Ratings and reviews

I love this app so much. I bought one of the sets with a stand included when my local JoAnn Fabrics was going out of business. I had no idea at the time the app would be such a source of inspiration! I love to paint, but am not great at drawing. The tracing technology opens things wide open for me now! it seems like the possibilities are endless. The classes and art instructors are great. I can't believe the monthly membership is so affordable. I'm okay with it - for sure! I'm just surprised.

What a brilliant little app. First I was upset because you only get a few free images you can trace and you cannot access images in your own gallery without paying. But, fair enough the images are useful to establish if you like the app or not. It's so simple. My 9 year old effortlessly drew some spectacular images. We decided to get the app for 7.99$ per month. He's enjoying it so much. As a bonus when you sign up, you can add 3 extra family members or friends to use the full app. Very happy.

Not worth $12.99 a month. Very disappointing. Was hoping for more free options to help my daughter out. Only a set of clip art feet. Can't add any of my own pictures either for free. Just not worth the price imo. Was excited to see how it worked but this was a let down. There should be a free tear where we can add a limited amount of our own pictures a month and basic tools, nothing fancy. I.e: 3 pix a month. Then maybe a second tear for $5.99 with more features added.
