This is such a good app!! Great for really experienced digital artists, people who want to start or just the average person with a creative mind!! I love that you have so many brushes and the option for so many colours. The best part is that it is all free!!!! If you are reading this because you aren't sure whether to get this or not, go for it!!!! Its amazing!!!

I love this app, the layer function is great and I can import images, including png images. I'm making images for a dungeons and dragons campaign I'm making for my friends to play and this does everything I need. My only gripe (it's small) would be the lack of artistic function in text. There are so few fonts and no creative options other than colour changes and size change/transform to lettering. Gradient text colouring would be wonderful and anything would be the cherry on top! Thanks!

Alright, I have been using this app for around 2 years now, It has been pretty decent for a free app with no ads. But, i'm giving it 3 stars for several issues I had, first issue was the limited amount of fonts, but I believe this to be an issue only some have since my friend has a wider range of fonts. My second issue is that when you save a piece of work and try come back to it, it doesn't load, ever, only on seemingly random occasions, if you have any fixes to this problem please help.
