About this app

Convert your device into a digital sketchbook with more than 80 paint brushes, smudge, fill and an eraser tool. This fast and intuitive painting and drawing application will unlock the full power of your imagination. With support for pressure sensitive pens (like Samsung's S Pen) your device will be transformed into a real canvas.

Important: this is a free application with advanced features requiring a pro license in-app purchase. Single licence purchase will activate all devices associated with your Google account.

• High performance (GPU accelerated) paint engine
• Canvases up to 6144x6144 with 50 layers*
• Stylus pressure support
• Pressure simulation for touches
• 100+ brushes and tools (including smudge tool and gradient fill)

I love artflow and have being using it for years. It's so much more user friendly that PSP, yet it still has so many useful features, like layering. However this last week, for some unknown reason, I've lost the ability to erase a layer. What's going on? Also, I can't find any dirty of option to update the app, or report an issue.

It's a good app, im able to do everything i have to within the free version, although more layers would be nice, but i get it. my only real problem is that this will be the second time I've had to reinstall the app. it works fine for a while, but after some time, the brush just stops working. other brushes will work, but not with the chosen color, and it's barely visible (you have to squint). I've checked the opacity on everything, but it's fine. please help or just don't get if this bothers you

Fine if you're making smaller things, hot garbage if you're trying to work on something with more pixels. Constantly exits and deletes portions of your art , lags a ton, crashes, and generally makes it unbearable to make anything that's not around their base pixel settings. They have a lot of little bugs that need fixing and of course to make compatibility with drawing things more detailed since. It's a drawing app and that's it's job.
