ShapeShadow vs Squiggle

Ever looked at your own sketch and thought, "What exactly did I just draw?" We've all been there. This app is for everyone who loves to doodle but lacks the Michelangelo touch. Take your weirdest, most abstract scribbles and use the magic of emojis to give them life. Whether it’s an unrecognizable "broken sailboat" or a bizarre-looking cat, the right emojis will save the day. It’s not about creating perfect art; it’s about having a laugh, getting creative, and turning your little disasters into shareable masterpieces. Draw, decorate, rate your chaos, and share it with friends!

Squiggle is a warm, hand-drawn app for kids ages 3 to 6. Your child picks a word, draws it, spells it letter by letter, then writes it and turns their drawings into little scenes and stories. Calm, child-led play. No timers, no badges, no scores. Just space to focus, at their own pace. Every screen answers one question. Pick a colour, draw the dog, find the letter. There's nothing to get lost in. THE LOOP: DRAW → SPELL → WRITE → PLAY • Draw — Tap a word like "dog" and Squiggle sketches a friendly version, simpler at 3, more detailed at 6. Trace the ghost lines, colour inside the outline, or peek at a pinned reference. Eight crayon colours, one eraser, no menus. • Spell — The word comes back as blank slots. Squiggle calls out one letter at a time; your child finds it among the tiles and taps to place it. One letter at a time — never overwhelming. A wrong tile gently wobbles. We never flash red. • Write — Each letter appears huge in literacy-safe Andika, ready to trace. An "easy" mode adds stroke-order dots; tap it off when they're ready. Encouragement at every letter, not just at the end. • Play — Every finished drawing becomes a sticker. Drag stickers onto a scene — a park, a kitchen, the moon — and build a tiny world that's theirs. MADE FOR LITTLE HANDS • Drawings tuned to your child's age — chunkier lines at 3, finer detail at 6. • Letters use Andika, a typeface designed for pre-readers. • Fingers are first-class; Apple Pencil is supported and feels great. • Every tap target is big and forgiving. • No reading required — every word is paired with a picture. CALM, PRIVATE, PARENT-FRIENDLY • No ads. No third-party trackers. No accounts to start drawing. • We don't collect personal information about your child. • Built to the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). • A long-press opens the parent dashboard: see this week's drawings, set the age, set a gentle daily time limit, and more. • Drawing, spelling, writing, and scenes work offline. Squiggle is the early-literacy app we wanted for our own kids: quiet, kind, and made with patience and crayon. ——— Squiggle Plus is an auto-renewable subscription: • Weekly — $2.99 / week • Monthly — $5.99 / month (Lifetime is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.)
