Cardboard Stitches
16 February 2025
It was great, the brushes were good, it worked fine, and though some of its tools can be a bit glitchy. The issue I really had was when the backup images were in my camera roll, it was very disruptive and there were just big gray blocks in my photos where the backups were. You can't delete them either, so you have to have these unusable images in your camera roll. If you like things in place like me, it's a bit of an issue.

Starting to feel like it's all bit of a con, I don't remember the amount of times I've paid for this app and then it changes originally I paid for the sketchbook pro then it changed, paid for the extra brushes then it changed, paid again for something else then it changed now I've just seen you have to pay a premium just for certain features and the same pens/brushes I've already paid twice for. I get that you have updates and make changes but as a consumer it feels like a kick in the teeth.

I've tested many different drawing apps and this, by a long stretch, is the best. the amount of variation you can get in your drawings using a simple mobile app is Outstanding. However, even though there is a huge amount of brushes I always seem to find you can't ever really get exactly what your looking for. I suggest widening the variety of lining brushes and simple brushes that help even with colouring. But all in all a fantastic app.
