### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2026-08-24, version 28.25.1*

Way too many adds, I wanted to use black, it kept giving me pink. You have to watch more adds just to get another brush. Don't get this, I'm disappointed.

### 5/5 — O bebê gosto mais de você do que de mim

*2026-08-14*

Eu adoro esse app. Eu literalmente desenho sempre nele hehehe

### 5/5 — 먼지없는 완벽한 먼지의 메디방 리뷰✨

*2026-08-03*

프리미엄을 안하면 원하는 펜을 마음대로 고를수가 없어서 좀 아쉽지만! 원하는 퀄리티, 메디방 초보 도서관이나, 선택항목, 어떤사람의 그림도 구경할 수 있어서 참 좋은 앱인 것 같다!

### 5/5 — It’s so simple to use I only had one problem and it was because I’m bad creating accounts

*2026-08-03, version 28.23*

No words just admiration

### 3/5 — Too many trick ads

*2026-07-30, version 28.23*

Too many ads trying to trick you into pressing the wrong thing.

### 1/5 — 图层移动有bug！！能不能修一下啊

*2026-07-30, version 28.23*

修秀秀

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-07-28, version 28.23*

I heard many good stuff about this app. but now that I try it doesn’t let me even draw. What’s the point of having a app that supposed to be for drawing when I can’t even draw? Dissapointed.

### 5/5 — My 2nd favorite art app.

*2026-07-08, version 28.23*

I used to always draw on this app, and today i am redownloading it. It is a great art app, even though I switched to IbisPaintX a while ago. If you are thinking about getting it for a beginner art app, do it! It’s easy to use.-AS

### 5/5 — Bro

*2026-07-02, version 28.23*

It is better than any thing

### 1/5 — Used to love this app

*2026-06-24, version 28.23*

It has become unusable due to the sheer amount of ads, if there was a one time purchase to permanently disable ads I’d do it but the one thing I despise is subscription services/models, the Medibang version on my old iPod only has one ad when you first boot the app but you can use anything and do anything even closing and opening canvases ect without infuriating pop up ads, it’s a big shame since this used to be fantastic free app I used to recommend but now it spams ads in your face most of which are unskippable ads every second I feel it is frustrating and infuriating, I would rather have a one time payment of a paid version with no ads like Firealpaca SE but Medibang version with no subscription models, even if it was expensive for a one time permanent purchase that removes all ads completely I’d be happy. These devs have made this app a really awful experience for a free app

TLDR:
- app is now so full of ads it shoves down your throat which it never used to have

- the only way to stop ads is with an expensive subscription model 

- app is borderline unusable and unbearable and infuriating to use due to there being more ads and more features locked behind the subscription 

- this app would be better off with a one time but more expensive purchase to permanently remove ads to make this app more usable or using the option below

- make a paid version of medibang with more features than this free one that’s a one time upfront cost to get the app but has no ads and all the premium features unlocked with the purchase of the app
