User Reviews

Inspire is loved for its playback of brush strokes, rich blending, intuitive use, and portability, offering a mess-free, finger-like drawing experience on the go. However, recurrent stability problems, lack of layers, color-menu crashes, and requests for more brushes temper the enthusiasm. Overall, its unique recording feature and painterly blending appeal to beginners and stylus users, but reliability and feature gaps remain key downsides.

Pros

Video progress/recording shows brush strokes come to life, serving as a teaching/demo tool.
Large brush library with strong blending capabilities for wet-on-wet/oil-like effects.
Intuitive, easy-to-use interface with straightforward navigation, beginner-friendly.
Mess-free drawing feel that works well with a stylus and is great for on-the-go use.
Portable, pocket-friendly painting experience suitable for art anywhere.

Cons

Crashes and stability issues that can lead to loss of progress or unexpected exits.
No support for multiple layers; layering feature is a common requested improvement.
Color menu crashes or restarts the app when selecting colors.
Limited brush variety; many users wish for more brushes/options.
Some bugs persist across updates and performance can be unreliable on certain devices.

This painting app is distinct from other apps, my favorite feature is the video progress. Where after you finish you can see the animation coming to life from simple lines and smudges to a castle. The painting itself is great, it takes some time to learn but it’s easy and fun.
