Ratings and reviews

Edit: It's impossible to create anything detailed without a stylus that's capacitive, active, or Bluetooth, as phone screens are capacitive. I'm an Electrical Engineer and I HIGHLY recommend adding a smoothing tool for shaky lines. Another useful feature would be to add selectable shapes and line styes with a "Snap To" feature, as with Visio. Finger drawing, can be enabled in Settings, but it seems as though you can only make very crude drawings without a smoothing feature. Great idea though!

It's pre-installed and pretty easy to use, but I dislike the fact that using more than 2 layers requires a samsung account, and layer management is clunky and unintuitive. The ability to export layered images as PNGs is very nice. The default tools are pretty decent and even have a lot of brush controls.

22GB!!!! I was really enjoying the app lately. I used it in the past but picked it up again recently and have been coloring a good bit. Then it began to freeze on me. Then it crashed with a notice saying, "Not enough storage." I then realized this app was taking up 22gb. I cleared the cache and data, and it went back to low mb numbers. I only had maybe 10 pages colored, I guess that was too much. If I keep using it, I guess I'll just save my pages and clear the data after a few.
