Ratings and reviews

I used this app for years. I've done all of my artwork on this app and have them saved in a folder on my phone. Recently I had to delete the app for a bit, not even for a week. When I reinstalled it and opened the app, after attempting to choose the artwork folder, it immediately crashes. I've tried multiple times, uninstalling, reinstalling, clearing space, clearing the cache. Not a thing worked. I'm getting ready for an art show and I need this to finish an art piece. Please fix this!! 🙏

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've been using this for at least 2 years now and it's one of the best apps I have used. it's really easy and I don't have to worry about pop up ads. Though I've been having some trouble recently with some of the tools not working like the bucket and color picker. Also, I can't rotate my canvas for some reason. it's a bit annoying but other than those bugs it's a great app for anyone to use.
