I've been using this app for years, I have had a few annoying bugs. I now have a bug that crashes the entire app when I go to look at layers. I have tried closing the app and restarting my phone but nothing is working. I have so may art pieces on there as well as commissions. Update. I uninstalled and re-installed the app and lost all my art work. I tried getting the files back but nothing worked. Luckily my phone saved most of the artwork but not how I left them. Not saving all the progress.

Sketchbook has been there for me when no one else wasn't lol. I live for the time lapse. I would say it is in fact the only reason I do use this app. But I've found that when I'm in the middle of my record..sometimes I have to stop and pick up where I left off because of life distractions..or someitnes my phone just dies. When my phone dies or sometimes when the app has been closed, I lose the record. I don't have the option of restoring it or it autosaving. I wish it did.

A perfect drawing app for the travelling artist (or for anyone who haven't the time to do projects on their computer)! All the features on this app remind me of what you can do on any art program on a desktop computer, including a function to add brushes and what have ya. One thing I'd want to suggest is a vector feature though, that would be awesome!!! 👍🏾 Highly recommend this app if you love Procreate (for iOS), Infinite Painter or Ibis paint, or just drawing in general!
