Major Highlights of the Week

Unexpected Paywall
Users are frustrated by the unexpected paywall that appears after completing only a few drawing exercises, which limits access to further content unless a subscription is purchased. This abrupt transition from free to paid content is perceived as misleading and unfair.
I liked it at first until they trick you and make you pay! Worst app ever!
High Subscription Cost
The annual subscription fee of $89.99 is considered excessively high by many users, deterring them from continuing with the app. This pricing model is seen as prohibitive, especially for those who cannot afford such a significant expense.
You need to pay $90 per year that needs to stop.
Limited Free Content
The app offers very limited free content, with users often only able to complete one or two drawing projects before being prompted to pay. This restriction on free content is a major point of dissatisfaction.
I only got to draw the panda and that’s it so this game stupid.
Misleading Advertising
Advertisements for the app suggest it is free, leading to disappointment when users discover the need for payment to access most features. This discrepancy between advertising and actual app experience is causing user frustration.
Ok in the ad I thought this said totally free……yeah well it’s not make it free then I’ll download it.
Delayed Content Updates
Users are frustrated with promised content updates that are delayed significantly, such as new drawing paths that remain 'coming soon' for extended periods. This lack of timely updates diminishes user trust and engagement.
It’s been A YEAR OMG, THATS TOOOOOOOO LONG IM SOOOO MAD.
Email Requirement
The app's requirement for users to provide an email address to save progress is seen as intrusive and unnecessary by some users. This requirement is a barrier to a seamless user experience.
But when you like start shading and draw for practice it asks for your email to save your progress like what?
