I love the software nothenless ### 4/5 — Megh  *2026-06-10, version 5.0.4* I like it, but I wish it would have an easy graphic novel feature. I’ve been trying to make graphic novels, the graphic novel pictures on here, but they kinda turned out, looking like a toddler painted it. ### 4/5 — コンパニオンモードをすぐ開ければ *2026-06-08* 学生の頃からかれこれ10年ちょっとお世話になり続けています。普段iPadとPC(板タブ)で描いているのですが、左手デバイスとしてスマホを使用しています。 コンパニオンモードに遅延も少なくカスタムも楽で便利なのですが如何せん接続するまでの工程が少し面倒です。 指描きをしないのでスマホ版は契約していないのですが無料体験→設定→コンパニオンモードと工程が多く、なおかつアプリを少しの間切り替えてると接続が切れてしまいます(これは仕方ないかなと思っています) 私みたいに描画にスマホは使わないけど左手デバイスとして使用する勢も少なくは無いと思うので、是非コンパニオンモードを1発で開けるショートカットボタンを検討頂きたいです。 ### 4/5 — i recommend !!!! *2026-06-05, version 5.0.4* 4.5/5 i used to be an ibispaint warrior before i decided to just bite the bullet and switch to clip studio. it's been great so far! i feel like i draw better now. there was a slight learning curve, but it really only took me a week to fully grasp all the tools. it loses half a star because sometimes when i zoom out it'll create a random straight line. not a glaring issue, just annoying, and sometimes i don't catch it immediately. its very much worth the 2.50ish a month! stan more more jump ### 4/5 — I like it *2026-06-01, version 5.0.4* It’s not to bad but I don’t like how for some stupid reason when using fill anything I had before in the lines is removed I’d would say ibs paint x is better the selection thing is also a bit bogus I wish you could just select everything in the lines (or I’m dum and don’t know how to fix these things) but still it’s not to bad ### 3/5 — Trava muito *2026-05-30* É um aplicativo muito bom e cheio de utilidades, mas trava muito e fica difícil de desenhar assim ### 4/5 — good! *2026-05-30, version 5.0.4* so, i think this app is pretty great!!! it’s fun to draw with and i finally found how to change the stabilizer! although i do have some problems with it. for one, please make it so you can change 3d reference body types!!! i want to draw fat people and average people and skinny people and these models just don’t cut it. two, PLEASE MAKE A SQUARE BRUSH TYPE I BEG YOU!!!! I WILL SELL MY SOUL FOR IT!!!! ### 4/5 — So Good! *2026-05-26, version 5.0.4* This app is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I will definitely use this to make tons of comics, and since I am a beginner here, I have some ideas in mind. I hope I can find my happy place here! Thank you. ### 4/5 — Pretty good on the free side *2026-05-06, version 5.0.4* The 30 hours per month is pretty good for a person like me that works on one big piece and then takes a long break till the next piece, so the timer isn't really much pressure, and the default brushes feel good to where I'm not SOLELY using custom brushes. Of course theres more to be desired and I'm sure people that draw much more frequently and more quickly than me would say otherwise to what i’m saying but thats just how its always gonna be ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-08-13, version 5.1.1* Im trying to sign in but some how it says it doesn’t work. 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. ### 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? ### 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. ### 1/5 — Nix verstehen *2026-06-21* Man kriegt keinen genauen Einblick ich habe nichts verstanden ### 1/5 — Don’t get this unless you spend money *2026-06-19, version 5.0.4* Bro just let us use it for F̲̅R̲̅E̲̅E̲̅ >:[ ### 1/5 — Why *2026-06-16, version 5.0.4* I saw that it didn’t need to be paid to use but no,It does now I just have it in my phone because I can’t pay for it. 😠 ### 1/5 — I hate it *2026-05-31, version 5.0.4* I can’t even draw or do anything mannequins can’t move I’m crying because I can’t delete my art or the app it’s all because of you one star I’m never trusting you again. ### 1/5 — I can’t even sign in to my old account *2026-05-06, version 5.0.4* I used to use this app 2/3 years ago and had a full account and now me trying to sign in again it won’t lemme. Even creating saying it has my account as registered. With said same email I used to login.. please fix this, this really messed up my day and I hope when this is fixed I can draw again without burn out ### 1/5 — It won’t work like the adds *2026-04-19, version 5.0.2* It won’t let me do anything the adds are better then the real thing it’s either I can’t figure it out or this app is trash🗑️💔😿 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ❤️❤️ ### 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 👋 🎀 ### 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. ### 5/5 — Best art app I’ve ever used *2026-06-24, version 5.0.4* This is soo fun😭 ### 5/5 — How it is *2026-06-06, version 5.0.4* I mean it’s alright like some things I can’t access but it’s really good there should be a ruler to make things straight ### 5/5 — Really good! *2026-05-24, version 5.0.4* I got this since i needed another app to draw since my other is restricted. It took a few hours to figure it out, but i just realized how cheap it is, and it's really good! I'm so happy this is a free app if needed, since the subscription ain't needed! Great app! ### 5/5 — Please read *2026-05-17, version 5.0.4* This app is awesome to draw and all, but can you put a text/text bubble feature? I really need it for my manga that I’m making, so please put that option ### 5/5 — Bom *2026-04-11* Mt bom e fácil de colocar as coisas a cor os utensílios bem melhor do que aqueles outros apps que me esse tipo de negócio até eu que não sei desenhar direito fez ficar bem melhor ### 5/5 — Love This App *2026-04-10, version 5.0.2* I use the app to draw everything. I love all the features and options. I’ve used their desktop version and it feels like it's the same. ### 5/5 — Peak *2026-03-28, version 5.0.1* Amazing I can animate even on mobile --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
