Fake!!

I just downloaded this app. cant even load it. i hate it!!

Really Nice. Needs a couple adjustments.

It took me a while to warm up to it, but I’m really liking it. I just wish there was an object eraser that deletes entire stroke on contact. I also find the writing experience subpar compared to Goodnotes. The colour palette management is very unintuitive to me. It’s not obvious to me how to add and remove colours from my current palette.

I LOVE THIS APP SO MUCH!!

I only got it to sketch on an infinite canvas, but the more I used it the more I fell in love with it!! It offers so much in the free version that I would buy the everything one time purchase just for my love of the app. The brushes are amazing (with an apple pen!) and when I went to other apps I missed being able to erase with my finger. ITS JUST AN ALL AROUND AMAZING APP! + no ads either!! The only thing that gets me is that there’s no lasso tool unless you buy the everything one or the subscription. Which I don’t mind getting, BUT it gives you a free 7 week trial just for using the app at some point!! The greed is nonexistent and I want to support it more :)

“Editing is a paid feature”

Another “free” app that tries to force you into a purchase. I wouldn’t even mind purchasing, but having to rent to edit is kinda nutty.

Make easy things easier

Export line art to svg in one or two gestures

Select should be a top line function, not a detail on par with brush selection
