Zen Brush 2 Positive Reviews

Amazing app...needs iCloud syncZen Brush 2 is an amazing app. It literally gets out of your way to allow your creativity to flow. Been using it for years. After trying countless of drawing and sketching apps, I always go back to Zen Brush. The only reason I keep looking for a replacement is because Zen Brush 2 lacks iCloud sync. If you need to replace your phone, all your Zen Brush creations are gone. I think adding a way to sync would not disrupt the amazing zen flow of the app; iCloud sync would just provide a useful feature to those of us who need it. If Zen Brush can have a sync feature, hands down, it will be the best drawing app in the AppStore..KlawhiVersion: 1.25

So simple, yet robust and beautiful...It was a little intimidating at first. This app is not your average sketch app... there is just one brush tool (with 2 colors, three levels of transparency, and 4 texture/wetness levels), no layers, and not a lot of editing tools besides a deep but limited undo button. This art app is specifically focused on the Japanese Ink brush style, and challenges the user to reinvent how they express themselves artistically. Novices to digital painting or sketching may find this app too specific, but anyone and everyone will enjoy stepping up to the challenge of painting in this minimalist style. Full disclosure: I am categorically a “noob” at digital art making in any style!!! But I have a deep passion for exploring and learning how to use art making apps on the iPad 6th gen with iOS12. This is the ideal app for anyone interested in high tech digital painting in this ancient traditional technique. Be sure to use the Apple Pencil (or other supported “active” stylus) to make the most of the pressure and angle sensitivity for the fullest range of the virtual brush’s expressivity..@MrZeppoVersion: 1.25

Extraordinary!After years of using Zen Brush I think Zen Brush 2 is extraordinary. An amazing art program that does one thing extremely well: mimic the real-world flex and bristle spread of a sumi brush. The responsive and expressive nature of Zen brush is even more amazing with the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil. The added benefits of the 5 “UNDO's” and DRY brush of version 2 makes it an outstanding addition. I love the ability to Save and Load previous drawings, add to them, and save as new artwork. The ability to Export (Save) as PNGs with Transparent backgrounds makes it ideal for use in Procreate, Concepts, or Affinity Photo (for iPad) and use the brushwork as layer to use with layered color artwork is AWESOME. In fact, the ONLY thing missing from this version of ZenBrush 2 is the ability to import art from Photos and use it as a springboard to create other artwork. (A single transparent layer would be perfect too.) but at least the ability to import from PHOTOS would be greatly appreciated. GREAT WORK Zen Brush team!!.ROC-889Version: 1.13

Amazing program, I really enjoy it, but...I didn’t use the original Zen Brush, so I can’t speak to that version, but this is a really strong painting program. I really love the “feeling” of the brush distortion as the the pressure changes with the Apple Pencil. I have been looking for a program like this for a while, even with ProCreate available. THings I would like to see included in the next update would be having the addition of a pre-wet paper option, to allow the ink to drift a little or interact with the other strokes on the paper. Also, I appreciate the original colors being red and black, but what I would love is a small pallet of colors, like a medium box of crayons, maybe 16/24 colors each with the 3 options of opacity. Later on in a further iteration, adding mixing for custom colors, but now just adding a wet paper option and and a couple dozen colors would be fantastic. Great overall app..DJ.BadhairVersion: 1.21

I will give five stars if you tell me how for the brush not to continueMy one problem is that when I do a curve stroke and lift the stylus off the iPad the stroke continues for a little bit in an awkward-straight line, manner… How do I solve this?… You know, your programmers could analyze the curve of your stroke, and continued along a curve for a little bit as it fades out rather than the straight line H MMMM…. If I try to do things slow, it’s not the same feel….. go figure.AlanLaBuddeVersion: 1.33

One Of My FavoritesI've been using this app since the first Zen Brush hit the App Store. Zen Brush 2 added some cool features but maintained its dedication to Chinese calligraphy. And now you can use it in the messages app. If you're into Chinese calligraphy, this is great. But if you're just an artist then this is still fantastic. It places limitations on you and forces you to get creative. You don't have a pallet of colors. You essentially have black, sometimes brown, white, and a third color which varies depending on what background are using. If you like graffiti art, this might be a great app for you. If you like cartooning, that's me, then this will be a great app for you. If you just like drawing using lines of different thicknesses, This app is for you. It's consistently updated with the latest stylus updates. Many different stylus' are supported. Hit the buy button. It's great!.GitarzzVersion: 1.21

My favoriteThis is my favorite drawing app. Its simplicity is its strength. Easy to use with the ability to save incrementally. I use the Apple Pencil. When I finish a drawing I email it to myself and save in a file before posting on Pinterest. My only problem is that I have hit the delete button by mistake and there goes the drawing! No recovery. If I could have one thing different it would be the placement of the delete somewhere else so no accidental deletes!.JancranorlanVersion: 1.25

The Missing LinkI have always loved the feel and tool realism of this iOS app on my iPad Pro. But there is one very important option missing that prevents me from using it and giving it 5 stars: The ability to import a background photo for ‘tracing’ purposes and color selection. If this upgrade happens, it will be #1 for me!.AgalliaVersion: 1.29

Serene & calmingBy far one of my favorite apps when i want to just shut the mind off and draw. i find it focusing, calming and serene. the three ink styles and only two colors have an amazingly wide range of possibility and yet present a limiting challenge which i find quite enjoyable. i've spent hours in the evenings drawing with this app and have often generated some very good ideas. the rest is just FUN..HypernoseVersion: 1.18

Fabulous UpgradeZen Brush was always a wonderful app, true to its name simple and yet subtly powerful. This is a fine upgrade, perhaps to many fiddle options, but the price is excellent and the support for various stylus choices is lovely. Also as in the original: The extra bits are discoverable. It does not really need directions..John JoyceVersion: 1.21

A fantastic and simple paint applicationThe only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was that it doesn’t save your artwork in iCloud. I have several devices with this application and it would be nice to have all of my works consolidated for access throughout all of them..YanGaVersion: 1.21

Please Take Care of This AppI hope they don’t abandon this app now that ZB3 is out. ZB3 is complicating itself with added features like layers, turning it more into any other drawing app than the simple meditative concept that ZB 1 and 2 offered. Devs, please keep ZB2 up to date. TY.BouCoupDinkyDauVersion: 1.30

It would be amazing with layers addedThis is a great app for those who want to emulate a realistic ink brush used in East Asian calligraphy and art. I feature I would love to see is way to add layers and import pictures so that we can customize our artwork into specific designs and boundaries. This is an amazing app to have!.JDo999Version: 1.21

The best IOS/IPadOS drawing app there isI would not be without this superb sketching and drawing app. Beautifully recreates the experience of pen and pencil work like no other. Just one gripe. Please, for the love of god , DITCH THE OPENING POPUP. Note: I already bought Zen Brush 3. Enough with the reminders..DoodulerVersion: 1.31

Fantastic and relaxingThis game is the perfect thing to curl up to on a stressful day to relax. The price is a bit of a hook, but considering there are no in app purchases. Nothing ticks me off more than art supplies in a game that are “off limits”. Oh well. Get this game, you won’t regret it..GLODCATVersion: 1.23

Brilliant! I’m finally glad I bought the  pencil :-)One of those rare apps that’s exactly the way I would do it. I would love to have the option for disappearing ink that fades away after a several seconds..RPNtysVersion: 1.25

Cool doodle app but would be better ifWould be better if you could change colors. I think it would be much more useful with at least primary colors. Until that is upgraded it’s more of a toy..Net the jetVersion: 1.24

Plz fix this bug!!!!Unable to export artworks. The app shows”ALAssetsLibraryErrorDomain Data Unavalable”.HomingsumVersion: 1.18

My new favoriteI bought a Sumi-e art to learn but I'm completely digital. Couldn't find any good brush for Procreate until I found this app. It's a challenge to draw here and at the same time it's blast. Thanks..Eastern on SofaVersion: 1.13

This is coolI wish I could write better so I could tell you how cool this is, but I can’t, so I’ll just say it’s cool and fun and everything seems to work on iPad gen 5..PQwanVersion: 1.27

Less is more!This app its not loaded with unnecessary tools, minimal amount of tools and presets but enough to create beautiful art. With an iPad and bamboo stylus this is one of the most rewarding app I used..DesignernunoxVersion: 1.24

Zen brush 2Makes an amateur look good. I've surprised myself a few times. After a while the brush strokes take on a life (style) of their own..Angel33609Version: 1.25

Great appI like it way better then the next version It’s less advanced but more Zen.Matatabi17Version: 1.30

Zen Brush 3 is even better!!!I love this app! If you do, too, you might check out Zen Brush 3, which gives you a lot more colors, etc.ObservantiVersion: 1.29

I love itI use only my finger and I love how responsive it is and how easy it is to clear the page when I’m experimenting..CheerfulmonkVersion: 1.22

Almost perfectNeed more color feature. Need layering feature. Everything else is perfect. Love it..IvsoVersion: 1.21

Great and fun!I love this app! Super fun to use but it bothers me that you can’t undo your whole drawing it’s a common thing wen it comes to art apps. It will be hard to use to make characters with small details other then that it’s really fun!✍🏼.I lovemycatVersion: 1.25

First use and Sid I need to buy the upgrade.Si i use the app for the first time ever and when I go to sage my. Project it says I need to purchase Zen 3. What? Why wasn’t I offered that at the beginning ?.Max's AppleVersion: 1.31

Using itHas no tutorials or directions on how to use, for example; how do you get a new page after you finish a drawing? A tutorial would be really nice!.Goldcat5Version: 1.27

Wow!This is so brilliantly done. I never would have imagined the creative possibilities this offers. I might like to pick arbitrary ink colors. That might be cool..UrkelpantsVersion: 1.18

Needs work and featuresWould be nice of there were example projects to observe. Would suggest lessons in kanji or brush painting. I don’t like the brush inertia once let go. I have to make endos in reverse. Otherwose looks good..DJ Tommy JVersion: 1.25

No icloud support!Wish i could transfer brushings to another iPad/iPhone, that should b in the next update.Yeungh ZpheritVersion: 1.30

Perfect drawing tool !Simple, easy to use, great brush control. This app and iPad together are a great creative tool..B.v.valVersion: 1.25

Wish it had more colorsWish it had more colors and possibly different brushes.AnguzBeefVersion: 1.27

Great app but use too much batteryRun the app for 15 min drained my battery by 20%. (Brand new iPad Pro). Pls fix. Would love to your app more often..Zyz.zyzVersion: 1.21

Great app! Needs 2 thingsLove this apps simplicity. The brushes are amazing! If only there was a way to import photos to use as a guide. Also, to export as an EPS, SVG, even PDF would be great!.KennedylefaveVersion: 1.27

Awesome!!Fun and easy to use!! I hope there will be more colour.. like green or blue...MnmmnmtVersion: 1.20

Lots of FunOn the surface this app looks very simple or basic, but this is not true. There lots of possibilities to have creative fun with. Enjoy :-).NunavikVersion: 1.07

Great updateI love the elegance and stark simplicity of this App...my only regret is no support for Pencil 53. Hope it can be included in future releases..Old_macVersion: 1.04

Beautiful SimplicitySuch a beautiful and simplistic app that allows for the creation of elegant ink paintings. The paper types are akin to photo filters- adding depth to an image. There's only one brush, but three viscosities of ink which allow for quite a bit of variation. Having layers would help take these ink sketches to a new level, although the omission of it gives more authenticity to real sumi ink painting. It would also be nice to have colours other than red and black, although it's easy enough to import the image into other art apps. This program works very well with the watercolour mode in Adobe sketch. I highly recommend trying this app. I have yet to try this app with a pressure sensitive stylus, though I imagine the experience would be much better..Squat.ApeVersion: 1.02

Nice App!Finally, a simple, straightforward app that is a pleasure to use! Well done, folks!.Oddball890Version: 1.02

Zen Brush 2 Negative Reviews

Best writing app for ipad ProWhat happened? Something very bad is what... Why did it change? Why? Now the ink bleeds all over no matter what and there is no more dark, rich ink. Seriously, what happened? XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX This app is BEAUTIFUL. It is fluid, smooth and easy to use. It has two major flaws. I. It is very limited on colors. I don't know why. You set two colors for each page. Second, it has a delete page button that does not ask if you are sure. This is somewhat mitigated by the fact that it has an undo that lets you bring the page bacK, most of the time, which brings me to a third problem, perhaps not a MAJOR flaw, but still serious. The undo button is seemingly random 'in how many steps it will let you go back. Sometimes, it will not let you restore more than even a couple of steps. This app has tremendous potential and works exceptionally well with Apple Pencil. Just give us a few more colors and better undo options. It is definitely the best "inking"app there is in the store right now. For writing text, it is without compare..Tom SteeleVersion: 1.25

There should be more Chinese elements.Zen Brush is a really really amazing writing and painting app, it is easy to use, pictures looks cool and so on. But I remember “Zen” culture is supposed to be created by Buddhist philosophy of ancient China, and in fact, there are only Japanese elements inside the app. Some paper types are called “Japanese Paper”, but which is just rice paper. I am not sure about culture issues but I believe there should be more Chinese elements in Zen Brush apps..MaxzzhyVersion: 1.22

Terrible interfaceCan’t find ways to do the simplest things like leaving one item and starting a new item... just stuck keeps asking to upgrade ....after just one item of work... not cool at all.AurasmoVersion: 1.30

Why limit color to black and red?I would like to draw flowers like wisteria, animals like birds, and landscape but the color limit of two makes it impossible. Suggestions: Increase undo, redo levels. Ability to specify size of paper..Badzny5Version: 1.19

Please let us choose COLORS!The zen of painting is a nice and the different papers are beautiful. But there is nothing ZEN about painting the wrong shade of red on a color clashing paper. Please let us choose any color we want!.TechForLifeVersion: 1.19

Zen brush original is better imoI find the zen Brush 2 not nearly as fluid and relaxing as the original. The strokes end much too pointy and harsh. Not worth $2.99. I really want my money back.Gwenn666Version: 1.27

Essentially a toyOnly two colors, really? And you can't adjust the canvas size--so it is more of a toy, not a professional app, which is a shame since the brush is so nice..JankadoodleVersion: 1.22

Extremely buggyExtremely buggy especially on the new 2018 iPad pro.Sarsar95Version: 1.24

Lose “ basket” !!!Follows my finger,can’t get rid of it and I can’t draw or paint because the “basket thing” is always in my way!!!!!! Real artists don’t need a “basket thing “ 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡.Pinto1129Version: 1.27
