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

I did 5 stars so my review would get shown but I don't really like this app. It's not smooth enough and doesn't match how I like to draw. If your looking for a free drawing app, I suggest ibispaintX!thx for ready k bye! <3 :)

Hello Im Ashe and today Imma give you my honest review on sketchbook! :D SO Sketchbook is a AMAZING APP!!! MOST OF THE FEATURES ARE FREE AND THERE ARE NO ADS AT ALL EVEN IF YOU DONT PAY!!! And if you do pay it’s a one time purchase subscription!!! UNLIKE OTHER DRAWING APPS THAT YOU PAY A SUBSCRIPTION!!! And this app is pretty easy to use and it collects no data from you unlike ibis paint or other drawing apps!!! Anyways now time to get to the ideas bit. So my style is a anime style but with sketchbook I find it pretty hard to do that… so I think sketchbook should add page management *is where you can have multiple pages in one project for like comics and stuff* also sketchbook should add text bubbles, panel tools and perspective grids. And also sketchbook should also add an assets library where people can upload assets *like character poses and buildings and such* and animation WOULD BE EPIC AND ALL OF THESE FEATURES WOULD BE AWESOME!!! So please add it sketchbook PLEASEEEEE! So my final thoughts are sketchbook is amazing for beginners and experts it can create really beautiful art that a lot of the features are free but it can be a little limiting but besides that ITS 5 STARS I REALLY WOULD RECOMMEND! This app is really nice! :D and can create such good art
