You can do a surprisingly amount of stuff without buying a membership, but the adds get annoying. Literally when I try to do anything, the ads are there. If I close the app and come back, there's an ad. Wanna save the drawing? Ad. Getting ready to draw? Ad. Trying to open that time lapse? Uh oh, there’s an ad. Luckily, the ads don’t disrupt you while you are drawing, but if you try to do literally anything else there’s an ad you have to go through an annoying ad first. My advice? Just pay the twelve dollars for procreate. ### 4/5 — Blend tool *2026-08-23, version 28.25.1* This app is awesome for making manga and stuff and is a great free substitute for clip studio paint. The only thing I would really really really love is a blend tool because I’m using a lot of colors and a blend tool for shadows would be wonderful. I won’t give this 5 stars just so people can see it up front. I would just like to get through to devs. This is an awesome app and I will probably keep using it anyway. It just lost a star because it doesn’t have a blend tool. ### 4/5 — PEAK *2026-08-09, version 28.24* i love it but the ads are kinda tacky ### 2/5 — Uhm *2026-08-01, version 28.23* Not very easy to use, no lasso fill and liquidity. If there is then it’s hard to find ### 4/5 — Nice but can’t draw somtimes *2026-08-01, version 28.23* It’s nice but sometimes I can’t draw just probably im dumb because I’m more used to drawing on paper and this is my first drawing app but I can’t draw but the app is good ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2026-07-29, version 28.23* I really had fun but I can’t find the mirror tool idk if the have one but it’s really good 4/5 :) ### 4/5 — Help- *2026-07-25, version 28.23* How do you increase brush size? Please help me! Other wise I like it! ### 2/5 — Don’t understand it! *2026-07-25, version 28.23* I tried this app out before but then deleted it because I couldn’t understand it, but then I redownloaded to give it another try but I couldn’t figure it out! I mean the tools some of them you have to watch an add for them but it doesn’t even let you watch an add and at the same time it want let me draw with two different colors like what the actual heck! This app is complicated and I prefer a different app then this if your not good will complicated stuff like this.🙁 ### 2/5 — Advertising ruined this app. I don’t mind watching ads but… *2026-07-21, version 28.23* "I gave the MediBang Paint app a try on my iPad. It seems like a nice drawing application, but I'm unable to use it. Once an advertisement starts, it gets stuck on the screen and won't let me continue painting. I'm forced to close and restart the app, but as soon as another ad pops up, it freezes again. It has nice drawing features, but the app is useless because the ads ruin everything. So, I had to uninstall it. ### 5/5 — This helped me!🤩🤩 *2026-07-16, version 28.23* When I started drawing on this app I was pretty bad but when I found out that there were different settings I started drawing masterpieces!!!! ### 4/5 — new user *2026-07-13, version 28.23* i didnt know how badly i needed a change until i moved from ibispaint to medibang paint. it got me out of art block!! some features i haven’t been able to find though idk if they exist or are hidden. i haven’t explored properly yet ### 3/5 — This app is good for skilled people *2026-07-11, version 28.23* I bought this app and didn’t understand anything because I just started digital so I recommend this to skilled pros but this app is really good(I also don’t like that most off the brushes are not free and there using much good one:/ ### 5/5 — The best drawing app I’ve ever downloaded *2026-07-08, version 28.23* When I first downloaded MediBang paint, I didn’t know it would be that good. Later, I realised that it had loads of filters and fun brushes(I use the drawing pen brush ) and that it had loads of manga and comic material which I often use for making comics. everything is LITERALLY awesome! ☺️☺️ I recommend to download it, it is best best best ### 5/5 — Love! *2026-07-03, version 28.23* Just Wow! ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-03, version 28.23* Drawing comics and more it might lag but overall it’s good ### 2/5 — I’m so confused. *2026-07-02, version 28.23* I tried to draw but nothing appeared on my screen. It’s really frustrating and annoying. Idk if this is a glitch or not. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Me no likey *2026-08-23, version 28.25.1* It wouldn’t let me draw :( ### 1/5 — App quảng cáo lắm vãi lồn *2026-08-04, version 28.23* Quảng cáo đéo tắt được, liên tục, app ít tính năng, hãm tài, gói premium cắt cổ ### 1/5 — Nothing works *2026-07-30, version 28.23* Nothing works nothing works nothing works nothing works nothing works nothing works nothing works nothing works nothing works nothing works nothing works nothing works nothing ### 1/5 — Pay again for the App? Insane! *2026-07-26, version 28.23* It is ridiculous that you have to pay again for an updated version just because instead of an update now they call it a rename and it’s accessed on the as a separate download at full price. I had already paid $15 for this app and now I have to pay again to get the updated version separately.Adobe did this a few years ago with Photoshop and after pain for almost $20 they decided to go to a monthly version and disabled your app unless you pay the monthly fee. I swore I would never purchase anything from Adobe. When does the greed end? ### 1/5 — 67907rrt *2026-06-30, version 28.23* Game is BAD you can’t draw sooooo boring probably because I I’m new I I’m not good at it but it’s so BADDDDDDDDDD ### 1/5 — Not worth your sanity *2026-06-13, version 28.23* Covered in ads, it took me four hours to remove my own art off the app due to ads popping up. An ad played when I opened the art, when I saved the art, and when I closed the art. Also advertising AI to artists? Disgusting. ### 1/5 — Can’t draw *2026-06-13, version 28.23* Once I connected my Apple Pencil with the Bluetooth, it literally didn’t let me draw with my pencil or finger ### 1/5 — It was good once *2026-06-13, version 28.23* Once. Is the key word. Before the need of internet to save your work. It is official! Being able to use the app when Wi-Fi is unavailable has ended! The days when the brushes that were free now need ads to be able to use it once! App now sucks so badly that it practically killed the fun of art! ### 1/5 — It is horrible, much better to pay than this *2026-06-05, version 28.23* Drawing interface bombarded by advertisements. Need to watch like two adds to use most brushes. It’s just horrible ### 1/5 — 广告那么多想咋 *2026-05-21, version 28.21* 我这次真的不想用了已经用好几年了 一保存就给我来个广告 画笔两个广告我还画不画了 全都是广告 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sloppy wet make out with medibang *2026-08-25, version 28.25.1* Medibang has come in CLUTCH for me over the past 7-8 years!!

The user interface is intuitive and easy to figure out. ### 5/5 — AMAZING with one problem *2026-08-02, version 28.23* OK I absolutely love this but the only problem is the ads but it’s not while ur in the middle of drawing ### 5/5 — So great I would recommend it to my bff! *2026-07-30, version 28.23* I love this so much but since I hate anime ( no offense to people who do like anime) I kinda felt weird because this app was made to draw anime and idk how to draw anime but overall its soo awesome that I rate it 5 stars!🎀💗 btw a little note to the creator but can you please take the adds out ( no force but please read) ty for your time and understanding Lixa out 🎀💗 ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-07-29, version 28.23* I love it you just need to add music pls ### 5/5 — I want ads back *2026-07-28, version 28.23* Every time I wanna brush that you have to Subscribe to MediBang paint premium it gets annoying because of my mom won’t let me subscribe to it so I want ads back so I can have the three hours with that brush, so I want ads back ### 5/5 — Best game ever🥰 *2026-07-25, version 28.23* I lov MediBang but when get a tool can we have forever as long as we keep the app but I love it ### 5/5 — I loveeeee this app :D *2026-07-19, version 28.23* Why r half the people writing reviews dandy’s world fans?
