Whilst is a personal archive for the drawings your children make whilst they are little. * Take a picture of the artwork. It's cropped to the exact boundaries. * Each drawing is filed against the child who made it, on the day it was made. * Save any piece back to your camera roll when you want to share it. Send it to a grandparent, print it, frame it. * Easily compare drawings of the same subject over time to be in awe of the progress your kids are making * Synced to iCloud so you can always take it with you. Simple. Minimalist. Designed to get out of your way. Built by a dad with too many drawings to keep, but not the heart to throw any away. Each drawing of the family, of Elsa and Anna, of rainbows and unicorns, of houses, ... is a memory that should be preserved. The data is yours. We don't see it. We don't sell it. We don't have analytics. There is no server. No account required. No ads. No in-app purchases. No subscriptions. Pay once, keep forever. Think of it like a lifetime ticket to your child's artwork. The art, whilst they were little. Kept. ā A dad who didn't want to lose precious memories.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Whilst at Free against RetroChat's $0.99. Whilst also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). RetroChat's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
