HeatPad does exactly as advertised - no more and no less. Good if you need to waste a few minutes or wind down from a panic attack. Watching the colors fade can provide a soothing visual to tire your eyes out, so you can go to sleep easier.It's also really helpful if you're having screen sensitivity issues on your device, bc the colors change wherever it senses touch (obviously). Just press/drag on slow-fade mode, watch the colors change (thus illustrating the screen sensitivity issue), then take a screenshot for reference in case of repair.All in all, a handy little app.

Is this a heat sensing pad? No. But it does allow you to create images that might remind you of those made by infrared cameras. It is simply a touch sensitive drawing pad, with great color schemes that make it seem as if you are playing with colored oils on top of water or that you are able to manipulate the oils in a lava lamp without getting burned. The images start to change and fade as soon as you draw them, so it is not for drawing in the traditional sense. Just for doodling and relaxing. Think of it like drawing with your finger in really wet sand before a wave washes it away. I appreciate that I was able to remove adds and unlock all the drawing colors and fade speeds and other options for just a dollar. Definitely worth it!A feature I didn't see the need for but found to be surprisingly fun is the ability to connect with another player, randomly chosen by the app and identified only by a non-customizable screen number. It's like communicating with an alien through color since writing is nearly impossible as everything fades away so quickly. While waiting for another player to connect, your drawing appears symmetrically. I wish that could be turned on without connecting to another player. I would rate this app at five stars if symmetry could be turned on, and if there was a way to report and block a player that used it write crude or mean words as one player I connected with did. But it's easy enough to disconnect, and as it's anonymous, there's no worry that they'll continue to pester you. Overall I LOVE this app for times when I just want to relax.

Ok so if your wondering if I gave this review the wrong amount of stars based on the title, I am going to explain. I mean smh that people think this warms your hand. Nononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononononono. That is not what this app does! It’s a drawing app!!!!!! It senses the heat of your hand and the screen changes color. It’s a DRAWING app! Also if your iPad is getting hotter when you put your hands on it, it’s broken. And seriously dangerous. Also I’m NOT one of those people who never give anything five stars because insert made up reason. The reason why I only gave 4 stars because do they really expect you to play this game for hours to unlock the modes? Could you at least add a paying alternative. Otherwise nice app super relaxing 👍😄🐵🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙

i cannot express how much i love this app. you can set the inertia level so your drawing fades quickly or more slowly and there are a ton of color schemes. it’s INCREDIBLY relaxing and has been a huge help in managing my bipolar disorder. they just updated for the new batch of iPhones and i’m so happy they’re back 😭i can’t leave w/o saying you’re an idiot if you think an app is going to heat up your phone to the extent that you can use it to warm your hands. that’s ridiculous and your phone would get damaged if it got that hot. please don’t punish this app for being unable to meet your misguided expectations
