Ratings and reviews

Art flow please fix this bug everytime I'm working on my art project it will suddenly close and delete all my progress I really love this app and I have used it for so long but it's getting really irritating when I work so hard on my art and then it will just up and delete everything This either happens because I'm doing backgrounds or adding another layer Please please fix this :,(

This has been my go to sketching app for a few years now. The paid version is cheap, works like a charm and is nice and lean with a few minor quirks. It's easy and fast to import and export as psd to send to a more robust program for retirement. The biggest drawback: no folders, and no selecting multiple layers at the same time. I could get so much more done before exporting. If they add that in the future, i'll gladly change to a five star rating!

Its snappy, has good customization of shortcuts and works well. Does all the basics and does it great. Only thing is that its wiped my gallery/ corrupted all my pieces a few times from clicking on the backup/restore gallery, so be sure to always export your art and be careful with that button. It also doesnt have a ton of features.
