Good but

This game is rlly good for drawings and stuff making animations are ok on it as well but we have run into one problem, mistah Valentino was trying to draw something on here but when he tried to colour fill it wnet over the top of his lines and he had to make a new layer and colour fill beneath it. Now we don’t mind very much but mistah Val got very upset, and we’d appreciate it if u could fix that, thank you and remember ✨trust VoxTek with ur reviews (and also ur everything) :D✨ -VoxTek reviews

Why do you got to pay just to save your progress 😡😡😡😡😡😡

I give this a 2 stars because you have to pay
to save your drawings and it’s dumb 😡😡😡but
when you use free mode you can’t save it which is dumb so make it save your progress free NOW😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Really good version of clip studio!

I had used the desktop version before using this one, and I am wowed! The devs did a great job of translating the desktop app to mobile! 5 stars!

Why did have to pay

I hate this thing I am ten years older i never what get this app I am sorry you what this app I know don’t what to pay😡but I never going to get this app I hate this

Frustrating and disappointing

The whole reason I got this app was through SkillShare, with a manga teacher (量片桐) who recommended and used this app. I find it frustrating, because if you WANT to make Webtoons, manga, etc, it’s like you have to either be a pro OR use paid features and tools. It’s also disappointing because I was expecting this to be free, not like $50 a month, which is not expected from most Japanese-originating apps I download. Get this app, don’t get this app. Not really up to me but it’s up to YOU, the reader, if you want to download this. I can!t force you, or force an opinion on you…So fine by me if you download it and it’s not what you expected.
