### 5/5 — TRY THIS APP AND YOUR GONNA HAVE A LOT OF FUN

*2026-08-20, version 1.3.2*

This app is totally one of the best to make comics. This app  is very fun and creative. Comic Draw give you a 2 weeks free trial. And the money is so low(I don’t want to say it because to say in an app is not good). But if you sell yours comics your gonna win money!!
TRY THIS APP NOW

### 3/5 — Pls make free

*2026-08-03, version 1.3.2*

I couldn’t do anything cos I had to pay so pls make it free and some things you have to pay for? Pls? I’m really upset that I can’t draw on it…

### 3/5 — Love the app but it is buggy

*2026-07-15, version 1.3.2*

Would love for the app to stop crashing. After installing again and again and running debug mode drawing doesnt seem to work. it keeps stalling.

### 1/5 — ARE WE SO FOR REAL?!

*2026-07-03, version 1.3.2*

DUDE I HAVE TO BUY A FREE TRIAL, AND ITS FOR JUST 2 WEEKS?! COME ON! IM TRYING TO MAKE A 20 COMIC SERIES! PLS LET THESE PEOPLE USE IT FOR FREE ITS JUST COMIC MAKING! I CANT BELIEVE I WASTED MY TIME ON GETTING IT

### 2/5 — Pay

*2026-07-02, version 1.3.2*

I have to pay for the whole purpose of the app

### 4/5 — Great App, could use some QoL

*2026-06-14, version 1.3.2*

Love it as someone who creates indie comics.

I primarily use it for its bubble and panelling capabilities, so some nice to haves here would be:
- layers for speech bubbles and panels. These layouts can get very complex
- mergeable bubbles and multiple tails
- maybe a bug: bubble templates dont seem to store the “variation” parameter, so this has to be applied mnually to every bubble.
- page range export

### 1/5 — You have to pay!?

*2026-06-14, version 1.3.2*

Overall, the app itself isn’t bad but the fact that you have to pay is not good.

### 5/5 — Worth for perspective grids alone

*2026-05-22, version 1.3.2*

Though it’s not true vector, which would up the price significantly, it really is a great app. I’d bought it a while ago to do only the rough sketches, but found myself getting more and more work done in the app. I’ve an old ink painted comic from the early 2000’s I wanted to redo digitally, and it’s great just to paste the image in, clean it, make it compatible for digital market, all in one app. Even if you splash out the dough for a kid to be amused on a car ride, they will be engaged in drawing a comic that I’d not a hassle, thanks to the design of this app.

### 2/5 — Bruh

*2026-05-15, version 1.3.2*

I gave this two stars because you should not have to pay to have a. Comi

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-05-07, version 1.3.2*

This is a real review and it is bad! I can’t even make a comic without having to pay this sucks and ruined my day. Fix the app or delete it NOW
