It’s handy if your out and and about and you don’t have a laptop or anything. I mainly prefer to use the pc version personally, but it it still has some flaws such as when you login it just shows you what version your on for me at least. I would have thought it would have taken me to the asset store or something. That’s another thing I need to mention where is the asset store we have one for pc but not on the main screen of the mobile app. It would be so much better if you could look for tools for your artwork even when your logged out.

There are two ways to access Clip Studio Assets on the smartphone version :- Open Clip Studio Start, and tap "ASSETS>" in the right of "Recommended Materials".- Open Clip Studio Start, tap the Menu icon in the top right, and tap "Search for materials".If these menus do not appear, please try updating the app to the latest version.We hope you will continue to enjoy a variety of materials with Clip Studio Assets.
Not great to be honest.

Unfortunately as someone who needs stabilization to make sure my lines aren’t wobbly, when I turn it up the strokes “animate” themselves like they’re falling onto the paper or like I’m pulling a string I stead of actually drawing, which is distracting at best and frustrating at worst. This has never happened on the windows version, as it only drew lines in a smooth manner. But on the iPhone it’s different. I hope this isn’t the case on an iPad as I plan to upgrade to one.
Developer Response
Thank you for using the app.If the strokes are delayed due to a high Stabilization setting, please try checking "Show stroke preview to reduce brush lag" in "Preferences" > "Tools". This setting may improve stroke delay to some extent. If stroke delay persists, please tap "Help" > "Ask chatbot" in the upper right corner of the Clip Studio Start home screen, then tap "I have problems while drawing" > "A delay occurs when drawing". You may find a solution to your problem there.

It is very fun at first because you can blend colors which is an app I’ve wanted for a long time and it’s free but it is annoying that sometimes it freezes when you are drawing
Developer Response
We acknowledge the app performance issues as an ongoing challenge and are committed to continuously improving it.To address the issue, please check and adjust the following settings as they may help improve the situation:- Reduce the stabilization value- Decrease the brush size- Reduce the canvas size (number of pixels) and resolutionFor more information on using the app comfortably, please visit the Clip Studio Support page, which can be found by navigating to Clip Studio Start > Help (top right) > FAQ and search for “How do I optimize my setup to get the most out of Clip Studio Paint?“
・ When tapping Edit on the Smart Shape launcher, the shape converted at the start of the Smart Shape now appears at the left end of the launcher.
・ If a shape is initially converted to an ellipse or triangle with Smart Shape, it can now always be converted to a perfect circle or equilateral triangle. Also, quadrilaterals can now always be converted to a rectangle or a standard square.
・ When switching to edit mode for Smart Shape, you can now snap to fixed angles when moving shapes or control points while holding down the Shift key.
・ Changed some specifications of the sliders for adjusting fingers in the 3D hand model's slider mode. When you select a handle for editing fingers, the slider for bending the fingers now appears on top. Also, moving the slider to the left bends the fingers, and moving it to the right extends them.
・ Improved behavior when drawing on a vector layer using a brush with multiple image materials registered to its tip shape, while Save recovery data for every operation is turned on in the Preferences dialog.
