Crashes Galore

Do not buy this app in its current state! It will crash often without warning, destroying all traces of any work you’ve done.
The fun of real paint without the mess!

Or the expense. Being able to just squirt paint onto the canvas and smoosh it around is great fun. My only complaint it that the rounds do not seem to behave exactly as a round should at the end of a stroke. There is not enough tapering off, especially for those who would shape their brushes especially for that purpose. I have fiddled with the settings and cannot seem to do fix this.

Does a great job, a lot of fun, but you had better save every time you finish a little work. It crashes often and will restart with your last save.
Crashes!

I’ve been using this app for years and have always loved it! Now I can’t draw a line without it crashing and reverting to the last save! Not enough time to save again before it crashes! So upset... please fix this so I can continue to use one of my favorite apps!
Love app, constantly crashes

Lots of great stuff to love about this app. Layers, ability to trace imported photos, multitude of brush options. Sadly, app is hardly usable as it is constantly crashing. I use 2nd gen 12.9 iPad Pro with Apple Pencil . Please, please fix crashing. Also, pleas add iCloud support for files.
Cannot color on layers :(

UPDATE 1-25-2018 -- After playing around I found if I highlight the original lineart then go to multiply then duplicate the original lineart and put a new layer BETWEEN the copy and the original. I can now color without worries. I also got an email from the developer. The original PNG lineart background must be transparent without having to do multiply and duplicate. I'm raising the stars to 5 again. Thank you ArtRage developer! I've been using ArtRage program on my PC since 2008 and ArtRage app on my iPad Mini since 2016 and mostly recently on my Chromebook in Jan. 2018. Now, this is a very serious for me. A few days ago I uploaded a fellow artist's lineart on my iPad. Once I have the lineart, I'd add another layer to color which is on top of the lineart layer. I can color BUT I didn't want color the lines so I moved that layer below the lineart. Guess what? There's nothing there. When I checked my layers you can see the color in the colored layer but not the main window. I've done this so many times and I never had this problem before. I love this app but I might not use it at all because of this. My app is up to date. Am I the only who is having this problem?
Good App

I drew #4 great drawing. I was really impressed!!! Then my Apple Pencil began to lag. Really bad & I couldn’t draw accurately. It wasn’t the pencil; it worked accurately on other drawing apps. Please fix!!!
Needs some work.

Cons: * There’re no opacity and thickness sliders on the screen - you have to go into menu. Thickness is visible in left corner but also 2 clicks away. It’s much better to change it via menu because if you don’t do it properly on the corner selection it pops up a numeric box where you type the thickness with the keyboard. Seriously, a keyboard? There’s a “Metal” slider on the right working smoothly and always visible. Is it more useful than thickness and opacity? (rhetorical question) * In fact there’s no opacity at all! So when you mix colors you can’t mix-in more of the color you’re adding. This makes the app essentially useless to me because it’s much less controlled with regards to the color you’ll get. * Also, the brush maximum thickness is not so thick. * Though the app looks like a desktop program, the brushes engine is less powerful than on the desktop. Oil paint texture is less pronounced than on desktop. You’re getting a different app that just happens to share the same name as the awesome ArtRage desktop version. Pros: * One really. I like the way paints interact when mixing. They’re not realistic as the desktop ArtRage (so you won’t get yellow + blue = green) And you can’t control how much paint you put in using a brush (no opacity) making color somewhat a random thing. But even with that said it still delivers interesting mixing feel that’s not available in Procreate (which is vastly superior in just about every other way) In all the apps I’ve tried they seem to aim to do the same thing, and Procreate does that thing the best. But ArtRage is different in a way it does the paint mixing differently, giving it more “paint” characteristic than it’s more “digital” counterparts. If the app is completely redesigned keeping in tune with Touch rather than Desktop UI practices. If opacity is added to the app, and also made available as sliders along with thickness. Then the app would be an instant 5-star, even if the desktop brush engine was more powerful.
Zooming MUST Be Fixed!!

I love this app. It helps me stay calm and at peace day to day. The only thing I have an issue with is the zooming. At times it is not responsive and when I want to zoom into my drawing, it will leave giant blotches of ink or paint on my art that I then have to remove. Every. Time. Please, fix this issue so the app can run smoothly across the board.
