Community Insight:
Ive got an old iPad with this on it. We adore this app. We would pay for it, even a subscription fee. Come on devs, please, please bring it back! There is no other app with the brushes and color options this one has. We dont even enjoy the drawing app on our surface as much as this. Its not professional, its just for fun, and we find it helps us clear our mind. Sell it as a meditation app, lol. Anything.
We miss this app. We were able to sketch dimensional art that we could upload to Procreate and finesse. It was a huge time saver and intelligent tool. PLEASE UPDATE FOR iPAD USERS.
We MISS THIS APP SO MUCH PLLLLEEAASEEEEEEE. E E E E E E E E E E E E E EBRING IT BACK.
This helped our daughters learn how to draw and they are great artists!!!! This app is such a gift.
We really loved this app however we wish it was still available to use. It seems we can not access this app unless it is updated, with iOS 11.
Us gustara que se haga un update.
We love this app but it doesnt work with iOS 11.0 pleeeease answer it would mean so much to us.
We love this app we hope they update soon to the new iOS- the strokes on here are different then most apps.
IT IS SO AMAZING!!!You can draw whatever you like!Its so cool #BESTTHINGINTHEWORLD.
Please Update to carry to iOS 11.
Please update to iOS 11 so we can use it again! Our phone got reset and we cant download it anymore! Please.
We have used this app so much and we love it but now when we try to use it it says the developer of this app needs to update it to work with iOS.11 so we lost all of our art.
Hawwo! Id like to download this again but we deleted it and we couldnt get it back but then we found it and we cant download it now. Its because IOS 11 doesnt work on this and now we cant draw on it :( other than that this app is great and we love it. Thanks and have a good day X3.
We love this app and draw on our phone with it all the time. However after iOS 11 it doesnt work. Please update it! We miss our sketching time.
We love this app, please update it so we can continue to use it on iOS 11. Amazing sketch app btw.
We love this app its perfect! If possible we wish there can be a time lapse video to save as an option to show our work progress.
There are different brushes and colors, definitely recommend if you're looking for an app to sketch with.
We've been looking for shading tools on iOS for months and finally found it with Sketch Guru Other sketch apps have Brushes and sizes, but even Adobe sketch doesn't have these awesome shading generators (longray, sketch ray, bunch, circles) that fills in cross hatch shading for you!. Happy we've finally found this sort of sketch app for iOS.
The only complaint is that the app doesn't tell you that you can insert an image into the back of the sketch. It'll help you sketch using the lines on the picture and we think they should have a screen shot of that.
We love this app it is amazing. We have been trying to practice drawing on ipads and phones and this app is perfect for that. It is the best drawing app (we had to download alot to find a good one).
This app is likely one of our very favorite sketching apps of all time ^.^ It's tool options seem endless, varieties of pencil, pens, and even glowing and rainbow utensils. We simply love the app, it seems full furnished and well made :3 we're just wondering if there is a way to save the video of your progression of your sketch to you camera roll? If there isn't, we would appreciate if you could :D Also, a bit of a bug… Sometimes when sketching, we find that it blacks out and returns to our home screen. Therefor deleting our sketch :T Hope that's fixed. Thank you very much for reading our review! <3.
This app is awesome! We love it. Our friend introduced it to us. We always draw Steven Universe, Harley Quinn, and other stuff on the app. – SwimmerFangirl8173.
We love this app and we use it almost every day!!! The only problem is it's really difficult to draw with your finger so, we solved that problem by getting a touch screen pen. It works beautifully and we can draw our digital art just as well as our art on paper. We love this app because u don't have to get one of those expensive digital art pads that hook up to your computer. You can just get this app! And it's totally free!!!! We highly recommend this app for anyone who loves to draw and doesn't want to carry a notebook and pencil everywhere they go.
We love this game, so much!! The only problems are 1. When we watch the recordings, It shows the things we undid, and it kinda crashes from time to time. But we this game is still VERY good.
Probably one of the best sketch apps on iPhones.
Hi everyone! We don't really like to sketch but this app really inspired us so much that we love to sketch now!! And the best thing is that it doesn't cost anything! So if you don't like to sketch this app would really help you. We hope you love it as much as we do.
Uploading our traditional art has always been complicated, but now making art is easier and faster. Discovering how to work things was simple and quick. We have no complaints whatsoever. Get this app if you are looking for a great drawing pad.
We really surprised with working this application just please update this app …. Thanks.
We have a solution to your problem, SuggestionsBelow. Another way to save anything to your Apple device is to press the power and home buttons quickly at the same time.
We love this app so much! But we think a fill bucket or something like that would be better. :).
Awsome because of the different stiles of sketch but when we press save it doesnt save to our camera role or to the app again awsome game but please fix the save button.
Turns a crummy doodler like us into a semi-talented artist! Love it on first try.
When we think of something or we're trying to describe something to a friend we draw it, screen shot it and it's cool because we can use colors. Great for sharing ideas. We actually deleted it and missed it so much we had to re download.
We prefer paper and pencil but this would be our second choice.
U should really buy this game we love it. There are millions of colors to chose from and lots of brushes to chose from to.
This app is EXQUISITE! Absolutely astonishing! The only thing that we can see is wrong is the fact that it won't let us save our sketches to the camera roll. Other than that, it's amazing! We definitely recommend this to EVERYONE! We love it.
This app is amazing! It would be nice to have a text tool though.
We love it, it is one of the best apps we have ever got.
We didn't know we had so much inspiration in us until we downloaded this app :) we've only had it for 2 days and we've made like 20 sketches already.
This is the best sketch app by far.
As an artist this is a great on the go sketch pad, very nice user interface and variety of uses.
There are some really cheap styluses, but with or without its a really great app.
Lots of varieties of pencils choose from.
It's the best sketching app we've ever seen we've never been able to draw this great ! Thank you for helping us continue our love for art.
But we wish you could save the awesome pic.
It's really cool and easy to use! Now we don't have to bring a pad and pencils with us every where! The only issue we have is that we're not good at drawing with our fingers…. We're learning though.
Once we got this game we were addicted this game is awesome we'd recommend this to everybody!!!! :D.
Best sketch app we could find!!! It would be even better if they had a typing tool and a bucket tool to color a big area at once. But other than that its really good.
When we use this app, we feel we're Leonardo da Vinci! Since this app features a lot of amazing options, it gives you courage to draw, it can even help kids grow there imagination for them to become future artists.
We've never used such a good app! Love and easy to use.
