SwitchDraw is a drawing game that can be appreciated by everyone regardless of age or skill level. It’s all about your imagination. Start your game with a squiggle. SwitchDraw can generate one automatically or you can draw your own. Then the challenge is to turn that squiggle into a drawing. If you see something in the squiggle, give your imagination the test! Play offline by yourself, with your partner or send and receive squiggles online with your friends anywhere. Finished drawings can be saved in your gallery. If you’re playing online, your drawings will be saved in your gallery and your friend's gallery. Choose any drawing from there to watch the redraw animation, export it to your camera roll or delete it. Search for friends by email or username and build your friends list to play online. Block players you disagree with. The amount of fun you’ll have playing SwitchDraw is outrageous. But, you’ll also discover that the more you play the sharper your imagination gets.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SwitchDraw at none against Color Oil's 5. SwitchDraw also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months). Color Oil's advantage is ratings volume (49 vs 12) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
