### 3/5 — 找不到它的漫画分割功能

*2026-08-12*

如题

### 4/5 — Happy

*2026-08-07, version 4.15*

My Ibis paint freezes but this is a really great drawing app more controls and good brushes but why do we need a time limit???

### 4/5 — 如果能加入笔刷就很好了！

*2026-08-06*

其实这个软件整体我体验的很好，功能挺全的，不过笔刷太少了，而且跟热门绘画软件相比也不差，唯一缺点就是笔刷太少！！！这个问题很关键，所以少的这颗星是这个原因，我也是花钱买的，很多人也反馈这个问题，希望能真正的解决问题！而不是口头说说！你这样辜负的是我们一群真正热爱这个软件的画画人的心！

### 4/5 — Add more tools

*2026-08-06*

Blur and drag brush, more effects, reference window, shape tool for the eraser, more configurations for the brushes, etc.

### 4/5 — 好用

*2026-08-04*

好用就是只有两个小时的绘画时间

### 3/5 — Em, speedpaint?

*2026-07-27, version 4.14*

I cannot find the speedpaint button? Where can I find the replay? Is it even here?

### 3/5 — 是显时

*2026-07-24*

只能用120分钟

### 3/5 — 太单一

*2026-07-24*

画起来真的巨无聊🙄能不能多加点笔刷？而且动不动就弹个广告，不想修复就滚

### 4/5 — 很好的一个软件

*2026-07-22*

整体来说挺不错的，就是能多加点笔刷就好了

### 3/5 — 看完广告无法获得使用时长

*2026-07-20*

没有专门涂抹的功能

### 2/5 — Laggy

*2026-07-20, version 4.13*

Want to say I enjoy this app but I’m finding that the brushes and selection tool have a delay to them and it’s starting to become frustrating while drawing, along with having to press buttons several times in order to use them.

### 3/5 — 手感不错，就是Ui太复杂，用不习惯

*2026-07-14*

为什么现在iPad上打不开啊

### 4/5 — Add

*2026-07-05, version 4.12.1*

Please add a way to record the drawing process pls

### 2/5 — 。

*2026-07-01*

不知道为什么，我都看了两十多遍广告了，还是延长不了，笔刷该有的都有，这广告我都快背下来了，还是延长不了

### 5/5 — 油漆桶上色太牛了吧

*2026-06-30*

今天才用的上色功能 牛的一批(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧太好用了 不用选区就可以在新建的空白图层上面直接用油漆桶分区上色  没闭合的线也只需要在新图层补上就可以填充！非常棒啊！

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-06-30, version 4.12*

This game helped me become a better drawer and has the BEST stuff with it

### 2/5 — Timelapse??!

*2026-06-26, version 4.11*

I couldn't find timelapse function! I've searched everywhere... if it doesn't have it it is REALLY disappointing, what's even the point of the app if it doesn't have timelapse function

### 5/5 — very recommended and useful

*2026-06-05, version 4.10*

It’s a nice app and free. Recommended if you don’t mind a few ads.

### 3/5 — Good!

*2026-06-05, version 4.10*

It is indeed a good app but why doesn’t it have timelapse recording like the original medibang?

### 1/5 — Plus rien ne va...

*2026-06-05*

Fermeture intempestive de l'application, la sauvegarde marche 1 fois sur 2, impossible d'exporter car ça ferme l'application, toujours très lent... :C

### 1/5 — I regret paying for this glitchy app

*2026-04-14, version 4.7*

Tools not responsive and can’t find anything in this update wish I hadn’t bought oh well

### 1/5 — Good but bad

*2026-02-22, version 4.3.1*

It’s just that the game itself is good but the game only gives you like a short of time to draw and you get 30 minutes or you have to pay to get it

### 1/5 — My take on how to fix this app

*2026-01-28, version 4.2*

Please to god get rid of the ads that won’t let you use the whole app til you watch them, and let more freedom to use it whenever you’d like 

for ads do it for the brushes instead people are more patient with that and they can’t just use the creative brushes for free honestly id be so much more patient with that and still be able to draw 

So fix this please, every thing else is honestly great or even okay to be honest but that thing pisses me off the most

That’s all I had to say and many other people have said this over and over again.

### 1/5 — Very good app to learn about art but…

*2026-01-24, version 4.2*

Like I said great app and very good app about art but I do not know how to change colors??? can someone explain to me how to do that!!?? (change colors) like pls!!  Pls reply!!! Also this is still a great app to try but can someone help me with that?? If u THANK U!!!! JUST PLS REPLY TO TELL ME PLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank u for reading this if you do ^v^

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time.

*2026-01-01, version 4.0.1*

The ads make it unusable. Just buy Procreate or Krita instead.

### 1/5 — Difficult

*2025-12-22*

This app is difficult to use, i can’t find a blending tool and the buttons don’t make sense, I can’t put multiple brushes saved so I need to hunt through them, the fill tool is really bad it won’t fill it will leave like 1/4 unfilled, I find it’s not worth the app, also I waited like 20 minuets and I downloaded the phone version then I had to get the iPad version after (just keep 1 version it’s annoying), there is good things… that I cannot think of… I suggest you look for a better app

### 1/5 — Mediocre at best

*2025-10-31, version 3.3*

I usually don’t write reviews but I felt compelled to write one for this app. Where do I start, for starters it functions like the other shoddy ripoff of procreate, hipaint. Except hipaint at least has a liquify tool and allows you to create animations just like procreate. This app is bare bones at best and not really worth the price. I would advise to artist of any level to look elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2025-10-28*

Программа просто застывает на логотипе и не включается

### 1/5 — 오류가 너무 많음

*2025-10-24*

갑자기 캔버스 줄이는게 안되고 올가미 사용도 안될때가 많아요 그 흔한 타임랩스 기능이랑 픽셀유동화 기능도 없고… 돈값을 다 하진 못하네요

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2026-08-04, version 4.14*

I’d say better than ibispaint x if it allowed us to put more references in the reference box

### 5/5 — Great but is anyone waning to know where the colors are?

*2026-08-03, version 4.14*

Idk if it’s just my stupid self but idk how to change to color😔 but great overall and this app has to get more then 23k likes because this is just soooo good I’d recommend this to my 2 artists friends 😁😁Lixa out💗🎀

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-08-02, version 4.14*

The whole version of the app was 9.99 the brushes are customizable n stuff.

### 5/5 — ₍^˶ ╸𖥦 ╸˵^₎⟆♡

*2026-07-27*

好用

### 5/5 — good

*2026-07-22*

这里的笔刷很多很多很喜欢🥰

### 5/5 — 好！

*2026-07-19*

软件超级好用

### 5/5 — Possible Inconsistencies of Reference Window Display

*2026-07-11*

Different from what's shown on website tutorial (settings-options-show references), there seems to be no such feature on iOS devices (both iPhone and iPad, version 4.13).
By the way, I really appreciate your efforts to make Paletta better in each update!

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2026-07-08, version 4.12.1*

Take the time limit off and I’ll use this everyday

### 5/5 — 好

*2026-07-06*

个人感觉这款软件挺好的 适合用来练习画画的宝宝 画稿子之类的就不推荐了 每天只有两个小时的使用时间 可以充钱或者看广告

### 5/5 — Free, good brush selection, layers

*2026-07-05*

Has all the bells and whistles i need for art. Layers, many fun to use brushes.

Easy to learn, it takes some tinkering and googling if you’re generally new to art apps but not much. interface is simple, easy on the eyes, which is a big plus for me personally. After 2 hours you need to watch ads to use the app, but they’re pretty sparse. I personally prefer it over ads taking up space the entire time I’m drawing.
