Great app!

Genuinely the only one I use (ok this and FlipaClip but mostly this) for art because it’s very easy to use! Sometimes I wish I had more custom color pallets but I can foresee a color hoard in my future if you were to add that so I appreciate you not doing that. An extra layer or two would be nice though. Otherwise 20/10 I genuinely can’t figure out the other apps tbh

......

At first it was the greatest app for me ever,until today it lagged a lot and I tried to update it but it was on date,and it erased all of my good drawings that was great to me and it deleted everything.

So i paid for this app and now i need to subscribe to get back what i already paid for?

Disgraceful.

Lost all respect for IF.

Its alright…

The reason the title is “It’s alright…” is because

1: Linea premium is $14.99 A MONTH while Sketchbook premium is $2.99 one time!

2: text is only available with premium and Sketchbook premium has text for FREE!

The only good things about this app
————————————————————————————

1: you can make RPG character sheets

2: you can watch instructional videos

So developers of this app PLEASE update this!
