the app is great at responding for technical issues. This is the first app that was completely worth the small amount to pay for. There seems to be regular updates and improvements to the app as well. Somethings that goes stale and unattended like many other apps that disappear overtime. ### 1/5 — Never again!! *2021-11-17, version 7.9.0* Waste of money!!! Way too difficult and finding instructions on how to do anything close to impossible!!! Yea nice you find the tutorials they don’t match what’s actually in the app🙄 I want my money back!!! ### 1/5 — iOS 13 Action Menu Editing *2021-04-30* Trying to set a custom color for fill and brush doesn’t set the color. You pick the color from the custom adjustment, it’s there and you choose it and then it doesn’t change to that color. Either it’s a bug or you’ve got a not so intelligent way of actually assigning the color to the tool because I can’t figure out how to pick it… even setting it as a favorite doesn’t assign it and I’m clicking on it to use it but it doesn’t set the tool to that color. When editing a picture via the action menu within iOS 13 (where it doesn’t actually open the app and import the photo, when saved, the edited photo and it’s contents resolution goes down the drain. Everything is blurry and bad. You need to fix this ASAP! ### 1/5 — Don’t like paying for annoyance *2021-04-18, version 7.8.7* Constantly annoys you to review the app every time you save. I expect better from apps that I purchase. So here is your review that you wanted so badly. ### 1/5 — Really cool *2020-10-11, version 7.8.6* Just needs the bandaid one that photoplop has Having said this, it has a lot of very usable features to improve pics before posting them, like cropping, changing the size (often pics are too blurry because they are too small and making them bigger makes them sharper with this app, contrast, sharpen. Photoshop tends to sell features per unit. I am so happy to have one program that has it all, except the bandaid. Haha (I gave it a one star because even when you pay for it and give a 5 star they still constantly nag you to give it 5 stars over and over. You may as well not pay for it.) ### 1/5 — Se cierra 😡 *2020-09-08, version 7.8.3* Tiene ya mucho que la uso, pero esta ves decidí comprar la versión Pro y cuando le doy para agregar Texto la app se cierra de golpe... qué pasa? No pude ni siquiera estrenarla 😤😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — How do I cancel??? Unclear charges *2018-08-27, version 7.6.7* Was not clear from description that ‘in app’ purchases meant an automatic weekly charge after one week. Please advise how to stop and arrange a refund. I haven’t used the app once!!!!! ### 1/5 — 好 *2017-08-10* 用了多年，挺好用，基本满足要求。假如增加毛筆工具更好。 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — love this app!! *2026-07-27, version 10.0.2* Been using it for about 8 years. Keep the work going. ### 5/5 — Extremely Detailed App *2026-07-23, version 10.0.2* Using for 11 years, this app is great for precision based art that requires alignment right down to the pixel, still learning new tweaks and tricks all the time! Love that it can do PNG invisible backgrounds! Wish there was a video version that could do all of the over lays this app can do! The app creator actually answers emails too! Hope this app is here for life! ### 5/5 — The best App *2026-07-16, version 10.0.2* The best app for my iphone. If you don’t have this app, you won’t know how good it is. ### 5/5 — ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ *2026-07-10, version 10.0.2* This app is the best on the iPhone and the most convenient and easy. I do all my work with this app. I have tested many apps but none are like this. ### 5/5 — Super useful! *2026-07-05, version 10.0.2* Had this app since 4 iPhone iOS updates ago. Really handy for all sorts of things. Now still flawless w/ iPhone 17 Pro. ### 5/5 — You Doodle Pro *2026-07-03, version 10.0.2* Easy to use ### 5/5 — Most Used App On My Devices *2026-05-25, version 10.0.1* This was the very first app I purchased when I first got an iPhone, were talking about years ago. To this day You Doodle Pro is the app I use the most hands down. It is also the ONLY app that I will give full permission to all my photos and files. I trust this developer and love this app so much ❤️I prefer this app over photoshop and all of the other picture editing apps to do anything to a photo. I also exclusively use this app for creating invoices for my job. It's so easy to create a template and save it to the sketchbook and then just add text for every new invoice. It works seamlessly with all of my other work apps and all of the google apps. I can't express how much I love and rely on this app for creativity and work. ### 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 — Still LOVE it. I have adapted well, playing with the tools. Best iPhone Photo/Graphic Design Hands D *2026-05-14, version 10.0.1* I originally tried the plus version April 13, 2015 and when I saw the Pro version I immediately bought it. I do EVERYTHING on this and what it doesn’t have there is a work around. I don’t think there is a mask option(if so dev tell me where), but I work around it. I do large banner design to fiber laser cuts on this thing. I am telling you look at the reviews 4.8 1.6k reviews. Anyone below a 5-star rating doesn’t know graphic design. Also, sans the mask feature there is not background remover. But with the new iPhone you don’t need it anyway because it does it for you. I use this more than Adobe and Corel combined. I can design something faster then someone even taking out their laptop. So intuitive, just play with it. I have been doing graphic design since computers could do them in the 90’s and you will not be disappointed with this product. And these guys are constantly upgrading the app, they just don’t let it go like an old book on the shelf hoping new people will read it, they add chapters to the book all the time. Look at their versions they have made better. I notice something new or improved all the time. Thanks guys you will always have loyal fans like me. And YOU OWN IT FOR LIFE, NO SUBSCRIPTIONS like these other greedy app makers. They rely on more buys, so do it you will not be disappointed I promise. ### 5/5 — Good Quality iPhone App *2026-05-13, version 10.0.1* I've had this app for several years now and never once had an issue with it. It's very user friendly for all the features it offers. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
