## Review summary

Users praise Fresco for its rich brush options and strong animation/storyboarding capabilities, plus being beginner-friendly and free with no ads. However, there is notable frustration with a recent UI overhaul that moved toolbars and controls, and many request an option to revert or customize the layout to the previous workflow.

### Pros

- Rich brush options and live brushes (including watercolor) with a lot of variety.
- Strong animation and 2D storyboarding capabilities for creative work.
- beginner-friendly and easy to use on mobile with intuitive gestures.
- Free to use with no ads or hidden purchases.
- Versatile toolset for drawing, painting, and design tasks (layers, options).

### Cons

- Major UI/UX overhaul relocates toolbars and controls to the top, causing widespread frustration.
- No option to revert or customize the workspace to the pre-update layout.
