Draw – Formally known as iDraw!

Draw is a paintbrush app that lets users create their own unique image. After launching the app, users are presented a workspace with tools they can use to add lines, shapes, and images. To draw a line, users must tap the brush they wish to use on the bottom of the screen, and each brush draws in a different color. Users can change the line’s thickness by tapping the icon on the right of the brushes. To add shapes, users must tap the “Shape” button on the top of the screen. They can also insert images by tapping the “Picture” icon on the top of the screen and choosing if they wish to take a picture, import a picture from their camera roll, or clear images. When users are finished creating their drawing, they can tap the “Paperclip” icon to share it via email or save it to their camera roll.
