Zen Brush 3 App Reviews

I have got to say that I’ve been watching this app for a long time and it is one of my all-time favorite brushes and yes it does make you feel relief from the stress of doing other stuff but the fact that they added layers just changes the whole thing absolutely brilliant please keep up the good work as you are amazing.

While you might think this is a silly app, just to simulate brush strokes, it’s much more than that. The ability to bring in artwork from other programs via layers, control the drying time, work wet, all quite amazing and unmatched. You just cannot do what this does in any other program. I do wish you could have custom color palettes; then close to perfect. Doomo arigato gozaimasu!

At first I was perplexed as to why the brushes were so much more ‘mushy’ in 3 than in 2, until I realized the default canvas resolution in 3 is much smaller than in 2! Increasing from 768x1024 to 2400x3200 fixes the problem of the dithering being too large and immediately highlights the improvements of the brush engine in 3 over 2. I imagine the reason the default is so low is for better battery life / FPS on lower spec iPads. The user should be prompted to pick a resolution on first launch to m

This app has beautiful brush dynamics and ink simulation, and when I reached out to the developers to report a small bug they responded right away and had a fix out in no time. Thanks!

The app is optimized for fingers on touch screens. It does capture pressure/tilt of pencil, but does not apply them faithfully for ink simulation creating a very awkward feeling. With rapid strokes, ink lightens regardless how much pressure you apply, and the brush continues to shoot forward due to some sort of motion prediction. So it works fine only if you write at snail speed and totally breaks down as you speed up no good for cursive script. @app author, please offer a mode disabling finger

I'm using this application to study Japanese. Maybe on the next update your team can include a calligraphy grid in order to practice brush strokes. Thank you, for adding new improvements. Keep up the good work. I look forward to your new updates.

So many real improvements! Now with colors. Give us a color wheel to pick any color and we’re done! How do I enter 10 stars?!

This app has a lot of improvements over version 2, but really irritated the iMessage function was removed. I used it a lot to make custom stickers and having extra colors would’ve been great.

If you're a Zen Brush 2 fan, this will blow your mind! Lots more choices, super well implemented.

I always use it when I want to calm my mind so that I can think strategically.

I sent my inquiry about deleting Saved works to the support 2 times without answer.

I recently purchased Zen Brush 3 for my IPad mini 5. Love it except for the fact I cannot open a new canvas. I’ve searched everywhere but cannot find an answer for my specific need. Also app kicks me out often when I click to add a layer or the button beside it- losing ALL my work. Will increase stars when I can begin a second project and crashing is fixed. Thank you.
