Easy to use

Paper is a fun app to doodle in! Controls are basic and easy to use. I love it.

It’s good for a time

I started using the app after I saw it being recommended and it was honestly really good! It was simple and easy to understand the features and I honestly didn’t need to pay (staying on the free tier) because I was only using it for coloring. Didn’t heat up my iPad either. I didn’t know that even the free tier had a trial and that when it ended it would restrict even the basic tools like pen sizes unless you pay. Very cash-grabby move on their part. Will be finding a better alternative which honestly sucks. I hope they do better in the future.

Evernote Lock-in

Redownloaded Paper after a few years away to attempt to access some older notes. The content is all wiped with the migration to Evernote, an app well known for its lock-in. Great at note taking, horrible for long term support.

Genuinely what is this app

I’d give it zero stars if I could. I’m not downloading Evernote, but if I want to save my drawings, or make an account, I have to download that useless app. It won’t let you skip the ages long tutorial and the drawing tools aren’t even good. I just want to put my digital art into a digital moving sketchbook. You lowk can’t use this app unless you pay for it AND download a whole different app??

Its too expensive. 🙁

I would go ahead and say that I love this app, with zero hesitation. Its just that when I realised that you get 10 pages only, I knew something was up. I then saw that its ridiculously expensive and that there was no point in me ever using it again because of the terrible prices. The worst part about it, is that I like the style! Its simple, enjoyable, and not too overly comp and overwhelming. Im really disappointed as I would love to use it but Im not paying £10 a week so I can use it every now and then.

Honestly…

Everything about the app and features fine but seriously, why just everything be subscription based? I just want a one lifetime purchase ugh!! There’s hardly any grand updates happening that requires a weekly or annual payment….. can we live with less greed going around please….

They want to kill this app

This app got bought by Evernote who is so greedy and desperate to consume a perceived competitor and destroy it. They want to deter us all from using this app. I don’t know why. I loved this app, but if you’re a weekly subscriber, it’ll cost you up to $400 a year to use this app. There is nothing else like it and they know that. Awful company.

Cool app I guess

The app is really cool but seriously… $10 a WEEK or $100 a year is pretty outrageous

A virtual moleskin with your own roll of art supplies

For the analog artist who wants to make beautiful work on the go. No graphs and planning, no learning layers, just pick a tool and size (I like the pencil on large) and draw as though it’s all real under your hand. I’m obsessed. There’s no better program for a real artist.

Very nice app!! +reccomendation

I love paper!! It’s great to organize and create. My one recommendation is to remove the yellow cast from the notebooks you aren’t clicked on if that makes sense. 💗

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

Nah

It’s incredibly too difficult to get it to sync from my iPad to my phone. I’ve tried dozens of times. Gonna try a different app out.

Frustrating

It’s not very user friendly to use. It’s confusing and for some reason, it does not let you use all the different options of tools to draw/paint with. I’m not sure why and cannot figure out how to do a free style draw using all tools or even just use all tools with a provided book. Very frustrating

App won’t load

Since the last update the app won’t open. Just get stuck on loading.

Expensive rental

This kind of app should be a one time sell, not rental. Greedy monkeys in this new regeneration. Get Procreate App, it’s not just better than this trash, but you pay one time to own it, not rent it

$10 a week is absolutely crazy

you get 10 pages for free and then you have to pay a subscription. Before it used to be that some of the tool were behind a paywall idk why they changed it. such a greedy company
