Gesdro
Terms of Use
Effective: August 29, 2026 / Last updated: September 21, 2026
These terms set out the conditions for using Gesdro (the "App"), provided by esaka (an individual developer, the "Developer"). By using the App, you agree to these terms. This page is an English translation of the Japanese terms; if the two differ, the Japanese version prevails to the extent permitted by law.
1. About the App
The App is an iPad-only app for gesture drawing (short drawing exercises that capture the movement of a figure). Drawing requires an Apple Pencil; you cannot draw with a finger.
The App is free to download and use. It is funded by advertising and by a one-time in-app purchase, "Remove ads" (section 7).
2. Intellectual property and the included references
Rights in the App's software, screen design, icon, and similar elements belong to the Developer.
The pose images bundled with the App (the "Bundled Images") are CG (rendered 3D models) made by the Developer using assets (body meshes, clothes, hair, and the like) published by the MakeHuman community under CC0 (CC0 1.0 Universal). The Bundled Images also include the renders of the same poses as a simplified artist's skeleton made by the Developer (the "Skeleton" view of a reference). The source and license of the underlying assets are credited in the App under Gallery › Credits. The underlying MakeHuman assets themselves are CC0, and nothing in these terms restricts your use of them.
Copyright in the Bundled Images themselves belongs to the Developer. What is published under CC0 is the underlying assets; the Bundled Images are not CC0. They are included so that you can use them as drawing references inside the App, and you are free to use them for that purpose. You may not, however:
- extract the Bundled Images from the App and redistribute them, whether for a fee or for free
- repost or publish the Bundled Images as a reference pack, pose collection, or similar compilation
- distribute the Bundled Images as a training dataset for machine learning or similar purposes, or distribute them as part of such a dataset
The drawings you make in the App belong to you. That includes drawings made from the bundled poses: you may publish or sell them freely, and no credit is required. The limits on the Bundled Images above do not apply to your own drawings. The Developer does not use your drawings.
You are welcome to post screenshots or videos of your practice on social media, blogs and the like, even when a Bundled Image appears on screen next to your drawing. Collecting the Bundled Images themselves and publishing them in a way that stands in for a reference pack is still not allowed, as set out above.
3. Your practice data
Your sketches and practice records are stored only on your device. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Deleting the App deletes this data. Export any sketches you want to keep beforehand.
4. Prohibited conduct
- Copying, modifying, decompiling, or disassembling the App
- Redistributing or reposting the Bundled Images, or distributing them as a training dataset, contrary to section 2
- Circumventing the in-app purchase or the advertising mechanisms by improper means
- Acts that violate laws or public order and morals
- Interfering with the operation of the App
5. Disclaimer
The Developer does not warrant that the App will fit your particular purpose, produce the results you expect, or be free of defects.
The Developer is not liable for damage arising from use of the App, except in cases of the Developer's willful misconduct or gross negligence.
The Developer is not responsible for the content of ads shown in the App. Please direct questions about an ad to the advertiser or the ad network.
Nothing in this section limits the rights you have under the consumer protection laws of the country or region where you live.
6. Changes to and discontinuation of the App
The Developer may change the App or stop providing it without prior notice. If the App is to be discontinued, the Developer will try, where reasonably possible, to give notice in advance on this page or in the App.
7. In-app purchase: "Remove ads"
The App offers a single non-consumable, one-time in-app purchase, "Remove ads". It is not a subscription; one purchase keeps working.
- What you get: ads are no longer shown in the App (neither the long ad nor the short ad described in section 8), and you can start practicing even when your device is offline. The purchase does not add any practice feature or angle
- Price: the amount shown at the time of purchase in the App's Settings screen and on the App Store purchase confirmation. Prices may differ by country or region and may change over time
- Payment: payment is processed by Apple through the App Store, and Apple's terms (the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions) apply. The Developer never receives your payment information
- Restoring your purchase: after a reinstall or on a new device, sign in with the same Apple Account you bought with and tap Settings › Restore Purchases in the App. You will not be charged again
- Family Sharing: this purchase may be eligible for Apple's Family Sharing. Whether it is, and how and on what conditions it is shared, depends on Apple's system and your settings
- Refunds: refunds are handled and decided by Apple. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. The Developer cannot issue refunds directly. If a purchase is refunded or revoked, its benefit (no ads) ends and ads are shown again
Nothing in this section limits the rights you have under the laws of the country or region where you live, such as rights of withdrawal or refund.
The practice features (duration, count, practice patterns, history) and all angles (the basic angles — front, three-quarter, side, back — and the special angles — high, low, and foreshortened views) are free to use, whether or not you buy anything or watch any ad. Features that are free today will not be made paid later.
8. Ads
The App shows ads through Google AdMob. There are two kinds of ad:
- Long ad (rewarded ad, optional): a video ad that you choose to watch yourself. If you watch it to the end, then for the rest of that day (until the date changes on your device) the short ad before practice is no longer shown. That is the only thing watching a long ad gives you
- Short ad (interstitial ad): a full-screen ad shown once at the start of each practice session, if you have not watched a long ad to the end that day. However many poses you draw in one session, it is shown only that one time at the start. It is never shown during a session or on the results screen
If you have bought "Remove ads" (section 7), neither kind of ad is shown. No practice feature or angle is restricted by whether you watch ads or make a purchase.
If you close the long ad early, or no ad could be shown, nothing changes and the short ad continues to be shown. Ads may be unavailable depending on your connection, ad inventory, or your advertising consent status (for users in the UK and other regions where consent is required), and the Developer does not guarantee that a long ad can be watched, or its effect obtained, at all times. The effect of a long ad applies only to the device on which you watched it. When your device is online but a short ad could not be loaded, or when advertising consent has not been given, the session starts without an ad. When your device is offline, you cannot start a session unless you have bought “Remove Ads” or watched a long ad to the end that day.
9. Changes to these terms
The Developer may revise these terms when necessary. Revisions are posted on this page with the date.
- September 21, 2026: bundled references changed to CG made by the Developer, and limits on redistributing the Bundled Images stated (sections 2 and 4). Added the "Remove ads" in-app purchase (section 7) and the kinds of ad (section 8). English version published
- August 29, 2026: first published
10. Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms are governed by the laws of Japan. Any dispute concerning the App is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction, in the first instance, of the court having jurisdiction over the Developer's place of residence. If you are a consumer, however, this does not deprive you of the protection given by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country or region where you live, including any right to bring proceedings before the courts of that country.
