An Almost Perfect App

I like the setup of this comic book making app. It really makes making comics so easy, but it’s just short of a couple features to being the perfect app.

1) I’d like to have the option to draw within the panels for rough sketches or draw my panels instead of solely relying on photos to fill the pages, maybe even make the drawings a middle layer between the photos and the speech bubbles. Just your typical photoshop tools like the pencil, a vector pen, a fill paint bucket, etc.

2) There should be a tool that lets the user make his own custom pages, like, for example, the user starts of with a single box in a page. Every time they swipe their finger across the box, it divides box into different panels according to the user’s swipe. I’ve seen a similar feature used in another app called “ibisPaint X,” and it’s pretty effective for what it is.

I really hope that y’all take this feedback into consideration for your next update. I enjoy how easy this app makes comic books, and I’d love for it to get better.

I love this app but where’s layout app

Also I wanna add my own balloons

App has gone to crap

The first version was better, you don’t have to fight to remove a tone of extra effects that you don’t want, and normal export was easy.

This version has more options but everything is way more difficult to to just basic functions.

Also, there are weird visual glitches interrupting the editing process now.

Does this company still exist?

This app is great. Unfortunately the custom templates are broken, they don’t take me to the app on the store which means it’s been removed. Shame.

The Perfect AI Art Companion.

Put this in your toolbox. AI txt to art flows so well into this app and right back out to Instagram, Fb, YouTube and more.
