Tayasui Doodle Book

Once I familiarize myself with this app I found it very useful and fun.

Honestly not that riveting of an app. I don’t like how when you go back into it after closing out that the template/background doesn’t default to whatever was there before. I was drawing stick men and when I went back to work on it more, the background didn’t have the circles…lame. Not worth it.

1) I personally don't understand why people are unhappy with this app. It's deliberately minimalist. Doodling, by definition is occasionally mindless and repetitive, which this app glorifies. 2) A kind suggestion: see if you can make a Dark mode style upgrade. Maybe you can call it the creepy mode, or Halloween pad.

iPhone 11 iOS 13.3 I bought the app for $1.99. I watched the tutorial all the way through. After that, I looked through the pages it had and then chose the Pencil and was able to doodle. Next I erased the doodle and choose another page. There’s I choose the pen and doodle a bit. I choose the Pencil again I was able to choose the Pencil and heard all the sounds the app makes but no lines in the page. I choose the felt to next. It worked fine. Back to the Pencil. No go. Won’t write. Back to the pen. Now it won’t write. Felt tip still works. Erase still works. I closed out the app and restarted it. No go. Pencil and pen still don’t write. All I want is for the app to work.

Hi I'm almost 11 and I love doodling. This app is good to use, when you just want to draw. I'm the biggest doodler you'll ever meet, so this app can get me doodling! Also, I thought there was no free version. 🤦‍♀️ That's why I had to pay 2 bucks. (With my Apple gift card I got from Santa.) Thanks for the great app!

I really like this app, but there needs to be a better way of navigating to other pages. Swiping to change the page is very intuitive, but this also needs a thumbnail view so you can choose a page without having to swipe twenty times!

Updated Review: Thank you for the kind reply and offering to upload my doodles to the Community section since it isn't working for me. That's so very kind of you and I've sent you email with my doodles attached and also an animation I made from one of my doodles that I just wanted to share with you, not for upload, but just to check out of you'd like, I hope you like it. Thanks, again, for your friendly and wonderful help. You're one of the few developers on the App Store that I can still count on to just be great people. And thanks again for this wonderful application. If the Community section worked better I think this app would be one hundred percent perfect. But, even though it doesn't work for me currently, I still believe Tayasui Doodle Book is a 5-star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 application easily and I would highly recommend this app to others. And I also find that the Pro asking price is so very worth it for all the features you get included. You guys at Tayasui are the best, thank you for all your help, this wonderful app and all your awesome art applications and God bless. Original Review: I'm enjoying Tayasui's, Doodle Book, application so very much. This program is incredibly fun in my opinion. I've already doodled tons of the endless pages available and I cannot wait to tackle more of them. I had previously purchased all of Tayasui's other applications forever ago and have always enjoyed them as well. But, I had never actually seen Doodle Book in the App Store until yesterday. I'm not sure if it's a newer, just released application or if I just missed it all this time somehow. I'm so glad I found it though, because it is so much fun to doodle away in this fun program I think. The app gives you all these prompts and templates for doodling, like cute little bear head templates, all sorts of different shapes to fill in or also just nice looking blank canvases as well. I own lots of painting applications on my iPhone and iPad and love to use them all. But, sometimes it's nice to take a break from coming up with something new to draw and that's where Doodle Book comes in I think. If you can't think of anything to draw just scroll through the seemingly endless templates in this app that will help get you started. It couldn't be more cute, simple and enjoyable in my book. I also really appreciate how helpful and friendly the Tayasui developers are. I had an issue with the application and emailed Tayasui. They got back to me the very next day, very early actually, and were so very helpful and friendly in answering my questions. So, many thanks to the dev team for this app, all of your apps and for your kind help. The only small issue I have with Doodle Book, and this doesn't really detract from how great I think that this program is in my opinion. Is that I figured out how to share my doodles with the community, after emailing the developer, by clicking the export/share button and then scrolling to the right of the top level of apps until I got to Doodle Book. But, the problem is, once I've shared a doodle with the community, well, they never seem to show up in the lists available. I figured right off the bat they wouldn't show up in the Popular or Featured categories. But, I never see the doodles I've shared listed in the Recent category, or whatever it's called. I don't know what is going on but it's annoying that I never have any proof that my doodle I shared with the Doodle Book community, actually made it into the list. So, if Tayasui, would please work on refining the Community aspect of the this app, so that I could always see proof of my doodles being shared and uploaded to the community section of the application, well, I'd be very grateful for that, thank you. Like I mentioned, though, this issue doesn't detract from my love of this app and my rating at all. I still wholeheartedly would recommend Doodle Book and in my opinion the app is easily worth the two bucks I spent on it. Especially with it having no stupid subscription garbage included. Which, many thanks to Tayasui for being such a cool 😎 and ethical developer and only selling your great applications for one fair price. Awesome devs like you are a dying breed on the App Store and I'm so very grateful for you selling this app and all of programs for one fair price. Thank you kindly for that and God bless.

I wouldn’t normally even comment on an app when I haven't purchased the full version, and I'm sure the pro membership delivers a good product. But first, in a category that has such tough competition, it doesn't seem very friendly for the company to allow for a sample version that isn't essentially "complete" as a reduced-feature but satisfying app. This is fairly common. I can even respect the minimalist vibe: you're given a #2 pencil, a blue, ballpoint pen, an eraser and a doodle book to doodle in. It's straightforward and honest. But no color changes? Are we monks? The pencil is quite satisfying for what it is. It looks like graphite scribbling on rough paper. The ball point is not evocative of actual ball point, which can actually achieve quite a variety of line qualities. And if you're going to have the principled stance of such admirably few choices, you really ought to work out the glitches. At fist I could flip through the pages, but eventually couldn't go backwards. So drawings were lost, never to be seen again. Big no-no. The decision of whether to go pro was at that point, easily made. Sorry guys.

So I got the app despite the review thinking that people were over exaggerating but there is literally nothing there you get 3 drawing utensils (1 is an eraser) and 1 coloring page. If you want more you have which is absolutely ridiculous I must say I’m disappointed.

This app is not worth it! do not get it! if you don’t get doodle book pro , then ... well you can only do like 4 pages of doodling! And it only has 3 things to draw with! DO NOT GET THIS APP!!!!
