Ratings and reviews

I would've given 5 stars a week ago but lately the app has been refusing to import images, saying that the "file format or size is not supported yet". There's nothing I can do, I've tried all types of files and even files that I have successfully opened before. It's just broken? Shame that it happened in the middle of inktober but apparently I'm not the only person who suddenly experiences malfunctions. Otherwise the app is great and has so many options and it's free. But please fix this.

It's a toy, not a tool. Works with a pasive stylist on the phone screen, but the touch screen resolution cause problems. Bought a sketch tablet, but there is far too much lag to work well. Cannot draw points, Cannot get lines to start from where I want them to. Time for a new app to go with my new tablet. It's a pity. It seemed like it had potential. I'll use Krita on my pc.

I really love this app. It's easy to use, the layout is simple, and it's just an amazing app overall. While there are a few bugs and problems in it, they are very minor issues that can be resolved. I use both Ibis Paint and Sketchbook, but I prefer Sketchbook because of it's layout. But anyways, it's an awesome and an easy-to-learn drawing app that I highly recommend.
