Price is a joke

$20 a month on the LITE plan is an absolute joke for such a basic simple app. I wouldn’t even lay $20 ONE TIME PURCHASE for this app. And you want $240 a year. This greedy subscription culture needs to be stopped. Get real. Other reviews are all botted.

Predatory and overpriced

There is no universe in where this app is worth 10 USD a week and the free version is a trial that if I forget to cancel, will charge me that for a week. Genuinely one of the greediest pricing schemes I’ve come across. I used to really enjoy this app for its simplicity, but that simplicity does not justify prices id expect from adobe.

Good app but...

It is a great app for drawing and journaling but the fact that its 10 $$$ a week is just... But otherwise 🔥🔥🔥

I hate this app

You basically can’t do anything if you don’t have a subscription it’s not very fun

Drawing application

It is beautiful and I became an artist because of the application. Thank you and I advise everyone to download the application
