Excellent on computer, specifically laptops. Very nice and performs well, just turn on high precision strokes and any lag should be entirely resolved. My issue is with mobile - you cannot draw in landscape mode. I personally find portrait mode to be very restrictive and annoying to draw with, so an option to switch to landscape mode would be much appreciated. If you have a touchscreen laptop, though, it's the best app you could get.

This is a top-tier drawing aid usable by any level of artist that can be used to make just about every type of digital art imaginable. It's easy to use, learn, and has enough advanced features for continued use throughout your entire artistic career. The brush engine is fantastic, zoom scale is excellent, layer interface is easy and the extra tools and manipulatiors are good for just about any type of image editing you'd want to to do or expect from a top-tiered DAW, but it is free.

I like the this app when it comes to drawing, it's fine and does it's job well, but when it comes to saving, it's become nearly impossible to get my CURRENT drawing to save the way it looks when I save it. The main thing is it will refuse to save with the color in, it will just save the line art. It doesn't matter if I merge the color and lineart layers or not, if I want to share or just save and upload, I have to take a screenshot of get my drawing the way it was drawn. Its super broken.
