## Review summary

Paintwork is praised for its appealing UI and rich drawing tools, including a wide color palette, shapes, brush control, and note-drawing versatility that beginners can enjoy. However, multiple reviews converge on cons: heavy monetization with locked backdrops and paid upgrades, and a shift to PW Drawing Pad that forces new purchases. Updates are blamed for removing features or degrading performance, with crashes and lag reported. Support is often unresponsive, and free-use options are limited. Overall it's valued for creativity and learning, but the business model, stability issues, and app fragmentation deter prolonged use.

### Pros

- Rich drawing tools and customization (wide color palette, shapes, brush control, and adjustable brush thickness)
- Input versatility (draw with finger or Apple Pencil)
- Beginner-friendly and approachable for simple sketches and notes
- Visually appealing UI with design variety
- Useful for education, handwriting practice, and learning contexts

### Cons

- Heavy monetization with locked backdrops and paid upgrades, with many features behind paywalls
- App fragmentation and feature removal due to updates (shift to PW Drawing Pad requiring new purchases)
- Performance issues after updates (crashes, lag, and brush responsiveness problems)
- Poor or unresponsive support (unanswered queries and refunds concerns)
- Limited free usage (free notes are capped)
