Sketch.Book - Draw,Drawing Pad Reviews

I don’t want anything I say to come across offensive or rude, but what I am about to say is how I truly feel about SketchBook . So SketchBook to me isn’t the best. I’m sure the developers put lots of effort into it but it just isn’t great and I have reasons I think that. So one of the reasons I don’t really like SketchBook is that it has ADS! Like art apps to me aren’t supposed to have ads. You’re supposed to just draw and have no interruptions I thought, but no. Secondly I have to hold my phone sideways and that isn’t the way I like to draw really. Next things next there is NO fill tool 😫😤. That is just something that is really essential in an art app. Something else I don’t really like is when I’m trying to change how dark my color is, it gets stuck at a certain point and won’t hardly move. That might just be a glitch on my end but idk. Then if there is an ad and you hit the X but to exit out of the ad you get out of the ad like normal but if you don’t hit the X button IMMEDIATELY the ad will be stuck on your screen and it WONT go away 😒😢. But finally here are the positives... it has it where it is pretty simple and isn’t too complicated. You CAN make your own custom colors. You can also import photos from your gallery. You can buy the pro version of SketchBook for a cheap price of $6.99. And yea, that is what I think about SketchBook. Thank you to all the developers and others who helped create SketchBook!

First thing is I only rated it one cuz I had to rate it The fact that you hardly have any choices makes me upset, and probably everyone who makes realistic pics would agree if you want us to go wild and stuff you gotta give a lot of shades for different colors! Maybe consider giving those little things where you choose you choose the shade of each color. Just an idea. Besides if I were to use it I have an ad pop up like pretty much every time I press on the photos, tools, etc. which most people wouldn’t like that (including me) and not only that but the fact that the ad stays on my screen... (not even the whole screen) leaves me in frustration, and soon well idk... so I just get off then get back on and it goes on and on... you get it😅 anyway..... sure SketchBook looks better then it is.. it’s quite annoying so I deleted and found a better drawing app... but if you make improvements and stuff I’ll.. by the way I mean a LOT of improvements, you know who am I kidding this is my opinion on the game so I might ask for more and well.... others I’m not sure. If you are reading this do decide whether you want it or not... take it from me it isn’t the best and if you read this whole thing thank you 😊 for taking your time to read this LONG review I’m glad you did

I do not recommend this game for anybody that is 7+ bc the pics look sooooo professional! But when you open the game it looks like a game for 6-! Here’s an example of what would happen…..(remember this is just a story)….Your on SketchBook Store looking for a perfect sketching game, then you come across this game called “this app” and it looks sooooooo cool!! You look at the pics to see if it’s not a little kids game and the pics show a beautiful sunset with thin outlined trees! And you say to yourself “cool”!” I will install this for sure!” And right after you install it your mom calls you for dinner, you drop your phone and go to the table! After your dinner you pick up your phone again and open the new drawing app and see that it IS A LITTEL KIDS GAME!! There is only ONE TOOL! And you try it out….then you notice that all the colors ARE THE COLORS OF THE RAINBOW! There is no teal, there is no pink, there is no brown! You delete the game again and make a semi good review. (Remember this is not what happens to me it was just a story example)
Thank you! -Me

I think it’s a great app and I recommend getting it! but, the only thing I don’t like about it is that you can put to much detail into it without making it look I wouldn’t say wired but, odd. But I think it’s great if you want to quick draw something! Anyway I think it really depends on the type of person you are. If your a person who likes putting detail into drawings then I recommend not getting SketchBook. But, if your a person who doesn’t mind putting much detail into into it then I recommend getting SketchBook!

Yes, it is free, but so are a whole range of other creative apps. Most have way more options like different brushes, a blending palette and layers, just to name a few.
Nice is the possibility to draw the shapes with easy elongations and sizing, but they cannot be inclined in any direction. Too bad...
However, the major grief I have (because it is really annoying), is that SketchBook opens upside-down. Yes, it will not rotate when turning my iPad Pro into another orientation. The icon looks normal on the logo screen, but upon opening, everything is frozen into place upside down and nothing I can think of can fix it. Please correct this!
Gripe #2 is that you now have packaged a second app into this one: Colorstory. One cannot take this part out, unless one deletes the entire app. However, it comes back with every download, so it is not a glitch, as I had hoped.
I guess I’ll just delete it from my iPad until it gets more attractive!

I really like SketchBook but I do know that there is some glitches and when I try to download something it won’t let me download it to my cellular device and I would like to keep it on my cellular device for a long time so if you guys could actually do something this would be a very big help for me because this is super hard I can try to do it but then it’s harder and I have to keep on doing it over and over again and I have to watch ads two times already and I did it two times and I don’t think that I can get this through because I cannot get this done. I don’t think that it would be that easy. And I do like SketchBook so I do read it a five stars! Thank you.

just amazing
the end is a bit of an injury and I cannot now have not been able on SketchBook for about three weeks or so after I’ve seen my first review in many reviews it’s really great fun game but you can’t even play with friends anymore please fix that problem the way to get your coins are hard at times without having enough cash you’re just trying again first time here tg was yy very nice little spot very addictive
d really enjoyed our food there were some good quality drinks we had good service
I’m going home by by by:Michael if either one either tomorrow afternoon before work today let me know when really comes up

I guess they never miss huh
Anyway, I really enjoyed SketchBook. Unlike the last app I had, this one doesn’t crash and delete all of my work. I am an artist and was really looking for an app that I could edit photos on, usually to write words on them. I can also sketch really well and have access to many helpful tools. My one complaint is that for the stamps and stickers, on SketchBook Store preview I was really looking forward to editing photos like that. You have access to very few of these things which is disappointing and upsetting. I recommend giving us access to more stickers and stamps.

There are not manny drawing options or anything special about SketchBook, and there are glitches such as if i use the circle tool then the undo button it sometimes puts two to three large circles in my work, and there is no way to save my art unless i use screen shots, I found that out the hard way.
I think you have a good start here with basic drawing options but there are no shading tools or layers, and it's a shame because the other app that i use is free and has these things plus more, but it is not an option for this device, I see potential in SketchBook and i hope to see it improve over time and development.

Thanks for reading. 😁

I am under the age of 18 and I’m all for user friendly stuff, don’t get me wrong this is an awesome app....but it does have some kinks. I used this and played around with this for an hour or two and one of the main things that bothered me most was that it pre-layered. What I mean by that is the more you color in a spot the darker it gets. I don’t exactly like that but if you do this would work great! I also don’t think this is the best app to use on phones ( especially I phones)

This game has is so amazing you will want to keep it when you download it you will be doing art all day you won’t want to stop playing it because it is so cool and amazing you will want more of the same art games designed by them I love this game and I think you would to you would not like the game until you can play with the game so download the game

It was good at first..When I cleared my drawing it gave me a add. When I waited until it ended I could not see any button I could push then “Download app now” Also it gave me two options. One would be SketchBook then the other one was a whole new app I had to download. Many times a got kicked out again and again. Also it was hard to make any good art because I couldn’t shade any colors. My drawings looked a little sloppy. I even used a ruler and I did not help one bit. Most of tools you have to buy. So it’s like you have to have money to have good art. I would say try this out if you wanna waste space on you iPad, phone whatever.

I have to get the car back to you and then I’ll get you to go to the the house to pick you guys at your place in about an hour or a minute to meet up for lunch or lunch with me or I will call him when you have time and I’ll talk to you when you have time and I’ll let you know when you have time for the day or so I’ll be home by the time you have to go home I need you to pick you some stuff for you.

So this is where you make art? Yes! SketchBook is somehow really good! I first got SketchBook in 2019 I used to draw and I had the shapes and canvases when they didn’t cost money but now they do! It’s okay if you get mad. Just don’t worry about it.. I use SketchBook for animations. And this is really good! Am I right? *yeah* You could make any drawing you like. Whatever drawing. Or make sketches and doodles and stuff.. So yeah. Have a nice day/night.. Cya!

SketchBook will ask you to rate it not 10 minutes after starting it up. After that it will bombard you with the same request every 30 seconds or so. I gave it one star because after about 7 or 8 rounds of this, SketchBook started getting on my nerves. I understand the want for a review by a developer, but this is ridiculous. I didn't even get a chance to test everything and it seems like half the experience is pressing [later]. I would have been more than happy to give it 5 stars had it just asked for the review after an hour of use. (Or something around then.) So here is me rating it so it'll stop harassing me.

I love SketchBook so much because it has a lot of colors you can use and I definitely recommend SketchBook because it is so much fun and whoever saying it’s really bad ummmmm shut up this is the best or app I have ever come across I mean yeah I’m. A beginner in art but this is the best thing I’ve ever come across so I definitely recommend that’s why I gave the rating that I did and I love this so much I’m always gonna use SketchBook

I love this app because you get to write in it and I love you for making this app thank you for making it all of the time would do it I just started hearing of it but is the best and I want you to know that I like to this app thank you bye-bye. Thanks for being a nice man or woman thank you so much I love this app am I just started so thank you I just in the whole wide world I will come to you him or her I just thank you

I don’t normally make reviews but I think SketchBook could be better, my first problem is that there is ALOT of adds, I had a pop up add almost every 10 seconds. Number two is that it’s kind of hard to draw on. I think these things can change.

Ok so, I was doing a video on line art for gacha characters. So I was trying different apps other than ibspaint X and I tried doing it. It was nicely going on and then when I got to the end it was smudging my painting. I was very disappointed that it didn’t work. Although, it can be useful for other things. It’s not terrible but I would not recommend this to a friend for line art. It’s not that useful b/c it smudges and gets all dirty and I don’t like it. But it was a fun experience trying it out and seeing if it works or not. Just please fix the smudging.

Thanks!! ❤️

I'm an art student who is currently testing out different free products. SketchBook has the bare minimum, with only brush size and opacity.
An art app should have different brushes, blending tools, and layers. SketchBook doesn't have any.
If I'm being honest, I would never get SketchBook again. It's probably fine if you're just wanting to doodle, but other than that it's not the best.
SketchBook also asks for reviews very often, maybe every minute if you're not touching the screen. I've seen the developer answer people with the same complaints saying that it will be fixed, but it's been a year and nothing has changed.
TL;DR
SketchBook is bad. It's fine for doodles, but if you want something professional you're not going to find it. No brushes, no blending, no layering. Autodesk this app is much, much better, along with Adobe Illustrator.
Hope this helped!

The delay on the redo and undo is very annoying, i cant do anything in the time while its trying to undo or redo, i sometimes mess up pressing it multiple times because the delay won't let me draw or do anything with the sketch it is very annoying and can mess up sketches a lot, the erase option is good but not efficient too, it doesn't erase huge amounts, it doesn’t only erase one thing, and it takes a long time to erase the whole screen, even with the biggest size of the eraser.

I think this coloring app is so fun so far when I just got it. There are sure lots of ads though! I would take this into consideration, even considering that some of my favorite games and fun apps ALL have ADS! I just drew some poofy haired man, and he turned out funny! Please make a new update. Looking forward to using this more.

4 stars.

Just started using SketchBook for rough sketches. The freehand design and drawing reminds me of the basic paint program on the windows operating system. While I am using touch screen interface to draw with my finger, I would still suggest that you use a stylus pen for serious drawing. The free price tag was what sold me and I needed a basic art app for work and relaxation. SketchBook hits all three interests.

I have had SketchBook for many months and even paid to upgrade.
It worked fine until recently when all of a sudden you can’t get rid of the tools from the buttons on the bottom of the drawing page. Therefore when doing your own background you have blank on either side of your drawing instead of the color you want. This is very frustrating and no one has contacted me on how to resolve the problem.
If anyone one understands and is having the same problem, please help!
Thanks

And I downloaded SketchBook literally 90 seconds ago and it already interrupted me literally 3 times to ask me to review SketchBook . It might be a good app if you had given me more than 30 seconds to try it out. So be careful what you ask for-or at least when you ask it. Because my review of your app is based on my entire experience of it in this very short period of time. And I am not someone who goes back and changes my review, if I even am willing to try your app again after such poor customer service.

I love this app because it’s great to sketch with and practice math facts on! I love to use SketchBook so I give it 5 stars for its well designed details and its useful abilities I can practice math on SketchBook and get sooo much better at it I mainly use it to practice my math skills and facts SketchBook is useful if your reading this give it 5 stars right now I love it!!!!

Before I updated SketchBook , there was a lot of bugs. Like, if I use the undo button, and I have one of those shape things on screen (like, straight line, circle (stroke), square (stroke), circle (fill) and square (fill).) it immediately has that shape everywhere on screen. forcing me to erase everything. and when I updated it, it made all the shape things “premium” even though it wasn’t like that before! just don’t buy SketchBook. it isn’t very good.
