I tried to undo it but the whole page turned blank for some reason and ruined my drawing, please fix this because it took hours. ### 4/5 — Not bad *2026-06-25, version 3.9* I use this app all the time for drawing. There are a few things that annoy me though, I will list them out. The fill in with color bucket doesn't get the color all the way to the pen or pencil line, and it leaves a small gap. Another thing is it usually glitches pretty bad when you try to blend 2 colors. It doesn't do that all the time, but when it does it's really annoying, and it won't let me undo it and my drawing is messed up. There might be a few more things I'm missing. Now, there are a lot of GOOD THINGS: about the app too. I didn't expect it to have layers, and it turned out it did, which I love. I am so happy that you can pick any color from on your screen so you don't have to look through all your colors and find them. The app is really easy to use so there's nothing to get confused about. I also love sending my art to friends, so I love that you can just send it from the app. I have a few SUGGESTIONS: for the app though. Starting with tracing. A lot of artists like using a background image to trace over for reference. Another thing is there should be a way you can make an animation, like a short movie by mashing a bunch of pictures together to make a video, which is something I really want. I would love if we would be able to see someone else's art if they like share it or something on the app, so I can get ideas. NOTE FOR THE OWNER: Thank you so much for making this app, I am very grateful. I use it almost every day and I love it so much. Thank you! ### 4/5 — New update means new bugs *2025-08-16, version 4.0* Been using this app for a while and I love it, but the most recent update has caused the cut tool to crash the app almost every time i use it. Hopefully this will be patched soon bc the new update has been such a game changer for my art. ### 3/5 — I love Scetch tree *2025-07-20, version 4.0* It is so relaxing ### 3/5 — It’s good, but it’s not great *2025-07-18, version 4.0* Every time I try to smudge (blend) on here it always erases the coloring I did on the layer. Also, with the new update how to you make a new project? This new update as complications that weren’t there before. ALSO, why is it landscape?! Who draws landscape!? No one! No one draws landscape. ### 4/5 — It’s good, but it’s not great *2025-05-22, version 3.9* Every time I try to smudge (blend) on here it always erases the coloring I did on the layer ### 5/5 — .٧٧.٩٢٩٦٤٥١ *2025-03-19, version 3.9* التطبيق جميل لكنه ليش موضح بشكل كافي للمستخدم ولا يتوفر فيه أنواع الفرش الأرفع لبعض الرسمات الخاصة ### 4/5 — Sketch tree *2024-11-24, version 3.9* This app is pretty good a little confusing at first but it is fun ### 5/5 — ILove it so much *2024-11-12, version 3.9* I think it is a perfect game for drawing, and it always keeps me entertained ### 5/5 — Sketch tree is the best sketch app in all of the UNIVERSE🩷😊!!!!!!!!! *2024-11-10, version 3.9* Sketch tree is a very fun app to practice drawing digital!

Here is why. The smudge brush can make a glitch. The smudge brush quite litterally had me in tears when I had finished a drawing for an animation and accidentally used the smudge brush that went through ALL my layers and the undo button didn’t work. I tried reseting the app and nothing worked. The array of brushes is limited. I want a brush that can be big, doesn’t layer, and that is smooth. It’s really hard to use random brushes for base layers. Rendering is impossible. There is no tool that is even close to okay with rendering. I found it extremely hard to render because the airbrush was hard to use. ### 1/5 — Had it for 3 minutes *2024-04-10, version 3.9* OK, so when I first started, it was kind of amazing then I got to the sketching bit and I hated it. It’s way too blocky. The lines are too stiff. I couldn’t draw like I normally do. This is OK but also terrible please if you’re looking for a good to draw use Procreate I know it might be expensive but it’s worth every penny anyways thank you for reading this but don’t get this app. ### 1/5 — Awful! *2023-12-28, version 3.9* When I am using sketch tree the layers DO NOT work! It either combines two together or deletes it entirely! There is a limited amount of brushes which isn’t great. It is really hard to get out of canvases because you have to zoom out. Before I didn’t know that and I had to delete EVERY DRAWING I DID! This app is rubbish and I do not recommend! ### 1/5 — AHHH ITS SO HARD TO MAKE IT BIGGER AND SMALLER *2023-07-04, version 3.9* i liked it UNTIL I DISCOVERED THAT YOU HAVE TO PINCH TO GET OUT OF THE CANVAS plz fix dis thank you I WILL GIVE YOU 5 STARS ### 1/5 — No instruction *2023-02-20, version 3.9* Color choices disappeared and can’t get them to show up again. The ruler does not allow me to draw and have to delete everything or reinstall app to get it to work ### 1/5 — It’s not letting me change the colors *2022-12-11, version 3.9* It’s not working ### 1/5 — ITS NOT LETTING ME DRAW HOw DO I DRAW *2022-10-07, version 3.9* It not letting me draw and it makes me so mad😡 I keep trying to draw but it’s alllllllllllllllllllllllllll just white and I look I’m using the brush not eraser and I was so excited to get this and draw but no I HATR THIS APP bc it’s not letting me drawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww😡🤬🤬😡🤬🤬🤬😡😡🤬🤬😡😡😡 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A very great app *2026-06-20, version 3.9* I love this app and it's very great to use. I love how all of it is free and nice. I also love how you can add a photo to it and learn how to draw that photo. It's a very great app to have fun in drawing and learning how to draw for beginners. I have heard that players are saying that when choosing your own color, you can only use it once but what you have to do is once you choose the color, you have to click the check mark at the bottom and it will save forever. - Hudy S. ### 5/5 — WONDERFUL! 😍👏 *2025-12-12* I have an IPad 3 and it couldn't instal any app for drawn.
