Misleading FAQ and Marketing
The app itself is okay. Not sure why everyone thinks the app part is so great. The FAQ and ads say you get free daily energy. That is a lie. Absolute lie. You get energy from watching 3 ads. Why are such gross tactics used to falsely lure people in, only to inconvenience them until they subscribe?
Bots
Advertised as a multiplayer drawing game, but you have to pay for real multiplayer. Otherwise you’re only going against bots.
Ugh
So.. i wanted to get this app because of the videos about people drawing together? What am i faced with? A PAYWALL. So you literally need to pay just to draw? I have never seen a bigger sign of corporate greed.. I would give this 0 stars if i could
Terrible amount of forced ads
I used to love this game, now it makes me watch 3 ads just to do one drawing??? That should be illegal, I’m deleting and finding something better.
Rating and why
I did three ads it makes me go back so I decide to do it again it says free trial I press it and. It cost 10 dollars to 12 a week and 50 dollars for year IM A KID BRO
WORST APP EVER
so this app is great if you buy pro.. But if you don't, oh God. This app won't let you do anything without begging for you to buy pro. You have to buy pro to do more than a lesson a day and if you mis one day then you have to watch five adds just to get any energy to do anything.
I have to subscribe just to use it
Why do we have to subscribe to use
Warning
I don’t know if you should get this beacause it wasn’t money for 1 drawing.
Not free
Its just a 7 day free trial unless you want to waste money on this
I like it but I don't
It will not let me go if i am done and I don't have pen so please 🙏fix that and my iPad broke.
To many adds
You need to watch two adds in order to draw if you don’t want that you have to buy 20 something dollar plus subscription and it sucks
artworkout and why i rated it one star.
this game never gives me energy to draw its stupid u even need energy to draw. it doesn’t even show the “watch 3 ads for free energy” like this game really sucks.
Awful
This app sucks. After around a month, it stops giving you energy by ads and forces you to pay for the subscription if you want to keep on drawing. Even though it’s not art, at least Duolingo lets you have 25 energy a day without ads. Don’t waste your storage or money, guys.
Scaming
It scams you because you have to watch 5 ads just so you can draw something or with someone 1 star ⭐
No
Ok so I downloaded this app cause it was suppose to be the best app no it’s not why do we have to watch 3 ads that are basically movies to do 1DRAWLING also there is a time?! Like it literally says i broke my streak LIKE NO SHOOT SHERLOCK YOU WANT US TO WATCH MOVIES AND DO A TIMER THAT GOES ON FOR 100 YEARS NUH UH
Don’t use
Don’t use this app it takes u like ten mins to do a tutorial and then you have to pay for it 😭it gives a option for a 7 day free trial but I HAVE to connect a card to it while on trial pls don’t use this unless u want to pay for it
Worst app ever
U have to pay $$$ to ERASE never downloading again
This game sucks…
Whenever I first got this game I thought it was actually a good game for drawing and practicing on how to draw… but then like a week later the game was terrible and you had to watch ads every time. So I deleted the app and forgot about it. Later I tried to give it a second chance because the ratings/reviews were good.i haven’t touched this game in SO long because it’s just terrible. Then today I got back on thinking this was going to be “fun” but whenever I got on it said I had to watch THREE ads that are like a minutes long EACH. So I watched TWO and after that it said I had to watch three MORE… even if you don’t want to watch the ads you have to pay a LOT of money for a SINGLE GAME you will forget about in 2 days… this game doesn’t even deserve 1 star… like I though it was supposed to help adults AND kids to “learn” how to draw…I’m just warning your if you get this game you will spend lots of money and get bored of it REALLY easily.
This is the worst in the world!
It doesn’t even teach me how to draw this is the worst app in the world
This is the best
I love this app soooooooooo much guys keep up the good work
Bad
Every time you wanna do one you have to do three ads. I think that’s very unnecessary. Other than that I like it but I’m gonna delete it
What happened to the photo to drawing feature
I am a paying customer but I have noticed the photo to drawing feature is suddenly gone. Please bring it back or else I wont be renewing my subscription
Ad central.
The app would be fun if you didn’t get an ad after doing literally every step. It’s paywall after paywall to get you a premium service which doesn’t change anything except gives you more five minute lessons which you still have to watch ads for.
I HATE HATE HATE ENERGY!
I LOST MY STREAK BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE ENERGY! I DON'T WANNA WATCH 3 STUPID ADDS JUST TO DRAW. Can we just draw and not have energy PLEASE!Don't recommend!Find a better drawing app
0 stars if possible
Why do you have to have a trial to use the ERASER of all things and no developers I refuse to buy the pro. And why do you need energy to draw that is the dumbest thing ever you should have the right to draw whatever you want whenever you want please remove energy the pro and the free trial and most importantly the adds
Daddyyy
Ok so basically u ha ve to pay
Terrible
Okay first I liked the game and it's fun but it's probably better if you guys did not energy because I want to enjoy a game without needing any energy like chill and draw with people but you guys clearly do not understand how annoying it it is to watch three ads to get energy and then when i wanted to do a thing I needed to gret energy but I was fine with I did it but I got no energy and also if you say you can try it with 0 dollars but you cant even do it for 0 dollars because you need to subscribe and still pay for it I DON'T recommend.
I don’t like it
I think that they should lower their prices down and I think that there is way too many ads and I’m sick of it
Was OK ‘till update
Was using the only real course they had that went through multiple lessons per unit, with multiple units with instructions on steps and variation and then it all just disappeared. Tech support doesn’t know how to access it anymore. The rest of the app is just a tracing app. Cancelled. Probably just delete.
The “energy” AKA ADDS
Is it just me are when u pick ur goal, so i picked the 3day thing and u have to wait a 3 hours just to draw,get energy to draw again/ but the thing is im not patient so i had to watch[10 adds] just u get enough energy to draw with my friends. Like I HAVE TO LITERALLY WATCH 10 ADDS JUST FOR SOME STUPID ENERGY TO DRAW!!!. And haft of it was ARTWORKOUT adds and u had to get off the app or u HAVE TO wait A LONNNNNNNNG TIME. /(guys do not download this)/ .P :( ;( T-T
I dunno what to say
Honestly this could be a good drawing app IF there wasn’t so many paywalls like you have to watch 3 ads to get 1 energy just to draw. And I feel like I can’t draw without buying premium (wich is expensive) or watching an ad.
WORST GAMES
I LIKED THIS GAME AT THE START UNTIL I FOUND OUT I NEED A SUBSCRIPTION TO DRAW LIKE WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PSY TO DRAW OR WATCH A AD TO DRAW OR PAY TO USE A EARASER LIKE THIS WAS SO CALMING BUT I HAVE TO KEEP WATCHING ADS AND IM SICK OF SO THIS APP IS GETTING DELETED UNLESS THEY CHANGE IT TO WHERE YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY OR WATCH ADS LIKE FIX THIS
Bring back Photo-To-Lesson functions
I used to be able to turn a photo into a drawing lesson and now I can’t
Personally. Mid
It isn't really how u play it but I feel like this is gonna teach u IT'S artstyle not give u ur unique one if u wanna be a artist. And just to do ONE u have to watch a ad or pay. But I guess it's useful if u want a easier way to learn and just want a calming thing and not a serious learning-to-draw thing.
