New In the kids corner

Dance Buddy.

Snap your face, then dance in front of the camera. A crayon stick buddy wearing your face copies every move.

  1. 1Add your face. Take a selfie or pick a photo. It becomes your buddy's head.
  2. 2Dance! Live with the camera, or turn a dance video you already have into a stick buddy video, music included.
  3. 3Keep it. A grown-up can save the video to Photos or send it to family.

Private by design. Everything runs on the iPhone, even offline. No face data is collected, uploaded or shared, and the face photo is forgotten when you leave.

Questions

Is it really AR?

It uses your iPhone's camera. The picture floats over the live view of your paper, so you see both at once and follow the lines with your pencil.

What do I need?

Your phone, paper and a pencil. Raise the phone 20 to 30 cm above the sheet on a glass, a stack of books or a phone stand so your hand fits underneath.

Can I trace my own photos?

Yes. Upload from your photo library with Premium, or search for a picture on the web inside the app.

Is it free?

The download is free and includes a sample lesson, a coloring page and several templates. Premium unlocks everything: $2.99/week or $19.99/year on this website, $4.99/week or $29.99/year in the app.

How does the free trial work?

Start it on this website and Premium unlocks right away. You pay nothing during the trial. When it ends it becomes Premium Weekly at $2.99/week, unless you cancel first with the link in your Paddle receipt email.

Why is Premium cheaper on this website?

App Store purchases include Apple's fee. Buying here skips it, so we pass the saving on to you. It's the same Premium: after paying, you unlock it in the app with one tap.

How do I cancel?

Bought in the app: iPhone Settings > your name > Subscriptions, at least 24 hours before renewal. Bought on tooldraw.app: use the link in your Paddle receipt email, or write to support@tooldraw.app.

Can I get a refund?

Web purchases: full refund within 14 days, see our Refund Policy. App Store purchases: request it from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Can I keep what I draw?

Take a photo or record a video of your drawing as you go. Both are saved in My Draw.

Does it work on iPad and Android?

It runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 15.6 or later. There's no Android version yet.

Is my child's face uploaded with Dance Buddy?

No. Dance Buddy runs entirely on the iPhone and works offline. No face data is collected, stored, uploaded or shared, and it is never used to recognize anyone. The face photo stays in memory only while the screen is open. Saving or sharing a video needs a grown-up.

Do I need the internet?

Only for web search. The templates and lessons are stored in the app.

Find a sheet of paper, open AR Draw, and trace your first picture tonight.
