Ratings and reviews

my #1 Go-To for all things art. Been using it for years, idk how many now to be honest. Well worth the paid version. Only thing I would add is a way to make some things quicker to achieve, such as an auto select for layers. Switching between layers is eventually time consuming when you need to switch during every adjustment to line things up. Can't think of many other improvements, it is great as-is. Bugs are almost non-existent. It is a ready to go app, quality exports, install now!

I personally enoy this app. it's perfect for my type of art style and isn't very complex. Edit: (I also removed a bunch of stuff) they took away multiple things that are nessecities and put purchasements over them. as a play pass member, i dont have to really deal with it. but i can imagine the pain of other artists that dont have play pass. i know this is a free game, but don't do this. or at least lower the amount of purchases in this. you can do better.

Still one of the better digital painting & sketching software I've used for Android. Freaked out when my whole gallery disappeared and thought all my work was lost! Turns out after updating, ArtFlow permissions get turned off. So if you run into this heart stopping issue simply go to "Settings" on your phone click "apps", click on "ArtFlow" scroll down and click "permissions" and "allow" access to storage. Reopen ArtFlow click on "gallery" and !vuola! your work should return from the dead!
