Can’t say enough good things about clip. I’ve just finished a 400 page graphic novel completely in clip. Honestly, I use it basically every day. And when I have had to ask for customer service, they have responded quickly and kindly.
No perpetual License?
WolfieYote
Love the app, but can’t draw in it anymore. Why is it that Perpetual Licenses are only available for PC / WINDOWS or Mac, and not IPad? Seems rather silly and a way to loose customers. I will not do monthly or annual. So changing 5 stars to 2 stars for that.
Possibly the best drawing app on ipad

I use tjis app every day alongside procreate. The tools on this app are amazing!!! I cannot recommend this enough
Great!
Simon who animates
Great for working with implies 2d animation! Works well on tablet. Not as responsive as Procreate, but waaaaay more feature packed. Great tools for coloring to.Definitely not a have fun and draw a bit app - this is the real deal. Expensive though.
・ Resolved an issue where the application could unexpectedly close due to insufficient memory on certain devices, ensuring a smoother and more reliable creative experience.
