ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Draw it holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Draw it has 565K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Draw it's written reviews are positive against 100% of Draw a Line Around's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Draw it ships an update every 2 months, Draw a Line Around every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
