I recently started using Sketchbook again after several years. It was fine before, but it's fantastic now!! Infinite layers (something I still can't find with any other free Android app), excellent brushes with some fun oil-like blending functionality, minimal interface that gets out of the way & I swear gets easier to navigate with every update, basic palette creation, and so on. For on-the-go art it's my personal favorite—definitely one of the best!

I am personally going to say, no other drawing apps compare! This is the best one yet, it has a very simple and easy to understand layout! It could use a couple more tools, liquefier, more preset pens, etc. Only issue I have had is it won't let me open a few drawings lately. Other than that, it is an amazing app, no ads or payment for the full experience! 9.5 out of 10!

It may work for some, but it's most definitely not developed for every person. It's missing a great deal of attributes that I would certainly anticipate to discover in a thorough painting app, and the modification alternatives are limited. The brush types are OK, yet they don't feel as practical as they should. The layer blending settings are additionally not very instinctive. Altogether, this app is simply alright in my viewpoint.
