However I just tried making a vector piece and sharing editable vector art work to my main pc was practically impossible. Sending to illustrator didn’t work, saving as psd lost some layers and opening in Ai wasn’t a smooth operation. I had to save as pdf, send the file to my MacBook then open the pdf in Ai and I still lost layer/artwork information. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2026-08-23, version 7.6.1* I really like the app, but I’m waiting for some more tools. I also wish we had more coloring pages and stuff. But overall, it’s amazing considering it’s free. ### 4/5 — It has lots of features but not a lasso fill *2026-08-20, version 7.6.1* It’s good but lasso fill is easy for me but it has good brushes and brushes I needed ### 3/5 — Question *2026-08-19, version 7.6.1* Can you animate on here if your on a phone? ### 4/5 — Enjoyable *2026-08-17, version 7.6.0* I love that it works on my iPad and can be used on illustrator, however when I try to export onto illustrator iPad app, it always crashes. This would be a,axing to have as an online app to use on a desktop like illustrator has. ### 3/5 — Great App, overall game changer missing some basic features for artists. *2026-08-16, version 7.6.0* I prefer this over other freemium applications, as well as procreate. The vector brushes and live brushes are a favored bonus to use in this program. I do feel there are some pivotal, and necessary features that could make this a program to fully switch to; I feel despite the suggested features, that are recommended, the implementation of reference window(s) when it is added will be sensational. The program at hand I could compare to Krita with the multifaceted options that are presently available, I do feel some of the rigid features due to the UI being changed in a more “recent “ update while impactful personally I miss the old UI, but that’s preference. I look forward to more vector brushes ultimately, it’s hard to work with certain brushes due to not being able to edit the initial shape. Though I do prefer this app ultimately and I have recommended it to others as of late. ### 4/5 — Physical media alt *2026-08-16, version 7.6.0* Excellent app for someone that’s not graphics design or tattoos… This app is for people that want to create art with physical media. We don’t have the time to purchase physical media. ### 4/5 — ℝ𝕖𝕧𝕚𝕖𝕨 *2026-08-15, version 7.6.0* 𝕀 𝕨𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕝𝕚𝕜𝕖 𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕖 𝕔𝕠𝕝𝕠𝕣𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕡𝕒𝕘𝕖𝕤 𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕒𝕤𝕖 ### 4/5 — Good but… *2026-08-14, version 7.6.0* I think it could use. A pattern tool ### 5/5 — .i love it *2026-08-13, version 7.6.0* Best app ever.im great at drawing now ### 4/5 — Not bad *2026-08-12, version 7.6.0* Switched form procreate to here, honestly I like it. It has endless layers, tons of tools, and can handle big files. My only concerns are; I wish the eraser and blend tools had more versatile options, and I’d love if there were blur modes like Gaussian blur and motion blur. ### 4/5 — T’is good *2026-08-12, version 7.6.0* It’s really good it’s just, I got this app to learn how to draw cats better and it works great because you can upload an image on your drawing and you can trace your image you uploaded , there’s just one thing…..sometimes when I put on “paint inside” like, 70% of the time it doesn’t work even if I check my line work. And like on the 2nd day I got this app whenever I upload a picture it doesn’t let me draw on it. And I feel. Like there should be a quick tutorial on how to use the stuff on the app. Other than those problems I keep running into, its a great app!🙂 ### 3/5 — Better explanation *2026-08-12, version 7.6.0* I barely understood the tutorial watched it a few times.but still made a good animation ### 5/5 — Brushes *2026-08-12, version 7.6.0* I absolutely love this app because the free brushes ### 5/5 — I think these recent updates may have broken a few things. *2026-08-12, version 7.6.0* Great app. Been using it since 2024. But recently I’ve seen a few glitches around, only with these newer updates in June, July, and this month. 2 main ones are Deletion being glitched (deleted documents reappear on the main section with a ! until permanently deleted), and on the newest update, I’ve been trying to save something but I just keep losing all my progress over and over again because it won’t save, no matter how long I leave it. The bar doesn’t move whatsoever. The amount of times I’ve lost all my progress now is insane and I hate it. I tried moving the layers I had left onto a new document but it still won’t save. It’s only this one too I think 🤔🤔🤔. Please help me! Also, future tool idea: the Fill All Bucket. A special bucket that replaces all of a colour in the entire document in 1 click. Super useful for people like me. ### 5/5 — Fr *2026-08-12, version 7.6.0* I love it much! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No lasso too? 1 star no lasso fill And eraser? One star *2026-08-26, version 7.6.2* It just doesn’t have lasso fill ### 1/5 — DO NOT UPDATE! *2026-08-24, version 7.6.1* App is unable to work properly, missing files, unable to rename files, library is completely unorganized, unable to copy, unable to duplicate, app crashes every few minutes. Ipad OVERHEATS now! ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-08-22, version 7.6.1* I wanted to animate so i spent a few minutes probably like 32 or something like that. I finished and wasnt able to see it 1 star Im actually mad right now ### 1/5 — I loved the app, but it’s so frustrating I don’t even want to use it. *2026-08-21, version 7.6.1* Honestly, I’m paying for the next half a year because- well I don’t even know why anymore… Every time I open the app and try to use it, it complains at me there is no room on my storage to save my art. What is the point of having things save to the cloud if the things I’m trying to save are filling up my internal storage so much anyway. I’ve deleted projects trying to clear THE APPS SPACE. I’ve deleted other apps trying to make more space for my art. On my iPad, this is the single most absolutely engorged app. I loved the UI, I loved how crisp I could get photos and how they automatically went to photoshop. I loved using the app in general, which is why I wanted to pay so much for it, but geez… if I cant even start a new project without it crashing, or have made progress on an older piece without it corrupting the original file… I’m just going to move on to something else and learn a new program. There’s no point. ### 1/5 — Why tf won’t it let me in this app every time I press both of the things it doesn’t let me in *2026-08-10, version 7.6.0* I don’t think your app is completely nice every time I log into this stupid game it won’t let me. I just want to draw in my peace and quiet but no this is all you ask for is to rage bait and make people mad. Why can’t you fix your stupid game just fix it before I give you a three star review or worse, please I just want to draw. ### 1/5 — Se queda buscando *2026-08-07, version 7.6.0* La actualicé, se queda cargando documentos y no termina. Yo no tengo documentos que cargar. ### 1/5 — Trouble *2026-08-01, version 7.5.0* Never enough memory and have trouble opening my artwork. ### 1/5 — I don’t want to use cloud or feed Ai my work *2026-07-30, version 7.5.0* Greedy adobe can’t make a simple feature ### 1/5 — My fav app steals my art and lags nonstop because it has to always be online or else *2026-07-26, version 7.5.0* I love the app. But adobe is too evil to even let it work. ### 1/5 — Changing User Interface Constantly *2026-07-26, version 7.5.0* It’s frustrating that Adobe keeps modifying the User Interface to move things around without keeping them in the constant location they usually kept it without any logic. I would hope you would allow users to keep a customisable UI that other Adobe products have. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍 *2026-08-28, version 7.6.2* 🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍 I LOVE THIS APP ### 5/5 — Yuh *2026-08-27, version 7.6.2* Yuh ### 5/5 — It’s soo good for beginners *2026-08-23, version 7.6.1* It’s great for beginners such as me since I’m a kid so I’m very happy that we have this kind of apps ### 5/5 — Better than what u think *2026-08-22, version 7.6.1* There is so many thing you can do!🤩🪽 ### 5/5 — Noice *2026-08-22, version 7.6.1* Really good app. Only complaint is why do you have to sign in to export your work!? ### 5/5 — Sooooo goood *2026-08-21, version 7.6.1* It has awesome colors and pens and you should definitely get it ### 5/5 — It’s the best drawing app in the world *2026-08-17, version 7.6.0* It’s the best ### 5/5 — Nice app *2026-08-16, version 7.6.0* Nice i wish i could there was a photo button or smt ### 5/5 — Adobe fresco LOVE!!!!!!!!!! *2026-08-14, version 7.6.0* Love it!
