User Reviews

Paint 98 is praised for capturing an old-school MSPaint vibe and delivering a lean set of basic, retro-friendly tools. However, users repeatedly flag UX problems: unintuitive, mouse-like controls on a phone; hard-to-reach undo/redo; no layers; unclear icons; and occasional text tool problems. Overall, it’s a nostalgic, simple-editing option with meaningful usability trade-offs that would benefit from improved controls, added layers, and clearer UI.

Pros

Delivers a nostalgic MS Paint recreation on mobile that fans appreciate, with a retro look and feel.
Provides a core MS Paint–style toolset suitable for basic edits and simple, retro drawings.
Offers a lightweight, free set of drawing tools that appeals to casual users seeking straightforward functionality.
Appeals to users seeking a lightweight, old-school drawing experience without advanced features.

Cons

Controls are unintuitive and heavily mouse-oriented, requiring dragging the canvas and holding a button, which is not friendly to touch.
Undo/redo is hard to access or missing, with users calling for gestures or a quick-access toolbar.
There is no support for layers, which many users miss for organizing edits and complex work.
UI/icons are unclear and lack on-screen labels, making it hard to know what each tool does without trial and error.
Text tool issues (occasionally non-functional) and other text-related limitations frustrate some users.

One of my hobbies is creating Minecraft textures and it’s this is the only app for mobile that allows me full control of my image sizes. It’s so easy to set you colors and go! 100% recommend! Great for lots of other image editing the old fashioned way. Love it!
