Review summary

Overall, Sketches is praised for its clean, intuitive UI and strong drawing tools, especially layers, brushes, and color options, plus good Apple Pencil support. The biggest recurring complaints are the shift from a one-time purchase to a costly subscription that locks many features and marks. Users also report data loss after updates and crashes, especially on older devices. Consequently, while the app remains capable for quick sketches, many longtime users are departing over price and stability concerns.

Pros

Intuitive, easy-to-learn UI.
Rich toolset with layers, a variety of brushes, and a solid color system.
Good Apple Pencil support for precise drawing.

Cons

Pricing: shifting from a one-time purchase to an expensive subscription that gates many features.
Free tier is very limited; many essential tools require payment.
Stability issues: crashes on older devices and after updates, sometimes causing loss of work.
Data/access issues: reports of missing or inaccessible existing work after subscription changes or updates.

2026-08-21	T-*****	I always enjoyed the limited version because I don’t do a lot of drawing but now with the new update you’ve limited the limit to where you’re forcing people to subscribe. This was honestly my favorite sketcher and now I feel like it’s being taken away from me.

2026-08-19	Ca*****	This app started asking for $69 a year subscription, where Procreate costs one time payment of $15. Not to speak how much better Proceate and Procreate Pocket is compared to Sketches. So I’m really not sure what prompted the developer to ask for so much money.

2026-08-17	rv*****	I purchased this App years ago. As time went on, they changed the terms, and gradually (at first) made it more difficult to use the App by requiring the user to either pay for additional services/capabilities or reject the offer. Eventually, they denied access. Don’t do business with companies that take money and then change the deal.

2026-08-14	El*****	I bought the premium version of this app about a decade ago and have used it pretty consistently since then. I redownloaded this app to get some drawing in, just to be met with a paywall for a subscription to use the features I have already paid for. The developers could’ve at least tried to reciprocate the loyalty we’ve shown them. This is ridiculous
