Asketch App Reviews

I really wanted an iPad app that mimicked the harmony web app and this is pretty close. My only complaint is that the menu is somewhat unresponsive at times. For future versions Id like to see community integration of some kind to share users sketches and perhaps the option to save/open pieces so they can be reworked at a later date. Screen capping to save is one thing but Id like the ability to import a picture to work on. This would also be great for sketching onto another drawing or photo!

My most frequently used drawing app! Highly expressive and great line / shadow work! Would like to see a few more brushes and ability to manually control the width of the stroke but otherwise a terrific drawing program.

This app is a great way to express all that artistic personality you have within you. This app with be like your using your very own pencil,but your using your finger. It shows the ways of art and different ways to draw what youve wished of drawing your whole life.it really does make you feel like you have known this way of art for years when really you just got this app today and its very easy to do the strokes with your finger and if you wish to lighten the color up,and or erase the mistake you have made. I must admit it is very hard to make the drawings on this app look non pro. I recommend this app for children over the age of 7 or 8 years of age.

This app is amazing see it used a lot very nice and epic. I think it would be kind of nice if there was a color section so you could go o that and also make color pictures, but very great app..:) :)

Simple, elegant UI that has an amazing range of options. Very fast response that makes drawing with this app easy and intuitive. Definitely the best of the bunch.

Easy to use and the few tools are more that adequate to produce great BW sketches. Its my favorite.

Very fluid and easy to use. Easy to pick up and understand, very tactile and works perfect. Would love to see an update that allows the user to export to library so that sketches can be developed further in other art applications.

Ive loaded this and reloaded it and it keeps crashing. When it does it wont open again. The only solution appears to be deleting it and re-installing. Then it begins again. I can find no way to actually use this app. It just wont work at all without crashing and then needing to be deleted and re-installed to open it... If you want to do this forever... Ill not see that dollar or that 30 minutes of my life again. How did this make it to the app store?

This would be a great app if it worked right, it stays open for like a min at most then crashes, I wish I would of read the reviews on it be for wasting money on thing app, if there ganna charge for apps they should make sure there apps work its a piss off to wast cash on things that dont work

Just bought it this evening and it crashed once I opened it and it wont reopen. I hope the developer contacts me to either fix problem or returns my money. I will post again to let others know whether matter was satisfactorily resolved. At present, I strongly advise not to purchase. Caveat emptor!!!

This is a great drawing app!! please fix this problem.

Out of all the drawing apps I own, this is the one I use most often (by far). Its simple to use and has nice results.

This is one cool app, and at the low price, a must-have for any iPad artist. The algorithm it uses to fill your strokes and the spaces in-between is a fascinating new paradigm that can surprise you and take you in new stylistic directions that you may not have previously explored. The user interface is minimalist, which can be nice, if well done. Here, the implementation is awkward: two-finger tap to invoke the small toolbar, but one-finger tap to close. Little user experience nuances like this seem like nothing at first, but all add up to an app that feels like a personal project, rather than a a professional app developers bread-and-butter. The sketching tools have an unusual interface for controlling pressure and density - kind of neat, but certainly not obvious without reading the help text that the developer provides here on the App Store. The controls are all gestural, pinch to change sample size and twist (like youre rotating something) to change pressure. The eraser tool is currently broken. Unless you set the density to 100%, you cannot erase to pure white - a faint shadow of the artwork you were erasing remains on the canvas. This makes it very hard to gradually erase something. The smudge feature that was recently added has great potential, and will hopefully become a great tool in future updates. The sample images that you see here on the App Store are seriously impressive. After a few months with this app I still have not found the control I would need to achieve that subtle level of shading. Regardless, the app has pushed me creatively in many new directions, and is my primary go-to app when I have the desire to sketch but dont have a specific objective in mind. A great creative tool! I do hope sales go up to encourage the author to sink some real development hours into this app and make it truly live up to its awesome potential!

Iwent looking for a simple drawing app and now Want a refund... Terrible app compared to sketchbook ink, which i found after this disappointment. Regret parting with the $$ for this. Terrible user experience, the erase tool is inscrutable, the draw tools are just not as good as sbook ink and well.. Ink is free. Look elsewhere

I love this app. It is easy to use and it gives you the effect of drawing with charcoal. For a quick tutorial of the functions, go to the developers website. There is an artifact when drawing thin lines close together but if you enlarge the drawing, you can eliminate that. It remains a challenge if you would like to have one continuous thin line next to another. For some reason I can only email drawings to myself (and save to photos from there), it will not let me save to my photos, but otherwise great!

I really enjoy using this app. It make you pay attention to what lines and how many you really need to get a beautiful piece of art.

Meh. Good for basic sketches. Doesnt aspire to be anything unique, hence doesnt inspire either. Keeps changing the pen to the colour pen even when I want the black pen. Shading is turned on all the time, hence cant just draw a line. Please fix.

over the long run I keep coming back to using this one. The tutorial made it easy for a neophyte. Thanks.

Love this app, just like carrying a sketch pad and pencil on,y better.

Changes to this app seemed to disable it, but in fact it is better than ever. Make sure you choose the right tool by experimenting with the two pencil types. A swipe gesture will toggle between hard & soft pencils. The hard pencil (squiggly line under)is good for basic drawing and the soft pencil (straight line) is good for fills & textures, but it takes multiple strokes to build up tone. Can produce a water color like effect. The sensitivity to speed and how you end a stoke is quite remarkable. I recommend this program to all of my drawing students.
