User Reviews

Sketchbook is praised for its broad toolset, beginner-friendly interface, and generally smooth performance with an ad-free experience and affordable premium. However, it faces reliability problems (crashes, unsaved work) and notable feature gaps (Alpha Lock, Liquify, mobile animation). Palette-saving limitations also appear in multiple reviews. Overall, it’s a capable, accessible drawing app, but users should be aware of stability issues and some missing mobile features.

Pros

Wide range of brushes and tools with multiple features (layers, blending, and the ability to insert an image and draw over it)
Beginner-friendly and easy to use on mobile, with generally smooth performance and responsiveness
Ad-free experience reported by several users (no ads in many reviews) and a value-focused premium option
Free core brushes and tools with an affordable premium option, providing good value without mandatory subscriptions

Cons

Crashes and force closes, plus instances where work isn’t saved, leading to loss of progress
Missing essential features such as Alpha Lock, Liquify, and mobile-specific animation/flipbook capabilities
Inability to save custom colors to a palette (palette management limitations)
General stability issues and bugs that affect consistent performance across devices

My freind told about this app and it is the best! You can place images and color them, and there are no ads!!! Also, there is a choice if you wanna get premium, but I think there is no need to bc it literally gives you everything! Its the best!!

I don’t understand why they don’t have the animation feature on the iPad Pro version. Pro Create has that feature, Clip Studio, Adobe, and now even apps that out right suck. I like this app’s tool and brushes the most. I just miss the animation feature, since I had projects I was working on before I lost access to the desktop version.
