RESOURCES: (Rating 4/5)

The Sketch Pad HD consumes around 21 to 25 MB of ram. The app freezes sometimes. Strangely, the app requires some permission which we think is not required for a drawing app like – Your location – Fine (GPS) Location, coarse (network-based) location and Phone calls – read phone state and identity. A complete list of permissions can be found on the permissions tab here.

COST & IN-APP: (Rating 4/5)
