Simple and effective The best paint app ever! I'm not a graphic designer, so most image editing apps are very confusing to me. This is just what I needed. I didn’t need anything as full featured as Photoshop, but I needed something to enhance drawings and the like. This app is perfect. Thank you Paint X loves.

If you’re looking for a Windows Paint on a Mac this is your tool. It's easy to use. It's very much like MS Paint which again makes it easy to pick up on. It has more features than MS Paint in fact. I find it to be versatile and useful every time I work with it. Thank you for this app!

Looks like an OK basic paint app but since there is no way to adjust the size of the brushes, they are useless.
