Better drawing and journaling apps are available, and they cost less.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Finger painting goes digital on iPad. While apps like Brushes and Layers vie for the high-end drawing\/painting market on the App Store, a number of lower-cost, shorter-learning curve apps are making iPad doodling quick and easy. I took a look at two of them, Doodle Buddy and Draw It! and came away with a pretty clear favorite.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Draw It! was kind of frustrating to use, and the fact that its price has already been dropped by 50% reflects the rather amateur style of the app. The program’s instruction screen is laid out in an oversized, hard-to-read font and riddled with typos (“taping” instead of “tapping,” etc.), which is never a good sign, either. A basic drawing program augmented by the addition of backgrounds – blank, graph & note paper, user photos -text notes, Draw It! straddles the line between drawing and journaling apps. Unfortunately it’s not nearly good enough at either task to bear recommendation. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The app suffered from lag that sometimes caused a short but noticeable pause between screen taps and responses from the program. Invoking the text note function made things worse: It’s unclear how to call up the QWERTY board for typing, text notes moved around the screen without warning and\/or momentarily appeared in duplicate, and editing existing notes was possible though I couldn’t figure out how to do it with any certainty. In-app help outlines a tap-double tap-triple tap system for edits and erasing, but it didn’t do enough to make the program very usable. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The idea behind Draw It! is fine, but the execution is poor. Skip this one in favor of other drawing\/painting or journaling programs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n See Also:<\/strong> Doodle Buddy (Free)<\/a><\/p>\n Draw It! for iPad ($1.99) – by iPhonig iTunes Preview Link Pros: Drawing and painting app with multiple stock backgrounds and support for user photos as backgrounds.
