Splodge โ€” Paint, Draw, and Make Art Paint, draw, and grow your art skills, all in one app. Splodge opens into two worlds: a full studio for painting and drawing, and a friendly place to learn to draw, one step at a time. Start wherever you are, and keep growing. โ€” A STUDIO FOR PAINTING AND DRAWING โ€” โ€ข Brushes that respond to how hard you press, with hundreds of styles. โ€ข Layers and groups, plus layer masks and adjustment layers, so nothing you try has to be permanent. โ€ข Photo effects โ€” bring in a photo and give it a look, from Cartoon and Oil paint to Neon and Glitch. Change it whenever you like; the photo underneath is never altered. โ€ข Drawing guides with perspective and symmetry grids, and Quick Shape for clean lines, circles, and squares. โ€ข Selections, transform tools, re-editable text, and shapes. โ€ข Big, high-resolution canvases, with autosave and crash recovery. Crop, resize, and share your work. โ€ข Time-lapse โ€” watch any painting replay itself as a video you can share. โ€” LEARN TO DRAW AND GROW โ€” Warm, oversized, and reading-free โ€” made for young artists, and fun at any age. โ€ข Learn to Draw โ€” follow friendly guides to draw shapes step by step, and earn a star for every try. No pressure โ€” just practice that builds real skill. โ€ข Coloring Book โ€” tap to fill hundreds of outlined pictures, then press "Grade me!" for gentle, encouraging feedback. Splodge sees how much you've colored and how neatly you stayed in the lines, and celebrates with sparkles, stars, and medals. โ€ข My Art โ€” every finished piece is saved to a personal shelf to reopen and show off. โ€ข Parent-safe by design โ€” a parental gate guards every exit, setting, and purchase. No ads, no links out, no surprises. โ€” PLANS โ€” Splodge is free to start. An optional subscription unlocks the full studio: โ€ข Monthly, 3-month, 6-month, and yearly plans โ€ข Lifetime โ€” pay once, keep everything, forever Purchases are protected behind the parental gate. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
