Draw With Buddies Multiplayer

Oh my gosh. This game. Clean user interface, easy to navigate, and a fun game concept for art lovers. I’ve had so much fun playing this, and I’ve gotten to meet so many amazing artists and make friends from around the world that I otherwise never would have met! I was hooked from the moment I clicked that blue button on the App Store! When there was an issue with my drawings showing up blank for people on the receiving end, I sent the developers an email, and they responded in only 14 minutes!! FOURTEEN MINUTES!!! They immediately acknowledged the problem and began troubleshooting with me, telling me the updates and recent developments. I will confess I was a little desperate (sent them a long, informal email with much of it in all caps followed by a thousand exclamation points and angry/sad emojis, sent probably close to 5 or 6 angry feedback messages on both my devices, then attempted to call them twice to no avail), and they were super patient with me, despite me being an absolute pain in the neck. It’s only been a couple days, and the issue is ALREADY FIXED! How are they so freaking efficient?? I couldn’t ask for a better team!! …I wonder if they have a corporate address? I want to send them flowers now!!

I’ve been playing this game for a couple days with my friend. It has been a great time! But, we’ve noticed there are a few things about this app that could be better. The first suggestion I have is to fix the weird stabilizer. I’ve noticed that whenever you draw too quickly that it makes your lines jagged, its super jarring & annoying to work around. Another slight issue I’ve come across is that there is no border on where you can draw, allowing you to draw over some UI elements unintentionally. This is also very strange & makes the game feel unpolished. One more slight suggestion that I will make is the ability to customize the order in which the colors on your pallet appear. It would be helpful, for instance, to be able to sort all colors of the same hue together. But, right now there is no such feature & the colors are all strewn about in whichever order you bought them im which makes for locating the colors you would like to use be a bit challenging, as differing shades of the same hue are separated. Additionally adding an opacity slider to the bottom of the drawing UI would allow for more in depth & complicated pieces to be produced by the user. To summarize the previous points, this is a great app that is loads of fun but it has a few issues that could be adjusted that would improve the user experience tenfold. Thanks for listening to my suggestions!

It’s been a lot of fun! It gives me something to do to relax and just have fun. I love playing one on one, but the group guess and draw has left me feeling hurt and afraid, as users are allowed to send angry emoji reactions to drawings when they don’t like them (which I have experienced many times and seen happen to others many times). In my opinion, this serves no good function. Furthermore, the group draw seems overly competitive, which is less fun for the average drawer. For example, I once had a user in a group use the white board (before drawing for the group) to call out my name with the word stop, which I found very upsetting (especially since I’m not sure what it is exactly that they were telling me to stop doing? But it felt hurtful, embarrassing, intimidating, and the opposite of fun). I may not be perfect at drawing but I thought that the game was supposed to be a fun game not a game where you feel punished for not being an amazing artist (which I am not). At the risk of sounding overly sensitive, I would suggest limiting the use of angry/ negative emojis (especially in group settings), if possible? Or having groups with different levels of expected seriousness (or difficulty) so that those just wanting to have fun can just join a group of people who also just want to have fun and vice versa (then it is left up to user discretion). I know that the app cannot control other people’s actions, these are just some suggestions :) Thanks!
