## Review summary

Drawing Grid is praised for its simplicity, ease of use, and effective grid overlay features for artists. Users appreciate its customization options and ad removal choice. However, several users report frustrating crashes after edits and persistent issues saving images to their gallery despite granting permissions. The lack of detailed canvas dimension settings and unsatisfactory support also occur. Overall, the app serves its purpose well but needs improvements in stability and export functionality to enhance user satisfaction.

### Cons
