I love it.

It feels exactly like how I draw on my 3DS XL except I can get in with more detail. Works way better with a stylus. I think it would thrive if you guys added in colored pencils. Other than that, 20/10 would highly and definitely recommend if you’re more of a traditional artist like me.

Eraser dont wok

Please fix eraser and then it will be a great app otherwise useless

Response from developer

Howdy Juanpichirilo! Thanks for purchasing Interactive Sketchbook and leaving a review! It's possible there is a bug we need to fix, but there are a couple things that might make erasing more difficult that aren't always obvious. Interactive Sketchbook has 3 distinct layers: "Sketch", "Detail", and "Tone". Because of this, you can only erase a pencil mark in the layer it was created in. Because the detail and sketch marks can look similar, you may want to use the checkmarks in the layer tabs to turn those layers on and off to find where the line you want to erase is located. The other thing to know is that the eraser is also pressure sensitive if you have an Apple Pencil attached, or is velocity sensitive if you don't use an Apple Pencil. So you may need to press more firmly with an Apple Pencil to erase more thoroughly. Otherwise erasing more slowly with your finger will remove more of the pencil marks, whereas erasing quickly will remove less (Allowing you to use the eraser to fade out lines). If this doesn't resolve your issue, please contact us at support@digitalwavecreative.com and we can do our best to trouble shoot or to identify a potential issue so we can get a bug fix release out to address it. Thanks and Happy Sketching!

Crashes constantly

Needed a sketchbook on my iPad and loved the features this has listed. So paid the $4.99 for it and EVERY time I try to change the pencil or look for eraser, the app crashes on me!! They need to get this fixed ASAP .

Great for practice

The side-by-side view makes this app great for practicing portraits or doing figure drawing from reference. I’ve never seen another app like it.

It was good when I got it, and each update since has polished the drawing experience even more.

Eraser doesn’t work!

It has been interesting following the tutorials but the app has a major flaw in that the erase function doesn’t work at all. Please
Fix this!

Waste of money

Doesn’t work. I paid $5 for the cover of a sketch book. The app doesn’t move beyond the cover

Response from developer

Hey apppleuserrr, apologies for the confusion. There are buttons on the main menu, but they are styled to look like text on a sketchbook cover. "Sketch", "Tutorials", and "Portfolio" are all tap-able. That should get you up and running. If you have any other issues, feel free to drop us a line at support@digitalwavecreative.com. Cheers!

Eraser doesn’t work

This is a great app, and it helps me draw and expand my capabilities, the only drawback being I can’t erase any mistakes I made which is really annoying. Would’ve given it 5 stars without this mistake.
Hopefully they fix this error

Erase doesn’t work

Eraser doesn’t work on 2018 iPad with pencil or finger.

Apple Pencil does not work well with this app

Apple Pencil will not erase

Unlocked imagination!

No other app I have tried (about 12 different once) gave me the confidence and step by step structure to make me believe that I am capable to draw something other than a stick figure.

This app took intimidation out of drawing and in a step by step fashion I was able to see a portrait come together... my wife did not believe I did it, but thanks to the replay feature that literally animates all the strokes you took while drawing she saw it... kind of took the magic out of it a bit ;) but she was impressed that I could draw.

Too many cool features to list, do yourself a favor able buy it, most negative reviews are from long time ago when Apple Pencil support was not as good, works amazingly well for the last 2 years.
