ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DRAWings Snap holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DRAWings Snap has 47 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of DRAWings Snap's written reviews are positive against 100% of AskMe by Forsta's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DRAWings Snap ships an update every 2 months, AskMe by Forsta every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
