Drawing for Kids Games! Apps 2 Reviews

by Jinnc411

I missed cancelling their free trial by one day. I thought OK, it’s going to be $4.99 a month or something not too bad, my mistake, but they charged me close to $30!!! I e-mailed their website and basically they said they couldn’t help me. Very frustrating & not worth the cost!!! And guess what?? There is still Ads to download their other games in Drawing after that money is spent all over. So, your 2-3 year old can get easily in the wrong thing instead of staying in the stupid thing you just Paid for!

This is a delightful this app app; clever and very engaging! I would be giving this four stars if not for the greed of expecting parents to pay for a monthly or yearly subscription to remove the locked content. If there were an alternate option for a one time purchase that just had a static set of drawings I would definitely pay it, but I'm not shelling out $20 for an app my children will likely use a handful of times in their limited screen time with so many other options.

I say four stars because, and I may be missing a feature that's already there, I don't see a way to draw around the animated portion, to make a scene. It would be especially cool if you could set foreground and background elements that the animated this app could go behind or in front of.

This is a lovely app, but this trend of apps expecting subscriptions over one time payments is really frustrating for me!

If I spend $5 for your app, there should not be ads all through it for your other games. That is so unbelievably annoying! My child is continually unsatisfied because there is always something more for her to want. You guys do this purposefully and I think that is a low tactic to try and sell your games. I like the games and would give it a 5 star rating, however I find your sales tactic manipulative...

EDIT: After emailing the developers and writing the above response, they continue to respond by denying that there are indeed distracting and manipulative ads right in the middle of the paid-for version of Drawing . These ads for other games are right in between the pictures as they slide by for the child to pick from! It would not be a big deal if it were an app for me, but these are preschool kids we are talking about...

Recently updated to subscription blocking some previous purchases. Will delete won’t allow daughters to download again. Would love to give zero stars.
Move your ads and/or make them statistically improbable for children to be directed to Drawing Store.
Examples:
Take the adds out of the line up of drawings in ‘this app for Kids’ and put a ‘more games’ icon where the sound icon is and integrate the sound icon into the setting/information button.
A second “answer” could dramatically reduce the probability of a child going to Drawing Store. For example “2nd and 4th letter of BEST? With 5 letter options. Drops the stat to below 1 percent in true random but more like %10 in applied probability. Or even keeping numerical “2x7=?” And having 5 numbers (0,1,2,3,4) has the same desired effect.
A wrong answer having a 10-30 second delay on accessing Drawing Store would strongly dissuade children as well.
You want me to get rid of my 1* review... I want you to fix a problem that you have in providing kids access to Drawing Store.

There are so many ads and buttons to subscribe all over Drawing, that it feels designed to get you to buy or download their products by accident. Sure, each such button requires solving a math problem, but even that can be done by accident (there’s only 3 answers to choose from).

The button to subscribe is prominent and flashes more than the activity buttons. I wonder which one my toddler is going to go for EVERY. SINGLE. TIME! This is a cheap tactic to get you to buy an over-priced “subscription” for a coloring book.

Look for a different app, or just go to the dollar store and buy a coloring book and some crayons. Otherwise, be ready to tell your child, “no sweetie, not that button” a million times.

I absolutely love it! It’s great! I specifically like that kids can trace the line so they learn how to draw! If you have a kid and reading this, you should definitely get it for them! I think it suits probably kids 7 and under, but something that REALLY bothers me and my kids is that there are SOOOO many locked drawings!!!! Isn’t Drawing supposed to make kids learn how to draw? Well if it is then why are so many drawings locked? I looked and there were only like 10-14 drawings allowed! And all the others were locked!!!! My kids completed all of them in a day or two and they eventually got bored again, and don’t unlock ALL of them because that wouldn’t be fair so just make some more drawings unlocked, then I know kids would love it more! Please! I’m begging you to fix this! If you do, I would change it to five stars immediately!!!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

I paid the full purchase price to unlock all the drawings on Drawing. My toddler thinks they are fun and the animation at the end is cute. However I am completely annoyed that there are other apps to download mixed in with the this app choices. I paid full price so my little wasn’t constantly handing the tablet back to me for help because something was locked. Now she is clicking on the funny food app box or the this app 123 box and her play is interrupted. It is beyond aggravating and it makes me regret paying the full price for Drawing. It would be so cute without the obvious placement of other apps that they want you to download and then pay to unlock more options within those apps.

We love Drawing! It is great for tracing and motor skill, it is fun, and completely engrosses my kiddo when I need to brush their hair. The only thing I hate and why I can’t give it full stars is the subscription. I don’t mind paying for stuff as it would be worth it but a subscription? Subscriptions for game apps just seem like a sneaky way to get money from people whereas if they just had a one time “you can open all the extra features or most with a one time payment” option I would take it.

This is a excellent this app app that keeps my son entertained for long periods of time. Drawing does have subscription options, but also allows for a full purchase of all the apps contents for a set price. The reason I did not place a full rating was due to the constant promotions of other developer apps. I do not see the promos as a problem, as it is a great way to show other apps by the developer, but my child is 2.5 years old at the time of this review. We do not allow him to access WiFi on the iPad he uses but when he taps on an app promotion from within Drawing (when he is scrolling to pick a picture to draw), there are options presented to him to access the Settings app to enable WiFi. We watched him do this on multiple occasions. We have made the one-time purchase for all in-app content as well but unlike other kids/toddler apps, Drawing promos remain in Drawing after the purchase. For the developer, a suggestion I would like to see for Drawing is to disable app promos (or at least have an adult-only option in the settings) that would allow the end user to show or hide app promos. This would especially be a good option to add if the user has an active subscription or has made an in-app purchase. Hiding Drawing promos would prevent kids from access to WiFi options. Hope this feedback is received and is helpful!

My one year old daughter loved this game, it really made her laugh. The bull and the dog sniffing and sneezing cracked her up every time. But, then it got old, before she was 2. I can’t see an older kid being interested for long as some of the animations are preprogrammed and so repetitive or simple they just don’t entertain. Others have controls and you can make the animals do stuff, so the potential to be great is there, just needs more effort by the developers to make the all the content entertaining. Don’t be afraid to introduce to very young kids and do it with them. Couldn’t rationalize paying for more than one year.

Drawing is very entertaining. My kids love it. They do have a complaint though. The wanted a way to color in the objects with something similar to spray paint or air brush. It may have that option, I just haven’t had a chance to review it myself because they are always play with it. I noticed their disappointment also when they discovered they could not make and save an automated short story that they could save and send to their friends or grandparents. Something simple like the rabbit hops over to their house (grandparents) and jump up and down in excitement to see them and end with large embrace. They have been at this game every free moment for the past 3-4 days. Personally, in my never to be humble opinion, I think it’s a great app. They are learning a lot, in many different areas. It’s also a great babysitter. Thanks for a great way to play and educate at the same time.

by Tinormous

We have clicked to buy five times over 12 months or so nut the price is too high. We would buy this for $8.99 lifetime or $.99 a month without thinking twice.

Let us know!

by Tamijo5

It is a very good game .if you want to know about it okay it’s a game where your child would love but if your child doesn’t like this app you shouldn’t download the game. You should do why when your done with coloring it will move and act like whatever it is offering you to download the game it’s also free 🥳 bini Bambini is Awesomeness

by Waterkeepers

This sample app does not have a lot of free options unfortunately, but it’s free so...I have been using Drawing with my students as a reward system and they LOVE it! They think it’s so fun to see the animals move and jump around after we’re all done coloring them. Great app...would love more free options though ;)

I just came across Drawing while looking for this app apps for my 3 year old. It’s very cute. It’s simple, but fun. It helps them with fine motor skills, having them trace outlines, which also teaches them how to draw different things. At the end the this app comes to life! I got the free version, but plan to purchase the package too.

by Cass1256

Drawing is so cute. My daughter loves it, and I also use it for teaching. The sounds and animations are so funny and clever. I even enjoy playing with it as an adult. This is the one children's app that I actually purchased because it is so neat! After a few weeks, the sound stopped. Support replied to me the same day. The problem is resolved. This is especially good to teach fine motor skills for toddlers or special needs.

This game was a life saver. We were invited to an affair with my grandaughters. The people neglected to have activities a available for the kids. But I pulled out Drawing on my phone. The girls were able to take turns this app and watching the figures come to life. They really had hours of fun playing with Drawing. It is so cute. Even an adult can join in the fun. I just bought the full version. Worth every penny. Thank you developers of Drawing!

I bought Drawing on my iCloud and tried to restore purchases on my daughters account via family sharing and learned that in-app purchases don’t work for family sharing. I emailed the developer and they got back to me explaining this but offered me Drawing on my daughters iCloud account even though it was my misunderstanding. Great customer service, and definitely happy to have my daughter draw on her iPad and not my phone! Thank you this app for Kids!

by Gooserunner

My kid really likes the game but is sometimes upset about having to pay to unlock the other animals. Rather then that he loves the interaction and getting to play with animal after he drawn with it. I recommend this if your child has a creative side and like le to draw.

by Boobox33

We purchased Drawing before they released their subscription service. And now it has locked most of the drawings and we can’t restore our purchase. So we lost the ability to draw all the pictures we’d unlocked and now they want us to pay monthly when I’ve already paid once for Drawing . Customer service never wrote me back either. Disappointed because my daughter used to love Drawing, which is why I paid to unlock it in the first place.

Do you like this app? If you do, get this app for Kids games app2! First, you can pick your picture. Second, you can pick your color. Third, it shows you how to draw it. Fourth, you can play with what you made. Fifth, you can start it over if you want to do it again. I give this game 5 stars. I hope you get this app for Kids games app2.

by Mama Jew

This is a great beginner application. There hasn't been any issues that needs the attention of the developers. Since we haven't been on this program very long , I will update my review in a few days.

My almost 3-year old grandchild has been enjoying the basic app for about a year. His finger tracing accuracy keeps on improving and he enjoys choosing the colors and animating the animals he draws. I am thinking of purchasing more pictures, but I'm not sure how much it will cost.

by Subgenious

My kids like Drawing, but get obsessed with trying to open the ads for your other apps. I get you want to garner attention for them, but maybe move them to a less direct place that kids won’t obsessively be touching.

by C.O. Girl

My special needs students absolutely love Drawing. I purchased the whole package which allows quite a few picture choices. Once they’re done tracing the picture, it comes to life just as they’ve drawn it. ❤️
