Yep. Again. This is another promising app, but once again, lack of palm cancellation...i don't understand this. 100s of drawing apps on the store and mostly every single one fails to add a pen mode only, which is more than necessary for every single tablet that is pen able, like my Samsung Tablet S7+.
They deleted features and put them behind a pay wall. I've had this app since 2012. I used it to practice kanji or doodle now and again. I opened it today and they had put all the brushes and background images behind a pay wall. Even ones that used to be free. Deleted the app very disappointed
I purchased both the Android and iOS for iPad versions. I used the Android version to create the orthographic representation of a conlang (constructed language) I created, while the iPad versions was used to create several sumi-e calligraphic paintings which I printed, framed, and gifted. I liked this app and even find it cathartic.
it is an excellent app. initially i was upset when i realised that zen brush 3 has water colour simulation with smear smudge and all sorts of hyper realism but then i realized that zen brush 1 has its own place. great app . i just wish they introduce canvas zoom in before they abandon development
I honestly think its rather stupid to have to buy to undo and redo, as all artists usually need that and all free art programs usually have that. Also the lack of color is abit upsetting.
I really enjoyed the style and it is a good drawing app but putting the undo button behind a pay wall is insanely stupid I can understand putting some of the backgrounds behind a pay wall but the undo button seriously!?
Rubbish,paid and nothing different,all geared toward IOS which considering it is coming through as a Samsung s pen app is just plain wrong. No colors,only shades of black and some templates.
Undo button is locked behind a paywall. Yeah no thanks. Fairly good looking recreation of sumi-e but that is just greed beyond the pale. Could get comparable from Medibang Paint and more for free.
I like it. Really. But, all of the papers are only available if i'll upgrade the app! I mean, i'm still a student and i don't have any money on me.. So yeah, thats the issue.
Wow all these Comments about having to pay for apr or having to pay for Unlocking the undo Option or for more brushes are Idiots.the Creator has given you a "TEST" app.I personally think Its a brillent ldca . If U want to Undo or Save, or all the full Options, PAY FOR IT. Sheesh ! Now having Said all that.this is a very nice app. Well worth the Small cost.
wide variety of line widths, mulitple tones by layering two mid-tones...quite nice for quick sketches, really
Great app, but will you update the version in Samsung's Galaxy Store so that I don't pay for this app twice just to update it? It would be nice if the developer responded...
my favorite app for Chinese caligraphy, but crashes whenever it can't fetch an ad on my note 9, making the app rather useless
Almost all the features avaliable have to be paid for, but the app is fun & satisfying!
The best app for brush calligraphy! Hands down.
Even undo is behind a paywall.
Paid for Upgrade but not upgraded ... No refund also ... Please help
Work is very high speed it is good app
This is a promising game!!I love it, and it's really easy t ok use.
Black and White free Must buy in to use other colors. And templates
Good for drawing therapy.
Full version to unlock undo? Seriously? 😂
Seriously? full version to be allowed undo?
Calming and satisfying
waste of time
I loved it
It's ok
Make beautiful graphics with this realistic form of drawing/writing! It's very brilliant with all the right controls to help you make great works of art in black and white and grey. Love this app, just wish it was free. Very easy to use. Brings out your creativity in a simple elegance. Highly recommended.
