User Reviews

Users praise the app for its rich creative toolkit, meditative feel, and recent gallery improvements, plus a capable free version. The main complaints are the lack of an in-app save feature, a cluttered drawing area, persistent drawing bugs, no zoom, and limited color/brush options.
Pros
  • Rich set of creative options and effects (kaleidoscope, mirrors, rotations) that keep art creation varied.
  • Fun and meditative to use with a well-designed, satisfying interface.
  • Gallery feature added in the latest version, improving viewing of your work.
  • Free version offers many features, making it accessible.
  • Saving/exporting on-device via screenshots or camera roll (a convenient workaround to save work).
Cons
  • No built-in save/export feature; users frequently request a save button.
  • UI/menu is cluttered and takes up drawing space; no option to hide it.
  • Bugs affecting drawing (errant dot connections, pen/zoom issues).
  • No zoom functionality; limited scaling controls.
  • Limited color and brush options; desire for more colors and brush sizes (and occasional color layering issues).
