ever since i updated my ios system to the newest version (ios 18), the app freezes and crashes every time i zoom in or out. it gets giant glitchy patches if it doesn’t crash and becomes incredibly frustrating when trying to draw something. i emailed support and was told an update would be coming asap but nothing has happened since. i’ve had to move to a new drawing software cause this is very frustrating. never had a single issue in the years i’ve been using the app and this is the first and only time this has happened
Crashes now 🥲
For a long time this app has been working very well. I was able to make a lot of art, maps, memes, etc. with this app and whatever I made always turned out brilliantly.
However, after the most recent Ipad OS update (as of now, on the 18th of December 2024) it has very frequently froze and crashed whenever I'm in the middle of doing something. At least whatever progress I do make on creating something here doesn't get lost…
If you see this, please find what is causing this issue. Is it some compatibility problem between it and another app? Is the app or my device's software outdated? Make sure to find an answer and fix it at some point.
Its ok
So I use sketchbook but it can be annoying to use I make a lot of characters in my art but the brushes make it so hard to look good It need some work but for being free its ok
Terrible.
Its not great. Just get ibis paint x…
There's an issue!
Great app overall, lads. But there's one TEENSY little problem, so, I make a new layer above another one, but I can see the layer underneath very faintly. And it's been annoying me beyond comprehension. Please fix this
DO NOT GET THIS
I downloaded this app to improve my realistic art skills and for fun but it was horrible,
It was not even art I would gladly perfer to draw on my hand then use this app.
This is good……………………………………………………but
This is good for creating charachters[plus one star]nd it has good brushes[plus another star]and it’s nice saving pictures in gallery,but…
After a bit it stops working,and you have to delete it and re-download to get it working
Amazing
So, it turns out, in my last review, I just didn’t look hard enough and there is actually a n option for a transparent background. My fault for not looking 😅
Anyways.. I still love this app. And, I’m nearly, nearly tempted to get the upgrade. Nearly.
And, I was however wondering.. about some of the brushes. Now, again, I may not have looked hard enough, and these could already exist. But, I was wondering if we could have some realistic spray paint brushes, perhaps where the paint drips slightly? I’m currently designing a character who does graffiti and street art, and I’d love to implement some realistic paint drips into the design.
Also, (another small request) perhaps if there was a feature that let you revisit tutorials on certain tools? I’m awful at the lasso tools and I’m clueless about certain layer features and functions, and I’d love a place where I can watch in app tutorials explaining certain aspects of the software in detail.
If I get either of those features I’ll be delighted!
Five stars all round! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you
This app is a miracle idk why but I am always addicted to this app
