About Big Fat Canvas

Big Fat Canvas is the first quality* drawing app for Honeycomb tablets - now you're limited only by your imagination.

Features:

- Infinite canvas size: Zoom out as far as you want, or zoom in as far as you want. There are practically no limits to the detail or scale of your drawings.

- Multitouch: Use two fingers to pan or zoom with ease

- Sharing: Easily share your drawings via email, bluetooth, dropbox, and more.

Big Fat Canvas is still in beta, and all features are subject to change.

*If you take issue with the claim that this is a quality drawing app, email me with the features you'd like to see.

I like the app. I do however have a problem with it. When using my stylus the app will crash each time I put my hand down on the screen for support. I suggest a button to toggle zoom and movement functionality. Another problem is that when the stylus tip is close to the screen it should disable any other input from the user, ie. hand resting on screen.

yup it crashes... but big fat canvas is my new fav app :-) unlimited space! yes!

Love the infinate space. Can blend colors with opacity, and erase with the white pen. Need paste feature. Can copy to clipboard for use in other apps, but need to be able to copy and paste objects from other apps and to duplicate items without redrawing. Thanks.....

If it didn't exist, I would have made it. But could you make it save your settings persistently (sharedprefs) and open with a blank canvas with a drawing of an elephant.

Crash on samsung tab. I love this app. Plz

Future update need: 1. Lock zoom for content size stability 2. % zoom indicator 3. Rectangle, circle, star, line, etc. Insert shape tool 4. Insert text tool

S70%

No way. One type of brush only. Unacceptable.

G70%

I love how useful this app is.

S70%

Have not yet had a stylus so just finger drew. Used it for a short while and would say the app is well thought out with both infinite zoom in and zoom out capabilities. That isnt in many apps. The infinite canvas makes it stand out. The eraser would be a good addition. But you can always zoom out, change the brush color to white and erase( hopefully works all the time ). Hope for features like save to high quality high definition image in the next update. Not tested for stability so save your work as you go

It won't load up my pictures! When I try and open them, it tels me that the app has crashed. Its a great drawing app, it really is, but that doesn't matter if you can't view your work! It would be a solid five stars if this didn't happen.

like calligraphy pen and image insert. Love the app

Writing 3 hours of lesson about Napoleon life inside the "o" of his name is priceless. the most obvious digital drawing function that nobody else will offer. I was really surprised to find out that no other drawing app allows for infinite zoom in and out and infinite dragging in any direction, it's one of the most obvious advantages digital paper has to offer. Incredibly useful to take notes

No other app has this kind of unlimited zoom. Easy to use. Only thing missing is eraser tool. Please create an eraser toolfor your next update.

I didnt like it as much as I hoped to, it froze my phone, it has very little colors, one brush, and no eraser.

N70%

Just started using it and its great! Nice work!

by Y####:

Really love the large canvas. However whenever I touch the screen with my fingers at the same time with the S Pen, the app will crash. Hope you can fix this. Thanks

Thank you! Finally a canvas with no borders! It is the doodling version of SharpMindMap. Awesome!

Y70%
by Y####:

But the thing is I wish it had more colors cause if I try do draw someone I can't use a tan color

Y70%
by Y####:

has less features than Microsoft's Windows 3.1 Paint. I guess that's a baseline for a "quality" drawing app. Infinite paper is nice but it doesn't make up for other missing features.

by S####:

I was looking for an infinite sized sketchpad so I could do various mathematical scribblings on them. I didn't find quite what I was looking for, but its perfectly good enough. Zoom in far, and its as infinite as you like! Just what I needed :)

Would be good if didn't keep crashing

Simple, short and to the point. Everything you need to replace paper and pencil.

Great! Useful and easy to use. Can map workflows. Just need to be able to save to a PDF.

R70%
by R####:

This is the best drawing app I have used on my tablet to date mainly due to the multi touch features. Really news a larger colour pallete and a selection of brush types. Good job look forward to updates.

This is just the thing I was looking for :-) I'm now able to make notes with many levels of info, and might even get into using it to make bedtime stories for my children. Thanks!

by T####:

Simple and powerful. So easy to use. Perfect replacement for Adobe ideas.

T70%
by T####:

It needs some serious improvement. I'd say it needs an eraser and it needs different styles of brushes. Like, say, it needs a spray can feature and marker feature, maybe a fur brush. It just needs some changes. I would rate 55 if the changes are made. Also, it needs to have a brush color picker like in Paint Box For Tablets.

Briefly, this is basically what I was looking for, an "infinite" canvas.

Open, eraser, span, paging... thx

The idea of having infinite canvas... is awesome... i was looking for it... a long time ago... finally i have succeed.... hey thank u thank u very much... if possible try to include the features of recording screen like in my SNOTE app... THIS APP WILL BE HUGE SUCCESS... looking for further development

T70%
by T####:

This app has the least lag of any sketching or handwriting app that I've tried, including autodesk's. Big Fat Canvas is my new little friend, fast enough for note-taking. The infinite zoom is intuitive and exactly what I've been looking for. Mad props to the developer.

V70%
by V####:

Please fix this crash. It will randomly shut down while viewing a file. After restarting the app, the file that was being viewed upon the time of the crash will no longer be accessible. Which really sucks.

:-) im not limited to my small screen, i just notice that the brush isnt smooth, hoping for future updte. Thanks.

T70%
by T####:

I LOVE this App. It's perfect for sketching. PLEASE ADD AN ERASER TOOL IN THE BAR NEXT TO THE UNDO. Layers would be nice but I can live without.....the ERASER tool is a must! I look forward to your next update. Thank you for creating this app. I'd gadly pay for it. If you need a beta tester, I'm in!

This is a very good app to get. Its simple to use and its fun! I would like for it to have different types of drawing tools though

F70%
by F####:

This app is the best for drawing so far. But I'm still trying to find out where to get another colors beside the colors provided in it. Anyone knows

T70%
by T####:

I have been waiting for a decent drawing app and this is the first one that I have found. Works great and I love the infinite zoom and multi touch support. Blows all others out of the water. Thanks!

Simple but effective. Fun for doodling and useful for quick notes - just write with a finger tip. I am using it on a 7" Zenithink tablet running Android 4.0.3.
