Can’t Find Help For Tools
I have used a lot of drawing and painting apps. Most either have a Help available in the tool itself or the developer’s website has Help and explains the tools. I couldn’t find either making the tools confusing.
United StatesAwesome
Awesome app it has everything to create great art work. Evening if you just want to use it to color it's a great app for that to. This is a must have app. This developer really cares about his apps and his customers.
United StatesFantastic!
Do you want oil paintings and drawings that look like they were made with actual, physical paint and so forth? Get this now! This app is fantastic.
United StatesLots of fun
This is a fun app. The learning curve is easy. I'm not an artist, but I find I can draw pictures suited for a children's book. I'm having fun creating.
United StatesCannot find the toolbar
I have an iPad Pro love the app but now I can't find the tool bar
United StatesProblems with iPad Air
The new update no longer works on my iPad Air. There is no way to access the tools. It comes up with a blank sheet of paper. Not all of us have the iPad Pro. Please fix this. I do not want to lose a fine app..
United StatesBetter than expected
If you try a lot of different art apps, searching for the latest new innovations and neatest effects, this app probably won't be among your top go-to apps, but it's better than I expected it to be. It has some interesting, pleasant brushes and pencil/ink tools, and there are a generous number of them included. The shape and straight line drawing tools are among the nicest I've seen, and fun to use. The "hold to undo" (long hold for multiple undos) is a cool feature I haven't seen elsewhere. The interface is kind of nonstandard, but not horribly difficult to use. A pretty good 2nd-string art app, more thoughtfully designed than most, and not overpriced either.
