1. 4/5Love this app!

   Hey! I’ve been using this app, ever since I’ve started drawing on my iPad. Since 2021 I’ve had a bias for this app because it was free, had a beautiful layout and was comprehensive. Yes, did at the time I have to watch ads to access premium tools? Of course, I didn’t mind the ads. It was a great way to gain them, all the while giving commission to the app through the ads. However, as of recently, I’ve been getting the advertisement to upgrade to premium so constantly, it’s getting to the point to where I may have to switch to a different app. I’m hesitant, because I’ve loved this app, but I can’t deal with 3 min ads every time I’m trying to export any projects. I was tempted to buy it, but with how much “in your face” this has gotten, it’s really encouraging to go the other way. I have faith, considering this app was made by a dad for his daughters, which gave sentiment to the app and made me happy when I used it over other popular apps. I’ve even encouraged and recommended this to friends, so I really don’t want to change programs. I don’t mean this in an entitled way, but would it be possible to please tone down the ads? At least, to the way it was before? When the only ads you watched were willing for access to certain tools? BTW love the new layouts, I can see the effort and work that has been put to this app. Thank you!

2. 5/5Super good game😊👏🏻😄Better than procreate

   This game has been a really fun way that I can draw on and be inspired. I love this app and it’s even better than procreate procreate you have to spend at least $10 or more for stuff this game everything is free I wouldn’t even consider a game I would consider it something a real artist would use I know a lot of Youtubers use procreate for their artThis is just another step up from procreate and everything is free there’s basically zero ads which one thing I hate about games is all the ads there’s always a 1 million ads in them I art book provides so many good things and a couple of things that procreate doesn’t one thing that I like aboutThis game is that it provides you a lot of stuff you could add detail and texture you could do different kinds of gradients and different blends also one thing that this has that procreate does not have is that you could insert pictures of things. Overall I think this is a really good game and if you want to improve our skills I think you should use this one difficult thing on this though is I don’t know if you guys can but I can’t figure out how to use the animation thing and add another slide or whatever but if you wanna improve your art skills and have a little more creativity and stuff I wouldDefinitely recommend this game to you. Overall amazing game and you should download it five star rating for me.!

3. 5/5Better for me than procreate

   In my baby artist days, I wish I had come across this app. I was broke (still am) and my parents had recently gotten me an iPad and Apple Pencil. I couldn’t afford any high quality apps such as Procreate and I didn’t want to get an app that gave me a free trial, or a free edition. Those limitations weren’t the best. So I settled with Autodesk Sketchbook. A very good free app, but it didn’t really suit my needs. Before I go further, I’d just like to say that just because you get a professional drawing setup or a high quality app, doesn’t mean your drawings and animations will automatically improve. I expected a lot from an iPad and an Apple Pencil, but my art looked the same. It’s not about the quality of the medium, it’s the way you can improve upon your art and look at it with a critical eye. (Not too critical!) Anyway, Autodesk sketchbook didn’t have the kind of brushes I liked, and it wasn’t very sensitive to pressure. Then I got procreate. Don’t get me wrong, Procreate is AWESOME. It’s a huge step up. But this app? iArtbook? It’s a game changer. Similar controls to procreate, but free. Of course, there are ads. How else could you support an app like this? It’s awesome for beginners and professionals alike! (I’m not professional, I’m somewhere in the middle.) Again, though, everyone has different preferences. I love this app, but it may not be for you! Just please try it out. :)

4. 5/5I’m only giving this a five because…

   I used to absolutely LOVE this app, I mean there were some things that could of been added…But instead you guys didn’t even improve anything, you guys just put everything behind a paywall when this app was supposed to be free..I get it you want to improve and grow but I could get a better more improved art app for the money your charging just to do the basic things you should be able to regularly do, I mean maybe some things behind a paywall but saving your art?? Come on now, I wanted to post my art and become a young content creator but now..there’s really nothing I could do, I loved this app so much the brushes, quality all of that.. I thought I could just take a screenshot but no..you give me a 1m penalty? That’s so messed up man, I almost cried.. I wanted to be able to express my art and show it to the world and improve by getting opinions and so on.. don’t get me wrong I know there’s more apps but most aren’t free or as good. There’s so many more things behind a paywall aswell that I don’t really want to get into atm, but please just fix this I was so used to drawing on this app that now idk what to do. Please read this, I don’t mean this to tear down your app but please, make it how it used to be me and many more people would appreciate it, Thank you for reading.

5. 2/5Used to love this app

   Had this app for about 2-3 years, loved it because it was a free art program that was decent quality. There were and still are many issues with app, especially in regards to lagging, though that might be my tablets age, so it never bothered me. Because it being better in quality when compared to some other free art apps, I never minded watching adds for premium features, like liquify. However that option is no longer offered, instead more and more features, such as copy/paste, are being taken away and locked behind the pay wall, with the only alternative being stuck behind an unskippable, minute long ad for the premium version of this app, which only allows for a one time use of the feature you’re attempting to use (at least that was the case when I was attempting to use copy/paste multiple times in a row). I am writing this review as I just received a 2 minute long ad. The only reason I use you app is because it’s free, but it is quickly becoming unusable. If I wanted to pay money for an art program I would have just paid the subscription fee for photoshop or clipstudio or procreate because you get far more features and it would at least be worth the money spent. I am quickly becoming so frustrated while using your app, that I will probably just delete it and find a different application to use. It was a good app while it lasted, y’know, before y’all got greedy, and I can’t provide a review the premium as it’s not worth paying for, especially when compared to what used to be offered for free.
