Sketchbook

My absolute favorite app for sketching and painting digitally. Easy to use, a nice range of mediums, and a comfortable interface (everything is placed perfectly and organized well) make this my favorite digital sketchbook. It has always been reliable with little to no lagging unlike other apps. Thank you for freeing me to just play with art in an easy-to-use way that puts the fun in function.

Been using this app for years and the only problems I've had are occasional lag. That also might be my fault for having a million tabs open lol. Unfortunately no clipping masks, but you can use the magic wand tool to make due. The selection of brushes is wide, and completely customizable. I've also never run out of layers; dunno if there's a limit, but it's pretty large if there is lol. I adore this app and will keep using it for the years to come :)

I really love this app. It's easy to use, the layout is simple, and it's just an amazing app overall. While there are a few bugs and problems in it, they are very minor issues that can be resolved. I use both Ibis Paint and Sketchbook, but I prefer Sketchbook because of it's layout. But anyways, it's an awesome and an easy-to-learn drawing app that I highly recommend.

Wonderful app! I can actually create things without having to pay a subscription or anything! only think that could be a ton better and effects functionality is that since the tip size changer is only a slide bar with no "+,-" so quite hard to get detailed and if you use the fill bucket it leaves a white line between the prior line and the filled in area

I've been using this app since I began my digital art journey and it's pretty solid for my drawing needs. The base app has all the tools one could ask for, though admittedly doesn't have all the brushes that an app like Ibis Paint would have. Pay a couple bucks for Pro on mobile and get access to even more brush downloads and useful tools. Minimalistic design and NO ADS WHATSOEVER makes it easy to focus on drawing and easy to navigate. Highly recommend for beginners and pros alike.

It is an astounding piece of art in and of itself. The program itself truly is without peer. BUT: The program STILL loses work and layers at random and it has now cost me more than just a lot of time and efforts. Three stars removed. I am actively testing replacements due to the unreliable nature of Sketchbook. This is not a program for professionals in this state. Terrible because it is just so satisfying to use...

I really love this app. The tools are intuitive and easy to work with. I highly recommend to any artist that wants to sketch on the go. The only problem I have, is that unlike the list of recent colors used, there is not a similar function for brushes and pencils. It is trial and error to find one used before. Please fix this!t Thanks for an amazing app!

Good app for sketching, drawing and coloring/painting. The only negative experience I have had is that sometimes when exporting a drawing containing multiple layers it doesn't rastorize correctly on the first try. When this happens it will usually go through on the second try and there isn't a loss of work as the saving of the artwork-in-progress within the program works fine.

Very good let's you do a lot of different technics. Never gave me problems. All It needs is a bit more editing tools ,simple ones like cut , copy and paste , maybe even background eraser (seems like all edit apps have) and it would be an all in one powerhouse of an artist app . I've searched other apps for the same but nothing comes close . Idk if most of them are made for kids but sure seems like it .

I love your app because other apps are difficult to pick up and run with. This one only took me a second and I still haven't learned every skill. The only problem I have with the basic version is that when I merge a lot of lthere's there's a ghosting effect. I found when I shut it down and reopen it and correct itself. Maybe it's a cache issue? Not dumping correctly. I'm not sure. I'm curious to see what I can do with the proversion. Thank you.

Lately I've been losing whole works of art and/or layers missing after the app crashes on the galaxy note 10.1 2014. This is a really good app but marred but constant crashing and loss of hours of work. I want to recommend it but as it stands it just needs to updated (for the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) at least). If it wasn't for the crashing this would be the best app on android currently. Looks like I will have to find an alternative until this is working properly.

I think the app is genuinely great for what it is, what it provides, and what you can do on it. My only gripe with this app is that since I'm on Android, my files sometimes randomly revert progress or flat out become dead weight due to the way they are saved. It creates a second file that must not be deleted or altered. Otherwise, you lose ALL ACCESS to that drawing inside the app. For that, I hate using the service because I don't know when the next time my files will be reverted or corrupted.

I love it this app and all of the amazing mediums you can use to create with. Each tool, wether brush, pen, or spray paint has a wealth of customization options and it is extremely reactive and sensitive to the pressure applied. I just wish it would change to an eraser or you could program it to change with the push of the s-pen button. Would save a lot of time.

it's great, there's literally no ads at all, which is amazing. however, there is a glitch where if you're coloring, it will randomly start trying to layer each brush stroke. it doesn't happen often, but whenever it does happen, it's always on an important artwork. oh, and when you save an artwork, it'll also save the file in your gallery, but when you delete the file from the gallery, you can't edit the drawing anymore. other than those things, it's a great app for beginners.

I really like this app bc a lot of other drawing apps are really confusing to me, but this one is easy to use. It's really good for edits and just random drawings. My only issue is that whenever I save a drawing, there are two blank images next to it in the gallery, and whenever I delete them, I can't edit the drawing anymore, so if you fixed that, it would be greatly appreciated.

The app is amazing I use it every time I want to draw and I love everything about it there's just two specific problems, sometimes I don't create a whole new sketch bc sometimes I start more than one project at a time so every time I go to save a drawing then save another one it over writes the first one I saved? And I can't get it back once it's gone it's gone also once I make a new sketch in gallery I can't go back into one of my old ones, please fix these issues

A very good and fun app to use, and zero adds make the experience smoother. With the premium bundle however, there were no instructions on how to use the new features, which led to an hour of confused scrolling on the help center on the site. And as for glitches- when I attempt to use the text tool it works for a few moments, however the app then laggs and crashes. And yes it will constantly happen. This is EXTREMELY annoying, and makes me almost quit on the spot. Can you PLEASE fix this bug?
