## Review summary

MediBang Paint for iPhone is praised for being easy to use with a strong brush/tool set and reliable performance over years, making it suitable for illustration, flyers, and light editing. The dominant downsides are aggressive ads and monetization that locks many features behind a subscription or ad-watching model, plus UX clutter on small screens and persistent layer bugs. Crashes add to the frustration, leading some longtime users to seek alternatives despite the otherwise solid core drawing experience.

### Pros

- Easy and fun to use.
- Rich brush and tool options for illustration.

### Cons

- Intrusive and pervasive ads that interrupt workflow (after saves, when leaving the app, or during use).
- Premium paywall and ad-based monetization that locks brushes/features behind subscriptions or rental (e.g., rent brushes for an hour) after updates.
- UI/UX clutter and confusing layout on small iPhone screens, making tool placement and navigation harder.
- Layer management bugs (dragging layers into folders can fail or cause items to disappear; layer list scrolling can freeze).
- Crashes and stability issues reported by users (app sometimes crashes or becomes unusable).
