Ratings and reviews

I love this app! I have been using it ever since I got a Samsung two years ago. So easy to use, with a straightforward layout. There's no ads either and it's free! One thing that took a star away for me was the 15 max layers feature. Other apps are more confusing to use, but grant access to over 100 layers, even unlimited layers. I would also love if the speedpaint feature was embedded into the drafts, so I didn't have to record everything in one go. Other than that, great app.

I love this app. Just started my attempt to learn to draw in May and am getting better because of this. So many downloadable brushes/ pens/ pencils/ stamps/ patterns. My 2 requests would be to have the full range 1-10 of H, B and F leads for pencils but I can definitely make do with the ones available. Second would be to have more pressure sensitivity. There is some but it's a little hard to do ombre effects. I'm not gonna complain about it, though, because the app is great.

this is the perfect art app. anything you can imagine can be done on this platform. it is the best of its kind. My only issue is that I can no longer access assisted line and shape drawing. When following the pen app tutorials, the video shows options i dont have. It used to work and one day it just stopped. not sure if it's related to the updates.
