User Reviews

Users like Drawing Pad for its beginner-friendly, fun drawing experience and broad age appeal, with some praising its educational value and social use. However, many reviews highlight a problematic pricing model (free trial charges, annual fees, refunds denied), limited free access, frequent glitches and performance issues, and weak onboarding. These recurring issues suggest a strong tension between enjoyment and paywall/frustration when starting or using the app.
Pros
  • Beginner-friendly and accessible to first-time users; multiple reviews say new users quickly grow fond of drawing with the app.
  • Fun, satisfying drawing experience and notes that the app teaches useful drawing techniques.
  • Allows social or collaborative use, with friends being able to draw together and have fun.
  • Feels suitable for a wide age range and easy to start for many artists.
Cons
  • Paid/billing model is problematic: free trials leading to unexpected charges and refunds being denied.
  • Limited or no free features; users report you cannot use the app meaningfully without paying.
  • Frequent glitches, performance issues, crashes, and intrusive popups that hinder use.
  • Difficult onboarding or initial access due to pushy trial prompts and lack of a visible way to start without paying.
  • Missing tutorials or onboarding resources for new users.

When ever I press to doodle. Draw. Or anything else like that, it just shows up a dumb white pop up screen and it just… goes down… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

This App is NOT FREE apparently you have to pay just to color and draw. Instead I use FreeForm. Freeform is Free/Already Downloaded on IPads for you/Has all the colors you could need/Has a Ruler/Also you can move your drawings. Once you’re used to this app you’ll figure out more stuff you can use.
