I've only downloaded this today, but so far so good, seems OK. Downloaded it to replace two draw/sketch aps which were definitely not up to the job. A very good selection of brushes and pens. We'll see how it goes, I'm thinking about paying for the pro version though, I normally only do free. (I have upgraded recently to the paid version and to 5*. I suggest you might consider making it less easy to accidently draw on the canvas when using the pens and controls at the base of the app.)

Hi We can understand your dissatisfaction with paying for access to Pro features. Developing the app requires a lot of labor and hard work. We wouldn’t be able to develop all the Sketches Pro features if we didn’t charge a small fee, about the price of a candy bar. In fact, we wouldn’t be able to offer Sketches at all, free or paid. Best regards.

PRO: minimalistic, very good watercolor system // CONs: your app is basically unusable. undoing and redoin breaks the layers (changes the mode. important if you use a lot of layers). Minimising the app does something to the layers and I can't draw anymore when I open the app back up. Why can't I use pen pressure on all the tools? (not as big of a problem, but annoying) minimising the app and then bringing it back up one time deleted my entire drawing! so that was (not) cool please fix it!

Oh ok. NOW you decide to paywall all the tools that were already available for free?? I've been a regular user of this app since 2013. It used to be perfect. As of the recent updates it is basically unusable because you've taken away such basic features. I am really disappointed.
