• "Draw your photo" now makes a real outline. Scratchy, broken lines are gone — photos become bold, clean, traceable drawings that follow your actual photo. • New "My outlines" shelf on the home screen: every blank outline you've made is one tap from Trace, Color, Puzzle or Doodle.

Coloring fixes, and a clearer "Start over". • Brush strokes work again on caricature coloring pages. Sliding up or down used to leave nothing behind — only sideways strokes stuck. Now every stroke paints, whichever way you draw. • The paint bucket stays where you put it. AI-made outlines sometimes have tiny breaks, and color used to pour straight through and flood the whole page. Fills now stop at the lines — and if a shape really is open, we say so and point you to the Brush instead of wrecking the picture. • Your dark crayons stay crayons. Strokes in Ink, Grape, Ocean or Cocoa could come back as black lines you couldn't paint over or erase the next time you opened a picture. Fixed. • "Start over" is the same everywhere. In Color, Doodle and Mandala it now looks identical and says what it does, so it's never mistaken for undo.

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.
