Tayasui Doodle Book 4+

New update is bad

I have used this app very much and it is so amazing! I recommend it to anyone as it lets your creativity flow! I have bought the premium and may I say it is wonderful and for only a few pounds I love it!

But with this new update there are a few great things and a few bad. First, I LOVE the new tool and I just finished a drawing when the update came out and I was so annoyed that I couldn’t have used it sooner!

Now the bad. The watercolour is no use to me! I used to blend it with other colours but now when I change the colour it dries and I can’t blend it together to form a gradient! This is really frustrating and annoying so I do wish there would be a solution to the problem. (Maybe a switch in setting so that I can use blending or not for the watercolour!)

I definitely will use the app in the future but I won’t use the watercolour as much. I still LOVE the new tool though!

It’s a good simple app

Not every drawing app out there is supposed to be photoshop level tools, Doodle Book is all about emulating mainly the art of doodling with a pen or pencil on a notepad or various paper like when you’re talking on the phone. Simple, effective and quite nice. There’s no over the top features, you can use your finger or Apple Pencil if you have an iPad Pro, it doesn’t support pressure sensitivity which isn’t a deal breaker, it could have it but it’s not really necessary. The tools all have a slight opacity so you can get a darker tone going over yourself, and the various stock papers are really nice, there’s a lot to choose from. They could try implementing a gallery like Procreate which saves your doodles and you create a new document choosing your paper stock, rather than flicking through your pages as they are, like a book (I can see why they did this).

Overall it’s a great little app that you should try, and maybe support the developer by getting the upgrade version (you can try for 1hour) which unlocks the watercolour brush and choosing your colour. There’s certainly potential!

Excellent simple app

I was initially unimpressed for one reason only - it seemed that you have to laboriously erase any drawing using the eraser. In fact you can erase the whole drawing by double tapping the eraser. This is not stated anywhere in the tutorial which is a pity.
I use it mostly as a quick note taker and it is splendid for that job.
Update : the double tap erases the drawing, but when you close down the app it comes right back.
