Tayasui Sketches 4+

My Go-To Drawing App

I have multiple drawing apps but this is definitely the one I find myself going back to the most. Yes, I know Procreate (which I also own and love) has a lot more functionality and, if you need those extra features, go for it. But Sketches has everything I need most often, without the clutter of a bunch of additional options I’m probably never going to use anyway. The interface is straightforward and friendly. The app is rock steady and unbuggy. And it’s just damned fun to use. I even like the sounds. In fact, I almost always keep the sounds turned on with the volume up just loud enough to hear, without disturbing others. It’s heartbreaking whenever you find a favorite creative app that eventually gets discontinued. Sadly, that’s happened to me more than once. But it seems the developers of this app are really committed to it, which is just one more reason I’m glad I fell in love with this one. I plan to use Sketches for a long, long time. And I can’t endorse it highly enough.

I used to use this app to make most of my art until it updated and got rid of the community. The features are fine mostly, sometimes if there are too many layers it will crash. I don't know about others experiences but its always saved my work when it crashed. Now it doesn't have the community and you have to pay for more things? I had Sketches Pro before it updated so maybe I just didn't have to I guess? Also I noticed Pro is more expensive now, also not cool. And the community thing, I understand it was difficult to moderate but it was a safe community with simple features and not a lot of ways to give negative comments on others work. People mostly just had art contests and complimented each others work if there were any interactions between users at all. It's on instagram now, but most people who used the community aren't on there. Most people who used it weren't even allowed on instagram. So while I appreciate the updates to tools, I miss the simplicity and positivity of the community. If you do manage to improve the features enough to a point where you can put in the effort to bring back the community, please do because I think me and a lot of others would appreciate it.

Things need to be fixed

For when Sketches updates, they are always bug fixes. Nothing is actually fixed. When I got pro, I wanted to check out the community. It wasn’t there, then I went to the section that said daily activities. Found the community, with a blue background instead of white. Also, none of the pictures would load. I am typing this a day after I got pro, so I tried several times. Before I got pro, I liked to visit the community. Some people complained about their drawings being randomly deleted. All of these things need to be fixed.

Edit: I have fixed my problem, I simply deleted, reinstalled and restored my purchase. I can now see the community! People complaining about their art being deleted is due to being reported, yet almost everyone’s art, I see no reason to report it. I did all this without contacting developers, as I knew I could figure out the solution. Thanks, Tayasui(?) Sketches for being my favorite drawing app:)

Edit 2: Tayasui is my favorite art app, but guess what? I went to eat, then no community. I don’t really care about pro, but at least I experienced it. You can already get gradients, more layers, and more without pro. Still, Tayasui is my favorite app, even though it has problems.
