Ratings and reviews

It was great, the brushes were good, it worked fine, and though some of its tools can be a bit glitchy. The issue I really had was when the backup images were in my camera roll, it was very disruptive and there were just big gray blocks in my photos where the backups were. You can't delete them either, so you have to have these unusable images in your camera roll. If you like things in place like me, it's a bit of an issue.

I love this app and have been using it for many years. I give it 5 stars and would recommend it to anyone, whether they're just starting their digital art journey or have been a digital artist for ages. It has a lot of convenient tools built into it, and the UI is super user-friendly. It's much easier to use than many of the other art programs out there, in my experience.

Was looking for something for a project- this app is suitable enough. More work than I hoped, less work than I feared. It evens out to being pretty good for my needs. 1/2 star off for not being able to change the size of the brushes 1/2 star off for not being able to change the strength of the brushes These were possible in MS Paint. If the ability to do those here is locked behind a pay wall? That's kinda BS.
