App Thursday: A Quirky FREE App-Awesome Crayon!

Well, health is still proving elusive this week. It’s all about finding those comfort apps when comfort food isn’t an option. Today’s app is Awesome Crayon. That’s right. We’re back to coloring with crayons now. Awesome Crayon offers four different backgrounds and a wide spectrum of colors. Seriously, there are 132 different colors to choose from. I counted all of them myself. Well, with the help of basic math.


Awesome Crayon also allows you to adjust the width of your brush strokes. It doesn’t change the texture of the strokes though. Texture? Yes, the app uses a brush stroke that has the texture of crayon on paper. The only thing I’m missing is the scent of wax scraping off the crayon and onto the paper.

Once you’ve selected your paper and your color, just tap the button marked “Play.” If you like what you’ve made, you can save it to the in-app gallery. Your picture will be tacked onto a wood backdrop. It’s like hanging it up on the refrigerator, only better. I think. I honestly don’t know how to rank the levels of childhood artwork. If it’s good enough to save to your phone, then it must be pretty darn good.

This app is FREE!!  Download here
