Doesn’t show on the bar even though I equipped it from the quick access. ### 3/5 — Wish it was updated *2026-08-04, version 6.1.10* Does the job but has no love that android gets ### 4/5 — 多加点功能吧 *2026-08-03* 用着还是很舒服的油吼吼 ### 2/5 — Hated the app *2026-08-02, version 6.1.10* When I tried to do a cozy coloring it wouldn’t let me color in side the black lines and in procreate u can do that so I think y’all need to fix that ### 4/5 — 画一半一整个区域突然闪没了 *2026-07-31* 很绝望知道吗 ### 4/5 — Liquify *2026-07-27, version 6.1.10* Just give us free liquify others wise great app ### 3/5 — Pretty good but *2026-07-27, version 6.1.10* This is very. Good but it has some problems. When I wanna ease something it takes way to long to do it and when I draw I want the opacity to be 100 but it’s not so yeah it's pretty good but it problems ### 4/5 — Ok *2026-07-26, version 6.1.10* Hard to choose a favorite art game but I love the game game so much and love drawing ### 4/5 — 🤫 *2026-07-25* 虽然有点卡顿但是还是值得推荐！（真心的 不是人机评论） ### 4/5 — Pretty good, *2026-07-17, version 6.1.10* As a 12 year old artist who is just starting digital art, it’s super easy to navigate. There are plenty of tools that you can use which are also in paid apps like procreate. It’s a great substitute for said paid apps.Aside from tools, there are plenty of things you can use this app for such as, animation, graphic designing and of course, drawing.The only complaints I have of this app, is that there are way too many adds, I get that it’s free but whenever I’m drawing, and add pops up on the bottom of my screen which is super distracting.Another thing is, it’s very hard to find good brushes, there is quite a selection but not much verity. Most brushes are either too similar or just straight up useless, like the pearl brush, who’s going to use a brush that’s literally just beads?! Other than that, it’s a great app overall, would 100% recommend over the sketchbook app, and great if you can’t get procreate ### 3/5 — Fix the liquefy tool please *2026-07-17, version 6.1.10* Overall this a good app but some of the features a a little buggy. As for the liquefy tool I think it is the buggiest one it glitches the screen and sometimes the app crashes thanks if you read this bye ### 3/5 — bleh *2026-07-08* жалко что нельзя работать с графическим планшетом подключенным по блютузу,а так приложение хорошее >_0 ### 4/5 — 😭 *2026-07-06* 能不能修修你那破bug😭好不容易画张画结果直接打不开了😭已经不是第一次了 二编，气死我了居然还没有代餐，气死了，这么多问题我还完全舍弃不了，用得顺手的只有这个和画世界pro，我将生气的使用 ### 4/5 — Please add this!! *2026-07-05, version 6.1.10* Great app!! I love this! Ive been using it for over a year now! But..there’s just one thing i want you guys to do You should really add a toggle that lets you remove the redos and undos when looking at your speedpaint! If you know what i mean i just wanna see my art going straight forward without seeing my undos and redos! Really Amazing app tho if you want procreate but cant afford it!! ### 3/5 — Looked cool but know is trash *2026-06-30* There are no layers and there are a few brushes not that it’s super bad but for me it’s trash try kreska.art really goood. ### 5/5 — All the brushes so good 1 love it so much and the color choices!! Love it so much!, *2026-06-18* You should try it if you are a pro or a beginner.yeah so HiPaint is officially the best art thing project you can ever make. If you are looking for free apps too HiPaint is the job you are looking for. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 功能不完善 *2026-08-09* 图层无法拖动 ### 1/5 — ГДЕ МОЙ РИСУНОК?! *2026-08-01* это кошмар. рассказываю: рисовала я себе спокойно вчера модельку часов 9, потратила на это целый день, очень она мне нравилась, была счастлива, что почти завершила, захожу сегодня в это «шедевроприложение» начала делать правки в рисунки, посмотрела на него свежими глазами, все было хорошо. после этого сделала дубликат одной папки, но после поняла, что мне она не нужна и хотела удалить эту папку: раз нажимаю на Удалить, два, три….. двадцать раз как минимум, я подумала «ну просто приложение затупило» и перезапускаю его. кнопка удалить так и не работала, НО МЕНЯ ПОРАЗИЛО ДРУГОЕ! ГДЕ МОЙ РИСУНОК?!холста нет, рисунка нет, ВООБЩЕ НИЧЕГО, пустой фон(который за холстом), слои вроде остались, но САМ РИСУНОК ГДЕ?! у меня просто щас истерика, я уже перезапустила его, хотела хотя б попробовать сохранить его, НИЧЕГО НЕ ГРУЗИТ, я даже банально загрузить его в галерею не могу.. я насчет функционала вообще молчу. если я сейчас ещё буду рассказывать то, чего не хватает в этом приложении, уйдет 10 лет. короче, лучше прокреит или ибис пеинт. а, еще если вы например после рисования выйдете из приложения просто, то велик шанс, что оно просто не засчитает вам ваши последние действия 👍 приложение позор просто. ### 1/5 — No blends *2026-07-27, version 6.1.10* You have to pay for blends and you still can’t find where it is, idk what this update is but it’s the absolute worse ### 1/5 — et c’est okayy *2026-06-28* j’adorer la plate-forme pour sa gratuité, l’interface le côté fluide et les nombreux pinceaux qui étaient pratique. Mais malheureusement un truc ne va pas c’est le système de sauvegarde de l’application… j’avais besoin de place pour télécharger un truc et vu que mon HiPaint et la seul application que j’ai télécharger je les supprimé quelques seconde le temp que j’essayer de faire mon téléchargement qui n’a pas marché au final. Et que tu m’a surprise en ré-téléchargent HiPaint plus aucun de mes dessin était présent..je croyais qu’il y avait un système de sauvegarde et ben non maintenant j’ai plus rien certains je les avais fini du coup je les ai en photo mais d’autres disparu dans le néant. Je suis actuellement en dépression entre le flop du téléchargement et de la perte de mes dessin. Une soirée horrible finalement… donc oui mon étoile est la parce que je suis frustré d’avoir tout perdu ### 1/5 — CRASHING *2026-06-09, version 6.1.9* CRASHING ### 1/5 — 老是闪退搞得我图都没了有病吧 *2026-06-06, version 6.1.9* 如题 ### 1/5 — hi *2026-04-17, version 6.1.5* ts sucks ### 1/5 — Annoying as hell *2026-02-03, version 6.1.4* PROS: user friendly, the drawing is good, free CONS: WHEN YOU ARE DRAWING, THE DAMN COLOR PICKER WILL POP UP MULTIPLE TIMES. I HATE IT OMG THE ERASER IS SMALL AS HELL. THE SIZE RANGE FOR EVERYTHING SUCKS. ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-01-18, version 6.1.3* I hate this 😡 it is no good do not recommend. ### 1/5 — Complaint *2026-01-18, version 6.1.3* It won’t let me create a canvas for some reason ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 非常棒 *2026-08-07* 对于要求不是特别高的家伙来说完全够用，可惜没办法更新 ### 5/5 — 我真的超喜欢这款绘画软件！强烈推荐！巨好用！！！ *2026-07-18* 这绝对是我用过最良心的绘画软件！作为新手，之前一直觉得画画软件门槛很高，但 HiPaint 的界面非常简洁直观，上手特别快。最让我惊喜的是它的‘剪辑蒙版’和‘水彩笔刷’功能，稍微调一下参数，画出来的头发光影和质感绝了，完全不输付费软件！而且运行非常丝滑，完全不卡顿。核心功能完全免费，真的是宝藏软件，强烈推荐给所有喜欢画画的小伙伴。良心之作！我会一直支持下去！ ### 5/5 — 非常好的一款产品 *2026-07-17* 绘画功能完善，可自定义界面，非常伟大的设计。 ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2026-07-11, version 6.1.10* best free drawing app I cloud find and barely any ads.
