Super laggy, but hope is a thing with feathers
By Gareth Danger (Pcmac user)
I’ve been a big fan of the previous releases since the beginning. I’ve used them in studio and home environments and I’ve yet to find another program that matches Sketchbook’s usability, elegance and friendly feel. I’m a storyboard artist and the previous releases have all been perfect for what I do - fast and responsive. This version (8.6.1) seems to have dropped the ball on responsiveness and the knock-on is a pretty frustrasting experience throughout.
The brushes lag, particularly the larger ones. I’ve followed all the suggestions in the fora - resetting to factory default, turning off enable rotate, brush stamp, etc, restoring, reinstalling and trying old versions of the Cintiq software - no dice. I’ve even done a clean install of High Sierra and the problem persists. I’m a bit of a luddite, but my other design suite and even video editing software run perfectly fine and I’d imagine they’d be more taxing on memory.
I’m running High Sierra on a mid-2012 i5 MacBook Pro, 4gb of RAM and an SSD, and I’m using a Cintiq for drawing. If you have any idea how this can be resolved, I have three more stars with your name on it. In comic sans though.

So Done With This
By CameronVM (Pcmac user)
First of all, I bought this app I think over two years ago and it was a one time 60 dollar purchase. This was my favorite program I'd used and I loved working with this program and improving my art. However, I took a break from artwork and when I came back to the app it told me to delete and reinstall. Biggest mistake ever. When i redownloaded it, the program was awful and I soon realized why. That one time purchase was all for nothing, because they had changed it and made it a subscription. Their free option is the worst thing I've ever seen. Three layers? Really. I'm still infuriated to this day. They took away all of the things I loved. The infinite layers? Gone. The options to change the layer qualities? Gone. The tons of brushes? Gone. Everything I loved about the program? Gone. You can get those features you just now have to pay a subscription for them, which is ridiculous. It's a way to garner more money from artists, professional or otherwise. Noce work on ruining a good thing.

It was pretty great until it sucked.
By Pigeon Person 101 (Pcmac user)
I really enjoyed using this app and I used it all the time, but after accidentally exiting out of the small tab on the top of the screen that gave me the ability to do alot of things, I could and still can not get it back. This has made drawing incredibly hard and took away alot of features. I no longer use the app nearly as often, and I have to say that I’m disappointed and are currently on the look for a new drawing app, all because of these little mistakes. Not only that, but 9/10 of the times that I DO use it, it glitches out and won’t let me draw or exit out of the app and therefor won’t let me log out of my computer as well. Please fix these bugs as soon as possible.

So disappointed
By Burrito_Man_ (Pcmac user)
I have been using this program since September on 2016 and to be honest it was really great at first, but between all of the crashes happeneing while I drew and with certain tools not working or not letting me undo my mistakes, I just can’t. To top it off I renewed my yearly supsription and payed LAST month ( I have a reciept from paypal and apple ) somehow I lost my membership. I paid $30 for the entire year and the app took away my subscription for some reason, and I didn’t notice it untill I tried opening the drawings I was working on only to realize all of the layers I had were merged together into one and read “Free Trail”.
I am so angry, I even contacted them though their webite and the guy who emailed me back obviously didn’t care and just cancled my subscription for Septemebr of 2018 and didn’t comment as to why my membership that I paid for this year wasn’t working. Thank god for apple’s coustumer service though, honeslty.
Never again.
