Ratings and reviews

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.

So I have used the app for years, it has crashed and when I tried opening a drawing that was my best one, it crashed and deleted everything. Besides that, I do love the fact that there are many amazing and useful brushes and cool features. But it may not have a animation feature like @ibispaint_X, or many others that I can't name. But I 50% recommend the app!

Great app, but text bordering and shadowing should definitely be added, and in a similar sense adding a few more fonts would be an enormous time saver. Furthermore, inage warping would be a key feature, it's sad that even with premium you just can't have it, but the file layout is my favorite by far, so it shall remain the one I use.
