Buying this version to have to pay for a membership for other supplies I feel should be free with this version seems excessive. But it’s a great app overall
Rebecca rosebud • Jul 23, 2026
This is such a fun app so many brushes to explore and art styles to do so many backgrounds and accessories to make it cuter

I love the app but I wish you could get more stuff without having to get premium.
outputman • Jul 14, 2026
A good app so far, but why make people pay for the app itself if they still have to pay in app for more features? The only difference between this and Ib paint X is the ads and some other way smaller things.

To preface this, I’d like to say I’ve been using this app as my main digital art app for YEARS. I bought the paid version on all my devices and have purchased membership multiple times to access features such as 20GB cloud storage for the 100s of artworks I have. That said, I recently got an iPad to use for art, all this time I’ve mainly been using my Samsung phone. I bought membership on my phone so that I could sync all my artworks and download it all on the iPad so I could work on them here.

While doing the syncing and attempting to import my settings, I realized my account didn’t have premium on the iPad but that my phone did. After a quick search and trying to restore purchases, I found out that the membership doesn’t sync across android and apple devices. I find this so incredibly beyond stupid. This isn’t one of those apps where it’s tied to your App Store (like the paid version of this app for example), it has an entirely separate account and cloud system. If I purchase a membership for my account, that should sync across all devices that are logged into that account, regardless of platform. I did eventually end up buying the membership on here, but to say I’m severely disappointed would be an understatement.

I’ve loved this app since Ibis Paint X(free version) I had to have the paid app after trying it for free. Keep going and bring new functions and features to the app. And make some things more accessible for the free version too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Someone :c • Jul 9, 2026
Ok so I love this app so much. It does everything I need. But whatever is going on with the not letting people into the online gallery using the app is not ok. My friend said it took her to google to open it. But I don’t have a browser and so now I am unable to access my account and I am not happy about that.

Five stars so many brushes and colors I think that beginners would have a lot of fun using this app highly recommend this
I just don’t like the updates • Jun 27, 2026
I LOVE THIS APP SO MUCH IT HAS SUCH BETTER BRUSHES THAN SKETCHES SCHOOL when I was first making a drawing it was pretty hard at first, but then I realized just this day that I can make Chibi art this app is so much better than any other drawing app for me, but I wish you could flip the canvas which I don’t even know how to I will have to look it up, but this app is PERFECT for young artists out there and it is just such a great place to draw. It’s just like traditional art, but with blending tools filters and other things.
