This app is surprisingly good, i had no problems with the interface but the multiple windows can be a bit confusing. The slime brush is awesome, and it even works for messier sketches to fill it basic colors, all the brushes are fine, you start off with a small selection, but you can make more. The only thing i do not like is the automatic colorpicking, whenever you go to scribble for a longer period of time it makes you use the colorpick tool and it is super annoying having to go back and change my colors everytime i accidentally use it and i have no idea how to turn it off. Other than that, this art program is alot of fun to use and very simple.

Thank you so much for your review! You can disable the long-press color picker feature in the canvas settings. Tap the gear icon on the canvas toolbar and select "None" from the "Long Press" dropdown in the "TOUCH GESTURES" section. Alternatively, you can adjust how long you need to press before a long-press is recognized using the "Long Press Duration" slider next to the dropdown. I'm also planning to add a dedicated eyedropper tool in a future update. Hope this helps!
Awesome and Unique!

At the time of this review the program is practically free! Only 2 none essential features are premium only so try it for yourself if you’re reading this review! I wanna support development for this software because I see the potential!Honest take:This program isn’t trying to be Clipstudio, procreate or Ibis etc. this software feels specialized? First of all? The slime brush is awesome!So fun to use, makes getting a color base layer for sketches so much faster or if you’re a digital painter it’s easier to fill in certain lined areas!The slime brush worked with the pencil tool which surprised me usually programs have trouble detecting light transparency brush work or textured brushes? So this works amazing with my personal style and workflow.Second of all, I personally love the grainy pixel texture of all the brushes in the software! Even with anti-alias on they still retain a bit of pixelation on the edges? Not bad! Just unique!I find this texture gives for a very fun look to digital paintings or doodles! I see a lot of potential for this app, it feels good to use.The brush selection isn’t very big starting out! But that makes sense since this software is still new? You get the option to edit your own though, so it’s fine!UI is a bit confusing and takes a couple minutes to get a hang of since it’s unique I feel this program would benefit from a user manual with pictures on each tool or a short video tutorial going over tool UI placement etc.The way windows layer or stay open on-top of eachother can get a bit strange… but that’s just a nitpick! This works and it’s fun and that’s all that matters!Gotta say I’m impressed! Unique and functional and I can’t wait to see what this becomes! You’re doing amazing dev team!Hope to see this get more attention!
