Love it
I started using this app 1 day before the release of version 5. I made this sprawling and complex drawing of a customer journey map to map out the design of a brand new feature we’re working on for our app. I found the version 4 UI highly functional but felt it was really complicated and busy. I was only using the free version, since that was fulfilling my needs. That all changed with version 5. Version 5 introduces an all-new UI (and payment structure) which massively simplifies the controls while drawing, and lets you hide and show different panels if they’re in the way (the Layers button for example). I’m still confused about how the color palates work, so I’m using the “Recent” color palate and that’s doing the job. This tool feels indispensable to me now. That infinite canvas is amazing, and the sketch tools and features feel like a super expensive piece of drawing software at a fraction of the price. My favorite feature, and why it’s awesome for drawing journey maps and wireframes for designing apps, is this app’ infinitely-sized canvas. It’s like the biggest whiteboard ever and you can just keep going and going. Making super long journey map type of work is nearly impossible on fixed page size drawing apps, so this is truly revolutionary for me.

It’s now crazy good
this app has gone through many changes since my last five star review a couple of years ago. It’s really a different app now, only better than ever. They went through an evolution where there were so many powerful features being added, that the app lost its intuitive feel, and there was even one point at which it was sometimes frustrating for users like myself who just needed a go-to sketch program, and didn’t “live” in the app enough to keep up. Not any more. Somehow, with the addition and integration of powerful new editing tools that let you select and have your right-brain way with your drawing, the Wow is back. I think the key is that this app, unlike some other apps I also own (and like), is conceived from the ground up as a tablet program, and not an adaptation of a more PC centric package like GIMP or Photoshop, etc. The developers also release more updates than for any other such app I have, almost always containing useful features along with under the hood fixes, as though...oh, I don’t know, maybe they actually try using what they design or something. How nuts is that? Six to seven stars for this latest version.

Infinite canvas is infinitely awesome!
I’ve been using this app for a little over 1.5 years now, so it’s about time that I left a review. I was initially attracted to the fantastic color wheel in this app, but it was ultimately the infinite canvas that won my admiration. Having the ability to develop ideas fully without having to use multiple documents is simply brilliant. So, while I use several apps for my finished artwork, including Procreate and Affinity Designer, it is this app that has become go-to app for creative concept development. I use it for sketchnotes, storyboards, mood boards and anything else when I need room to work ideas and this app on a single, scrollable canvas. I don’t have document size limits or layer limits. And, because it is a vector based program with the look of rasters, scaling things up and down is easy, without any loss of quality. These are thing I just can’t do in the other apps that I use. Additionally, the user interface is simple to intuitive and easy to use. And, that color wheel is simply fantastic. So, while I use several art apps in my workflow for finished work, for concept development, it’s this app all the way!
