User reviews

✌️

very nice app! (^^)

great app!

I honestly found the app amazing it has so much potential but in my opinion I feel like there should be an option to delete layers quick (swipe left/right to delete)

Nice app

Definitely one of the nicest free-to-use drawing programs, and convenient even if you don't use Pixiv. And it doesn't have invasive ads which is always a plus.

This is alright for free!

The tools are limited but good enough to get some sketching in quickly.

손그림 복사 붙여넣기 가능

아이패드 그림은 처음이여서 제일 손그림이랑 비슷한걸 하려고 여러 앱 깔았는데 이게 제일 좋습니다! 간단하도 사용하기도 쉬워요
