    I've tested many different drawing apps and this, by a long stretch, is the best. the amount of variation you can get in your drawings using a simple mobile app is Outstanding. However, even though there is a huge amount of brushes I always seem to find you can't ever really get exactly what your looking for. I suggest widening the variety of lining brushes and simple brushes that help even with colouring. But all in all a fantastic app.

    This is such a good app!! Great for really experienced digital artists, people who want to start or just the average person with a creative mind!! I love that you have so many brushes and the option for so many colours. The best part is that it is all free!!!! If you are reading this because you aren't sure whether to get this or not, go for it!!!! Its amazing!!!

    It's very good for drawing and the wide range of free brushes is very appealing but I have one complaint. After a while of using the app the lasso button completely stopped working. Idk if that's something to do with my device but it kinda sucks. Other than that highly recommend and is very user friendly

    I feel dissapointed to say this but although this app is excellent for my tablet, it is a completely different experience for my phone. The interface is different and not as quick-access and user friendly as the tablet version without any choice to switch to that interface. Please fix this and enable those shortcuts and side choices on our phones.

    This is a really good, responsive sketching app. The controls are really intuitive and I only ever had to look up the quick link keys once, which was easy to find in app. It allows zooming and rotating on the fly, for getting at all those tricky detail and angles in a sketch. The range of brushes is also very impressive, going from graphite pencils to watercolours to copic markers and all in between. It's a lot better than any of the Adobe programs that I've tried for mobile

    Have used this app for years, and is easily by far the best alternative option out there. The problem is, after updating my android system software, the app decides to crash mid way through work... 5 stars if they could only fix the "oops, failed to open" and the constant crashing. Until then, its slowly becoming unusable. Edit: Update has completely broken the app... lost years of work. Some help on downloading an original or older version would be highly appreciated.

    Changed my mind about this app because previously I lost all my work... it was my fault. It saves you work only onto your phone memory (or tablet, desktop etc). The work is saved into gallery but they don't appear as the actual image, just a symbol... SO DON'T DELETE THEM like I did! Apart from that I'm really happy using this especially on a tab S8 ultra.

    this art program is pretty good and ive used it for quite a while now and i keep learning new tips and tricks to make my artwork better. i do have some complaints though that prevent it from being a five star. firstly, the bucket tool really needs improving; i wish i could select a line and just change its color. secondly, theres like a 5% chance of a project just randomly getting deleted the next morning. doesnt matter how many times i save, i can still disappear. its very crushing.

    I loved the app and really love using it. I have just one problem I left the app as I had finished drawing and when I checked back all of my folders had been deleted and this really upset me as I had a lot of drawings I loved and spent so much time on and they were all gone with no trace of what happened to them I tried everything I could to get them back but I couldn't if it weren't for this I would rate 5 stars.

    i would use this over adobe photoshop - or any other editing app - for all of my projects. it's fun, easy to use, and doesn't crash or anything. you can make really high quality pieces of work, stupid little doodles and everything in between. the tools are cute and varied, and it's like having an actual drawing set only on your phone, tablet, laptop or whatever. i would definitely recommend this app.

    Sketchbook is a very good app but recently it has been not working too well. I am not able to see any of my previous work. Its quite frustrating since there is things I have not finished and would like to. When I zoom out it usually takes me to the gallery were all my work is but it closes the app and Autodesk - Sketchbook keeps stopping. Please sort this out!!
