Dinsun Review
Drawing on a glass screen has never felt quite right to me, and Pictionary Pro doesn't do much to solve that inherent problem. Unless you're using an Apple Pencil, most 'drawings' are just illegible blobs. The game is fine, but it suffers from the same issues every online drawing game has: trolls who draw inappropriate things and people who just write the word out instead of drawing it.
The 'Pro' features are mostly just padding—meaningless ranks and slightly more colors to choose from. It’s a decent enough implementation of the rules, but playing this with strangers is a far cry from the hilarious chaos of playing the physical game with friends in a living room. It’s a sterile, often frustrating experience that feels more like a social experiment than a game. I’ll stick to my paper and markers.
