Good app
By Sjawsome (Pcmac user)
It’s a pretty good app I love the layers and the fill in is pretty decent also. I wish you could add more colors, zoom in more/ rotate and that the blur thing would work a little better. It also freezes from time to time which gets annoying. It’s a bit too expensive for me but is honestly the most bare-able the app app I can find so far.

Its alright but a few complaints
By SketchyInfinity (Pcmac user)
I like the idea and the program but the fill tool is a bit clunky because it auto fills everything instead make it like adobe illustrator draw where you hold it and if the shapes arent connected and closed they can’t be filled and this app is confusing to work with. The videos provided are confusing to say the least. Also another gripe I had with it are the brushes they aren’t plentiful enough in opinion.I also feel there should be more brush customization. Ex. A gradient brush that’s starts off dark and goes lighter I would give it. If these thing were improved/made better I would give it a 5 star rating.

Huge potential, but disappointing
By Vonkaiser (Pcmac user)
Great interface for traditional the app mired by poor drawing tools. Important clean-up process is made difficult if not impossible as consequence. Lines drawn are extremely jagged/pixelated with any given tool (Don’t look at me! I am an atelier-trained artist with a very steady hand). The actual pixel resolution of the frames and stage themselves outside of their general proportions (4:4 / 16:9) is a mystery.
It’s okay for (very) rough pencil tests and is suitably inexpensive, but it could use a better brush engine, and perhaps vector layers among other things. Looking forward to seeing the developers take this software further; if they research and steal from their competition a little more this could be an incredible tool.

Can’t color and shade + Zooming out + Can’t draw on the whole thing
By Barbie Man 9,000 (Pcmac user)
So, on this app I can’t color or shade. Let me explain. I want to color and shade with color on my character. But, when I use the bucket tool on the layer 2 (the layer before layer 1 which is the layer my character is on), it treats it like a background. So I have no choice but to use the bucket tool on layer 1. Here’s the problem to that: When I want to shade with color, I can’t shade on layer one because I already have the line work on there so the color will go over the line work. But I can’t go on layer two because it will go underneath. I also can’t duplicate the frames.
Now here’s where the zooming out is pretty broken/stupid. I zoom out to 100% and I can’t move the frame left or right so I’m basically stuck in one place to draw. I can’t flip it upside down, twist it, turn, etc.
Also, you can’t color to the bottom. I tried to draw a line from top to the bottom, but it won’t let me with ANY brush. The only way you can do it is if you zoom in 500%
Please help.
