Limited # Of Images Can Be Pasted

Radiofreemal

Word of warning: Flow documents limit you to 50 maximum pasted images. I use Flow as my personal sketchbook, and as part of my creative process, I’m cutting/pasting all the time. After working for a month in a sketchbook, I hit the wall, and was alerted that I could not paste any more images into my file. This was completely out of the blue, no advance warning. Be aware: if your creative process involves pasting images, then you too may see this as a deal-breaker limitation to this app. Sadly, as a result of this I am forced to write a negative review. I’ve been enjoying Flow for about a month. Nice UX, quality tools, intuitive, and I love being able to have tools on my phone while drawing on the iPad. I also like having my sketchbook on the cloud, available on either phone or iPad (a function that comes in extremely handy). However, a paster must paste; this is a deal breaker. App developers, please remove this limitation. Thank you.

AGGRESSIVE push on the subscription

Don't do what I did

Downloaded and before I could even try it, I’m being forced to accept a 1 week trial with auto-enrollment in a subscription plan. I don’t want to have to be bothered to remember to cancel my subscription just for the chance to try the app.

Love the app but..

The one thing I wish I could do would be to control the grid / line spacing. The spacing makes me feel like I’m writing oversized preschool letters.

Loses your documents

DaveFY

I used to love this app until it began to lose my documents. I reached out to support and they quickly got back to me with a solution that worked the first time this happened. But when it happened again, it no longer worked.

One problem…

akversii

Love this app sooo much, BUT there’s one problem… it randomly crashes often. I’m on the latest 12.9 M1 iPad Pro so definitely not a hardware issue. Please fix it :).

Awesome Support Experience

Jenni Elyse

I’ve been using Flow for a few months now. I had some problems with rendering. I reached out to their support and when I was at my wit’s end, they put me in contact with one of their developers to figure out the problem. The experience has been delightful. They’ve been very communicative and fixed the problem I was having. Now that the rendering problem is taken care of, using Flow is awesome. I love everything about it. It’s the best drawing app I’ve ever used.

Doesn’t act right

jkilu3

The game is good but it will turn my color white and it will act crazy when I draw with the art supplies . When I erase it will change colors that I don’t like on my picture and when I try to zoom in it’s not enough for me.

Mediocre

TMcGuire17

Program is OK but buggy. Pencil bag doesn’t work now program freezes, no zoom feature. Work some of this crap out and it would move up. Not going to renew the subscription that’s for sure!

Promising but not there yet.

I so much want this app to work! Great concept with the flow and preselection of pens etc. Why only 2 stars? The flow page height should be variable and the export for printing would be enhanced if one was not limited by one page size. Trace has an incredible amount of flexibility when printing. If flow could introduce the same level of control. It would be a clear 5 star app. Adding layers would also be a plus. I understand your basic premise of keeping things simple but the process of design requires the ability to overlay.

Pencil brush needs some work

Benjamin Adam

Great simple not taking app. My only grip is that the pencil brush is not very good. The amount of pressure required to leave a mark is WAY to high. The ability to select or create pencils with various hardness like H2 - HB - B2 or in a wider range would be a huge improvement
