Ratings and reviews

I've been using this app for a few years now to do art, and honestly- I've dropped Photoshop since it can use PSD files. I have the premium version (cheap one time purchase btw) but even as a free user, it was simple to use! Anything I would need PS to do I can just pop into a free similar program, and use Sketchbook as my main focus. I'm still learning tips and tricks, and am loving the brushes you can add as well. I've grown as an artist in that time, and it's definitely my go to now!

Every artist needs this incredible design software. The features and options that are available are parallel to none especially in the free space of art and rendering apps. It comes standard with a suite of pens, pencils, airbrushes, and erasers; and that is not even a percent of the total options and capabilities this app has to offer. I have purchased apps before, only to learn they pale in comparison to Sketchbook. My go to and a must have for any and all aspiring and seasoned artists.

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 photos so that when I transfer devices, I lose everything that was on the old device. I wish there was a sign in option of sorts.
