Failure to Close
The Apple Pencil functionality is excellent. However, the app fails to close with the standard swipe. If I only used one app it would be okay, but the beauty of iOS is consistency of basic functions. It’s frustrating when basic controls are hidden and unresponsive.MJMwriter
Developer Response
Hi, Thanks for the valuable feedback! Try going into the settings app and finding Asketch. There is a switch for “Defer system edge gestures” If this fails to help I’d be happy to provide additional support: akernsoft@icloud.comReview

Thank you!Difficult to use
Simplicity doesn’t always mean less sometimes it just means the ability to organize.
Is a slider really less complicated than 3-5 size option buttons.
How is swiping a little undo button supposed to be easy?
Y so many gestures click tapping to get to one toolV viper
Wrongly charged!
AppAdvice advertised that app was on sale for free so downloaded for a look... However have just seen that a charge of $1.99 has been made. It won't break the bank but not happy with what I hope was a simple mistake.DWT2019
A very good app.
This app is exactly what it is, a sketching app, plain and simple. Like when you want to doodle, or draw something like a human figure, a horse, anything! The colors are great but when like you want to draw or sketch with a pencil this works for me as the drawing tool reminds me of what a pencil would put out on paper. A very good app to begin your ideas and also if you want to create some sketches.Show lessEllionazul

It Has a Place
As a Pro who has several other full-featured apps on my iPad Pro, I was looking for a very simple drawing app for use on my iPhone 6S. Since Autodesk stabbed users in the back and dumped their lite version of Sketchbook I haven't come across another app that served the same basic purpose.
Asketch seems like it will fill the bill. Very clean and simple. Only the basic necessities for jotting a quick sketch or idea (though more complex work can be done). The interface is very clever and efficient IF YOU FIND OUT HOW TO USE IT. Don't even know if it is useable with a stylus, but then I don't carry one with my phone, so that is not an issue. This is for simple stuff, executed with my finger, and it seems to do that very well.
ADDENDUM:
A recent update took away the ability to utilize a broad brush/pencil for color-filling areas. I also keep this app on my iPad Pro for quick conceptualizing, and the loss of the ability to color-fill areas really reduces it’s usefulness. It is now essentially a line drawing app, and the supposed adjustment of line thickness is almost imperceptible, even with the Apple Pencil.
ADDENDUM 2:
The developer has responded to my criticisms, and advised that adjustments are available for the program in my iPad’s settings. Frankly, I had never thought of looking there, as most apps typically have adjustments available within the program. Knowing about these adjustments helps restore some usefulness for me, though some of the available adjustments really need clarification as to their function. There should at least be a link to an instruction manual embedded within the program. If there is a manual I haven’t seen it. The two programs I use mostly use professionally are Procreate and Concepts. Asketch still provides a very useful simple tool. Thanks to the developer for “being home”Show lessShortShrift

One of the nicest applications i used . There is a disadvantage when you go to the tools by lifting the screen to the top Give him 7 out of 10Abo YOsf
Writing a new review…
Skip down to the bottom for the quick version.
Eight years ago I wrote my first review for this app. The app was getting too many bad reviews in my opinion. It was a beautiful idea in it’s simplicity. Give people the ability to sketch on their phones. I was using it on a second or third generation iPod touch. I don’t remember now which it was. But I do remember that this app offered enough to really be creative. The limitations required that the artist experiment and find a way to do what they were thinking. As a musician I always like putting myself into situations where I’m extremely limited and see what I can come up with. This was simply a different art form that was doing the same thing and really forced me to expand my thinking because I couldn’t expand my tools.
Well, other reviewer‘s did not like this at all. They kept screaming that it needed to have this or that and it didn’t even have this other thing that they wanted. It was like they wanted a complete Photoshop or Paint program in their phone eight years ago. So my review was pretty angry against other reviewer‘s rather than promoting how good this app was.
Here’s all you really need to know…
It’s an excellent intuitive app. It has grown with iOS but still creates a mild challenge. It gives you a certain set of tools and challenges you to explore your creativity. It’s an awesome sketch app. Be imaginative!Show lessGitarzz
Extremely simple app
Very simple and easy to use app. There’s no frills and that also makes it less distracting but maybe it could use some other feature like importing pics or a way to control the brush thickness. Also I’m not sure is the second icon an eraser or a brush?almmohd
