User Experience
First off, you’ll have to learn the few basics of the app. You can change the color of your pencil with the color box at the top of the screen, just to the left of the “Export” button. There are tons of colors you can use. Along the top is also the Sketch/Erase options, undo, your choice of background colors and paper types, discard, and the Export button, as mentioned. This button allows you to save your sketch or send it by email.
To draw a thick line, go slowly. To draw a thin line, go quickly.
If you want to hide or show the toolbar, tap the screen.

Personal Comments by Reviewer
I think this is a decent enough sketching app. I wish you could change the thickness of the line manually, but other than that I have no complaints. It might be nice to be able to share directly to Facebook, as well.
