5/5☆☆☆☆☆ I L♡VE this app! ☆☆☆☆☆
I extremely love doodle buddy and use it almost every day. You should totally get it. You can draw almost anything you want and it doesn’t cost a thing. I mean, sometimes you have to watch an ad randomly, but you can press skip almost immediately… you even get doodle bucks when you watch an ad! You can even import a photo for a background for your drawings, with additional premade backgrounds. You can choose what size you want to draw with, and there’s options for what kind of texture you want to draw with: paint (default), chalk, glitter, and one more I forgot. If you want your drawing to look fuzzy or furry or smudgy or whatever, you can use the ‘smudge’ tool. There are more than 100 emoji stamps to choose from, and you can get even more with doodle bucks, which is basically in-game money, but it doesn’t cost ANYTHING. Yes, this app can be totally free. In addition to all this, you have a ‘text’ option where you type something in, and you can choose from many different fonts and colors. In the settings section, you can share your drawing, go to the emoji stamp store (again, this is all totally free), delete your drawing, and more. There is also undo and redo buttons, which a lot of drawing apps don’t have, sadly. This is honestly deserves a five star review. And IMO it’s the best. TY for reading, — Doodle_L♡VER

5/5Doodle Buddy
Doodle Buddy is a fun app which kids can go on any time because it is not a game app , it is a drawing app. This app allows kids to be creative and draw whatever they want. Not many people have art supplies right in front of then all the time. So, if you have some free time, just take out your device and start drawing! It is so fun to draw on this app because it has stencils and emojis that you can put on to make your drawing look even better! You can also change the color and you can change what type of pencil you want. You can pick normal, chalk board, glittery, and much more! Doodle Buddy is not just a normal drawing app, it is great and unique ! I bet many kids around the world are drawing happily on your app! The best part is that the app is not only for kids, it is also for adults. On this app, everybody can have fun!

The greatest app of all time! · 30 Aug 2026
3/5Amazing app for coloring, But terrible app for presentations
Thank God you got a rid of the shake to erase feature, I know it’s still on there but it will ask you if you want to erase when you shake it. That’s not my real issue, there’s so many features that I need on there, there’s no eraser! if you want to remove a mistake, you have to clear off the whole drawing!? Why not have an eraser so you can remove something and not the whole drawing. And do you know the textbox you can type stuff in which is cool but there’s one problem with it, if you’re trying to drag it somewhere and you accidentally tap, it permanently stays on and you can’t move it to where you want it to be anymore. Can you just tap it then you can move it? One other say I need, is how do Undo and redo all the way! Every time I try to undo or redo everything, it doesn’t work! If you undo a mistake, it will randomly come back if you keep drawing! The last project I was trying to do was the history of North America. It was all messed up thanks to this app! Apple Keynote or Adobe would be better to do presentations, and Google slides. So I was so very upset and I deleted this app for what it just did. Thank you for understanding. Goodbye.

1/5One annoying glitch that ruins an otherwise great app.
So, this app is fun. I used it all the time when I was younger, and still use it for quick sketches/doodles from time to time. Lately I've been using it for funny pictures and short animations that I send my friends. We love them. The problem is, drawing in the app can be a real pain. In general, I know this app is for younger kids, like ages 4-9, and so I can't expect it to be very advanced. But there is one annoying glitch that drives me up a wall. Every. Single. Time. It's hard to explain, but basically a diagonal line will automatically appear between two vertical lines as soon as I begin drawing the second vertical line. I don't know why this feature was added, as I can't see how it benefits the artist in any way. In addition, when I attempt to hit the "go back" button, it erases all three of the lines, not just the diagonal line. I have tried and tried to figure out how to avoid the glitch, but it always seems to appear, making me have to compromise on my drawing to avoid having several diagonal lines appear all over the drawing I just created. Please fix this weird feature, because I've had fun with the app, but it isn't worth the frustration at all.

5/5Doodle Buddy is AMAZING
This app is great overall. I love how you can doodle with a HUGE range of colors and how there are all these features- stamps, stencils, glitter, chalk effects, smudging/blending effects, different backgrounds, etc. Even though when it was updated last year, they took away most of the regular stamps and replaced them with all the regular emojis (which doesn't make sense bc you can add your own emojis in text boxes), but it's still a great app. I use it all the time. Sometimes I use a photo from my camera roll as a background for a drawing and, not to brag or anything, but I actually have made some really great drawings that look professional and so good because of all the excellent painting tools. Doodle Buddy is absolutely great and I love it. Great job guys! 💜🎨

          "body": "I extremely love doodle buddy and use it almost every day. You should totally get it. You can draw almost anything you want and it doesn’t cost a thing. I mean, sometimes you have to watch an ad randomly, but you can press skip almost immediately… you even get doodle bucks when you watch an ad! You can even import a photo for a background for your drawings, with additional premade backgrounds. You can choose what size you want to draw with, and there’s options for what kind of texture you want to draw with: paint (default), chalk, glitter, and one more I forgot. If you want your drawing to look fuzzy or furry or smudgy or whatever, you can use the ‘smudge’ tool. There are more than 100 emoji stamps to choose from, and you can get even more with doodle bucks, which is basically in-game money, but it doesn’t cost ANYTHING. Yes, this app can be totally free. In addition to all this, you have a ‘text’ option where you type something in, and you can choose from many different fonts and colors. In the settings section, you can share your drawing, go to the emoji stamp store (again, this is all totally free), delete your drawing, and more. There is also undo and redo buttons, which a lot of drawing apps don’t have, sadly. This is honestly deserves a five star review. And IMO it’s the best. TY for reading, — Doodle_L♡VER",

          "body": "Doodle Buddy is a fun app which kids can go on any time because it is not a game app , it is a drawing app. This app allows kids to be creative and draw whatever they want. Not many people have art supplies right in front of then all the time. So, if you have some free time, just take out your device and start drawing! It is so fun to draw on this app because it has stencils and emojis that you can put on to make your drawing look even better! You can also change the color and you can change what type of pencil you want. You can pick normal, chalk board, glittery, and much more! Doodle Buddy is not just a normal drawing app, it is great and unique ! I bet many kids around the world are drawing happily on your app! The best part is that the app is not only for kids, it is also for adults. On this app, everybody can have fun!",

          "body": "Thank God you got a rid of the shake to erase feature, I know it’s still on there but it will ask you if you want to erase when you shake it. That’s not my real issue, there’s so many features that I need on there, there’s no eraser! if you want to remove a mistake, you have to clear off the whole drawing!? Why not have an eraser so you can remove something and not the whole drawing. And do you know the textbox you can type stuff in which is cool but there’s one problem with it, if you’re trying to drag it somewhere and you accidentally tap, it permanently stays on and you can’t move it to where you want it to be anymore. Can you just tap it then you can move it? One other say I need, is how do Undo and redo all the way! Every time I try to undo or redo everything, it doesn’t work! If you undo a mistake, it will randomly come back if you keep drawing! The last project I was trying to do was the history of North America. It was all messed up thanks to this app! Apple Keynote or Adobe would be better to do presentations, and Google slides. So I was so very upset and I deleted this app for what it just did. Thank you for understanding. Goodbye.",

          "body": "So, this app is fun. I used it all the time when I was younger, and still use it for quick sketches/doodles from time to time. Lately I've been using it for funny pictures and short animations that I send my friends. We love them. The problem is, drawing in the app can be a real pain. In general, I know this app is for younger kids, like ages 4-9, and so I can't expect it to be very advanced. But there is one annoying glitch that drives me up a wall. Every. Single. Time. It's hard to explain, but basically a diagonal line will automatically appear between two vertical lines as soon as I begin drawing the second vertical line. I don't know why this feature was added, as I can't see how it benefits the artist in any way. In addition, when I attempt to hit the \"go back\" button, it erases all three of the lines, not just the diagonal line. I have tried and tried to figure out how to avoid the glitch, but it always seems to appear, making me have to compromise on my drawing to avoid having several diagonal lines appear all over the drawing I just created. Please fix this weird feature, because I've had fun with the app, but it isn't worth the frustration at all.",

          "body": "This app is great overall. I love how you can doodle with a HUGE range of colors and how there are all these features- stamps, stencils, glitter, chalk effects, smudging/blending effects, different backgrounds, etc. Even though when it was updated last year, they took away most of the regular stamps and replaced them with all the regular emojis (which doesn't make sense bc you can add your own emojis in text boxes), but it's still a great app. I use it all the time. Sometimes I use a photo from my camera roll as a background for a drawing and, not to brag or anything, but I actually have made some really great drawings that look professional and so good because of all the excellent painting tools. Doodle Buddy is absolutely great and I love it. Great job guys! 💜🎨",
