User Reviews for ArtStudio for iPad -Paint&Draw

Review and SplitView feature consideration

Man oh man, where do I start. Well first I have to say that, ever since I had my hands on this app, waaayyy back before I even got my second Ipad or my IPad Pro. This app has changed my life. I was finally able to draw in places outside of my computer and it enabled me to draw most of my art into DeviantArt, and due to the capabilities and features of this app that strongly mimics that of a computer art programmer like Photoshop and Paint Tool Sai, I naturally got a tonne of friends and recognition ☺️ With that being side, I would like to share an opinion on how this could be even greater. If it had the split view feature exclusive to the IPad Pro, applied to it. Importing photos and images are still gonna be legit but with split view, we could draw stuff and reference it straight off of images searched off of Google Images in Safari and Import images mostly for the color-dropping capability. 😁

Awesome Art App

To preface, I used version 5.98 on an iPad using iOS 9.2.1. This tool is very similar to Photoshop, however, understandably not boasting as many features as Photoshop does, though. It still has many very useful features, including layering, filters, relative ease of use, etc. The biggest issue I had with this app were ones that naturally come with any touch screen-based application, being things such as the issue of some of the screen needs to be used for commands, however, these can be hidden through a simple button on the top right corner. Another issue, however, is the price point. It can be tough to justify spending five dollars on any application, but for one who is serious about creating art and wants to primarily use one’s iPad to do so, this a great tool with lots of great features.

Awesome Art App!, Mar 23, 2016

Wonderful!!

This app is the only app I can use easily to draw, Photoshop, and more! I've been using this app for a very long time, but I have a few suggestions and comments, though. When you look at pictures from other people on the Online Gallery, it would be helpful to add comments so you can ask how you drew something, ask for/add tips, and more. It would also be neat if you could like someone's photo. Also, it would be nice if you added more pictures more often. I recommend this app-- and the money? Totally worth it! Don't hesitate, innocent citizen reading this- buy it! I rate this app 5 stars! Great work!EDIT: I'm writing this five years later. Cringed at my old review. Anyway, the app keeps crashing and destroying my art!! Glitches and makes it completely trashed. Please please please fix!!

Best game I've ever played!, Jul 25, 2019

my most indispensable app!!! 😍 🎨 💕

UPDATE: As of April, 2019, this is still my most indispensible app. It's a necessity. In fact, I've come back to it after using their Pro version because when cropping older screenshots, this app correctly exports the NEW image with the NEW current date. The Pro version hasn't been doing that, to my dismay, and has left the bottom of my camera roll in a jumbled mess of old dates. So I've switched back to this app, and I'm grateful it's here!!! It's perfect for my needs 😍PREVIOUS REVIEW:Finally, after working on a project in four other apps, and finding that what I wanted to do was impossible for me in those apps, I found ArtStudio!!!I was able to learn enough about the app to complete my complex project in about an hour, right off the bat.Funny thing was, even my existing Photoshop app couldn't seem to do what I needed, near as I could tell. So I recommend this over even Photoshop, for those of you with an iPad. Plus, you don't have to have any special ID (good grief) or use any "clouds" (which I refuse to do).This app is a lot of fun, allows lots of layers, and has a full Menu Bar that I love. My best app purchase so far!

I feel slightly cheated (please read, Luckyclan)

I have used this app for all my digital work. I loved the feature where you could share your work to an online gallery. I am an aspiring artist and using this app has been so far a great experience. I bought this for five dollars. Around the summer, the app started crashing. And I don't JUST mean occasionally. It has become more and more frequent, and I'm not the only one with this problem. Whenever I go to save my work, the Autosave takes 3 minutes (should be instantaneous or a few seconds) and if I log out of the app to reload, it will crash and DESTROY my art! The line art will turn into smudged bars or disappear altogether, and the colors will smudge terribly. It happens whenever I have more than 2 layers. And instead of fixing these bugs, Luckyclan INSTEAD creates a new version, this time SEVEN DOLLARS! No way am I paying 7 dollars for another art program when the one I have now should work fine. Fix this, please. I've lost hours and hours of hard work, and I've been devastated about it. I just lost a piece I was working on for someone that had requested it, and I took a screenshot of the gallery and cropped it. It is extremely blurry now. NO ARTIST should have to fear the destruction of their work, especially on such a promising app. Other than the not so recent crashes, I love this app. It has plenty of customizable tools and options. Just fix the crashing. Thanks.

AMAZING!

I'll admit, I was extremely hesitant to buy this app due to its price, however, I really needed a mobile art software. So, I decided to test my luck and purchase it. That was back in the summer of 2016. I still have that app to this day. ArtStudio is, by far, the best art app on the App Store. I've seen people saying that Auto Desk and their apps are better, but nothing's ever clicked with me more than ArtStudio. I've given up Toon Boom, Photoshop, and FireAlpaca for this app. I absolutely adore it!However, I own a Windows computer, so there's no way to get this beautiful creation onto my desktop. Perhaps if you guys gave a download link for those people who are not fortunate enough to have a Mac, that would be really good for me.I love ArtStudio. Maybe you could make an animation program with the same layout and such with it. It would totally help me, because storyboarding on ArtStudio is kind of torture along with animating, but I can't leave the app behind.Beautiful app, amazing composition.

Essential to the serious artist. You need it.

I should have posted before now. If I had posted earlier, I might have taken a half star off for the need to use a modal transform for layers, but it isn't that hard to adapt, frankly? And I would be adding on the half star anyway, now, because ArtStudio has been on 3 iPads of mine and was essential on each. We have a lot of choices, which I personally like, when it comes to art apps on iPad, but over and over ArtStudio has been the go to app which I use like I use Photoshop on my desktop computer. Photoshop is a must have, and similarly, ArtStudio does the same jobs on my iPad. And it does it in a very familiar and understandable way, if you normally use PS. So even if I get romanced by other apps on my iPad Pro, the images will probably be partially done in ArtStudio, as most images will touch Photoshop at some point when I am working on my Mac. I could list things that I think are great and there are many. But I think it is probably more meaningful to say that I don't think there is anything "wrong" with ArtStudio. Sure, more features, easier to do, I am on board. But ArtStudio is what I go to when I run into a problem doing whatever I want to do elsewhere. And that has been true over 3 well-used iPads. That is a compliment that I don't pass out much. It was the "first installed" art app on iPad #2 and #3. I probably will do so on number 4, if and when that happens. LuckyClan willing. Nice job folks.

Zero stars if I could.

This app is a very good app. A great app, a fantastic app! But unfortunately it did something that made me extremely mad. Maybe it was my fault, but the effort I put into my drawings being thrown out the window into a garbage bin on fire is too much for me. There was this drawing I was working on, it was by far the longest drawing I worked on, having at least 5 hours on it. When I went to add another layer, it said I already had enough layers. That's fine! So I went and tweaked some things so I could add another layer. I did that, and then my app crashed. When I went and opened it again, it would not let me on the app. I tried everything I could, but they all lead to dead ends. So I did the thing I dreaded the most. Deleting and re downloading the app. It's works again, but all of my works that I had yet to complete are all gone. Forever lost. So, if you're a simple artist, go for this app! But if you overload the app, it's game over. From, a probably overreacting artist.

Fandabbatastic app... I love it!

I've used Art Studio for many years. Thing is, when other art apps were promoted on my iPad, I admit, I tried them. But I finally learned my lesson and now I hit the “x” button. Thanks to it's wonderful designers, ART STUDIO IS THE BEST and WORTH EVERY PENNY FOR THE PRO VERSION.In reading other posts, people get mad cuz the program doesn’t save their work. Well duhhhh people! That is YOUR responsiblility to save it when setting up the preferences for each job (colors, size, features, layers, text fonts, etc...THEN SAVE IT. (And at the end of creation, in addition to saving it in .jpg or .png, I always save a .psd edible version into my i-tunes for archiving in case I ever need it again.)

Tool previewer still buggy on iOS 12.1.3

I love this app. It’s one of the few I found that has a selection tool and wand like Photoshop and let’s you edit and transform the selection without having to create a new layer. It has masking layers, cloud and render special effects, and I love being able to switch and sample colors just by holding my finger down for a few seconds. It looks like we can create our own custom brushes, too. There are a lot of features I haven’t used yet since I used the free version of the app with its three layers and small canvas size for three years. I felt it was worth buying the upgrade and I don’t regret a penny. :)Now on to the bug report. Since I installed the latest update (January 2019) I’ve been having lagging problems (I bought extra icloud storage so that should not be a problem). The worst bug is the swatch that previews the size and shape of a tool. It has been freezing up even after I make my selection and staying on my screen, hiding my drawing. I’ve had to stop working five times and force close the app to get the previewer to go away, since leaving the app is not enough to unfreeze it. I see you’ve worked on fixing that glitch before, so if you can fix it again, that’d be awesome. :) Thanks!
