### 5/5 — I love this app

*2026-07-12, version 6.5*

This app is incredible no explanation

### 4/5 — 계속 픽셀펜으로 떠요

*2026-06-01*

기능은 다 좋은데 원래 부드러운 스쿨펜 드로잉펜을 주로 쓰다가 픽샐펜 한 번 썼더니 다시 돌아오지 않네요.. 그림 그의 다 그렸는데

### 2/5 — It confusing

*2026-04-26, version 6.4*

It’s low-key a confusing app and it’s annoying. Overall, I tried using my Meta pen on it and it didn’t work for some reason then, when I sized up the eraser, it still was a racing spot. Just a weird app overall and I kept re-downloading it to try to see what was the issue. The only good thing that I have to say about it is the tips on how to make among us nice and some of the tools are, but I was so limited to them.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-03-05, version 6.4*

I only wish that you were able to get the English version

### 5/5 — フォント目当ての人絶対読んで！！！

*2026-02-23*

私の調べ不足等でしたら申し訳ございません。
ジャンプで使われているフォントが使えると書いてありますが、嘘です！実際はゴシック体と明朝体（全然コミック調じゃないやつ）が３つずつしかありませんでした。アイ◯スペイントの方が種類あります。
コマ割りとかも色々使いにくいですし､､､
大変残念でした。

### 5/5 — Very very good

*2025-12-31*

This app is the best manga making app in the world

### 3/5 — Ich kann nicht mein Manga Cover saven...

*2025-12-19, version 6.4*

Alles ist gut mit. Denn Pinseln sind gut, denn werkzuegen sind gut und wie es funtioniert aber da gibts ein problem ich kann nichts saven meine Manga Covers, meine drafts und meine seiten! ich weiß nicht wieso! aber es ist immer noch toll!

### 4/5 — Great! but a bit confusing to use 🥲

*2025-11-29, version 6.4*

When I had first gotten it, it was a teeny bit not like what I expected. This app is amazing for making comic strips, but for me it’s not exactly the best to use for cover art. It’s even more confusing when you don’t see any blending tools. 

Another thing is that I was a bit confused because I wanted to practice with the SPY X FAMILY art style, and instead got something else. But in summary, it’s great, but there needs to be a few improvements.

### 1/5 — app keep crashing without saving

*2025-11-11, version 6.4*

app keep crashing without saving, it suddenly exit without warning and not saving any progress.

### 5/5 — 筆圧検知をオフにさせて

*2025-11-10, version 6.4*

筆圧検知が描くたびにオンになって一回一回オフにしないといけません。作動しない設定を実装してほしいです。よろしくお願いします
