Frequently asked questions
I tapped "Send to maskingtape" but nothing was imported
- Check that maskingtape is version 8.0 or later. You can update it from the App Store.
- If maskingtape is not installed, install it first. Your design stays on your device, so you can import it afterwards.
It says importing designs is a paid option
Bringing in designs made in other apps is a monthly paid option (an auto-renewing subscription). You can subscribe from "My Designs" inside maskingtape. The designs and colours that ship with the app are free to use without subscribing.
How do I cancel?
Cancelling is done on Apple's screen. Open the iOS Settings app, tap your name at the top, then "Subscriptions", and choose the subscription there. You can reach the same screen from inside the app: in maskingtape, go to "My Designs", tap the manage icon, then "Manage Subscription".
I got a new device. Can I keep my subscription?
Yes, as long as you are signed in with the same Apple Account. Tap "Restore Purchases" on the subscription screen.
If I cancel, do I lose the designs I imported?
No. Designs you have already imported stay yours and keep working. Only importing new ones stops.
Where are my photos and designs stored?
Everything is handled entirely on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere. See the privacy policy for details.
The letters don't come out the way I expected
Pawstroke is built to write a little differently every time. Tap a letter you don't like and only that one is written again. "Write it again" redoes the whole thing; "surprise me" changes the handwriting itself.
Requirements
- iOS 18.2 or later
- Sending designs across requires maskingtape 8.0 or later
