Simply Draw: Learn to Draw

I absolutely love Simply Draw, I really missed it when I sold my iPad. I'm so glad it's on Android now too, it's literally my favorite way to learn drawing! Edit: Unfortunately, while this was included with my Simply Piano plan on iPad, here, it is a standalone subscription that is VERY expensive. It's almost twice the price of Simply Piano, which isn't cheap. So while I do love it, I can't justify the price.

My daughter wanted this app, but it requires a subscription, which does not work for Family Link managed devices. It also has no way to purchase a subscription outside the app itself. I attempted to install it on a non-managed device and was forced into an intro that I had to close the app to get out of (no cancel or back options). After fighting with it for an hour, I just wanted to uninstall, but it would not even let me delete the account I was forced to create. Avoid at all costs!

I liked the app and the fact it teaches you to draw but like every thing you get a free 3 day trial and then you have to pay either monthly or yearly. They should state this during the advertisement or show it soon as you open the app, but I feel it should be said I'm the advertisement so if you want to pay then down load if not that way you don't waste your time with it!

I got this all to learn how to draw and I admit, it was awesome when it taught me the first drawing so I went on to draw the panda, and it immediately said I have to pay for it 😡 no one should make an app that has adds that say "It is completely free!" well it's not! The second you think it is a good app it tries to make you give stupid people money when you just wanted to draw. If you want to draw one fish without paying then go ahead and get the app, otherwise, DO NOT GET THIS!!!

How could you make ads using generative AI to bash generative AI and then expect us to pay $179.98 per year (but it's conveniently 50% off for $89.99. Aren't you generous.) to take pictures of our drawings specifically to have an AI scan them? I thought I was downloading an app where a human taught me drawing techniques step-by-step and then I took pride in my progress with a digital journal. Nobody asked for AI. The app would've been better off without it. I thought that was the whole point.
