About

ARStain

Features
Read full description

Create together with ARStain, an AR drawing experience for children and parents. Choose a Bird or Car and place it in the live AR view. Move and resize it to explore. For Birds, move the colorful AR Bird aside to reveal its sketch. The sketch guides your drawing; the color Bird gives you a visual reference. Switch to Draw and make your picture with a finger. Return to AR to check the sketch or color reference, then keep drawing. When you're ready, save your drawing to Photos. The saved image contains only your drawing, not the camera view, AR objects, or app controls. Hummingbird and all Cars are free. A one-time, non-consumable Premium in-app purchase unlocks nine additional Birds; it is not a subscription. If you purchased Premium before, open a locked Bird and choose Restore Purchases.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: ARStain at none against WidgetX's shown. WidgetX's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 36 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
