Misleading Pricing
Many users feel misled by the app's initial free offering, only to discover that continued use requires a subscription. This has led to frustration and disappointment, as users expected more free content based on the app's description.
I thought it was free, but after one drawing, I had to pay to continue.
Limited Free Content

You can only do one drawing for free, then you have to pay.
High Subscription Cost

The app costs too much when I can get a book for $10.
