ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Drawing Apps holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drawing Apps has 5.2K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Easy Paint II's written reviews are positive against 63% of Drawing Apps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Easy Paint II ships an update every 5 months, Drawing Apps monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
