## Review summary

Users overall praise SketchLab as an easy-to-use, teaching-friendly drawing app. The main repeated complaints are the limited character library and many locked items, with requests for a broader roster across popular anime. A minority note occasional prompts and minor friction. The key takeaway is strong positive reception for learning to draw, coupled with high demand for more characters and unlockable content.

### Pros

- Easy to use with both simple and challenging tutorials.
- Acts as a helpful drawing teacher for learning.
- Generally well-liked and regarded as a good drawing app.

### Cons

- Needs a much larger character roster with more anime series and characters (e.g., Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, Helluva Boss, Solo Leveling, etc).
- Large portions of content are locked, frustrating users who want unlockable characters.
- Some users report usage friction from prompts and occasional intrusive elements (e.g., rate prompts) while using the app.
