## Review summary

Many reviews praise the app for being easy to use for simple drawings and kid-friendly, with ad-free experiences and offline capability. However, a recurring complaint is heavy monetization: most tools require a subscription, the free version is very limited, and updates have reduced access to features. This shift from a free/one-time purchase model to ongoing payments drives strong frustration, with users noting lost tools, restricted pages, and a push to pay to draw more.

### Pros

- Easy to use for simple drawings
- Kid-friendly and educational potential
- No ads in at least some versions (ad-free experience)
- Does not require an internet connection to use

### Cons

- Heavy reliance on a subscription/premium model to access most tools
- Free version severely limited (often only a few tools, sometimes as few as three)
- Updates/monetization changes reduced features users relied on (tools removed, pages restricted)
- Access to new pages or features often redirects to a subscription page
- Users feel the app shifted from a one-time purchase/free-access model to ongoing payments
