Besides being one of the worst representations of graffiti here in the App Store, as far as I can tell, this app does nothing in the way of teaching someone how to draw letters. You’re also bombarded with ads at every possible turn (some of which you are unable to X out of and close and you are forced to sit through the 20 second video in order to return back to wasting your valuable time exploring this terrible app.
And I haven’t even reached the worst part about this piece of garbage, sorry excuse for an educational type of graffiti application. You wanna hear what the worst part is? Buckle up cause it’s pretty lame for these guys to do what I’m about to explain (a travesty which I noticed that another reviewer also noticed and tried to bring to everyone’s attention). Alright so, if you’re involved in the graff scene you’re most likely familiar with the Bay Area writer “Dream” who’s life was tragically cut short back in the late 90’s during a botched robbery attempt. I’m trying to keep this from being crazy long, so look it up if you need to. The reason Dream is being mentioned in my review of this app is because these guys have stolen an actual piece of his (The letters I’m talking about look to me as if they were taken from the piece Moke Dream did that was part of a long running production that was painted upon the side of the old Hostess outlet, which eventually closed down and then sat empty for about a decade. It was located on 16th St. in San Francisco, in between South Van Ness & Harrison St. This production eventually got buffed over by what was most likely an over zealous city clean-up crew somewhere around 5 or 10 years ago. However, that’s after it got to shine there in that location for around 20 years or so.
Now, I don’t know the developers of this awful app and I’m glad that’s the current situation. But, if for some reason I have this wrong and maybe they went and made a donation to the his estate or something instead of outright stealing this man’s unique letter form to use in your app, please respond. That way you can set things straight and let folks know that you didn’t, in fact, steal the man’s artwork for use in your horrible attempt at making a graffiti app without first acquiring the appropriate permission. My guess is that there’s no way that Mike or even anyone who is associated with his estate would ever want to have signed off on being part of a project that’s as weak as this one. This app is straight trash!

Anyway, it is still great app for anyone.
Thanks for your time to write a long comment.
