-- Stickers from the Catrobat family images and more (only for this it accesses the internet)
-- Tools: brush, pipette, stamp, circle/ellipse, cropping, flipping, zooming, line tool, cursor, fill tool, rectangle, eraser, moving, rotation and much more!

I'm honestly surprised by this app. It works. You can tell that there is work out into it. That alone isn't special, however it does not have ads, in-app-purchases of any kind or even network access to grab your personal data. I expected I'd have to block network access. But I did not. Good app, worked fine for my purposes so far. Highly recommend. Would consider donating if the option was given.

Lots of options, but everything very well explained, well organised and easy to find. Exactly what I was looking for. It's necessary to safe your picture before switching to another app though. It seems it can't hold a picture I work on in RAM and so opens back into an empty screen - which has caused me to lose a couple of things in the beginning when I went to look something up and came back to my work being gone. But saving often is a good habit to get into anyway. :-D Otherwise top!

A truely free app no in app purchases no annoying ads, this is how apps should be. But I noticed some handy functions I was using on another app arent present here I am mainly talking about symetrical drawing where you draw one line on the left and it will be mirrored on the right for example. This is not a huge deal you can still totally fine draw and have all the basic features!
