Sketch Drawing: Trace App.

Despite the word Trace in the title, nothing in this listing describes tracing over photographs. What Ana Katarina Maric has published is a freehand sketchpad: brushes, pencils and markers, a full colour spectrum, layers, and undo and redo without limit, intended for doodling and working out ideas rather than finished digital painting.

The stated audience runs from children and beginners to students and professional illustrators, which is broad for an app this simple. Finished pieces export at high resolution, ready for printing or for more work in another program. With 98 ratings so far, it's one of the least-reviewed apps in this batch.

You open a blank canvas and start. A pencil for the rough shape, a marker for the bold lines, perhaps a second layer so the colour fill doesn't disturb the outline. Mistakes are undone as many times as needed. A child might fill the screen with colour in five minutes; a student might sketch a diagram for notes; an illustrator might rough out a composition before moving to a desktop tool. The export at high resolution is the handoff point, whether to a printer or another app.

The title does the work. People searching for a tracing app to practise drawing over photos will land here, and some will be disappointed that the description promises no such thing. Others want a free, uncomplicated sketchpad for a child or for quick idea capture and don't need the depth of a professional painting app.

Four screenshots are on the page, probably a canvas with the tool palette open, the colour picker, a layers panel and a finished example. Drawing apps generally keep the canvas dominant with tools tucked along an edge. The listing doesn't describe the interface styling, and a solo-developer tool at version 1.1 may lean on simple, functional controls.

Version 1.1 and 98 ratings place this at the very start of its life. The developer is an individual, ANA KATARINA MARIC, and the 4.5 rating from so few reviews could move sharply with the next handful. There is no indication in the listing of how regularly it will be updated. Only an App Store link is shown.

Rated 4+, consistent with a tool aimed partly at children. It is free and the listing mentions no in-app purchases, subscriptions or ads, though it doesn't explicitly exclude them. A drawing app of this sort should work entirely offline, and no account is mentioned. High-resolution exports will take up space over time, but no figures are given. Nothing is said about region restrictions, and the tracing feature implied by the name isn't described.
