## Review summary

Users appreciate the Sketch a Day app for its supportive art community, daily drawing prompts, and ease of sharing artwork which helps improve skills and overcome art block. However, recent updates have introduced intrusive ads, lack of response to upload issues, and a shift allowing photo submissions that disappoint traditional sketchers. Additionally, some find prompts too simplistic and wish for more flexibility in streak tracking. Overall, the app is valued for its community and motivation despite some recent concerns about changes and functionality.

### Cons

- Some users cannot upload drawings after updates, with poor developer response.
- The app now allows photo submissions, which some feel moves away from authentic sketches.
- Prompts can be too vague or simple and lack depth, reducing challenge for advanced users.
