Every tool you remember is here — pencil, brush, airbrush, fill, eraser, shapes, lines, curves, and text — now touch-first and easy to use. Made a mistake? Undo as much as you like. COLORS & THEMES • The classic color palette, plus millions of colors in a nostalgic picker • 33 retro themes, classic and modern chrome — every window and title bar repaints to match • Full CRT mode for that authentic phosphor-glow look YOUR GALLERY, ALWAYS SAVED • Drawings save themselves to your on-device Library • Rename, duplicate, sort and organize your artwork • Nothing is uploaded — your art stays on your device EXPORT & SHARE • Export as PNG, JPG, BMP or PDF • Share anywhere with the system share sheet • Import from Files, Photos or the camera and draw right on top PRIVATE & OFFLINE • Works completely offline — no internet needed • No account, no sign-up, no tracking • Completely free Whether you're nostalgic for 90s computing, making pixel art, doodling, or just want a simple, fun drawing app, Paint.exe brings the classic paint experience back to life. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

It’s good. I just wish it had a quick undo/redo button somewhere on screen or maybe with gestures

Developer Response
Thank you so much for trying our app and for taking the time to leave a review. A quick undo/redo option is a great suggestion. Currently, undo and repeat are located in the Edit menu to stay true to the original program, but we agree that quicker access through on-screen buttons or gestures could be a useful improvement. We’ll keep this in mind as we continue improving the app.

The only thing I think it’s missing is the right-click eraser trick which I use alot for sketching so I kinda have to sketch in paint 98 first then transfer it to here lol otherwise I really love the color options here and that some of the tools that didn’t work very well in the other app work better here! the text tool for example looks way better and I haven’t used this app long enough yet but i get the feeling it saves way more art than the other one since you can sort by name and date.

Almost perfect

If there was a shortcut or something to undo / redo this would be a perfect 5/5.

Developer Response
Thank you so much for the review, and I will add an easy undo/redo floating icon to assist with this in a future update. Currently there is actually is an Undo/redo feature but it is hidden, you have to open the “Edit” menu where you will find “Undo” and “Repeat”. Rest assured I will improve this UX and make editing more fun will more accessible actions 😊
