And I thought it was possible to draw without signing in but it didn’t work. Even when I could draw the brushes weren’t working. ### 5/5 — I love it but.. *2026-08-06, version 5.1.1* I love this app so much but I wish they had settings where you can make your Gacha life character look like an anime girl but this is still a very good game I rate it a 5 ❤️❤️ ### 3/5 — Please change these things 😫 *2026-08-02, version 5.1.1* Ver.5 sucks it forgets my account every time and it doesn’t even have its tutorial videos on the app I like it but it just doesn’t have good tutorial and I wish they were on the app because not everyone has YouTube or a search app. Pls make better tutorials and put them on the actual app ### 1/5 — if you make me not have to purchase first, I’ll change it to five stars (I don’t want a free trial) *2026-07-29, version 5.1.0* why do I have to sign in and have a free trial? I hate you. so would you rather... Die now, or making us not have to purchase first? ### 3/5 — I’ve been wasting time on this app. *2026-07-28* It’s a great app but it’s a time waster.idk how I should explain but It’s kinda a little uncool ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-07-20, version 5.0.4* I SERIOUSLY hate how you can only draw for a limited time ### 1/5 — Чтт это *2026-06-28* Я даже приложение не использовала а удалить из-за лимита не могу , чтобы использовать только платить надо и че ? Зачем так делать , сделали бы бесплатную версию и все. ### 5/5 — Hiiii my cuties ❤️❤️❤️ *2026-06-28* 🎀Also ich liebe die App habe sie erst seit kurzem aber trotzdem bin ich begeistert. Mann kann sich viel ausprobieren und sogar Animation machen! Natürlich muss man Geld bezahlen aber was ich toll finde das man jeden Monat 30 Stunden gratis hat…..Ich glaub 30 Stunden. Danke das ihr mir zu gehört habt 💋🫶🏻🥰 ich wünsche euch noch einen wunderschön Tag. Tschüssi 👋 🎀 ### 3/5 — Eh? *2026-06-28, version 5.0.4* It’s ok-ish, it bugs sometimes but it’s ight. I love the software nothenless ### 5/5 — 타 그림앱에 비한 장점 *2026-06-27* 안녕하세요 저는 (전)이비스 유저인데요, 이비스가 삭제되서 클튜로 옮기게 되었습니다. 우선 이비스는 레이어 추가에서 색 변경 기능이 없는데 클튜는 파란색으로 변경 가능해서 밑그림 구별이 쉽습니다. 그리고 그외에도 손떨림 보정, 3D인체모형 등(이비스는 2D) 여러모로 이비스보다 클튜가 낫습니다. 하지만 좀 아쉬운게 이비스는 만화를 그리고 로그인만 한다면 누구든 올리는게 가능해서 마치 SNS처럼 사용할 수 있습니다. 클튜도 이비스처럼 브러시만이 아닌 만화를 올릴 수 있게 바꿔 주시면 감사하겠습니다. (제가 기능을 잘 모르는 거라면 알려 주세요) 만약 이비스하고 클튜 중 무엇을 깔까 고민중이시라면 일단 클튜 까세요 정말 좋습니다. ## Frequently asked questions about Clip Studio Paint for iPhone ### What can I create with this app?
