Reviews for Clip Studio Paint

This app is so slay you can draw pretty much anything :D This is a drawing app. you do kinda need a subscription to draw for longer periods of time, but honestly, it barely makes a difference because it barely changes anything; they let you doodle, too, so you can still draw, it just doesn't save your work on the app. You're able to buy different tools for on the app and different brushes, but honestly, I don't really even ever use those I just... Draw...

On PC, I'm still a loyal customer; however, this app just isn't it. This is one of the only art apps I've used on my Galaxy Note8 that doesn't detect pen pressure (despite having the option to adjust pen sensitivity), which is a big no-no for me. Paired with the "switch to eraser" option that I can't seem to change to a vector eraser, as well as the unoptimized layout (why's there no tool change button?), this app isn't worth more than the free apps available.

I have bought the one time purchase a few years ago on my laptop, I use it to this day and wanted to try it for the Android since I can draw on it. You have to pay a monthly fee and not a one time thanks to greedy developers. I can't even use the same account or activation key to use this app without giving them more money. I'll look for a drawing app somewhere else.

They make you set up your PC account using this app, then make you switch your device on PC. You only get a limited number of times to switch devices for each account and this waste one of them, not to mention being a waste of time. If I had to guess it's to increase the amounts of downloads on mobile to look like more people are using it. If I have to waste my time to increase their download stats them I'm evening that out with my rating.

Okay so, the drawing is super smooth and easy to do. The brushes are super neat and they have a lot of different options for canvases such as Webtoon and Animation. However, I won't be returning to this app because: it's kinda laggy; the canvas screen is really sensitive so its hard to turn without drawing; it makes Ibis Paint X laggy and break, and you only get 1 free hour a day of drawing and I'm poor. This is an awesome app though, and if I could I would purchase it on a different device.

It's a bit of a problem when the mobile marketplace is flooded with already useful drawing apps. Autodesk, Medibang, Ibis paint, etc. All of these are free to use, and have a single payment. Not to say you should make this free. No need. I have a problem with the subscription. I've already purchased the pc version. Why not make it apart of a bundle or something?

So, two huge problems. Crashing and the ability to only draw one hour a day. The features are good and the comic system is the best I have found, but you have to pay a subscription to draw for more than an hour a day, and I crashed twice after I downloaded it. Rebooting did nothing to fix it either. Basically, unless you pay money and ignore the crashing, it's just a waste of time.

Great on PC, phone is difficult. I've been using it on my laptop for I think close to a year, and it's absolutely incredible. I almost never use any other software, on PC or on my phone. That being said, I can't even get to the login screen on my phone without being faced with a a gray screen and my phone notifying me that it's not respond. I've tried multiple times, on multiple different occasions, with the same results. Still absolutely phenomenal on PC, though.

I got this software as a bundle and have been using it for five years. Love it on the laptop, not a huge fan with a drawing tablet, and hate the way it works on the phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, which comes with a stylus. After some trial and error, I upgraded my subscription to access different drawing settings, but turns out I paid $2 more for the exact same thing. Don't know why the pen pressure is only usable during the trial period and completely inaccessible when paid.

It's more intuitive than most other art apps I've used, but there's an okay variety of tutorial and tip videos out there (official AND otherwise), so I don't mind. There are also SO. MANY. BRUSHES. However! Ever since New Year's, whenever I'd go to open the app on my smartphone, it would just crash, with no explanation. It can't be a storage issue, so...what's going on?

I have been using clip studio for a few years and was excited due to the amount of brush options and how accessible it was. But after getting an art tablet that wasn't connected to my computer where I had originally bought the license, I now have to pay monthly which would be no issue if it actually worked properly. I only use one device, yet it tells me I have to deactivate and reactivate the license. After today it tells me it hit the max amount of times it can be deactivated. Done fighting.

It says "3 months free" which is total bs. After downloading the app it says "Sign up for 3 months free". I signed up and then it tells me to use it without a time limit you need to buy it. This app is complicated to use and I wanted to try and see if I can even learn it before buying it. Then after reading other comments about needing to buy it across all devices instead of it being connected to your account, it being more expensive on certain things, etc. I'm just going to find something else

So I love CSP, I do, on the PC. But my PC no longer works now and I thought I could just move everything to a tablet and continue. NOPE. I'm not paying monthly for a program I already have. It's not a viable option for me and and honestly, there's f2u drawing apps out there that support the file format I need. The mobile version is pretty much useless and will eventually get more expensive than EX at full price.

I will not subscribe when pricing is not consistent. I almost paid for an extra 3 months because I picked the wrong store. Bring back perpetual offline licenses. Theres different subscription prices for every store this is listed on, apple, google and samsung, different between devices in the same store, and you cant use the free limited version on a tablet to try it out. I love clip studio, but not enough to navigate this when its a one time fee on a computer with no subscription.

I decided to download it, because I saw an intruiging ad, and I opened it up, went to launch it, and it said I only get an hour of free usage every day. This is ridiculous. I already have a fantastic app (Ibis Paint X) that is completely free, and very useful, so when I saw this, I thought it was obsurd. I am very disappointed. The ad did not mention the need to pay. Very dissatisfied.

I've never experienced a brush engine so smooth and buttery in my LIFE. I had been struggling with ibisPaint X's simplistic one for 5 years, but once I decided to take a shot at Clip Studio Paint, it was over for me. I bought the subscription (only $3.99/mo for me, which I'm fine with!) and never looked back. My art has leveled up and I am so incredibly pleased! Clip Studio is so worth it!!

It constantly crashes despite being a subscription based app. Half the time it doesn't even let me import pngs, the other half of the time it's a gamble of either actually working, or saying that it no longer supports png files in a "unsupported file format" message. It'll crash in the middle of drawing, so if you dont hit save every 20 seconds you might just loose all your progress. I'm currently looking for another drawing app that works on my tablet so I can switch from this one. Horrid app.

love this for art, havent purchased a subscription but i feel like the 30 hours a month is reasonable. great brush variation, texture selection, etc. HOWEVER, i spent 15 minutes looking for a way to import images off my phone or some form of reference window, with no luck. not a horrible drawback, but i have a hard time imagining images, so references are usually a necessity for me. granted, i might have missed it, but regardless it is almost unusable for me. great app if youre okay with that.

ok, so, the app is really great, with a good variety of brushes etc etc.. but the main reason I downloaded it is because I keep seeing that you can use 3D models and adjust the position manually, but... that's kind of not the thing :/ You have to use the positions they give you, and you also can only adjust the gender and camera view. Im genuinely looking for a way to adjust the body shape and position, like the ad said... :/

It's an awesome app! I think 30 hours a month for free is reasonable. It's pretty easy to use, great brush variation too. There are no ads, either! Since I have used this app, I have not used Ibis Paint X is a while. I love both apps, don't get me wrong, but I absolutely LOVE Clip Studio. You can download a lot of brush sets, too. Also to import an image you hold the button that you use to add a layer. Overall, I LOVE this app! I very much recommend this app to people. Good experience on my end!
