Ratings and reviews

This is a good drawing app! It's simple, and there are no ads. There are a variety of brushes to choose from. The only brush that this app still needs is a blur brush. Almost every other drawing app has one. And the touch sensitivity on this app isn't as good as other apps. Also, if I try to edit a sketch after a while, it says "failed to open file". Please fix this. Anyway, most of those issues are pretty small. If you fix them, this will be perfect! It already beats other apps in simplicity.

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.
