Reviews for Sketchbook

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 glitch which has plagued me on past devices as well, I would have given AT LEAST 4/5 stars. EDIT: After considering that the app is free, I've decided to add another star. Was 2/5

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 idk what making and editing brushes is really like, but I really like this app, and the pro is definitely worth the couple bucks.

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. my phone has plenty of space, I've deleted and redownloaded it, so I dont know what my problem may be. If any staff have any responses it would be appreciated and I could continue to use this app. but as is, it is unusable to me.

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 free brushes or color palettes. What it comes with is what you're stuck with. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it can be limiting. Overall, I would clearly recommend this app for those on Android.

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 use are readily available. Having to eye drop colors or save my colors on the artboard itself can be bothersome as I don't always copy the exact color I need. Or even add an option to use color codes. Overall great app!

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 the file in your gallery, but when you delete the file from the gallery, you can't edit the drawing anymore. other than those things, it's a great app for beginners.

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 not been saving the gallery. I can create a drawing, go back to that drawing here and there, but if I create a new drawing, I'm not allowed to edit my past works? This just started a while ago.

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 canvas they were originally created. I really hope they can add this soon since it is a relatively simple change that would add alot to the functionality of groups.

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 the hang of it. However, I do have a problem with the way that it saves a blank file before the art it just takes space on your phone. There are also no ads, just peaceful drawing! ✏️

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 whenever I delete them, I can't edit the drawing anymore, so if you fixed that, it would be greatly appreciated.
