Simple drawing app for kids (Android)
The call
Don't pursue this. Zero Google search demand combined with a dominant incumbent (1.7M ratings at 4.74★) means you'll burn cash acquiring users in a crowded, commoditized category with no defensible wedge.
Is the demand real?
107 discussions across platforms sounds significant, but actual user demand posts about drawing apps are sparse, old (2013-2017), and show 10-38 upvotes. Zero Google search demand is the critical red flag. The App Store leader 'Color by Number: Coloring Games' owns 1.7M ratings at 4.74★, signaling a dominated market. Growth trend is +62% annually, but only ~6 monthly Wikipedia views suggests visibility is noise.
