User Reviews

Sketch Pad 3 is lightweight and easy to use, supporting drawing, handwriting, text, and photo embedding for quick notes and on-the-go sketches. However, reviewers repeatedly complain about intrusive ads that cover toolbars and clutter the UI, along with laggy performance and buggy zoom/pinch gestures. Maintenance and support issues also loom, including trouble restoring purchases and a lack of updates. Overall, it's handy for fast note-taking and quick ideas, but ad clutter and stability/maintenance concerns are the major drawbacks.
Pros
  • Easy to use and quick for sketching and note-taking
  • Versatile input: drawing, handwriting, and text, with ability to add photos
  • Lightweight app that's convenient for on-the-go use
  • Good for quick notes and brainstorming
  • Useful for adding photos and text as references
Cons
  • Intrusive ads that cover toolbars and UI, blocking usability
  • Laggy performance and unresponsive input on various devices
  • Zoom/pinch functionality broken or buggy after updates
  • Maintenance and support issues, including trouble restoring purchases and lack of updates
  • Not optimized for Apple Pencil or related stylus support

Would it hurt to add a color fill button? Also reduce lag? Otherwise, very good app

Unbelievable! The Ads cover the toolbar and make it absolutely useless !!! Why bother even making it? Who exactly could use it !!! Run away and save your iPad space… BTW, on my 12.9” ipad the Ads take up the ENTIRE top inch of the screen in landscape mode…INSANE! Seriously, who tests this thing?!?
