How a day works
One word a day, the same word for everyone. You draw it. A vision model looks at what you made and says what it thinks it is. You get three tries.
If it gets your drawing, you get a card. If it doesn't get it in three, you get a Mystery card instead, which is not nothing. Every card keeps what the machine thought it was seeing on the way, and every miss can be shared as a blooper, stamped.
The machine is small and cheap on purpose. It's forgiving about skill and strict about meaning: it grades what you meant, not how well you drew it. It also gets things wrong. Arguing with it is half the game.
The tiers
| Card | When you get it |
|---|---|
| Gold | Recognised on the first try. |
| Silver | Second try. |
| Bronze | Third try. |
| Diamond | First try and shiny. The rare top tier. |
| Mystery | Three tries and it never got it. The consolation card. |
Shiny is the upgrade underneath, not a tier of its own. About one in five correct sketches earn it for an extra-creative take, and it can land on any tier. When it lands on a first try, the card is called Diamond.
Questions
The AI got it wrong. I'm sure it was a cheetah.
It probably was. The model is a small, fast one, and it misses. Try again with the thing it got confused by fixed. Spots, speed lines, a second thing next to the first thing for scale. You have three tries, and the card keeps every guess, so the argument is on the record.
If it saw something genuinely funny, share the blooper. Those travel further than the wins.
What does "free to try" actually mean?
The app is free to download on both stores. You get one graded submit on your first day, so you can see what the machine thinks of you before deciding. After that, $0.99 unlocks submitting for good. It's a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
I paid, but it's asking me to unlock again.
Purchases are tied to your App Store or Google Play account, not to the app install. Open Settings from the gear on the home screen and restore purchases, signed into the same store account you bought with. If it still won't take, email me with which store you bought on and roughly when, and I'll sort it.
What are the word packs?
Three optional packs, $0.99 each, on top of the unlock: fantasy, sci-fi and supers. Each is its own list of words in that world, and cards from a pack say which pack they came from. Nine-tailed fox was a Fantasy day. Rover and Death Ray were Sci-fi. Time Bomb was Supers. You don't need any of them for the daily word.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-in, no account, no feed, no followers. The only things that leave your phone are the drawing you submit, for the guess, and anonymous usage counts. The privacy policy has the specifics.
I got a new phone. Where's my sketchbook?
iPhone: your sketchbook syncs through your own iCloud. Sign into the same Apple account and it comes back on its own.
Android: your sketchbook is stored on the phone itself. There's no cloud sync from me on Android. Your unlock and any packs come back through Google Play with your Google account.
It says "no attempts left." Now what?
That's a Mystery card. Three tries, never recognised. It shows all three guesses on the back, and it's often the better story. Tomorrow is a new word.
Is my drawing used to train the AI?
No. The drawing goes to Google's Gemini API to be judged and isn't stored by Google or used for training. Nothing about you rides along with it, because the app doesn't know anything about you.
Can I draw with an Apple Pencil?
Yes. izzit runs on iPad, and the canvas takes a Pencil. A finger works fine too; the game rewards what you meant, not a steady hand.
How do I get a refund?
Refunds go through the store you bought on, not through me. On iPhone, use Apple's flow at reportaproblem.apple.com. On Android, use Google Play's order history. If you're stuck, email me and I'll point you at the right page.
