Sadly Lacking
Positives:
1) Colorful stamps
2) Inexpensive
3) Instant shadows
Negatives:
1) Odd selection of stamps & very few of them. Also very little "variety."
2) Shadows available only on a select few "pre-created" objects like the stamps. Its hard to figure out how to get the shadow function to even work.
3) Most options/functions are quite poorly implemented. The User Interface is "clunky."
4) The selection of brushes is minute.
5) Undo only works for SOME options. For example, if you accidently click on one of the coloring-book pages (easy to do) your entire painting is covered by this coloring-book page & this CANNOT be undone. All your work is totally lost since the coloring-book page covers virtually the entire screen.
6) Sometimes there is an extremely long lag-time with undos or other functions resulting in the same button being selected again, resulting in multiple actions being taken when only one action was wanted.
7) Comparing Paint to the iPhone paint program Squiggles is like comparing a plain ink pen to the computer program PhotoShop. Squiggles runs smoothly & intuitively, offers so much more "meat", & comes with amazing online support and instructions (if you feel you need them), that I find it impossible to recommend Paint under ANY circumstances.
If youre looking for an artistic, creative paint program thats easy to use & doesnt require a ton of artistic talant, forget Paint and get Squiggles!
If you want a program that lets you paint with the look and feel of a real artist, check out Brushes. I use both Squiggles AND Brushes. I still have Paint on my iPhone but only use it when I want one of its few, specific colored stamps or a circle or box with a quick & easy drop shadow. Otherwise it sits there uselessly taking up space.
If I hadnt bought it 1st or if I could have tested it before buying it, I wouldnt have wasted the $0.99 as well as the iPhones storage space.
