Tayasui Sketches has really help me a lot with my art skills and productivity, and as a creative person I have used this app many times. I have lots of drawings on it and I am proud of all of them. This app has many nice things that I like about it, you can share drawings, trace over drawings you like and even learn how to draw! I have gotten this app a long time ago and it is good to see it progressing as well. It is kinda laggy and sometimes it glitches me out of the app too, but I dont mind as long as I can still draw.I also bought the pro version of this app and its even better! But I still think we can use the normal version and do better. Also one other thing, when the app glitches me out while drawing, and I go back in, sometimes it doesnt save my work and its all white. Maybe becuase Im on tablet? Also recently I have deleted all of my boring drawings (a LOT )and left the ones I am proud of, but the app uses all of my storage space.Overall this is a good app that needs a few fixes and I will still draw in it. Nice!

Right so a few weeks I got sketches pro, after having the free version for years, and it was good for about a week, but then everything started lagging and if I close the app for even a second all my drawings upload to the cloud (not necessarily a complaint can you just tell me how to stop) and my WiFi isnt the best, at all, so it took like an hour to load it in again, which is a shame because sketches is an app I like to use on buses and when I have short breaks (and no paper) and idk mabye its not you it might be my storage or smt but if you know how to fix it that would be great. this is a great app, I really love it and even if you dont have a stylus its still fun to work with and overall the best drawing app you could have. Also I cant find my drawings on sketches community so just a suggestion but can you add a section for your own drawings and see if anyone looks at them? (Yes I did wait the 24 hrs multiple times) And it kind of crashes a lot now and Im working on this drawing and it never saves on sketches, only in photos, which is kinda messed up so yea bug fixes would be nice :3

I first started using Sketches during Covid, while I was still getting used to using an iPad. I've always loved sketching/drawing/painting and so really loved being able to experiment with different techniques on the Sketches app - finding out different ways of creating art, without mountains of eraser dust and forests of paper!It's quite easy to lose hours with Sketches, and it rekindled my love of being creative. The beauty of being able to try out different ideas, not having to worry about making mistakes. I particularly love the Symmetry function, combining it with different types of brush strokes etc, to create something unique.I would definitely recommend Sketches to anyone who likes to dabble in any type of drawing - especially if you want to play around with ideas before comitting them to physical paper; the freedom to try something on Sketches and, if it doesn't work out, you can simply start again! I'm still learning about all that Sketches is capable of ...!

Ive been using this app for well over a year and love it so far (I have the full version which is well worth the money). However, Ive noticed something which appears to be a result of the new update as it didnt happen before that.If my pen tool is lower than about 1 on the scale slider (which it is on default size) the fill tool doesnt recognise my drawn lines and instead fills the whole screen. I use the pen tool much more than the others and dislike having to use thick outlines in my art just because the fill tolerance is unreasonably low. Prior to the update, the fill tool worked just fine on shapes drawn with thinner lines so I feel that this must be a new error. Please fix this if possible- I think either having a fill tolerance slider (other drawing apps have such a thing) or reverting the fill tool to how it was before would be the best solution.
