## Review summary

Flowpaper is praised for beautiful brushes and color flow, ease of use, and long-term value. However, users repeatedly note major updates changing the interface and core features, along with persistent UI clipping on iPads and inconsistent animation exports. A common drawback is the subscription-driven model gating features. Despite drawbacks, many reviews highlight Flowpaper's creative potential and ongoing improvements.

### Pros

- Beautiful brushes with stunning color flow and multi-color drawing options.
- Easy to use and affordable, with a long history and loyal user base.
- Strong creative potential through continuous color flow and simple tools.
- Updates bring new brushes and improvements that many users welcome.

### Cons

- UI controls are frequently clipped or offset on newer iPad sizes, making tools hard to see or use.
- Animation features often don't work as expected, with exports yielding blank images.
- Core features and the interface were altered or removed in updates, causing frustration.
- Many features are behind a subscription paywall, limiting access for casual users.
