I think this should be an update to the app. I also think that it it would be helpful to other people using this app. Other than the layer thing, the app is great. -- bhhvfjjvg, 2024-07-28 ### ****- "Oops!" I have used this for several years and just yesterday went to add a photo to a greeting card and it said I need to do it through iTunes? Not happy. Grammie 1 July 2023 -- Grammie 7, 2023-07-01 ### ***-- "The undo button does not work" Look,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.light, 2023-02-21 ### ***** "Brilliant!" This app is absolutely brilliant for all ages! It doesn’t force you to buy a premium like all other drawing pads do, and it also, remarkably, has NO ads-they make their money off of one dollar coloring books you can buy in game instead. It works for drawing, painting, and gradient (smear tool!) and also for photo editing (you can take a photo from your gallery and stamp it down on the page) I can’t think of any issues I’ve had. Oh, wait, layers-so that you don’t have to worry about coloring in lines and you can delete an unwanted layer easily-I’m clearly not good at describing layers but I would really like it if the devs looked into layers and added a feature like that. Please also add an option where we can add filters to our drawings, however I’m not too hung up on these requests and, although I do think they would improve the game, it’s plenty good for now, at least for me! I especally recommend for non-professionals who just wanna have some fun, not pay some subscription. -- Nancy ann catlover, 2022-07-06 ### ***** "It’s been 10 years…." Ten years ago, 5 year old me was visiting the Apple Store with my parents. There happened to be a table in which you could play and test out their tablets. This app happened to be on the tablets, and I was instantly hooked! It was easy to use and very exciting to explore all of the different tools. I begged my mother to let me download this app onto my own tablet, and she let me. It was one of the best downloads I have ever made, even to this day. This app has made my artwork better. Unlike other apps with overwhelming tools and settings, this app is simple, but still enjoyable! I would like to thank those who made this app, as it really sparked my creativity at a young age. This nostalgic app is one-of-a-kind, and I hope to keep using it in the future! Download this app!!! -- TopSpinBear, 2022-04-26 ### *---- "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. :) -- NTPXLMC, 2022-01-29 ### ***** "Glad you fixed the update! Will recommend!" I’m glad you fixed the update! But now whenever I press the arrows to get to my other drawings, it kicks me out of the game and it’s really annoying. Could you please fix that? -- toocoolforschool2016, 2022-01-06 ### ***-- "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. -- MacBookLegend, 2021-12-08 ### ***** "Encourages spontaneity" The simplicity of this app for drawing /painting whatever you want encourages spontaneity and adventure. Easy to erase and to unerase! Saved work can later be modified. Fun, fun, fun! -- News rabbit, 2021-09-25 ### ****- "More adult color books please" I’ve colored every design a couple of times. Please add more ASAP. Thanks Why not add more adult coloring books? I wouldn’t mind having to pay for them. Please respond, thank you. -- blueburst2, 2021-09-18 ### ****- "Great app" I really like this app. It’s one of the apps I use most. Even though it isn’t the best option when it comes to professional art, I really like to use it and have created some the art that I am most proud of on it. Would recommend -- littlekoala00, 2021-01-02 ### **--- "Not working full screen on latest iPads" The 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. -- !End7wall, 2020-12-25 ### ***** "I like it but" It sometimes takes room to download but if you do not count that it is a very fun game -- a lot of new, 2020-11-16 ### ***** "Drawing pad" I’ve had this app for years and I love it. I make collages. And color. I love making memorial collages and joke collages. I wish I could send you pictures of my joke collages. I’ve had a lot of fun with this app over the years. Thank you for building it -- lovingorca, 2020-08-25 ### ****- "A blast from the past" In 2019 (I believe) I stopped using this. I was looking for a better drawing app that was free. I never found one until 2020 when I decided to give Flipaclip a shot. It was an awesome animation software. Today (July 4 2020) I decided to revisit my old drawings. Visiting them felt nostalgic and this time it never crashed. Looking at my old drawings gave me some thoughts about how Flipaclip could improve. -- RaymondDraymond, 2020-07-24 ### ****- "Adding a tool" Hi I wanted to say that in the instruction vid there's a eye dropper but when I go in my tools no eye dropper and I want you to add the eye dropper on mine -- <(*~*<), 2020-03-12 ### ***** "The updates are great!" I used this app before this update and liked it’s simplicity and ease of use. Then I explored procreate, infinity painter and some others. Way too much stuff and too many choices. My work became overburdened with stuff. Keep it simple, you know. Glad I am using this app again with all its updates and still retaining and expanding its simplicity and ease of use. Given the price of physical material this app and some other art apps are a bargain for a digital artist. We are lucky as artists to have this approach to creating. -- inca123, 2020-02-06 ### **--- "Wrong Target Audience" Okay, 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 -- SomeoneTookAllTheGoodNames, 2019-12-24 ### *---- "Terrible" I didn’t like this at all. Not worth $2. I need a refund. 😐 -- Britt michelle, 2019-01-05 ### ***** "Very good" This works really well -- 7574asdf, 2018-12-30 [View all Drawing Pad reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Drawing Pad Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Denmark | Graphics Design | #12 | | Top Paid | Belgium | Graphics Design | #47 | | Top Paid | Australia | Graphics Design | #49 | | Top Paid | Norway | Graphics Design | #51 | | Top Paid | Netherlands | Graphics Design | #52 | | Top Paid | Pakistan | Graphics Design | #53 | | Top Paid | Sweden | Graphics Design | #54 | | Top Paid | Switzerland | Graphics Design | #55 | | Top Paid | Kuwait | Graphics Design | #55 | | Top Paid | New Zealand | Graphics Design | #55 | | Top Paid | Canada | Graphics Design | #61 | | Top Paid | Russia | Graphics Design | #68 | | Top Paid | France | Graphics Design | #69 | | Top Paid | South Africa | Graphics Design | #76 | | Top Paid | Kazakhstan | Graphics Design | #83 | | Top Paid | Poland | Graphics Design | #84 | | Top Paid | Italy | Graphics Design | #100 | | Top Paid | United Kingdom | Graphics Design | #102 | | Top Paid | Austria | Graphics Design | #103 | | Top Paid | Germany | Graphics Design | #105 | | Top Paid | Colombia | Graphics Design | #115 | | Top Paid | United States | Graphics Design | #119 | | Top Paid | Brazil | Graphics Design | #122 | | Top Paid | Japan | Graphics Design | #124 | | Top Paid | Ukraine | Graphics Design | #134 | | Top Paid | Singapore | Graphics Design | #140 | | Top Paid | Malaysia | Graphics Design | #146 | | Top Paid | Taiwan | Graphics Design | #149 | | Top Paid | Hong Kong SAR China | Graphics Design | #151 | | Top Paid | Türkiye | Graphics Design | #175 | | Top Paid | Spain | Graphics Design | #180 | | Top Paid | Mexico | Graphics Design | #194 | | Top Paid | China | Graphics Design | #201 | ## Drawing Pad Discovered Keywords - art drawing - sketch pad - drawing pad - simple drawing - draw pad - art pad - color draw - kids drawing pad - apple pencil drawing apps - color pad ## Apps Similar to Drawing Pad - [Tayasui Watercolor & Painting](https://apptail.io/app/tayasui-watercolor-painting-SLd/united-states) - [Art of Weird](https://apptail.io/app/art-of-weird-BST/united-states) - [Zen Brush 3](https://apptail.io/app/zen-brush-3-dUcb/united-states) - [ArtRage Vitae Mobile Painting](https://apptail.io/app/artrage-vitae-mobile-painting-RRmb/united-states) - [Percolator: Drippy Mosaics](https://apptail.io/app/percolator-drippy-mosaics-VAnb/united-states) - [WowPaint](https://apptail.io/app/wowpaint-Nxuc/united-states) - [Tayasui Color](https://apptail.io/app/tayasui-color-kMGc/united-states) - [Inspire Pro](https://apptail.io/app/inspire-pro-muae/united-states) - [iOrnament Pro – art, fun, calm](https://apptail.io/app/iornament-pro-art-fun-calm-wXel/united-states) - [Doodle Buddy Draw for iPad](https://apptail.io/app/doodle-buddy-draw-for-ipad-Onil/united-states) ## Drawing Pad Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/drawing-pad-LZZd/united-states) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/drawing-pad-LZZd/canada) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/drawing-pad-LZZd/australia) - [China](https://apptail.io/app/drawing-pad-LZZd/china) - [Norway](https://apptail.io/app/drawing-pad-LZZd/norway) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/drawing-pad-LZZd/belgium) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/drawing-pad-LZZd/denmark) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/drawing-pad-LZZd/chile) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/drawing-pad-LZZd/vietnam) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/drawing-pad-LZZd/colombia) - [Egypt](https://apptail.io/app/drawing-pad-LZZd/egypt) - [Lithuania](https://apptail.io/app/drawing-pad-LZZd/lithuania) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/drawing-pad-LZZd/peru) - [Portugal](https://apptail.io/app/drawing-pad-LZZd/portugal) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/drawing-pad-LZZd/ukraine) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
