ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Drawing Online holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DrawnTogether has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of DrawnTogether's written reviews are positive against 50% of Drawing Online's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DrawnTogether ships an update every 5 months, Drawing Online every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
