Reviews

Decent

It’s alright, the thing I don’t like was how little you can zoom in—I’m the type of person who zooms in to draw details and stuff but overall it’s great.


DEVS PLEASE READ

I love using this app and it’s my go-to for sketches but there’s just a few things i’d love to see change with this app. 1. Allow users to upload an image from iCloud Files. I understand iCloud may be your competition. The only way to work around it was for me to download the Adobe Creative Cloud app, and from there I was able to upload from iCloud Files into Creative Cloud. Why make the process so long, when you could allow files to be transferred directly from iCloud Files into Adobe Sketch. 2. When uploading an image, allow users to turn on/off rotation snapping. I’m unable to rotate images to my liking due to this perfect angle snapping feature. I’m aware you have this feature on PC but would love to see this brought to the app as well. 3. Allow users to zoom in more. Sometimes with having a size 6/8 pt brush, it’s still even hard to draw a straight line without using the line shape tool. WE WANT PIXELATED ZOOM VIEWS! Thanks for reading and hope you take my suggestions into consideration!


Deleted all my art after auto logging me out.

This was the first drawing app I got with my iPad to use with my brandy new apple pencil (wheeee) It worked fairly well, not too many functions, but it was manageable. I moved onto Sketchbook for more functions. Recently I reopened Adobe Sketch (and Adobe illustrator, which I had too) and it told me that it had logged me out of my account. When I finally scraped together my credentials and logged back in, ALL OF MY WORK WAS GONE. I know Adobe can be a bit of a money trap, but this was low. I’m still not sure how or why this happened, but just use a different app if you’re looking to have and KEEP a bunch of drawings.

Almost perfect for my needs.

Would have given it 5 stars but I can’t figure out how to rotate an image without accidentally changing the size. The two finger turning is too hard to keep accurate. There should be a way to lock an image size and rotate it so that the size isn’t accidentally changed and to rotate while pinning it in the center. But for sketching and painting l love it!


Deleted. My. Document.

I don’t know what happened, but after 6 hours of working on a project for school. It. Deleted. My. Work. And. Wasn’t. Recoverable. Lol. That should probably be fixed. Being able to recover documents is a simple service on every app. Or at least seeing the history. Not sure why this one would be different. Very disappointed. Wasted a whole lot of time with this app.


Keeps crashing
nickysonbo

Not bad but it keeps crashing otherwise 5 stars


really good for a free app!
this is trish?

it’s my first time doing digital art and I enjoyed the experience. the only problem that I have is that there is no fill in feature. like a feature where a shape you draw can be filled in with a color. this is a pretty basic feature that I think could be easily added. But overall my experience was really good and I did it using my iPhone and finger :)


Issues
