I used to love this app, but I've just spent the last 5 hours trying to draw my Christmas card image and had the app crash every time I tried to add a layer, select anything, merge layers, or just have the temerity to draw for a little too long. Having paid for the pro version, this is frankly annoying and I'm now debating if I can save it out to finish in another app or if I'll have to start again from scratch. Either way, Artflow has become completely unusable.

Very good. I just paid for the full version. I had a problem with it sometimes not letting me paint, but turning off one of the settings (labelled "May not work") fixed it. So good. Lovely on the go. Great fit doodling, but also a fantastic set of really good brushes and tools for more advanced work.

I've been using this app (paid version) for many years. I draw on my phone with my finger, and this app has provided me a way to make beautiful art without having to pull out my laptop. There are features I'd love to see added, like CMYK color selection & export (for printing) and a few more effects. But I've tried dozens of other apps on the Play store, and I always come back to this one.
