4/5Higher quality models won’t load
I’ve been using clip studio for a few years now, and recently started using the mobile version. I haven’t been having any problems until now, I downloaded two models that I have used before on my laptop, absolutely no problems whatsoever but for some reason they just won’t load on mobile, every time I try and use them my screen freezes and then the models won’t even load in. But I don’t have that issue with other models, it’s really disappointing. But overall a good app, but definitely needs some work, I even deleted some old projects I did to see if it would free up space, I deleted some other apps on my phone I don’t use and I’ve updated the app itself and nothing is working. Please fix this issue

4/5Free and great for mobility!
I’ve been using this app for a while since I had trouble getting into my paid account (-⭐️.) It’s AD FREE for like 30 hrs a week which is right over the amount I use it making it more accessible for lower incomes. It’s also great that I can have the app on my phone to sketch if I don’t have paper or pencil on me at the time. It’s fairly easy to navigate making it a great digital option especially for quick concepts! Definitely recommend for fellow artists, especially those who are starting digital art! 🌈🌟🖍️

1/5Neat app, bad site and service
I initially bought the one time desktop version for my kid. Since my kid travels we decided it would be nice to have the ability to sync. I found out there was no way to switch to the monthly I just got referred to a comparison chart. Their web site is awful. To find the login it’s easier to back out to google and search csp login. Since I bought the one time version they offer a discount on the monthly version. I took advantage of this. The day before my 1st month was over and it was set to renew I found out my credit number had been stolen and I had to cancel my current one. Before I received my new card CSP cancelled my monthly account. My card came the next day, but CSP will not honor they discount they gave me, told me I had to purchase a new monthly plan at more than double the price. My kid will be switching back to the onetime version and if my kid wants to sync they will be using Blender.

3/5Good App With A Few Flaws
I like the app, but it’s very confusing to navigate and doesn’t make it easy to start with. When I go to make a new canvas it asks me to buy premium. I do understand the company needs to make money but it makes it harder to draw because I have to turn off the opacities of the different layers. If I want to make another drawing. And you can’t insert images either without it asking you to pay for premium. You can insert an image on the first canvas but you can’t insert another without deleting the other canvas first. It’s a good app for people trying to learn to use these kinds of apps or even trying out digital art but if you want to use it for long term I wouldn’t recommend it.

1/5$50 just to not be able to use it
I just bought this for work a couple of days ago on my computer. My computer is pretty old so it can’t really run software like this all that well, and I can’t afford a new one. Since my device is newer, I thought to use it on that, but come to find out I’m not able to with the one time purchase. I cannot afford a recurring subscription, so I’ll just have to stick to using procreate, a one time purchase of $10 instead. This is a missed opportunity for the clip studio developers, I know users would love to be able to use their not cheap purchase on the iPad. Myself, as well as many others, I know would buy something like this with a one time purchase before a subscription any day (hence one of the reasons why procreate is so popular and highly rated).
