App Profile: Scribble N’ Play

The concept for this app is cool, but it needs TONS more development before it is released as an app. I just tried to scan some words I wrote on my son’s new Scribble n Play, and the scan came out as scribbles. The app is advertised on the Scribble n Play package as “Save & Share, available on the App Store,” but an app that doesn’t work shouldn’t be advertised as a potential incentive for buying a product.

The app works! I drew something on the Scribble n Play, scanned it (manually), and after a bit of cleanup I had a scan. The app doesn’t know where the boundaries of the device are, so I had to do a manual scan. And because of that, the scan app interprets the border as part of your drawing, leaving some noise on the border. The app has an eraser tool. Using that I cleaned up the border. I could easily text the resultant image to friends. The app doesn’t know what colors you’ve actually drawn on your Scribble n Play, so I think what it’s doing is scanning, reversing the image, sending everything to black and white, then applying a rainbow effect to the scan. Would be neat if it used the colors I drew in. Would be neat if it could also just scan to black & white. Then I could color as I please. Overall, a silly & fun purchase for kids & adults alike. - Adam

Unable to scan pictures. Keep getting and message saying I need to check my camera and photo settings. I have and can’t fix the problem there. After reading reviews here, it looks like the developer either doesn’t read the reviews or has abandoned the app.
