This is our biggest update yet — learning, chess, and a lot more drawing. Trace & Learn — a whole new way to learn letters and numbers! Trace A–Z and 0–9 with a friendly guiding dot, hear each letter spoken aloud, and celebrate with a picture and word ("A for Apple!"). Finish a letter and doodle its matching drawing — 26 new Letter Friends templates included. Parents: choose how many times each letter is practiced (2, 3, or 5) right in the letter style settings. Chess, your way — pick your pieces: soft clay armies, classic pieces, or draw your own army! Sketch all six pieces (copy the clay ones or invent an animal kingdom), and watch your drawings battle it out — your side plays them exactly as you drew them. Then share your board as a keepsake card, straight from the win screen. More of YOUR art in the games — draw your own Tic-Tac-Toe marks and Connect 4 discs, and now color everything in with the new fill bucket. Every drawing shows up bright and true on every board. Puzzles, leveled up — choose Easy, Medium, or Hard on every jigsaw, and turn your own saved drawings into puzzles! Snakes & Ladders doodle squares — land on a paintbrush square, draw the prompt in 20 seconds, and earn a bonus hop if your opponent loves it. Calmer, simpler screens — game screens now show just what you need while playing; everything else lives one tap away behind the paint palette. Plus: the 3D chess board is now fully playable with VoiceOver, bigger drawing canvases, smoother zooming in Trace, and lots of polish. As always: no ads, no accounts, just drawing.

Better on iPad - Drawing modes now fill the whole screen, and the tool bars are centered and sized for the larger display. Fixes and polish - The Trace flashlight now correctly shows as unavailable on devices that have no light (most iPads). - Fixed rare out-of-memory crashes when using very large photos. - Accessibility and layout refinements throughout.
