Review summary

Users find 'Inky - Run Inkscape on Android' useful for accessing Inkscape files on Android devices, especially tablets and foldables, but overwhelmingly criticize its poor optimization for small screens, leading to tiny UI elements and difficult interactions. The app often crashes and shows compatibility issues, frustrating smartphone users. While the app faithfully ports the desktop experience and can display complex drawings, lack of mobile-friendly design, frequent errors, and user interface challenges limit its practical use on many Android phones.

Pros

Allows users to run Inkscape on Android devices, providing access to vector graphics editing on the go.
Successfully opens and renders complex Inkscape files, maintaining compatibility with existing work.
Supports use on certain devices like tablets or foldable phones when configured properly.
Some users appreciate the developer's effort to bring a rare Linux-based software to Android.
Useful for viewing and editing vector graphics files despite usability challenges.

Cons

The app is essentially a direct port of the desktop version and is not optimized for small screens, making it difficult or impossible to use on smartphones.
User interface elements, including menus and text, are extremely small and hard to interact with on mobile devices.
Frequent crashes and errors upon launch are reported by multiple users, reducing reliability.
Compatibility issues exist with various devices, and significant functionality is only achievable on tablets or devices with larger screens.
Lack of essential mobile-friendly features such as larger GUI elements, touch optimization, and dark mode.

2025-01-25	Ni*****	Incredibly disappointed. Was looking forward to having inkscape on my phone to work on the go. After paying and installing the app, it won't work at all. I have a Samsung Note 20 Ultra.
