Flowpaper Classic is the original Flowpaper, brought back for modern iPhone and iPad, one purchase, every feature unlocked. Draw with ink that has a life of its own. Each stroke is a bundle of fine threads that trail behind your finger, swing past it, and settle under their own momentum. Move slowly and you get delicate, controlled line work. Sweep quickly and the threads fan out into smoke, feathers and long flowing tails. No two strokes come out the same. • Thread physics that turn a single gesture into something you could never draw by hand • Continuous draw mode, the threads never lift, so one unbroken line builds an entire piece • Choose any ink and canvas colour, and adjust the brush to taste • Bring in a photo from your library as a background and draw over it • Export at high resolution, straight to your photo library • Share your work anywhere the system share sheet reaches No account, no sign-in, no subscription, no in-app purchases. One price, the whole app. Made for people who would rather find a drawing than plan one.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Flowpaper Classic at every 2 weeks against Line Art's every 5 months. Flowpaper Classic also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and chart position (#177 vs unranked). Line Art's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and price ($0.99 vs $1.99). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
