    Sketchbook is a very good app but recently it has been not working too well. I am not able to see any of my previous work. Its quite frustrating since there is things I have not finished and would like to. When I zoom out it usually takes me to the gallery were all my work is but it closes the app and Autodesk - Sketchbook keeps stopping. Please sort this out!!

    Have used this app for years, and is easily by far the best alternative option out there. The problem is, after updating my android system software, the app decides to crash mid way through work... 5 stars if they could only fix the "oops, failed to open" and the constant crashing. Until then, its slowly becoming unusable. Edit: Update has completely broken the app... lost years of work. Some help on downloading an original or older version would be highly appreciated.

    i would use this over adobe photoshop - or any other editing app - for all of my projects. it's fun, easy to use, and doesn't crash or anything. you can make really high quality pieces of work, stupid little doodles and everything in between. the tools are cute and varied, and it's like having an actual drawing set only on your phone, tablet, laptop or whatever. i would definitely recommend this app.

    The app is amazing. But it has one gigantic flaw! This why I give it 3 stars. The undo button is hidden behind the options selector at the bottom of the screen. This means I need to click 3 time do undo anything. Or redo for that matter. First to make the button appear, one more time to undo, then a third time to make the pencil size (now blatantly placed in the middle of sceeen) go away. Please fix this. A undo button easily available at any given time.

    For an ad free sketch app, this is incredible. Truly the easiest UI to navigate with, I've struggled with most other apps but this one has come out on top for android. The only Downside is the inability to add custom brushes to the android app version, I would happily pay for the app if it meant being able to have custom brushes installed as it would truly, in my opinion, make autodesk sketchbook THE best art app. Please please consider enabling custom brushes!!

    Changed my mind about this app because previously I lost all my work... it was my fault. It saves you work only onto your phone memory (or tablet, desktop etc). The work is saved into gallery but they don't appear as the actual image, just a symbol... SO DON'T DELETE THEM like I did! Apart from that I'm really happy using this especially on a tab S8 ultra.

    I feel dissapointed to say this but although this app is excellent for my tablet, it is a completely different experience for my phone. The interface is different and not as quick-access and user friendly as the tablet version without any choice to switch to that interface. Please fix this and enable those shortcuts and side choices on our phones.

    I've been using this app on/off for a long while and, mostly, I love it. But anytime I start to add some text, God forbid it should go well! It freezes up at odd moments, or the keyboard just does not appear, or it'll vanish halfway through as I'm writing. I suppose this might just be an issue because I'm using it on my phone so one might not have the same problem on a desktop. However, I find the desktop version quite difficult to use after spending so long on the mobile version. Please fix!

    I've tested many different drawing apps and this, by a long stretch, is the best. the amount of variation you can get in your drawings using a simple mobile app is Outstanding. However, even though there is a huge amount of brushes I always seem to find you can't ever really get exactly what your looking for. I suggest widening the variety of lining brushes and simple brushes that help even with colouring. But all in all a fantastic app.

    Best drawing app out there. Get pro and a stylus, learn to use it (very intuitive) and draw. It's great. Amazing image transformation abilities (can simulate a curved surface on a 2d plane). 16 lines of symmetry (easily movable) making drawing wheels etc very easy. Very intuitive, lots of different brushes. I have 5 other drawing softwares (paid) and the pro version of this (~£5) beats all of them by miles. Please add a feature to blur a layer so I can do depth of field!

    A really well made drawing game and I've enjoyed using it. But there are still many flaws, sometimes when I had left a sketch in an unopend tab it would put random lines and holes in other layers of the art, not only that the app needs to have a dark mode becausd the icons and constent white tabs at the top has burned into my phonescreen
