Lack of a lotta tools like procreate 2. Glitches ### 3/5 — Abusa muito *2026-07-06* O app abusa muito da versão premium. ### 2/5 — Is it just me or… *2026-06-29, version 4.4* It won’t work and is not like it’s it says it is don’t get it… ### 4/5 — Its alright… *2026-06-01, version 4.4* 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! ### 2/5 — Gone *2026-04-25, version 4.3.7* I drew a sketch on my first day and the next day it disappeared, and I had to restart ### 3/5 — None existent iPhone coloring bummer *2026-04-18, version 4.3.7* I’m new at digital artwork and was hoping that I could get started here. However I was not able to color anything, even after I finished multiple sketches it still would not let me color. It may be the fact that I downloaded it on my iPhone. Other than that I think it is a wonderful app that others can enjoy. But if you are someone who likes to color your sketches after you’ve sketched them beware if you are doing this on iPhone. ### 4/5 — Application est bien, mais il manque beaucoup de choses *2026-04-09* Donc déjà le prix est assez cher, pour ce qui propose ensuite ce qui est dommage c’est qu’il y a pas de forme, on peut utiliser le dessin certes mais je l’utilise aussi pour faire des notes c’est là où ça coince. C’est dommage qu’on peut pas utiliser comme bloc-notes, alors qu’il y a tout ce qu’il faut pour ça manque de forme comme un Freeform et merci de faire des promos niveau du prix. ### 3/5 — I can't find colors 😢 *2026-03-18, version 4.3.7* I download this on my phone so I can draw but when I tried to find how to change the colors I couldn't find it anywhere I tried everything but still can't find it I think I might have to try something else. ### 2/5 — With over 400 sketches the app takes 2 minutes to fully load *2026-03-10, version 4.3.7* Having used this app for over 5 years now I have 473 sketches on my M1 iPad Pro. When opening the app, it now takes about 2 mins 30 seconds to finish loading in all the sketches before it is usable. It would be great if recent sketches can be cached and the rest loaded async. Another issue I have is not being able to start with the canvas locked by default, but that’s not too difficult to work around. ### 4/5 — :D *2026-03-03, version 4.3.7* Perfect for drawing🍪 ### 3/5 — This app is alright *2025-12-21, version 4.3.7* I think the app is good, but there are some things that is dislike about it. The app is slow and takes forever to load, even after the developers said they fixed that problem. Also, I know that the app is probably meant more for tablets or iPads, but it’s very difficult to use on my iPhone. I do think this app is nice to use every now and then, but I wouldn’t highly recommend it. ### 4/5 — I love this app but… *2025-11-21, version 4.3.7* Recently I’ve been trying to use the app and it doesn’t load all my projects or it takes forever. And when I try to draw it doesn’t work. When I try to add a picture it also doesn’t load the picture or it doesn’t let me choose the picture. Please fix this if possible ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stoped letting me draw *2026-07-30, version 4.4* Amazing app, I am glad a lot of the original bugs where fixed, but now I can not draw at all, all of my brushes turned into erasers, and I can not figure out how to fix it, I can not draw at all on this drawing app, I am looking for others to us, I love this app, but right now it is unuseabul ### 1/5 — ...... *2026-06-17, version 4.4* 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. ### 1/5 — So i paid for this app and now i need to subscribe to get back what i already paid for? *2026-06-07, version 4.4* Disgraceful. Lost all respect for IF. ### 1/5 — Nice app but horrible sales policy *2026-05-02* I bought a lifetime app in 2017, they add a new plan in 2019, Linea link - I bought it. They changed again in 2022 for a subscription plan. I try it one year only. No new features to justify this kind of plan more expensive than the initial lifetime price. Now I can still use Linea on my iPad but there are constant reminders to buy the premium plan. I believe I give enough money to get rid of this annoying message ( I don’t want the new features just a way to cancel these messages. ### 1/5 — horrible app *2026-02-25, version 4.3.7* this app crashes all the time and my Ipad is a pro model I just bought. It completely lacks in basic tools. Don't waste your time. ### 1/5 — Theifs *2026-02-10, version 4.3.7* Like other people say, I paid for features and they DELETED MY APP I PAID FOR and replaced it with an inferior version now have to pay for a second time to get back what I paid for in the past. Linda Sketch is the Destiny 2 of apps. TRUST BROKEN. DELETE AND AVOID., ### 1/5 — Not good *2025-11-15, version 4.3.6* Really glitchy to be honest ### 1/5 — Can’t use *2025-11-02, version 4.3.6* Well I was excited to try but I can’t even use it. It is stuck with the spinning wheel of death stating it is LOADING SKETCHES. The problem is, I DO NOT HAVE ANY SKETCHES TO LOAD! I JUST DOWNLOADED THE PROGRAM!!! ### 1/5 — Using 2 iPad pro’s Gen. 6 *2025-10-14, version 4.3.6* Crashes all the time ### 1/5 — Nul *2025-08-19* Je trouve très nul car il y a beaucoup de bug et mes dessin disparaissent il n’y a plus aucun dessin et je suis en plein travail quand soudain il quitte l’application et donc quand je réouvre l’application il n’y à plus mon travail et je dois tout recommencer et c’est fatiguant. ( message pour l’inventeur) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So a few years ago I played this app *2026-08-18, version 4.4* So a long time ago I played this app I love it BUT people said it was bad over rated it was horrible 😱 comments I thought this drawing app is underrated ### 5/5 — IN LOVE 😍😍😍😍 *2026-08-09, version 4.4* My new favorite app for drawing is this. you can make colors use a bunch of tools and it has layers! That’s not even my favorite part, because you can still do all this stuff for free! Unlike other apps where you have to pay a subscription fee just to change the size, in this app you can do it for free! if you’re looking at this DOWNLOAD THIS APP NOW!!!!!! What are you waiting for HURRY!!!! ### 5/5 — Very cool :) *2026-08-06, version 4.4* Honestly, it was very easy to use. Well, it was hard until I got used to it, but to be honest? It’s amazing! The app got me more motivated in drawing, even though I was a bit lazy in some of my drawings. But, jokes aside I think this app was very cool and pretty useful. 5 stars. ### 5/5 — 앞에 보이려고 별5개 줘요 *2026-07-19* 좋네요. 브러쉬도 넉넉하고. 워터브러쉬가 premium 이라는 것은 좀 아쉽자만요. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-06-19, version 4.4* 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 ### 5/5 — So good *2026-04-09, version 4.3.7* So good I can draw anything I want I can draw anything like anything no paying for anything it is so fun it is so addicting like you could draw any time like any time you could Even s ee what shade you want it is. Sooo fun, love. It. And you guys should get it so so so so fun it’s like your. In a dream you should get it ### 5/5 — So good! *2026-03-14, version 4.3.7* Every Time I want to do a animation you don’t even have to pay so I love it I love this app I do actually so bye ### 5/5 — AMAZING APP✨✨ *2026-02-16, version 4.3.7* This app was made by a digital artist because the way that it solves all the problems in the other art apps Is AMAZING It is very simple and easy to use and there are many tutorials, beginner friendly 👌 The different brushes are rich and excellent I would definitely recommend a try👍 ### 5/5 — Real good, wish there were more layers *2026-01-01, version 4.3.7* I was gonna make a joke ab the color select tool not working (“Linea I neeed this! My color select tool’s kinda broken :c) but the update fixed it so yay! I wish I had more than 5 layers though that gets annoying since I have to merge all the time. I was born to be a layer monster, you are constricting me/silly. Anyway great app! Edit: Ohh right it does crash sometimes but I can usually tell when that’s about to happen and like I just duplicate the sketch This might’ve been fixed in the update idk ### 5/5 — I love the app but... *2025-11-30, version 4.3.7* I really love the app but I just don't know how to change the colors and this don't affect the rate but I want the developerrs to tell me I can change the color if I can.
