the app itself is great. its compatible with my s pen and the pressure sensitivity is great. i only have two issues with it. >it doesnt let me access my old works. when i try, it gives a message like "Oops failed to open image" so when i leave a drawing i close the app and go back to it. >theres no clipping layer, as in i cant make a new layer and clip it to the one below it. its a minor inconvenience since i only use the app for random sketches while im out, but it would make the app perfect

The app is amazing. But it has one gigantic flaw! This why I give it 3 stars. The undo button is hidden behind the options selector at the bottom of the screen. This means I need to click 3 time do undo anything. Or redo for that matter. First to make the button appear, one more time to undo, then a third time to make the pencil size (now blatantly placed in the middle of sceeen) go away. Please fix this. A undo button easily available at any given time.

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.

As a user who only uses the basic app, I find it brilliant, but a few improvements could be made (which might be available in the version & extras you can pay for). My 1 BIG problem with it, is that the eraser tool leaves a ghost image that you don't see until uploading the work. Pretty annoying, but if you go over the same area a few times, it seems to erase the ghosting remnants. Recently It crashes & only half your pic is saved, destroying all your work. Not used it since because of this.

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

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

For an ad free sketch app, this is incredible. Truly the easiest UI to navigate with, I've struggled with most other apps but this one has come out on top for android. The only Downside is the inability to add custom brushes to the android app version, I would happily pay for the app if it meant being able to have custom brushes installed as it would truly, in my opinion, make autodesk sketchbook THE best art app. Please please consider enabling custom brushes!!

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.

The app is pretty good for making basic logos and maybe some banners for something like a YouTube channel. It does have some limitations feature wise, but overall it does better than most other free drawing/sketching apps. Would be great if there were more features and a tutorial for beginners to learn how to use the app. 4 stars from me!

It's a great app for editing and making small personal edits. There's a variety of good tools on it like the the blending that's really good on finer details. The controls are easy to understand, there's a vide variety of customisable brushes and it's over a good experience. Whenever i uninstall and install, I still have my paintings, tho I don't think I signed in so I don't really know

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.
