About this app

Convert your device into a digital sketchbook with more than 80 paint brushes, smudge, fill and an eraser tool. This fast and intuitive painting and drawing application will unlock the full power of your imagination. With support for pressure sensitive pens (like Samsung's S Pen) your device will be transformed into a real canvas.

Important: this is a free application with advanced features requiring a pro license in-app purchase. Single licence purchase will activate all devices associated with your Google account.

• High performance (GPU accelerated) paint engine
• Canvases up to 6144x6144 with 50 layers*
• Stylus pressure support
• Pressure simulation for touches
• 100+ brushes and tools (including smudge tool and gradient fill)
• Create custom brushes from imported images
• Selection and selection masks

• Material design inspired, fast, fluid, intuitive and accessible user interface
• Import and export supports PNG, JPG and PSD (Photoshop Document)

Been using this app for several years. But it's crashing or not downloading heavy graphic images. If graphics are in the 6000 size scale, it wants to crash. This app hasn't been updated since 2023 and it's starting to show. Loved this app because of how large I can scale an image, but it's becoming annoying since it struggles with large png images now.

My go-to drawing app. My only complaint (and this is quite a large complaint) is that when zooming in and rotating on a drawing, the aspect ratio will occasionally stretch as I'm trying to zoom in. There seems to be no way to permanently lock the aspect ratio, so the app occasionally thinks I'm trying to stretch the drawing, instead of just zooming in.

I just started having a problem today with the color picker making a color lighter than it should've been, I tried multiple things to fix it but none worked. my final option was to try uninstalling and reinstalling the app, this had been fine in the past, I had no issues and all my art was still in the apps gallery. this time when I reinstalled the app and my gallery is completely empty. I had over a year's worth of work in that gallery and now it's all gone.
