Could easily be 5 star

This is the best drawing app I’ve seen for iPad. Free, no ads, simple, works awesome with Apple Pencil pro. However there are some small things that would make it better. (Anyone familiar with the Remarkable tablets would know) 1- erase tool that you can circle a large portion to erase 2-a select tool that you can circle a portion to select and then move selected objects around .

Amazing app, just 1 thing

So I LOVE this app. It’s great for drawing, but, when I go to make comics on here, I just crumble, when I try to use the rectangle tool, it doesn’t work. I try to just free hand it, but it still doesn’t work. Please fix this if you can but everything else is amazing.

This is the best bro! 67

I wanted a drawing app and this is the best one!!! You should get this app!!!!! 67

Wow

YES

Idk edit: GIMME THIS APP NOWWWW

Easy to use, great for beginners

I have used this app for YEARS, I love how beginner friendly it is. I highly recommend it for people who want to start learning digital art!

best drawing app

this is the best free drawing app on the appstore. Free, no ads, no subscriptions.

Best Ever!!!

This game is soooooo much fun and I use it a lot when I’m stressed and it’s features are so good even without premium. So I recommend this to any one who likes to draw!

First time ever writing a review because this app is actually that good

I cannot believe this app is free. This is the only digital tool for artwork I’ll use as someone who’s been a traditional artist my whole life. It’s so underrated. I love, love this app and while premium isn’t necessary, it deserves it.

AMAZING BUT….

I think it is really great and I love it but it is really hard for me to navigate where the save button is and I always have to take a screenshot and edit the photo!

It don’t work :(

I would give it five stars but for some reason when I was drawing late at night it just stopped working. I’ve done everything, even deleting files to free up RAM. I haven’t been able to use it for about a month now. Creators, if your reading this, please fix this whatever this is, soon

Amazing 👍👍👍😍😍

So good 💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊I love it so much

Me

The only Y reason I put four stars because it forced me to review hahaha😃😃😃😃

REALLY good but….

I don’t have a lot to say.Just I really like this game but please add like a tool that like you can outline something and then it disappears that would be really cool well bye ✌🏻 From:🌊 Not real name:)

👍

BEST DRAWING GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sketchbook

This app is AMAZING!!! When I first got it I didn’t know how to do it. You can take photo’s of thangs and draw thang’s!!! It has nothing inappropriate.

Meh

It’s not easy to make good drawings without buying the extra stuff I mean I’m good drawer but I can barely blend colors on this app

Amazing!!!!! 😆😆😆😆 XD

It’s amazing and there are so many tools!!!! If you were to get an art app do this because it’s SLAY!!!!!! You’ll see!!! Have fun XD!!!!

Great app!

I love this drawing app! It’s great for me to draw on, but the only problem is I can’t import any image, resize anything, draw styles or anything when I tap on the 9 little squares on the top bar. Is this a bug? Can you fix it?

App is good but having issues

I’ve been using this app for years to make digital art but a couple hours ago, it started having issues. Every time I try to use an option in the menu that includes transform, predictive stroke, and other tools it crashes. I want this to be fixed in order to keep using the app because this is the best drawing app I’ve used in a long time.

PLEASE ADD PAGES!!!!!!

I use this app to make comics, and unfortunately there is no option to add pages within a sketch. I have to use Layers to create “pages”. Please fix this, thank you.

Great app, but it’s not an offline app.

Personally, I think this app is amazing if you’re looking for a free drawing app that includes features you usually have to pay for, such as editing brushes, layers, and certain brushes most free apps don’t have. However, i’ve been experiencing this bug recently when I draw without wifi. What happens is the entire screen freezes and i can’t draw, and then when I completely get out of the app and come back in, some of my progress on the drawing is gone. Please fix!

I LOVE THIS GAME!!!🤩🤩🤩

For me I really love this game and it’s really fun to do and draw ever since I got this game it was really fun and I honestly spent my whole day drawing in this game so that’s why I gave it five stars!

Best App Ever!

This app is really good i maybe ask if you can make a set where you can costume make your on pen set

I am so irritated….. because…..

First of all I would just like to say how irritated I am that I have never been told about this app it is absolutely 100% amazing and I’m so glad I decided to try it out… The developers and creators of this app absolutely thought of everything or at least anything I can think of I might not use my Sketchbook ever again to be honest lol great job on this app guys and girls! 100% satisfied customer!

Pretty awesome but a few suggestions

Please make a feature where you can make straight lines circles and all other shapes perfectly if you already have that high do not know about that I am a beginner. Also I would like a feature where you can you drag the color and bring it into the circle or the square or whatever shape you made. Thank you. if you see this and you already have those features and please confirm.

excelent

the best app, it only have an error when using the divided screen on ipad, the color picker and brush picker disapear, so u need to reinstall the app

AWSOME I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

Undo redo on iPod?

Hi, I love the app but I’m trying to find the undo and redo buttons on iPod and I can’t find it which is maki it really difficult to use.. if you could fix that? Then thank you so much! I love the app a lot I just can’t find the undo or redo buttons anywhere I looked on google, etc. but I can’t / couldn’t find it..

Amazing

It is amazing ever thing is free and it is really easy to draw on.

Amazing!

I absolutely LOVE this app, and it’s the closest thing (I could find) to procreate cuz I’m on iPhone. I do have a couple suggestions, and here they are. 1. I NEED a back button or whatever it’s called. 2. Maybe there could be something on top of all the tools called favorites, where all your favorite pencils and stuff are. That’s all 4 now byeeeeeeeee

Fire🔥🔥🔥🔥

Been drawing on this for years. I love it to the ,on and back. Simple, Minimalist, and calming. Other than that. Developers can you guys fix the eye dropper tool. Mine hasn’t been working recently. It just won’t let me select it

Wow this app is too good

Ok how in the world is this free I wouldn’t mind paying a dollar for this app i mean i like thats its free but wow download this app right away there are so many options like a ton of colors, brushes and more! I wish i could rate this more than 5 stars cause this app deserves it!!! Come on apple let us rate things higher than 5 stars like 10 out of 5 stars if you left a 1 2 or 3 star review why? Its amazing most drawing apps that i downloaded where you can draw whatever you want say they are fre

Good, but…

I like the app, but It freezes when I draw with my Apple Pencil. Someone needs to fix it!

Please read

This app is great but when ever I upload a movie to my pics I keep getting stuck on “your movies has been sent to camera” please help :D

Great, just one not very little thing…

I’ve had this app for months and I love it. It is ad-free and it’s clear that the developers just wanted a good drawing app, not money. I couldn’t recommend it more. Just one thing. Maybe I’m just missing the button or something, but there’s no export option?? I have to screenshot it, which is disappointing for so many reasons. And I gotta warn you: it’s not what I’d call intuitive. But with a bit of poking around you can make something pretty great, and from there the app is easy to use.

App is amazing! I just have a few suggestions for possible features.

So I love this app, it is simply great! But there are a couple features that could be added that I feel would make it even better! Chief amongst them would be the option to curve text around a circle or any other shape. It would also be great to be able to create custom tools/guides and save them!

Amazing

Great sketchbook app, easy to use, good layout, overall good sketching app for the price.

Amazing for free

I’ve used this app for two years for sketching and my opinion on it is this: its good if your not willing to buy better. Its lacking some really great features you definitely can find in apps like Procreate, but its a really good app for more basic and budget drawing.

Keeps freezing

This app is great, but when I move too fast in it it always freezes. Plus for some reason I cannot make straight line without help of predictive stroke, not sure if it’s the app or my apple pen, but it just goes cricket no matter what, not only for me. The freezing is getting old fast though…Besides that it is a great app!

2 Negative User Reviews for Sketchbook

It worked for a while and then made me delete around 70-90 drawings

I used the app for a while and then it stopped letting me draw so i had to delete it and re download it which got rid of my 75 drawings...

This app sucks

My gallery only holds 2 pictures at a time, I had done drawings right after I got this app, but I didn’t realize you have to set up the gallery! So all of my drawings were gone and I had to redraw them out of memory. DO NOT GET THIS APP!!!!!!!!
