This app crashed every single time I tried to save the photo I was working on. I must have tried 5 or 6 times. If I could actually save anything, this would be a great app. As a side note, I also tried to send feedback to the developer. But the feedback option didn't work correctly. It tried to send a text to my partner instead.

I found it extremely hard to use the different tools, I couldn't understand what all the icons meant, sometimes the undo button doesn't even work, the layers are confusing at times and using the shadow or highlights tool always resulted in the loss of my entire drawing for some reason. I would not recommend this app if you're looking for something reliant and easy to use.

This app constantly crashes, ruining my unsaved work. This isn't the first time its crashed. I have sent numerous error reports, yet nothing has changed. I love this app only for the fact its the only free decent art app I've found so far. It seems as though your oblivious to the errors within your app. Please fix these errors. Sincerely- Me and just about everybody else

It would be a great app if it wouldn't crash all the time. Every time I try to upload a picture, the app just shuts down. The "notify developer" button doesn't help in that point.

I really like this one, but it keeps crashing over and over to the point of being unable. When the bugs get fixed, this will be a great drawing app but for now, I can't use it.

I can take a photo of a sketch and colour it in this almost as easily as Photoshop - but on my phone! Much more stable than I expected, but still important to save often as always.

I love this app but it keeps erasing my work and it keeps crashing. Please fix! Its not saving my work either. When these are fixed, I will rate this a 5 star. Oh, and it wont downlad either

Good platform, hopefully it'll be functional soon... Looks like you could at least play with the full version until it actually worked for more than five minutes..

Unable to use. As soon as I try to save the app crashes.

Is it possible to share to Canvas from another app like the gallery? Other than that, this has a lot of potential for a very small footprint!

As of Aug 2015, this apps works nicely. Of course you'll have to pay for more advanced options, but the smudge tool is free.

I was excited about this app, not so much for drawing work but for the very good dodge and burn tools to use in photo editing. Unfortunately there seems to be a canvas size limit of your screen resolution (in my case 1600 X 2560, pretty high res but not high enough to import 12MP photos). When importing photos they are therefore cropped. Furthermore, the app does not rotate so you seem to be in forced portrait layout all the time (which means that landscape photos are even more cropped, unless I rotate them to portrait in another app first). I'm running 3 gb of ram and 1.9Ghz quad core on my tablet, so it can easily cope with higher resolution canvasses, please consider changing this?

It won't save any pics to gallery and cause I am on the latest android os

And they're even going to eventually support paint bucket, and magic wand tools in future updates!

But need some development. 1.Difficult access to the tools. 2.User cannot know the size when using the brush or eraser (radius) And more... Good luck.
