I purchased ZiXi Pro and used to love it very much until this recent update. The new update made the brush tip too dry (too much fly white) and the choices of brush tip function doesn’t work anymore. Hopefully this problem can be fixed ASAP and I can change the rating back to 5/5.

The app does a good job of mimicking a pen brush, and I expect it’s going to save me a lot of wasted paper. it doesn’t provide examples, so you have to know how to write the characters you’re practicing before you start. That’s assuming you’re using it to practice Chinese — it’ll work with anything you care to write or draw. The interface is entirely in Chinese, so it might be a little mystifying for users who don’t know Chinese.
