Extra Neatro

(2025 update) Even after all these years, it's still amazing that this art app still works as great as it does, even with and without S-pen! Only wish that the maximum brush-size limit could be increased. Aswell as the maximum amount of layers (original review, 2021) Amazing, no problems and does everything you pretty much need.

★★★★

Lautaro Mondaca

UPDATE JULY 2025: The app just got an update. I’m updating my review to 4 stars, hopeful that the developer will keep improving it, because this app truly deserves to keep going. UPDATE: The app hasn't been updated since 2023, and the developer doesn't respond any emails. The website and social media accounts haven't had any news for years, so unfortunately, the app has been abandoned.

★★★

Artisan Noteworthy

would have given this a better rating, however the sudden paywall to use features it always had for free lowered it. It used to be a good ap, now anything useful is locked behind ads and paywalls

This was my go-to app for drawing for over a decade. I loved it! But it has gone way downhill recently. I've lost work in the middle of drawing more than once. The worst was losing 24 hours of work as I was exporting the finished file. It was GONE. After that, I had to resort to saving my layers every hour or so in order to recover lost work. I tried to no avail find the temp files many times. I even got a new tablet. I've finally given up and am now relearning a different app.

John Grouspas

after trying medibang, sketchbook, infinite painter (a close second) and the (horrible) Adobe apps, I can now safely say that this app is the best. It has an unassuming interface, but after using it you realize how polished and robust it really is. excellent, realistic, customizable brushes. feels great and responsive with minimal lag. Highly recommended UPDATE: Opened the app after a long time and my gallery is gone. All my art, just gone. Unacceptable. Avoid like the plague.
