Ratings and reviews

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'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!

Overall, a good app. I have quite a few complaints and that is why I didn't even give this app 3 stars: it's a very slow app and when I wanted to move to a different angle, it kept freezing. It's hard to layer things properly and I am going to get another app. For me, it was just glitchy, confusing and generally, not very engaging to art. Sorry. PLEASE FIX THE GLITCHES. thank you, but make things easier to find.
