Gesture Drawing

This app claims to be free of in-app purchases and, while that is technically true, it purposefully hides the true story. - This app has ads. You can turn off the ads, supposedly, but it requires you to click on a specific ad, which brings you to a website to sign up for an adblocker app called “Total Adblock”. This sign up is completely predatory because the normal rate is $8.25 a month! For an adblocker! You are incentivized with a limited time discount. I have no way of verifying if this adblocker will rid me of the ads in this app, which is completely ridiculous. - This app requires you to sign up with an email address. - This app has a privacy policy and collects data about you. - You must spend “tokens” to start sessions. To earn more tokens, you must watch ads. I also have no idea how subscribing to their adblocker will change the token system so I’m not limited to the number of sessions I’d like to do. - The app also runs pretty poorly and I’m stating this on an M4 iPad Pro. Very unresponsive, laggy, and overall a poor user experience. So, this app isn’t *really* in-app purchase free. The cost is hidden away behind a subscription to their adblocker app, which carries a monthly fee. Stay away from this app and its disgusting ways to goad and trick you into paying a monthly fee for a questionable app. If this app is like this, the adblocker is surely predatory as well. There are better options on the App Store for both.

A bit rough around the edges, but I love it and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to improve their gesture/figure drawing. Unsure if the developer is looking into releasing a paid, ad-free version with unlimited credits, but I would absolutely pay for that!

I appreciate the developer’s response, overly dramatic though it may be! Login is a “feature” of your app and I reviewed it. Short, sweet, and to the point. I’m sorry it ruined your life. 🤣 Login? No thanks! Deleted.
