User Reviews for Linea Sketch

Great for Notes

I initially downloaded the app when it was released as it had been reviewed so well for notes and sketch noting. I’m not much of an artist, just a napkin sketcher and this app makes it fun to just sit and sketch for a while. I primarily use it for notes and brainstorming as I don’t retain much when I try to type notes. This app has always been great for that, and the 2.0 update was a surprise to me and added so many great updates such as the select tool, split screen (great for notes) and the portrait orientation. If I could request one addition it would be the ability to export to .pdf. I have to figure out a workaround currently to get my notes to PDFs and it would be great to have that feature inbuilt. All in all, this is an enjoyable app to use, simple yet functional. I have recommended to many others and would purchase again in a heartbeat.

Linea is the Underdog of Art Apps

This update catapulted this app to a whole new level. I’m an illustrator and as many with the same profession we use powerful apps to achieve our projects. Linea has been the brainstorming, conceptual art, note taking and pre-sketching needs app we can’t live without. I realized I use it too much when I found struggling organizing and searching for artworks inside the app. Suddenly I was screaming to have pro features in my brainstorming app and now I can say that Linea is no longer a companion app. Linea app is a pro illustration tool as good and useful as Procreate is for hard core sketching needs. Congratulations!

Best painting app on the App Store! But could improve substantially still!

This app is very simple and reliable, it is particularly similar to that of Microsoft Paint. But there is one issue that I’ve noticed when using this app. When creating my drawing especially outlining drawing, I tend to notice that the boldness of the drawing tends to bolden by itself without modifying the cursor size. I have especially noticed this when re-arranging/re-sizing and positioning outlined drawings, the outline sometimes tends to look thicker than the other drawings. Also when using the color fill-in option, the colors don’t fully fill in every corner or the color fill has some color errors. Perhaps the developer should make the color fill-in option more precise and refined. Other than that, this app is awesome.

Really smh😒

This app is pretty good and I’ve been using it for about three years now. You can use this app perfectly without having a premium subscription. There is just one thing that this app….YOU NEED A DANG SAVE BUTTON!!! I was working on a project (that I loved) that I was working on for two hours. I paused for about 15 minutes to have a break, and when I came back it was sent back to sketches. My picture had color and a background that I worked on for awhile, and it just ,like, got up and walked away. This is ridiculous and I would like to state that there would be a save feature that you don’t have to pay for. An automatic save as your drawing would be great. Even a manual save would be fine. I don’t care if your developers ignore my request, but this would affect my liking of the best drawing app that I’ve seen. And don’t try me, I gave many of these to other apps and even gave them deadlines for deleting and spamming their mail boxes. I’ll give you two months to fix this (please🙁) and keep a great costumer with over 30 paintings and many hours on your app.SincerelySome who like to keep their artwork 😒

I’m not an artist

I drew a scene from my forthcoming book with Linea, so that I could get it out out of my head and describe it accurately to my audience. From there, I was hooked. Linea is a expertly-developed app (hey, that’s what the Iconfactory does!) that you can use efficiently even if you’re not an expert. I used to draw stick figures, but, like other apps from this developer it’s an engaging app that is simply fun to use! Before you know it, you’ve got a canvas full of your drawings! People that are upset with subscriptions will likely complain, but like anything in this world - if you want quality, and if it saves you time, money, or frustration - you should probably be paying for it. Linea is a wonderful, easy to use drawing app that you should check out.

Ill-thought subscription model

While I enjoyed using this app for its straightforward user interface and tools, I’ve decided to jump ship after the recent announcement that the app is changing to a subscription model. To add insult to injury, customers who bought the app in 2018 (I got it in late 2018) or earlier will lose access to the app they paid for without either a refund, grandfathering or a free year. I started using Linea as a replacement for 53 Paper, though at least Paper’s developers had the decency to allow previous customers to reclaim their purchase without adding yet another sub. Why these people feel it’s acceptable to rent art tools, I don’t know. I deleted the app, since I won’t qualify for any discounts and refuse to support this business model. If it were part of Apple Arcade, something required for work, or a continually developing service, I’d do it, but it isn’t. The sub price is low, but it’s the principle that counts. I feel like a victim of a bait and switch. At least let us use what we’ve paid for!

Long Time Linea Sketch User

Just wanted to take time to compliment the Icon Factory dev team for doing a great job with the new 4.1 enhancements. The masking feature is extremely helpful as well as the “clear Ink” for subtle erasing / shading. I appreciate how you’ve integrated in these enhancements without cluttering up the UI. It’s still clean, simple, and easy to use. I enjoy using Linea because it’s the closest thing I’ve found to emulate an analog sketching experience. The limits you have are a good thing in my opinion (like only 5 layers). This forces you to focus on actually sketching and not fiddling with dozens on layers, layers settings, drop-down menus, and 100s of brushes and other distractions. It’s more like breaking out a paper sketchbook with a pencil.There are other apps like Procreate I love too, but all my initial drawings start out in Linea. If I need the advanced filters and layer modes I can quickly export to other apps.I’ve seen some folks leave negative reviews about the limited tools in Linea. But to me it’s a nice balance. You provide all the essentials and nothing more. And everything works perfectly even on my older iPad. I just like the simplicity of this app and appreciate the attention to detail you’ve given it.And I almost forgot to mention collections. That’s another great addition since I have so many drawings. Will help me organize things much better.Thanks for an awesome upgrade!

Well thought out app even for the youngin’s

I have 2 young sons ages 6 and 8 that constantly like to draw. They fill up all drawing tablets and notebooks that we get them and turn to raiding our printer for more paper. I introduced this app to them and it’s been great for the environment and for the mess of half used sketch and doodle papers spread throughout our house. I also use it to easily help show them math concepts and other things. The app layout is well thought out, enough so that my boys have no problem navigating and using even the otherwise more advanced features. I have a slough of other well known art apps and they have their place, but this one is my most often used one if anything for how my boys and I can enjoy drawing together easily.

Still my go to drawing app

Update:This is and will always be my favorite drawing app. I do almost all of my client work in here because it just works the way I expect it to. I forget that I am using an app because it just feels so much like a real sketchbook. over half of my client work is completed using this app because the output matches my style so well. not to mention the addition of layer masking has eliminated the few pain points that I still had with the app. if you’re not using this as an artist my only question is why not??original review:I am an artist and illustrator and I find that no matter how many different drawing apps I try I always come back to this one. The pencil and blender brush are great and the fact that they finally added text and a watercolor brush make it indispensable for me as an artist. I know subscription fatigue is real but if I really like the app supporting it’s development is ok by me. And it’s is only 99 cents a month … most people spend more on a cup of coffee daily. I know this is an overly glowing review but it truly is one of my favorites.

Needs more features.

I downloaded this app because on the web it said that this was an easier version of procreate. It is easier, but there are lots of things that this app needs to have or change. 1: More brushes. There are only like 7 or 8 brushes and that is not enough at least in my opinion. At least put a tab where you can import brushes or make your own. 2: Change canvas color feature. I made an outline with white (because that was the color i needed to draw ripped jeans) and I couldn’t see it AT ALL. I just need a tool that says “change canvas color” so i could change it without having to start COMPLETELY OVER. 3: Change the premium. If you ask me, I would only put “More brushes” and “Import brushes” into the premium. WHY DO YOU HAVE THE TEXT OPTION IN PREMIUM??? The pictures/videos that you make to advertise are just casually using the text feature without saying it’s premium??? I can literally just take a screenshot, import it into ibisPaint and add text for FREE.Please add these thing to your app.Sincerely, someone who wants to use the text feature 😒
