Although generally a good art app, it has one fatal flaw: Often times when opening the app, whatever you were last working on will be deleted and replaced with the drawing or painting before it in your gallery. This has caused no small amount of frustration and distress. If it had not been for this […]

I’ve used this app since I was about 13 (23 now) and it’s really intuitive for me, and the pro version isn’t some subscription! It’s a one time purchase, has been since I got it when I was 13. The desktop one is a one time $20 too. I’m not the most tech savvy, so […]

this app is one that I’ve spent countless hours on, the only one I can find on the appstore that I can actually use as it has the best tools and gadgets so I can make money easily from this art. However suddenly everytime I close my page to go to the gallery it crashes. […]

Actually 3.5. The app is great. There are a bunch of brushes, markers, and pencils to choose from. I’ve yet to be limited in layers. RGB and HSL are available for colors. You can create up to 50 color pallettes. You can be as detailed as you want. Downside: You cannot import any of their […]

Love this app. I’ve been able to improve my digital illustration skills. Lots of brush options. I do wish there was a way to favorite brushes as I’m usually using more than 2 at a time. I also wish there was a place to save my current color palette so all of the colors I […]

it’s great, there’s literally no ads at all, which is amazing. however, there is a glitch where if you’re coloring, it will randomly start trying to layer each brush stroke. it doesn’t happen often, but whenever it does happen, it’s always on an important artwork. oh, and when you save an artwork, it’ll also save […]

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this app is honestly awesome. For one, it’s free, and two, there are so many things to choose from! There are no restrictions on layers or tools, like many apps have. Not to mention how you can organize your gallery. The only thing is that recently my device has […]

A brilliant art application, especially on Android, I use it almost every single day. Works excellently on my phone and tablet. HOWEVER, layers can only be grouped in the premium version of the app. Even though it is a paid feature, the groups can’t be copied from one canvas to another, only duplicated within the […]

I do truly love this app, and I think it’s very good for artists. I do wish it had an animation setting like Ibis Paint X. This app also does not get blocked by Bark. I love all the different settings, and I think it works well and is easy to use once you get […]

I really like this app bc a lot of other drawing apps are really confusing to me, but this one is easy to use. It’s really good for edits and just random drawings. My only issue is that whenever I save a drawing, there are two blank images next to it in the gallery, and […]

Works well as an art app, but Gallery UI is terrible. (as far as I have found) You can only organize into basic albums – so only a single layer of organization. I have a few thing I want to organize into certain albums, but some of them aren’t highlighting to be moved (so can’t […]

good app. better than most built in editing software on mobile devices. but my god is it confusing to use. especially the drawing aspect of the app. once you fumble your way around into creating a sketch where you can draw over a photograph, you’re left alone to figure out the absolute nightmare of a […]

I used this app a few years ago. It was the first drawing app I used, actually! At first it was great. Easy to use for beginners and organized, but one day my gallery developed a weird bug. If I tried to edit or even scroll past a certain artwork in my gallery, the app […]

This is a great app for art, I highly recommend. The UI is amazing, very user friendly and intuitive for the most part. Also has pressure sensitivity for those with phones that come with pens. They keep adding great new tools as well, but only for premium owners. Its a one-time only purchase, and I […]

It has good tools but its sketch selection is awful. It stores sketches outside the app. When I start a new sketch and then need ro come back to a previous one, it is almost impossible to find. The number of times I’ve cried thinking I lost a two-week-in-progress sketch … Fix it please, create […]

PLEASE PEOPLE BE SLEEPING ON THIS (especially since it’s free) the amount of freedom and how simple it is to work with if you just explore a little with things is insane. if there was an animation software for free I would definitely try it out. The things I adore: -the versatility when editing what […]

I used this app for years. I’ve done all of my artwork on this app and have them saved in a folder on my phone. Recently I had to delete the app for a bit, not even for a week. When I reinstalled it and opened the app, after attempting to choose the artwork folder, […]

this has become my primary drawing app over the last few years, and the frequent updates make it even better. got the premium version as soon as it was added, since the price was super worth it. there are little things I’d love added or fixed, like the nudge transform arrows centering on the picture, […]

Interface is great, easy to use and does what you want for the most part. my issue is if you dont open a drawing for a long enough period of time, then next time you try to open it youll get a TIFF error saying its unable to locate the drawing and you cant open […]

I LOVE this sketching app, I’ve been using it for the last 8 years. I have tried numerous drawing apps, and this is the best one I have used. I would recommend this app to any technology Drawing peoples. However, my only complaint is I can’t save my art to the app as well as […]
