Great, just lacks some features
+Great simulation of an ink brush, just feels good to use
+Simplicity, intuitive UI
+Good value, cheap for what it is
-Lacks selection of coloured inks, those nuanced shades of blue, green, brown etc that appear in traditional ink wash
-Perhaps most critical flaw is the lack of canvas resolution settings that one would expect from this sort of product
I don’t know if the latter is part of the developers approach to simple-to-use UI or a limitation of the underlying brush engine but this definitely limits the capabilities of the otherwise fantastic app.
