This is a beta release of Krita and is not suitable for real work yet. Since the interface is currently optimized for big screen devices (tablets and chromebooks) we are not making it available for phones yet.

Krita is created by the Krita Foundation and Halla Rempt Software. The Krita project is part of the KDE community.

Ratings and reviews

I tell you wHat. This port is the bees knees. However, I cant help but notice some effort has been put into the S-pen. I understand it's a little silly to ask considering this app isn't exactly inteeended for phones. HOWEVER, I see a good portion of people here seem to want to utilize this on their phones rather than tablets. Couple suggestions, 1st: Volume Key, hotkey input. 2nd: Possibly emulate a rightclick, using s-pen button. 3rd? Gesture for navigation would then make it PERFECT. ty

Not usable on mobile yet. The app windows flow over the edge in both portrait and landscape mode. When trying to create a new file, for instance, you can set the image size but you can't confirm your selections because the button to do so is inaccessible in any orientation. Zooming out is not possible.

If you have a compatible device, a tablet with a pen preferably, this is just about the best deal for an art program out there. Fully featured raster and vector layers, scripts, and full stylus support. All this at the cost of free, because of the dedicated Open Source community. The app is still in development, but the only issue I've had was creating a new file from the splash screen, doesn't update the window.
