FlipDraw is a calming drawing puzzle built for iPhone. Every level shows you a shape on top and an empty canvas below. Your job is simple to understand and surprisingly satisfying to master: draw the exact mirror of the shape on your side of the canvas. Trace a heart, a lightning bolt, a pretzel, a treble clef. The more accurate your line, the more stars you earn. Miss the line or scribble outside the shape and your score drops, so steady hands and a calm eye matter more than speed. WHAT YOU DO - Look at the target shape on the top canvas. - Draw its mirror image on your canvas below. - Earn up to 3 stars based on how closely you trace the outline. - Unlock new levels, packs, colors, pencils, and canvas backgrounds as you play. 200+ HAND-TUNED SHAPES Circles, hearts, lightning, stars, letters A to Z, numbers 0 to 9, animals, food, vehicles, space, nature, and dozens of premium bonus shapes. Every shape is hand-authored for a clean, readable trace. FAIR SCORING A smart accuracy system measures how much of the target you covered, how clean your line is, and how far you drifted outside the shape. Sloppy scribbling won't pass you through. Honest tracing is rewarded. PROGRESSION THAT RESPECTS YOUR TIME - Five rounds per level, around 30 seconds each. - Daily streak rewards you can collect in under 10 seconds. - XP and coin drops that add up to unlockable cosmetics without grinding. - No forced ads between rounds. Watch to double your reward if you want, skip if you don't. COLORS, PENCILS, CANVASES Unlock a growing catalog of glossy color orbs, pencil and marker styles, and canvas backgrounds, from simple notebook paper to galaxy nebulas and warm sunsets. Every purchase uses coins you earn from play. DESIGNED FOR SHORT SESSIONS Most rounds fit in a minute. The whole session fits in a coffee break. No lives, no pressure timers, no wait-to-play gates. Open the app, draw a few shapes, collect your streak, come back tomorrow. NO NONSENSE - No account required. - No social sign-ins. - Progress saves locally and syncs via iCloud Keychain. - Simple sound effects you can mute. Trace the line. Flip the shape. Collect the stars. Repeat.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Aura at none against FlipDraw's shown. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
