Drawing Pad for Negative User Reviews

✓ It’s alright...It’s okay, but it could definitely be better. I’m more of a fancier artist, but not fancy enough to get an app that requires a subscription fee. The app that I had previously used was perfect! But then, it stopped working, so I had to get rid of it, then it left the American App Store, so I came to this. I got used to the nicer features of that app, like layers, and I was pretty devastated when I lost it. I know this is for a younger age range, and 6-year-olds likely won’t use layer, but it would be a nice addition. At least 3 layers, that have a merge option. I know this is definitely a lot more work for you, but it may make you a bit more money. Maybe, spend less time on making the tools look realistic, and put your efforts elsewhere..LisaG1Version: 2.6

✓ The undo button does not workLook,I like this app. Though I was working on a picture,I saved the picture and when I tried to use the undo button, after a few times it didn’t work! I had to start ALL over again! And I cried! I suggest you could fix in a update. Other than that it’s a good app..Remain.in.lightVersion: 2.7.1

✓ Good but cynicalMy 5 year old loves this. It's her go to app most of the time, I'm sure it's the same for other parents with kids who use it. Which is why the sudden inclusion, positioning and colour of the store button is, to me, extremely cynical. I only discovered its addition when my daughter called me over to ask me what this new page was. It turned out to be a load of colouring books for sale. The developer MUST know that a big red button placed at the bottom of the menu will be pressed by a kid without hesitation..BeardybraveVersion: 0

✓ Awesome…but…I really do love this app, but it has a huge problem that is really frustrating me: it sometimes randomly deletes your drawing. Often, you can restore it by clicking the undo button, but most recently, the undo button did not show up! If I were a child, this would literally be devastating. Since I am a grownup, I am simply very, very disappointed. Please, have a way to restore old versions of a drawing, or fix this awful deleting glitch. Please let me know if there is a way to restore a drawing that the app decided to completely erase..MacBookLegendVersion: 2.7

✓ Wish I liked it more...I like this app, but I think it could've done more. I wish the stickers or stamps had sound associated with it and had some that are cutsey for like a reward sticker when my son and are using it. (like cute cats that meow or purr!) It would be nice if they had more rolling stamps too! The strokes of paint brushes effects would've been nice. I hope they come out with some of these ideas in later updates. Otherwise, I really like the ui. It is kid friendly and adult fun. I don't like how some of the kid drawing apps are too kiddie, and the adult apps are too austere. This is just a right balance between the two. Make some changes and It would be more fun!.MegulisVersion: 0

✓ CanGreat app, however: Is there an 'undo'? I can't find it anywhere. That's a fairly big omission. Also, all the erasers are 'hard edged', so there is no soft, natural edge when erasing. In combination with having no 'undo', a great little sketch can be wrecked with one tiny mistake. It would be better if the erasers could be textured or soft on the edges like some of the brushes. Finally how about the ability to merge two drawings? A kind of pseudo 'layers' idea. That would be awesome! For me this is a kids drawing app that with just a few trimmings would be incredible for adults too. For now its a kids game or toy, and that's a shame, because the interface is excellent and it could be so much more..Chris_(Version: 2.1

✓ Update problemsAfter last update all album drawings disappeared, app not even saving new drawings!!!!! Unreal.....hope software developers do something to fix this..CelloQueenVersion: 2.4.1

✓ Glitches..I think that this app is a fun, exciting way to draw everything you want. But, I've been using this app for a couple of years and I've experienced a really annoying glitch. When you exit out of the drawing your doing, (and enter again) do a mistake, and press the undo button, everything that you've previously done, unexpectedly erases. This is really annoying, but other wise, the app is great!.FancyMillieVersion: 2.5.1

✓ S'okay.It's a fantastic app, don't get me wrong- but there are WAY better ones out there, for much less money. If your looking for something fun to play with, get this, but if your alittle more advanced, try the app Art Set, or Brushes. (Brushes is free!!).Gravit8erVersion: 2.3

✓ Still some problemsThere seem to still be some problems when using on the new iPad when I try to draw a curve quickly it converts it into straight lines, don't know if anyone else has had the same problem.Adamf1990Version: 2.2.1

✓ What!?This app used to be five stars but after the update I can't have photos as my back round because it will just crash fix this and It'll be five again.SupadoodleVersion: 0

✓ Used to be good.I first purchased this app in 2012 when I got my first iPad (not sponsored) it was free, and it did not glitch. I went to redownload It and come to find out it’s 6 dollars?! For an outdated glitchy app? My drawing kept crashing. I’ve been drawing with you guys for over 10 years, marking up the price seems greedy. :).NTPXLMCVersion: 2.7

✓ Good but disappointing in placesThis app is good and my kids like it, but even my daughter complains that the brushes don't leave a painterly mark and the crayons leave the same mark as the pencil - just fatter. The simple aspect of the design- picking from trays of tools and only having a fixed set of colours is fine, in fact just like picking from a set of pencils, but although the tools look real, they just don't feel it (or leave convincing marks) Also quick actions are not picked up accurately and curves are not smooth unless young slow. So while the design is nice, it has some way to go..PsimondoVersion: 2.1

✓ Great App!This was the first app got and it's excellent! I love making drawings on back-round pictures of my friends, family, etc. Then uploading them to Facebook! With this. app, you can upload to your album, facebook, and Twitter! This is by far my favorite app and I would recommend this app over other drawing apps. The only thing that was off about this app is that I would draw a mustache on my friend's face, and when I finished uploading it to facebook, I would see that the mustache was floating In the air and some things would be shifted over. But that only happens once in a blue moon. So get this app over other drawing apps! Its really great for when your bored, or just want to draw! :).Iluvthisapp101Version: 0

✓ Twitter warningGreat app for the kids but watch out, if you use twitter for work they will be able to tweet their pictures direct to your account, no questions asked. I deleted the twitter apps first but it still could tweet a picture. If you use your iPad for work please take note.TequilaprinceVersion: 2.3

✓ DisappointedI am crying right now because I was working on a picture for art class and I was almost done and it just disappeared and I'm really disappointed because I like this app but that's happened to me lots can you please please fix it ;_;.Stupid.piranhasVersion: 2.4.2

✓ Great appDaughter loves this app. Works really well. Let down only by in app purchases. Fortunately does not limit the core functionality of the app, but said daughter is disappointed to not get the books. Shame, otherwise this app would be perfect..SK177135Version: 2.3

✓ Great looking but flawedWith realistic UI and a large set of drawing tools, Drawing Pad remains one of the more impressive looking drawing apps for kids. Unfortunately, it is marred by few but very big flaws: 1. Too many colors for younger kids. There are roughly 26 to 64 colors, depending on the drawing tools. And one of the tools, paintbrush, come in two sizes (in the same drawer). That makes scrolling and finding desired tool tedious. Older kids may like such choices, but I would like an option for narrower color range. 2. Confusing drawer. Undo and redo are too close to the home button. And it is all too easy to accidentally go back to main menu (which is very ugly and unnecessary) by hitting home button twice. Simplify the UI for younger users. And I have few wish list items: 1. Full retina graphics for newer iPad (a small part of the app is retina based, but most are not). 2. Easier sticker UI. I frankly don't get what some of the tiny buttons do. I suppose two are for putting sticker over or under existing drawing. Whatever they are, they seem unnecessary. Clicking on the sticker selection shouldn't cause sticker to immediately appear (and therefore requiring a drag to desired location). 3. Sound effects. 4. Automatic save. How does one save an image? It took me awhile to find the feature buried deep within. It should save automatically to an album. 5. How does bookshelf work? For an app designed for kids, the app has many confusing UI and features..NutmacVersion: 2.3

✓ Un-fair!Okay so I've been drawing something for 2 hours on this then just before I finish, the drawing just suddenly vanishes or is deleted. I did nothing to cause this. So I started the drawing again, I nearly finished it.... Then it deletes itself again!! I've been starting the drawing over and over and over again, it ALWAYS deletes itself. It's sooo annoying, I can't use this app anymore. This need to be fixed..SkyellorVersion: 2.4.2

✓ Drawing pad.It says it's free to download for the month of August, so I'm not going to be charged the$2.something right? Cause when I wanted it the amount came up and that's the only way it let me download. So hope that's not true. Ths . Loving colouring and drawing so I'll write a review soon, wait to see if I'm charged first. Lol. When says free to download juring month of August...CharmscanadaVersion: 2.5.1

✓ Drawing CarlWell it's ok but you can get this free app called drawing Carl that is better or just as good.TooTumekeVersion: 2.3

✓ Is it for the ipod?I have tried this game before and it is really fun, but i cant seem to get it on my ipod, a shame really.Xbubbble-popxVersion: 2.1

✓ Has all the functions that a drawing app needs.....but there is just something missing. Theres a good variation of brush/pen applications, but they don't look real enough. The blending tool is alright but it's extremely laggy (I'm using the new iPad). And the inability to zoom in is hard to get the details right. It was fun to play with at the apple store but not so much at home when I was seriously trying to draw something. Still, I think it's a great fit for kids though. All kids need to delve into their creative spirits and this is a fun app for that..JeannieismVersion: 2.2.1

✓ Not working full screen on latest iPadsThe app hasn’t been updated for a year, would be nice if the app would be updated to work full screen on new iPads. Other than that, the app is nice but blurry graphics ruin it. If you have one of the new iPads(2020) better get different app..!End7wallVersion: 2.7

✓ Deleted my books!!!I think that this app is great but ever since the last update it deleted all my books! How do I get them back? It won't let me download them again without paying..RC1601Version: 2.2.1

✓ Fun..This app is fun and entertaining! I love all the different sizes and colours. But there seems to be a major glitch with the undo button. I will click it once, and it will undo almost all of my drawing. This is very frustrating as it sometimes takes a long time to finish this..ReggieTurtleVersion: 2.5.1

✓ Wrong Target AudienceOkay, so this app is just mediocre. There are some basic tools, but most of them are just plain childish! There are options like motorcycle stickers and rainbow star stamps, but there aren’t any basic squares or circles to use! Also, I find the lines not very fluid, and smaller ones are extremely pixly. It would be good if it were free, but I don’t think it’s necessary to have to pay for it. This seems like a great app for little kids to play with, but it isn’t for “professional art” as they claim. I don’t know why they aren’t marketing this to children instead. I think it would be a great app for little kids! Edit: I realize it says the age range is for kids, but the reviews all say it’s great for adults and whatnot.SomeoneTookAllTheGoodNamesVersion: 2.7

✓ Needs fixing a lotI love it, I used it to copy mario and I was nearly finished when the app sent me to the home screen. I checked in the album but it wasn’t there. So I started all over again 🙁. Like, should I even use THIS app or should I use those amazing free apps with 8k and more features?.Bronte Gamez ytVersion: 2.7

✓ Its not what I expected. I will wait for some more advance application.Its not what I expected. I will wait for some more advance application. Simple in use and not that many options as I thought when I found it here. 0.59 worth it? Probably yes, but remember that there are many apps for 0.59 so consider that when You buy it. Hopefully, sooner upgrades will make this apps more outstanding from a crowd featuring in more options.VivitronixVersion: 2.1

✓ Great App!Happy with the updates, I actually use this app for my business. My son quite enjoys drawing and this gives him a lot of options. Great value without being complicated..Butterflykiss789Version: 2.4.1

✓ Opening pictures from the albumsMaking quotes is very annoying because when I open them up from the album the writing multiplies and I have to manually delete them all and the writing cuts of aswell. Please put the option to save text colours so I don't have to try and get the same colour and fix because otherwise the game really isn't worth it..MissmariatiaVersion: 2.4.2

✓ Keeps kicking me out and deleting my sketchI was a drawing a picture of someth8ng but it was deleted because the apps kicked me out, then when I went to album I doesn’t appear, i,redewre and save, I chose it as backdrop for new sketch, add more stuff, got angry cuz the stuff I added keeps hiding, then it kicks me out again! PLEASE FIX.Battery doc (v 3.9)Version: 2.7

✓ Haven’t maintained for yearsNo full screen on iPad mini 6 Lost drawing or even crash during zoom in zoom out.PlaneWaveVersion: 2.7

✓ It's pretty good!! :)I rated it three stars because I really think you should be able to zoom in on what you are drawing so it's not so hard! I maybe ten but this is a pretty good app if you add zoom in technology! Thanks any ways, but all I wanted to say is that you add zoom in that would make it an app that every body else wants to play! Thanks for the great app thought! ;).LizthelizardiscoolVersion: 2.5

✓ Good, but needs workNEED A DATE DRAWN!! My daughter has played on this for a few years since I bought my iPad. She likes it, although finds the drawer that partially covers the painting confusing (have a lot of paintings from her with 80% of the painting completed at the rest is white!) However the reason I have given it 3 stars is because a few years down the line, you will have no idea when your child painted or drew their work of art. The developers left out a crucial date stamp, so there is never anyway to know. You will only get the date stamp of the day you pull them off the application..PixardudessVersion: 2.7

✓ Fun app - needs a tweakThis app makes quite wide lines under your finger - like a crayon. The colours are pastel, rather than bright, so it looks like a chalkboard. It's possible to write numbers and letters with your finger, but mostly I've found it fun to doodle. My only complaint is that the "folder" icon in the bottom left is very small, and right at the very edge of the screen. This means that the cover of my iPhone obscures it, and I have to take the iPhone out of its case to delete a picture. This may be partly a problem of the case that I have - but I haven't found it a problem on any other app until this one. Hence the three stars. Otherwise a fun, simple, entertaining app..JessicaBlackVersion: 2.1

✓ Worst appThis app has great features, however; it doesn't save your work. I have worked on a drawing for 3 weeks. Today, when I opened the app and did minor touch up work it was working fine. Then, I hit the back button one time and it erased all the work I previously worked on for the past week. Don't waste your money on this app, there are way better ones that will actually SAVE your work. It's sad you have to pay for this app and this has happened to me several times. Complete Garbage. How can you do wonderful art with a app that erases your work. I'll probably be 60 by the time I will be able to finish this drawing that erases half my work! Please fix this bug, until then; your app is going on the cloud. I suggest everyone to do the same!.Matchu5489Version: 2.5.1

✓ TerribleI didn’t like this at all. Not worth $2. I need a refund. 😐.Britt michelleVersion: 2.6
