Straightforward and easy to use- the daily prompts are nice, along with the timelapse feature and option to import images. However, when I try to quickly draw with a large brush, the app crashes and my work is lost. Lately, the button to create a new drawing is often missing, so I'm unable to draw at all. When I am able to create a drawing, there is a heavy amount of lag, which makes it extremely hard to work with. This was my favorite sketch app, but sadly it's unusable for me at the moment

Great art app, for sketches, doodles you name it! I've been using it for 4 years and increase in number of layers and the pressure recognition is great, though the UI can be difficult due to how the touch screen works, and the sensitivity of the tools' slider size. The new login authentication is annoying, it's great for confidence in security but I have to do it everytime I fully reopen the app, and then it doesn't even go back into the app after I login but to the listing on the playstore.

Pretty good app, it runs smoothly and has a simple interface but whenever I go to another app and go back, the screen freezes. And when I turn on the "flip horizontal" button and zoom into my canvas, it keeps flipping left to right until i draw a line on it, please fix it!! ;((

Ever since the new update to pixiv sketch's drawing software, there is a huge delay in detecting drawing motions only in this new app. It also complicates the much simpler drawing software it had before. There is almost no way to draw well in pixiv sketch itself now. Bad update. The joy of using the pixiv sketch drawing software to draw fast and simple sketches for prompts is gone now. Im sad and frustrated.

It was nice to follow other artists and see their work-in-progress, even live. The only downside is that I can't replay their lives if I miss them.

This app is good and the sketch part is easy too use but after zooming in on my drawing most of the times it gets stuck and won't let me draw anymore and I have to exit the artwork and go back in but it's started happening a lot now I'm not sure why
