After using this for a while, I think it's not worth its price. Maybe it is fine for the PC drawing, but definitely not for Android. It has abysmal UI, which was clearly not been throughfully tested. Yes, you get a lot of features, but most of these are hidden so deep inside the UI, that each time you just start hating yourself for spending so much time on unnecessary clicking. Simple mode is useless compared to the competitor apps as well for a lower price. Regretting the purchase.

We appreciate your feedbacks and will continue working to improve the UI. In Studio Mode, you can add specific tools or tool operations to the Command Bar via Clip Studio icon > "Command Bar Settings". Also, you can assign shortcut keys to specific actions via the "Shortcut Settings", or streamline your workflow using the "Quick Access" palette.

I bought this game thinking it would let me in straight away, but I had no idea why I had to pay to sign in so I tried clicking a different button. But I realised it only gives me an hour to draw. It even keeps sending me out randomly. Please CELSYS.Inc, fix the problem as fast as you can and extend the time to draw. 😞

We have changed the free usage allowance for the smartphone from one hour per day to 30 hours per month in Ver. 2.3.0. Please update the app to the latest version to take advantage of this change. Also, signing up for a Clip Studio account is free. Logging in also allows you to apply for a 30-day free trial or three months of free usage!

It's an awesome app! I think 30 hours a month for free is reasonable. It's pretty easy to use, great brush variation too. There are no ads, either! Since I have used this app, I have not used Ibis Paint X is a while. I love both apps, don't get me wrong, but I absolutely LOVE Clip Studio. You can download a lot of brush sets, too. Also to import an image you hold the button that you use to add a layer. Overall, I LOVE this app! I very much recommend this app to people. Good experience on my end!
