Ratings and Reviews
Good but bad quality
Ngl I’ve been trying about 30 drawing apps, seeking to see which fits me and my needs. I’m an artist with a vision of the world, and I like to paint my world as bright, beautiful, perfect, ideal.
A few months ago I came across this app and thought ‘oh, it’s free’, so I didn’t expect too much from it. However, this wowed me. So many different paintbrushes to choose from, also an infinite amount of colours. This was AMAZING how I could just edit all my art here to add a little volume and colour. However, when I found out more about the app, I became a bit disappointing. One thing with other drawing apps that require money to access is that they have excellent outstanding quality. So, like, if you zoom in, you cant see the little pixels because they’re way too small.
It was different in this app. If I ever zoomed into my drawings I could see that it was terrible quality and blurry. I did not want that. I would like for you to fix that so I can carry on leaving better and better reviews, and perhaps recommend this to my other artistic friends!
Other than that, if you aren’t looking to draw or paint anything detailed, this app is for you!!!
Great app, but so much possibility!
I really love this app! It’s so useful, and my friends and I use it all the time, for all sorts of things, whether it’s little doodles or sketches or larger- scale things. It’s also very easy to use, and to easy to get to grips with.
A few ideas I have had are that could you possibly add a blending tool, to blend one colour into another? If so, this would be so useful! You could also make it so that you can work with other people on pieces of art, possibly using ICloud or making accounts with usernames and passwords. A final thing was that you could make tutorials that teach you how to draw certain things, maybe a new tutorial a month?
All in all, this is a wonderful app, and is better than all of the others on the App Store!
One problem or two
I think your app will be better if you did this the problem I want to talk about is that I bls paint x is better cuz you can change the size of the brush on any Device but if I go on my I phone se original😭...*on my phone only*you cant change the brush size but we use your app in school well I am 8 years old but we all play it on the I pads on our own and you can change the size of the brush pls fix this yoursinsiry Lucy
