this has become my primary drawing app over the last few years, and the frequent updates make it even better. got the premium version as soon as it was added, since the price was super worth it. there are little things I'd love added or fixed, like the nudge transform arrows centering on the picture, not the screen, making me have to zoom out, and a tool/mode for pixel art would be nice (a grid, no spill over into neighboring pixels)

good app. better than most built in editing software on mobile devices. but my god is it confusing to use. especially the drawing aspect of the app. once you fumble your way around into creating a sketch where you can draw over a photograph, you're left alone to figure out the absolute nightmare of a pen system. 10% of the time it works 90% dragging around the screen doesn't draw anything

If you can properly use all the different things then this is the closest you'll ever come to Procreate without having an Apple product. everything can be moved around, especially when you're using this on your pc/laptop. there is an infinite amount of brushes and you can easily download more, a lot of different ways to choose your colors (-> copic list) and it's the best app if you do both traditional and digital art but don't want to change your style too much. great all around.
