App Aims: Freestyles Doodling

Reviewer’s Comments
iDoodle2 lite provides a simple interface for casual doodling. Draw a few simple shapes on the screen, add color and save the pictures to your photo library. You can only draw one picture at a time and then save it or erase and start over.

• Use the line, rectangle or oval tools to create simple geometric shapes
• Draw with the pen or blob tool to get more shapes
• Replay your doodles
• Tilt to undo/redo
• Save images to your library

iDoodle2 lets you easily draw simple lines and shapes with adjustable color, line thickness and opacity. Options are available for both the shape outline and fill. You can also choose from a palette of 16 colors or set the red, green and blue values separately for unlimited color options. Additionally it has an eraser tool and a clever undo/redo method.

The app has a very juvenile look with icons that are easy to recognize. You won’t find yourself wondering what the tools are, though some experimentation is required to really get the finer points of the program.

This app may be fun for children who just want to do simple drawings, but for the regular iPhone user there’s not much value here.

iDoodle2 lite is very simple, yet it does have some interesting features. In general, if you’re looking for an app to do more than basic drawing, you may want to look elsewhere. For simple sketches though it may be just right. It would be nice if you could save a doodle and open it later for more drawing.
