- Relaxing way to draw anywhere
What they complain about
- App crashes and deletes your work
- Ads interrupt you constantly
- Very few tools for serious artists
- Hard to undo mistakes or clear
Awesome experience!
I had great experience playing this, I can remember playing this with my friend in 1st grade which was 3 YEARS AGO!!! This game is so nostalgic
Purchasing full version still has microtransactions
I paid for the full version to get rid of ads. The ads disappear, but the micro-transaction menu item is still constantly present on the main screen with no option to hide it. Scummy business practices.
Awesome game, but there are some issues
Hey! It’s me, writing another game review— anyway, love this game! Very fun and relaxing for when I just want to draw something but don’t have any paper with me. (Or when I forget my pencil) I used to play this every day…until I started having a lot of issues with this app. I started drawing and then I would close out the app for the day, and when I opened the app again, my whole drawing was ruined! I was super frustrated because the app clearly had a bug, and it had distorted my drawing. I really hope you can fix this, because it made me quit and get a new app.

How do you make a new drawing.
Pros and cons
The app is good just a few annoying ads and there’s not a lot of tools to use or not a choice to make the canvas bigger and it keeps glitching there can be improvements
Doodle Buddy
Worst rated app is Claude
Can’t Zoom
We Cannot Zoom In / Out to Make Closer Details Like We Can On Sketchbook
I love
This app is so great. I will draw this every day, but they need a little fixed the glitches.
AMAZED
So AMAZING for when you’re stressed!!!
Ok?
I found this at school downloaded on my iPad at home and deleted it because I found a different drawing app called IBS paint much more efficient and fun
So good
Amazing game
Useless
Does not work like it does on iPhone.
Doodle lover
The app is so much fun. I put stamps every where everywhere where
Good
🥳happy
Miss old one
I miss coo, background real ones not as fun. And more stuff to color in you like the shapes things. And stickers not so cool anymore. Sound so eh and miss some of old. Maybe you can have 2 apps soon. This and more fun background ond.
Love it!
Best app I have ever used. It's like finger painting. You can draw just about anything you want. Friends are impressed with my artwork.
Worse
Doesn’t even work.
Good but
So it’s an amazing game. But there is not much to do because it can get boring so I consider making more things to do like new backgrounds. Also I searched for at least 11 emojis that you don’t have like a table. But the rest of the game is amazing. The adds not at all to many and the adds are kid friendly too. Love the game
Intrusive Ads
There is no way to get rid of Ads on managed iPads. VPP program doesn’t support in-app purchase. Can’t use it with students - ads are a major distraction.
No Auto-saving system
I accidentally deleted a drawing that took forever, and there’s no way to recover it. I was mad.
This is fun
Like to draw whatever I want and it’s fun because I let you pick from an assortment of colors
Problem that was promised to be fixed FOUR YEARS AGO
The auto draw bug which was clarified by one of the developers as a bug they said it would be fix soon four years ago but it still hasn’t been fix we’ve only got a way to avoid it which still doesn’t work it’s became quite a problem please fix this issue asap
SLAY
I love doodle buddy but I wish there were different types of brushes. Like for example, brushes that look like hair or adds shine to a drawing.🎀🎀
Why shake to clear
I was drawing a picture on my iPad when it fell of the wall (I was leaning it against the wall) them my picture deleted I HATE THIS APP!!!!
???
I don’t know how to use the bucks thing.
I MAKE MY VIDEOS AND SHORTS WITH DOODLE BUDDY!!!
THIS IS AMAZING AS FUC
Unusable
Loaded a photo to edit, attempted to use erase and a pop up ad appeared right in front of the section I wanted to edit. Closed the ad and a blank box kept appearing in front of the same image every time I wanted to edit the image. Totally useless.
Dooooooooooooodle
I loooooooove doodle draw buuuut there are not a lot of opshins. 👍🏻👍🏻👍👍👍👍🏻
Several bugs
Was great until recent updates. App freezes and close. Not able to use all features.
Review for doodle buddy
I love the usage of ads to get stickers! But to make it better you should just let them get as many stickers as they want. That is why I gave it a 3 star rating.
Best game
I got so creaitvive to this game I love it
This is the worst
You should be able to get this app for free but you have to pay for everything . .
Love it but...
I lov it but I wish there was more tools pls upgrade more tools
Sucked
For some reason there's a lot of lag, and it just failed totally, please fix this. 2 stars.
Doodle bubby review
I rate it a 3 because it just doesn’t seem very educational and you really
Get this game asap
It’s so fun that I play it every day
App crashes and deletes drawing
Every time My drawings are almost complete the app crashes And I have to start from about a third of the way.
Ok, but 3 things
This game is Ok, But there is 3 problems u should fix. You can’t undo much, the text thig don’t have the underline, and YOUR ART BECOME BLURRY WHENEVER U SELECT SMUGE. Pls, pls, PLSS make this go away. I like this game and I downloaded dis weeks ago. But if I see a response to my message and it says u updated it, thx. But what I love is the sounds when I stamp. I am on apple ipad and don’t judge me bc I like misspelling, but u need to fix the 3 bugs I found. Thx! rawr
Lag like hell
Lag like hell, can not use
Doodles
I like doodle buddy it’s a great app for young kids however there are some things that doodle buddy should work on
It’s kinda laggy
I like it I an make emoji cats and make 67
😡😡😡
I hate doodle buddy because it is an app that is still crashing constantly over and over again, whenever l hit the money 💰 bag 💼 and spam it for generations on and on again 💼 or clear button it says (all of your beautiful drawing will be gone for good) and either wait there or press the button clear it crashes, there is a 23% chance of it crashing and it deletes it in the background which means it is permanent and unable to run properly and work properly, l don’t need to have or, um, there is no need to restart the iPad and delete the app and then reinstall it back on again, it will kick me out, and they say it has been a problem for ever since iOS 8 or 7, maybe it needs flashback to run, it is a very fast game app but maybe it needs something for it to run the app but not for my iPad and iPhone, and that is causing the problem to occur, and it’s broken and useless despite the nonstop ads, but fix it now right now!
can’t undo clear all
i accidentally pressed clear all but i can’t undo it
Horrible
Tiene Muchisimos Errores
Pls read
Ok so i think this is a great app for the little kids, but I’ve started to get serious about art so that’s why I use a different drawing app now. The other reason is the smudging effect doesn’t really make it any better and there isn’t as much tools as other drawing apps. Overall if your just doing art for fun this app is great it’s also great if you have a little child. But if you are serious about art this apps not for you. Thankyou for reading
DOODLE BUDDY
I can always pay, but can you just bring back the classic? It seems way more better.
NOT WORTH IT!
ITISHARD TO WRITE WITH ONE HAND!
This app is great!
Perfect for making cards and drawings. I love the smudge filter most because I always draw the sea and mountains,which needs to be smudged.I ❤️doodle buddy!
Too many adds! They are super annoying!
That's all
