## Review summary

Reviewers broadly praise PaperColor for being easy to use, fun to draw, and beginner-friendly with solid brush options. Many enjoy the relaxing drawing experience and long-term use. However, several recurring issues undermine these positives: app crashes and lost work (often without autosave), save/export and screenshot problems, intrusive ads, and a security concern about a malware-like site on first launch. Additionally, UI scaling on tablets can make the interface large or awkward. Reliability and security fixes are needed.

### Pros

- Easy to use with a simple, intuitive drawing interface.
- Fun and satisfying drawing/coloring experience.
- Good brush options and control (draw or sketch).
- Accessible for beginners and kids; beginner-friendly.
- Consistent positive sentiment and long-term use from many users.

### Cons

- Crash causing loss of drawings and lack of autosave.
- Save/export issues and screenshots not capturing full drawings.
- Intrusive ads at inopportune times.
- Security concern: first-launch redirect to a malware site.
- UI scaling issues on tablets (not scaled for larger screens).
