This has become my favorite way to doodle and sketch on my phone! Edit: Bringing it down a star because it's been having a lot of issues with suddenly crashing or going black-screened when I try to start a new canvas via importing a picture for some odd and frustrating reason? (And I think it's also done it a couple of times when trying to open it in general??) I think it started after the most recent update, so I'll change my rating back when it's fixed/stops doing this.
Reviews for ibis Paint
← Back to ibis PaintHi! I love this app very much, and use it for all my art projects- in fact, I would love to take it to another level! I was wondering if it'd be possible to add more functions to the app involving animation, so that we could make all art entirely on Ibis. I've used the original app for four years, and last year I finally got the full version! I hope you consider adding animation functions, I think it could be a massive boost for the app! I wish you all a lovely 2021, thank you for this app :D
Honestly I really love this app!! Out of all the other drawing apps, this one is the easiest to use. I adore all of the little functions that come with it, (My favorite being the reference window)! My only problem with it is that it still promotes a subscription after purchasing, leaving a lot of the materials unavailable unless you pay. Despite this, the app is more than usable if you don't get the premium subscription and I still recommend that any digital artists out there check it out!
When I first got this, I had an amazing time using it, it was a tool that allowed me to start digital art in a space that worked well. As I've used it, I've had several art peices crash do to errors, the entire app crash when I miss click the bucket tool, and a very laggy and buggy app. I don't know what happened, or why this app has such a hard time handling some things, but I can't use it, and that makes me terribly sad, beco I love this app. If it gets fixed, I'll use it, but I just can't
Coming from ibis Paint X (the free version) and there's no easy way to import all of your gallery from the old app to this one. I don't want to get rid of my old work, but also don't want to keep both apps on my phone. Wish they would make an easy way to export/import between the two apps, considering they're literally the same minus the ads.
One of the best purchases i have made to date, i love creating with it, and I'm very hesitant towards buying apps. For anybody who is interested, passionate and/or serious about developing their digital artistic abilities, it's so easy to use and easy to get lost in your own portable desk! And S-pen / Apple pen compatible!! 15/10 would highly suggest to anybody 😊
Better to use the free version. The app is good and all, but paying for it is pointless. It removes the ads, sure. But it doesn't give you any more features other than that. Using the free version just has ads, and you can easily avoid that by turning off your internet. It's a waste of money to buy the "full" version as opposed to the free one. Good app, just take the free version.
Best drawing app on Play store!! You don't know how many apps I've gone through trying to find one to do what I needed. Many had me yanking my hair out out of frustration and anger. Many apps have similar features which fall short. Most fail to use the layers properly or effectively. I've used some where you could only move the layer down... seriously, it was a headache. Also I'm using a drawing tablet hooked up to a Chromebook whichs works great. It's like drawing on real paper. 10/10!!
I've been using Ibis paint x for over a year now, and decided to finally buy the app since I loved the free version so much. Upon trying to draw, the delay between strokes and seeing it appear on the canvas takes from 2-3 seconds. The app literally freezes when I put my stylus down to draw. I've never had any problems with the free version, and yet the paid version appears to be broken. I even installed it onto another phone, same thing. This is upsetting since I genuinely love this app a lot.
I've been using this app quite a bit. I wasn't happy about the subscription based premium service but found I can live without it anyway. It's quick on my note 10 and I like the desktop level of brush control. But one REALLY annoying thing is that when using a stylus your finger still acts as a brush too. This makes it far too easy to leave marks when zooming that you dont find till far too late. Most programs disable finger touches for painting when using a stylus. This needs to be fixed.
The only app for art I have used on mobile successfully, and I'm impressed beyond belief. The touch controls are intuitive and responsive, there's a cloud for saves, and even in the free version (IbisPaint X), there's a way to get the paid brushes for free, and they stick around for a while. Worth every penny, especially if you do art on the go. Word of advice though, get yourself a nice stylus or something. (And if you get the electronic one that connects to android, it has built in support!)
It's super cool, but the animation options are a bit limited. I paid for this app and I'd like to not have to pay AGAIN to access features of it. Additionally, I really wish you could import and export gifs. I'd be interested in a standalone animation app with features more tailored to animation and the ability to add sound, but only if it isn't locked behind a stupid subscription. Additionally, sometimes when using specific brushes and trying to erase, everything freezes?
Ibis Paint is a great tool for drawing and artwork in general, I love all the brushes and everything is simple to use. But, I can only give 3 stars because despite all the brushes and tools, ibis Paint is still a little basic. It certainly isn't for professional artists, it's more for beginners. Plus, I find it a little ridiculous to have to pay for the app and still not get all the features? ibis Paint isn't worth paying a membership for, at least not until they step it up a bit. Overall, 8/10
I thought this would be all of the premium features from the first version, like it describes in the photos, but it only give me no ads, all brushes and no watermark on animations, I was thinking of free canvas materials, and the rest of the premium features. I'm pretty mad tbh because I really only got this for my birthday and if I'm being honest it wasn't worth it. I don't want to pay premium on here when I could've just some it on the free version. But I still love ibispaint,since I was 9 🫶
It's good, I've been using Ibispaint for years and even had a subscription for a time till getting the paid version. My only complaint about the app is being able to select certain artworks (more than 1) and share them with PS, CSP, or other art programs all at once. It'll make life easier to do and not too much of a hassle to share 1 artwork to CSP cloud, wait, share, wait, and so on. If this were a feature, I'll use it more.
It's great! However, this may just be me but I would expect everything else to be unlocked after I payed 8 dollar (+tax). As far as I know, you only unlock the brushes and that's it. For 8 dollars? Eh, probably not worth it I should have just stuck with the Ibispaint X and get the brushes for free just by watching an ad. Why spend 8 dollars on something that I can literally get for free?
Both Ibis Paint and Ibis Paint X are top notch art apps for mobile devices. I have nothing but appreciation for the existence of this app. This is an ad-free version, so you get more screen space due to the lack of an ad banner and can use all the brushes without watching ads, which is a huge bonus. But it is 10 times better with premium. If you want to see the full potential of this app, even the X version is great with the subscription! There's no other mobile art app that can compete!
the app is amazing and the brushes are cool and useful! the only reason i didn't rate it five stars is the animation feature needs a little work. as far as i know, you can't import sound! also the animation you make doesn't really look that well once you import it on a different app. overall is rate it a good four stars.
I've been using Ibis Paint for 6 years and it has been *perfect* for me. It's versatile but easy to use, and with it I have created amazing drawings. The fact that it's on mobile is incredible—back when I was looking for a good digital art app, I was not expecting to find the best one here. But I love it. I don't have a single gripe with it.
this is a very good starter app, and I very much appreciate their free version, ibispaintx. if you're a beginner artist I recommend this app, it has served me well. Though, if you're looking for something higher-end and professional, ibis paint does has its limits to the tools and tech it. provides. Also, despite this being the paid version, there is still functions locked behind an additional monthly membership program. It's not a lot of stuff, but something to keep in mind.
