Crash and losing work
I used to have great experience with the free version of this app, even though I had limited access to tools. Since I began using it more and more, I decided to pay for it, and, vois là, all the bugs and crashes imaginable. On top of that, I lost part of my drawing when the app decided closing out of the blue. I’m an amateur, drawing is very hard for me, and you just threw my hard work into the void :( not happy.
Great app, but does not family share
This app is very easy to use and would probably get 5 stars if I could share it with my family on there iPads as well.
SO GOOD
I really like this game
What did you do to the gradient tool?
The gradient tool in earlier versions work better than the tool now works. You use to be able to draw an outline and fill that particular outline. Now the gradient seem to always fill Yuen whole screen. Help.
My Go-To Drawing App
I have multiple drawing apps but this is definitely the one I find myself going back to the most. Yes, I know Procreate (which I also own and love) has a lot more functionality and, if you need those extra features, go for it. But Sketches has everything I need most often, without the clutter of a bunch of additional options I’m probably never going to use anyway. The interface is straightforward and friendly. The app is rock steady and unbuggy. And it’s just damned fun to use. I even like the sounds. In fact, I almost always keep the sounds turned on with the volume up just loud enough to hear, without disturbing others. It’s heartbreaking whenever you find a favorite creative app that eventually gets discontinued. Sadly, that’s happened to me more than once. But it seems the developers of this app are really committed to it, which is just one more reason I’m glad I fell in love with this one. I plan to use Sketches for a long, long time. And I can’t endorse it highly enough.
Great app
This is a great app. Very convenient to use.
Read before getting
Ok so I LOVE the game but I HATE how I have to use Money to get Certain stuff like adding 3 layers or going pro mode. and I get on it
And my stuff gets deleted cause it’s like I go on that pic and I need
to remake it. Please fix that or I will delete it bye.🥰
Just want money.
This app used to be great. I loved the unique brushes and textures,but now you basically have to pay for everything. Why do I have to pay money to turn down the opacity of my brush? It was ridiculous enough in the old version you had to pay for layers. This app is such a money grab now.
Not getting what is in tutorial
:(
Tried and tried to copy/paste a sketch.
Frustrating. The tools are missing. Round and round I go.
I don’t know what’s going on.

Good, but
The old version was significantly better. Would be 5 stars if you kept the community. Add back some older features.
