Just what I was looking for...

Essential.

Best app out there for vector sketching!

There’s a bug or two with selecting colors, but otherwise they have pretty much nailed UI with respect to how I was to sketch on the iPad: tolerance is front and center, so details can be made with no auto smoothing, and long lines can be made with more smoothing. The virtual keys also mean I can work with expected shortcuts.

I use it for sketching only though, not sure how it works for other things.

Wish they would update

Exporting is a problem

JPEG option downloads as png and it takes a lot of waiting and many tries to get any of the file versions to save to Google Drive. I’m using a 2019 iPad Pro...

importing photos no longer works in iPad IOS 13

Importing photos in Protosketch no longer works for iPad IOS 13 the latest. Says it can't finf them although i have permissions turned on in settings. This is crucial for me, can you please do an update? Some of the other things about importing symbols does not work but only oartially & often selects the wrong image either. Although the layers menu is there, the navigation doesn't fully work, visible invisible only works once & then freezes. Sorry about my posting here but there seems no other way to contact you. Please fix - otherwise a fantastic app. i fdo see i can save but first you have to allow photo to access - but it still doen't work for importing.
