Read full descriptionHide full description
It’s a simple but slightly quirky drawing app. When you color, it makes sounds and becomes lively. You can also create original stickers. The app is free. It displays banner ads, but there are no ads that obstruct the screen or take up the entire display. Alternatively, you can temporarily hide ads by watching video ads. Coloring: * Simple single-color coloring * Rainbow coloring stickers: * Simple stickers * Animated stickers

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ToyPen at none against Amusing Drawings's shown. ToyPen also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Amusing Drawings's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 10 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
