Tayasui Sketches Pro Positive Reviews

Keeps getting betterI’ve used this app since it came out in the AppStore and then the devs made a Pro version, not sure why but I’m not complaining. I use Procreate a lot but I enjoy the ease of use with Sketches and the brushes have some really nice effects. Through the various iterations they’ve added layers and canvas sizes and myriad other upgrades. I particularly enjoy the watercolor brushes and the ability to add water to the color to soften and blend. I just spent a couple of hours playing with each and every brush and it’s variations as I haven’t done that for awhile. The new pastel crayon is pretty neat and mimics an actual pastel stick. This is a robust art app but you have to take some time to play with all the brushes and textures, and I like the fact you can modify every color by press and hold the color. The pen tool is one of my favorites, it is akin to an ape tel brush pen with pressure sensitivity. There isn’t another one like it and I use it frequently. I am using this app on a iPhone 13 Pro Max, a 2020 iPad Pro 12.9” and an older iPad Pro 9.7”. No issues at all with bugs or crashing on any of them and I use it fairly often. It’s a terrific all around easy to use app for creative people and I’m so thankful they keep updating it to make it even better. Highly recommend!! 🎨.Luna noireVersion: 25.16

Fantastic Drawing App! But...I love Tayasui! It is my favorite app for art and both the Pro version and the original are functional and have very few bugs. However, when it comes to posting my art I have a bit of a problem recently. So, at first posting my art was fine and everything was going smoothly. I could see my art on the “new” page and people were giving it likes. But after a while (and this has happened with the last 3 drawing I’ve made) the art I posted would say someone liked it, usually between one and three likes, but it isn’t on the new page and the like count never went up after the first day. Is this a common glitch? Because I want to keep posting and taking part in art challenges but if nobody can see my art then that won’t be possible. Can I please get some help? Other than that and one other glitch with the posting, this is a must have app for any digital artist and I would recommend it highly! 🙂.AluckybastardVersion: 25.6

Highly recommend, but having a non technical problem with the update.I LOVE Sketches and I have made a lot of art with it. I love the simplicity and neatness of this app. It make mediocre artists-like myself-able to use it without feeling intimidated. Unlike Procreate, it is easy to figure out and it will not take long before you get the hang of it. I would recommend this app to anyone-especially the pro version. The additional layers themselves are worth the price. But so are the color dropper, the pick between color options and the new tools. Now for me to complain, briefly: I was in the middle of a drawing when the app crashed-which has been happening VERY regularly-so I decided to update the app. When I returned I found out that my favorite tool had been changed. The pencil tool. (Now called “pastel tool”.) I used to love using it for line art, but now that the new versions of the “pastel tool” have come out, I hate using it. The texture of it is weird, and even through adjustments, I cannot get the texture or size to match up to the one you replaced. I am not able to finish my drawing, and I am so upset. If anyone on the Sketches team could fix this, I would be so great full. Sketches deserves 5 stars, but until this problem has been fixed I will not be able to give it what it deserves..Vertified CostumerVersion: 24.3

Favorite drawing app!My only problem with the app is that it keeps saving screenshots of the "sketches" that I work on. Usually if I have closed the app while a drawing is in use, if I open the app again, the drawing will be screenshot and saved to my camera roll. Also, if I start a new drawing or open a different drawing, it screenshots those too. No matter how many times I open and close the app or any drawing, it will always screenshot them. Even if I start a new drawing, and leave it blank, it will be screenshot. It's not even a high quality image like when you manually save from the folder view, so I don't understand why it keeps doing that. If there's a way to make that stop, someone please teach me how. Because it's really annoying and tedious when I have to go through all those screenshots and pick out the high quality saves and delete the unnecessary screenshots. Developers, please fix this problem if it's not supposed to do that. Overall awesome app with a great selection of tools and really useful on mobile. I much prefer Tayasui to Adobe Draw (which many people use and I don't understand how or why because it's so frustrating to work with on a phone)..SparkyyoVersion: 16.7

App crashing & other inefficienciesFirst, let me say that I have used and loved this app for years. For me, it is perfect for initial sketches and quick illustrations. The interface is mostly convenient. I have a few suggestions for improvement, the first of which is to just fix the bugs! If my iPad screen locks, or I switch apps for even a second, I keep coming back the the app’s loading screen, where it shows the thumbnails of sketches, and often loses everything I was previously working on. This is honestly frustrating, and my app and iOS are all up to date. Aside from this, I would love the option to view sketches in book format, with the option to swipe to the next/previous pages. Often when I’m sharing sketches, I want to show how my idea progressed, and that feels clumsy each time I need to zoom out and zoom into something else. Lastly, I would love to see more gestures (and better palm rejection! This is the only app that gives me problems!), such as one that could hide and show the interface/tools. I think these could really take the app to the next level, make it more convenient to use, and turn it into a true digital sketchbook (something I’ve been looking for!)..Cat in SpaceVersion: 23

Don’t think, just drawI purchased procreate, affinity designer, affinity photo, sketchbook, and tried (but don’t own) many more. This app is my go to when I want to just get my ideas out ASAP. There isn’t a complicated amount of adjustments to make with each tool so you can just get down and dirty and draw. Drawing with an Apple Pencil feels great and is pressure and tilt sensitive. (For example, you can tilt the pencil and it shades instead of being a fine point all the time) Out of the apps that I own/tried, I like the lines from the pencil tool because it looks the best to me. The ONLY thing that I would ask for in this app so far is to add finger gestures to rotate the canvas or something equivalent. I like the speed, ease, and usability in which I can translate from just a thought to something tangible and I feel that the ability to rotate the canvas would definitely help push out ideas in a streamlined manner. A minor thing, yes, but it would definitely help..Skano the RatVersion: 23.6

Need better resolutionThis is a great app that I’ve used for many personal projects and even school pieces. I’ve done lots of drawings, paintings, and photo retouches. However, along with the retouches comes a drop in resolution. When importing photos in, the app will lower the pixel count to fit its minimum resolution. It’s a little inconvenient whether it’s for retouches or mixed media. So, the only thing I’d really like to see change in is the option to zoom into photos way closer; until I can see the pixels of an HD photo. This would also mean that the app would have to be able to handle more pixels from the high res photos. This is not an app meant for photos but in the case of art, I’d like to be able to better incorporate this feature through mixed media. Otherwise, it’s a great app that I’ve been using for a couple years. If you enjoy drawing or even photo editing, I’d really recommend that you buy this upgrade..Minmon 82728381Version: 22.3

Excellent App!So far every drawing app I’ve gotten on my phone has been hard to use or just doesn’t have enough tools to make a good drawing, but this app is very easy to draw even considering you have to use your fingers. There are a couple problems I have with this app though- One, there isn’t a tool that’s really small. I value small pens so the lines don’t look fat if I’m making a detailed drawing. Two, the blending tool is too large. Blending is important if you want smooth pictures but since the blender is this app is so large it blends the outline too. And three, sometimes the app will randomly download your pictures to your camera role. This isn’t a very big deal but it’s kind of annoying having to keep deleting pictures. Anyways, I think this app is great and I highly recommend it to anyone who has interest in art..Wild Wolf StudiosVersion: 20.15

Update disaster .. do not buy this program!First, I’m a constant user of this app because for its price it’s interesting and does great stuff .. but if you push it hard like I do the app really struggles .. likely I don’t have memory allocated to it correctly or my iPad simply doesn’t have sufficient memory to run the app properly, and I don’t really understand how to do a lot of things that might be basic for more proficient users. I’ve had issues, but I don’t have a lot of money, and so I attempt to work through all the issues, it’s like using a faulty brush, but it gets you where you are trying to go if you don’t give up .. what I’m trying to do is produce high end publishable comic book illustrations and I’ve used this program to produce wonderful work, really AMAZING stuff by typical standards, and the new Masking tools are AWESOME. My sincere appreciation to the developers...Cisco Kid was a friend of mineVersion: 33.3

Photoshop-ishI really like this app a lot especially when you can use layers in the pro app. There is a lot of different types of brushes and sizes. It has the ruler for straight or diagonal drawing, water color, and more. The only thing that its missing to me is the the shape section to make a perfect circle or square. I'm not a good drawer but adding this would benefit a lot of people (this shape is already in their other app: memeopad). I'm using the bamboo sketch pen ony iPhone 6 on this app. The pen have a slight delay but the sketch app have different various hand position (right, right hand upward, right hand downward, and vice versa). When using the pen, drawing on the edge of the phone is tricky, you would draw a shape and it would sometime skip toward the edge. Coloring the edge can be challenging unless you zoom in. Overall, my family enjoy this app and this is a good app on the go..WhyareyoumakingmechooseanothernameVersion: 17.6

Zoom-in issueThere needs to be a much greater ability to zoom in. I like working on large canvases and at max zoon, every brush still gives a different pixel size and most do not do 1 pixel across and is still too thick in line width. The zoom in controls need to be more advanced and not so basic. We need to be able to see the zoom magnification # and enter it manually aside from just the slider. Another thing is in Adobe illustrator when you do a brush stroke, it automatically helps to refine the stroke. So if i do a curve, it smooths it into a refined curve. Just like how you have the line tool when you hold down on the brush stroke, but you can add it so for example if i were to do many strokes for hair it would make it nice curves in the angle of my choosing and instantly. Please consider implementing this asap as it is a big factor in whether i choose to use your app or not, otherwise I’ll use a different app...Someone with EYESVersion: 25.9

Almost GreatThis is a program that goes beyond good, but doesn’t make it to great. It has many excellent features, and a few major failures. The ability to blend is critical in drawing or painting. Procreate has a very good blender, but this program falls terribly short with their blending tool. A great feature is the ability of the program to smooth out lines, and being 75 I shake and my lines show it. Once again, the program fails at critical junctures by making the line straight instead of curved. It does this “make it straight “ routine a lot. Most drawing programs recognize an attempt to make a circle and follow through by making a circle, usually by pausing the stylist. No such luck here. Your mark just disappears. One feature I love is the ability to outline an area and have it automatically fill in with lines or other shading. This feature works very well. It would be nice to have a total cross hatch with one fill, but taking two steps isn’t bad. We also have the inability to go to total black and I mean REALLY black. What you actually get is a dark black but not a deep black. Also, there isn’t a blue-black, or purple-black that I can find. The ability to get a good skin tone is lacking. Here is where a pre-set color or two would be nice, perhaps a separate set of pre-set skin tones on a different color menu. AD2.AlandaledanielVersion: 30.19

Love the appThe options are plentiful, fun, and beautiful with a user-friendly interface. I didn't make use of this app much before a I got the Apple Pencil but now that I have one, sketches is my go to for doodling and writing (I'm not much of an artist but I feel like one using sketches!). I second another reviewers suggestion on implementing a sort of book option. So we have sketch books or notebooks, since I use the app for class notes and journaling. I used to use Noteshelf for my writings but I prefer tayasui sketches for everything now that I have the pencil. With a feature that lets us organize sketches into books, the app would be unstoppable!! I know it's for creating artistic masterpieces, but I just love it so much so I'd really love to use sketches for all- art, notes, writing, and journaling..HanasbananasVersion: 17.2

Thank you!!When I first got this app, it made me pay twice because at first I tried getting the update and failed and then just went and got the actual paid app, and then it was pretty good while I used it for the most part. A few glitches here and there, but usually pretty good. After this most recent update, every time I add a layer it just turns completely black, even on old drawings, all but the base and the first layer and just completely black as soon as I add them. It was fine before the update, I hope that'll be fixed in the next one...? Edit:so the next update came out and most(all but one) of my drawings survived! Yay thanks developers!.OhmygodihatethisnamesystemVersion: 16.7

I love the app but...I generally love the app, but I just tried to create a piece of art using the shapes tool...specifically the circles one, and I couldn’t functionally repeat the gestures to move the circle or change its angle. In other words, I might accidentally be able to move it, but couldn’t replicate it enough to create what I wanted to. Instead of actually moving the circle from point a to point b, by using 2 fingers (as the instructions say), it would rather, just shrink down my entire page...I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong, but I worked on it for about a half hour & read all the instructions I could find...app creators, please fix this, or put up some better instructions on how to do this effectively...otherwise, great app!.Chibi-ChiVersion: 20.15

Yes, good. But a bit further than it needed to be.This is a fantastic drawing app. It has good features, a good aesthetic and the new update brought a pixel brush and a whole bunch of other really good features but it also made a lot of unnecessary changes. For one, it’s a drawing app. It’s supposed to be simple. When doing something creative I don’t want any input except what I’m working with. so a random quote that has nothing to do with the context of an app used for drawing shouldn’t be there. Also the large 2-color screen cover tools are broken. They overwrite the layer and you can’t undo them. This wasn’t in the last update and I’m confused why they would mess up a feature that didn’t need fixing. Another feature that is missing is the normal smear tool. I used it a lot and it’s gone now for some reason. That’s dumb. Other than that I haven’t found too many other problems other than a slight discoloration/loss of quality when copy/pasting or resizing selections but it’s to be expected. I can’t think of any other good features I would want for it other than just more/better brushes or a more advanced selection tool..Meme kid ^IIIVersion: 20.15

Mostly Good, But I Have A Problem With Version 23I really like the app in general. It’s easy to use and I use it to draw all the time. I have a problem with version 23, though, and I’m writing this in the hopes that it will change or be improved. It’s the way folders are organized. Only being able to organize folders by date modified and creation date makes it much harder to organize things. I’m really hoping that they add in an option to organize drawings however you want. If you’re just using the app for individual drawings, it isn’t a big issue. But it becomes a bigger problem if you want to make and/or organize a comic, drawings for a video, drawings for a story, or anything like that..StuccosaltVersion: 23

5 but...Gave it five stars because I can’t live without the leaky pain pain PE and PEN… Some tessellating tiling properties would be nice… I can’t find a program with a leaky pen that will let me save it as a tilable rectangle like you do in fabric design....... also I would like a better option on fountain pen size voice recognition and I’m too lazy to erase… Spatter option would be nice… i’ll come back with more suggestions later especially if you give me .01% of the profits ha ha… For some reason one of my favorite painting program is this one: I guess it’s because that fountain pen works pretty good without a stylus; I guess I have yet to find a program that implements pressure sensitivity the way I like..AlanLaBuddeVersion: 20.15

Would be 1000% better if there were a way to ask a question...Current query, seeking answer: is it possible to type or insert text into a SkPro drawing? // I have been researching a number of coloring/drawing/artisrty apps for more than a year, and finally settled on Sketches as the most useful for my purposes. I've "gone pro" in order to drown myself in the learning that is available but I've come up with the stupidest problem. It may be that if I used FaceBook . . . but I don't, so it seems there is no way for me to ask a question -- like the one above which I do hope someone will trouble to enlighten me -- and or tell me what I've been missing in the instructions. . . ..JaloisieVersion: 30.15

Keeps getting betterI’ve been using this for years, and recently a lot of great changes have been added. Clipping masks and drawing stabilizers have really added a lot of great functionality. I’m on mobile (not tablet) so I don’t get the full experience unfortunately (like landscape canvases, I would LOVE a landscape canvas), but it’s still very good! Add in the ability to change canvas dimensions and a more precise brush size changer (like being able to type in specific values instead of a sliding range), and it’d be just about perfect! But even now, it’s getting better every update :).Phoenix_23Version: 33.3

BIG AGGRAVATING PROBLEM.Okay, so, let me start off by saying that Sketches is the greatest drawing app I’ve found. I absolutely love it! But the reason why I had to give it 4 stars is because seemingly whenever I draw, Sketches lags! Not the entire app, but the drawing tools! I try to draw a perfectly straight line and all of a sudden, either big black circles appear, or the line gets crooked, and heart monitor looking on its own! It’s not too much of a problem for the first five minutes or so, but it’s FRUSTRATING AS HECK after you start getting tired of it. And also, the undo/redo buttons keep absolutely not working 😭The undo button undoes way to much and I lose something I drew! Please fix this, Sketches! I just want to draw! ☹️.TheTimster2012Version: 20.17

Tap folder to close -temporarily stops workingI am absolutely in love with this app. I have been using it for all of my sketches for school and am currently learning how to use watercolor. The inky problem that I have (that makes it super difficult to use the app) is that when I am done drawing and pinch the canvas to go back to viewing my sketches in the folder, the folder itself disappears on the side of the screen and I can't "tap on folder to close" because the folder isn't visible and/or doesn't exist. I then have to force the app to close to get it back. I would be super happy if this was fixed! Keep up the good work!.LoveItGamingVersion: 16.7

Love record feature - please allow to keep tools/UI hidden while recording (and while not)!First off—this is a fantastic drawing app. The version on my older iPad gives you an option to keep tools hidden even when your stylus is not touching the screen; however, it does not have the screen recording option. The newer version has the screen recording option, but every time you lift the stylus, the tools reappear, ruining your recording! Please mirror the old “hide” functionality—it’ll work perfectly with recording. This is my only complaint; otherwise, great, intuitive drawing app!.SilverRaterVersion: 17.5

This App is AMAZINGI love this app. It’s so easy and simple to use whether you’re a 5 year old who likes to doodle or a serious artist who likes to use all the various tools to create masterpieces. Plus, obviously other people seem to love it the same if not more than me. This app is perfect to use especially being stuck at home. When stressed or anxious you can just pull out your device and get to drawing! I just also want to thank those who made this app so easy and simple to use. And thanks to a load of us out there who didn’t write a review, but still feel the same. Thank, you! ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ.CinnamonBunฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅVersion: 23.13

Last Update Didn’t HelpThis last update has been a bit bad for me. Every time I attempt to post onto the Community, it’ll give me a warning concerning the need for specific qualifications in order to post, which I have never had before. It states something similar to, “pieces with imported images or a lot of empty space will not be posted.” I understand the imported image issue, though I cannot understand how much space I need to take-up in order for my work to be qualified to be posted onto the Community. If I somehow can fill up my works enough, however, another pop-up will inform me upon an error that prohibits me from posting, or that I’ve posted this picture already. I can assure you that I’m trying to post new things that I haven’t posted before. I’d very much like for this issue to be dealt with accordingly, though I understand if there are rules and regulations that keep this from ensuing. This, however, is just slightly bothersome, yet not devastatingly fatal. If I can’t post, then I can’t post. I still enjoy the app, and recommend it to all of my artsy friends. Thanks!.Peej1607Version: 22.2

Gorgeous app!This app is well-made, easy to use, and creates gorgeous images. There are numerous options for tools, colors, and layers. Also, the ability to save with a transparent background is extremely helpful. I am a beginning graphic designer and illustrator and this app is perfect for those needs, especially on a budget when a professional drawing pad is not an option! The only thing I would add is a text option. I am currently creating my drawings on the app, opening the drawing in Word, and manually adding text there. Besides that, this is a beautifully made, realistic, intuitive drawing app!.Go Bananas!_101_Version: 20.16

[update!!] Great thanks!So much better! Everything is so much smoother, better looking...or maybe it just looks great because I missed this app so much. It is at war with my other apps [which I stopped using :(] B/c it was easier to use and just fun to play with. As one of the creative people here it is just so fun to explore an app like this! It's sooooooo easy! Thank to your team you got this app back on track. Anyone can learn to use it and all the features you fixed make it worthwhile for anyone - amateur or pro. Thanks team!! - Unreliable It freezes when I move the page around. I need to move the page so I can draw on the edges of my sketches. It's unreliable because I gave it many chances but it's still freezing! I can't use it because my sketches are very important to me. Fix it please! Ps - this is not the first time it froze. Reasons: when I move the page around to draw on the edges, when I'm using the tools, or when I turn it on!.Mermaid_trixVersion: 16.7

I have tried so many of these apps and this is the best by far.I started digital art about 4 years ago using Artrage on my ipad and progressed to a highend wacom tablet using corel painter. Lately I began using this app out in the field on an ipad pro with the apple pencil. I have to say that this app is rather comparable to my wacom and I am able to print my paintings on canvas in very large sizes. I am mainly a watercolorist and this app simulates watercolor better than any of the others I have tried and I have tried them all. I have only had it freeze and lose about 3 mins of work once..Bikesue99Version: 17.8

A few wrinkles to iron outI’ve been using this app for about 2 years now, and it has been perfect for what I use it for. But, I did find a few glitches here and there. Apart from the fact that it kicks me out of the app every once and a while, the third smudge tool doesn’t seem to work right. When I exit out of a drawing, it flips horizontally when I’m drawing in it vertically. And lastly (while it’s not a huge problem), the folders would become off-center and all over the place. As an aspiring artist, this has been a good app to help me get started. If you could fix these problems, I would really appreciate it..Monkey M8 🐵Version: 23.8

Better experience on the iPad than MacOSI LOVE this program! It’s somewhat limited - though that’s part of its zen-like charm. It’s a bit...idiosyncratic, but I can deal with that. Its strengths are it’s amazing watercolors and pen (with splatter) tools. The ruler features are pretty cool tool. Because of my very positive experience using the Pro version of Sketches on the iPad I decided to download the same for my Mac. That has been a disappointment so far. It just doesn’t work nearly as well and some of my favorite features are missing. I hope Tayasui kicks their MacOS version of Sketches up a notch soon!.MRatnaVersion: 20.16

Great App...But some bugs to fix.First off, this is a great app on the iPad to draw or paint on for any artist. However, lately the copy and paste feature, along with the selection knife has been having issues. For one, it now selects in a complete square which it never done before. Also, it no longer copies and pastes anymore. That’s a problem if you’re trying to draw or move certain parts around. Great app to draw on. Just something I have noticed lately and thought I need to bring up..Lladnek SnillocVersion: 25.3

Newby - I like itI am not an artist but I want to try my hand at drawing. I’ve been playing around with the program to learn the tools. I really like it, it’s fun! I have the Apple Pencil and it is working great. It has taken me a while to figure out what to do to make the stroke get wider when you hold the pencil flatter - turns out that only works with a couple tips on a couple tools, which is ok. It crashed once when I was trying out editing the blended colors, but otherwise has been solid. One thing I don’t like is the large number of spelling, grammatical, and typo errors on the web site, it makes it seem unprofessional..TedtoalVersion: 17.5

Great for drawing AND image editingI don’t have an artistic bone in my body. People look like stick figures. Houses look like they’re made from straws. I regularly get put down by little girls for my drawing inability. I do, however, use Photoshop and similar applications for image editing. This program does a very good job of allowing to edit images - so much that my wife gasped at how good this program allowed me to touch up some photographs. If you can draw, this is the program for you. If you need a good image editor, this is the program for you. In short, get this program..AaronD12Version: 17.5

IPhone canvas sizesHi! I wanna start this off by saying I love this app! There is no other one that compares- it’s so simple to use but the art you can make is so beautiful! I tried the other art apps and they all pale in comparison. I just have one request! I do my art an an iPhone and I have all the latest updates, but I don’t have access to customizing the canvas size. If that’s only on the iPad or Mac version, could you consider adding it so I can customise my canvas sizes? If it’s already there, I can’t find it, so some help would be appreciated. Much love, and thanks! ✨🌸.MeenahWittrynVersion: 22.3

I wish we could post sketches hereSketches is an amazing tool! There are many different ways to shape your sketch to the way that you want it. Of course, it could use more tools, such as a stamp tool and multiple colors for the gradients, but all in all I’m pretty happy with what I can do. Please update and add more tools (and also higher zoom)!! Also, I’d appreciate it if there were no pop ups asking to download the macOS version or other popups like that. I don’t mind a one-time pop up that shows new features upon update though..Matt SanVersion: 17.4

Why sketches pro is my favorite app!I’m just gonna start of by saying, this is a great app! There is so many different tools you can use to create digital masterpieces! Sketches has a wide verity of drawing activities you can do and there’s a community where you can post your drawings! Other people can click the like button on your drawings! It’s so nice to get on my iPad and look at the community to see the amazing things other artists draw! Sketches is a great app! And I in courage you to download it! Enjoy!.GofgvhgVersion: 30.2

A Great App, Some Size DifficultiesI love this app, and the colors and tools as well. The only problem I have is that there are no thin tools for me to use when I zoom in to add detail. The eraser is too large for erasing tiny things or going into corners, and using white doesn’t go well when I have a background on another layer. Also, some brushes are too broad and not suitable for fine painting, especially the watercolor. However, I have only recently started using the app, so if there are any solutions to these problems that I have not found, please send me a message. Thank you for this wonderful drawing app. o(≧v≦)o.Seliniaki IlikiaVersion: 17.8

Pretty cool! Just needs a couple things!Seems like a great app! I’ve only drawn a few things with it so far. I did notice that I can’t rearrange pages. I LOVE that I can export to PDF but without being able to rearrange the page order I think the feature is a little limited. Being able to duplicate pages from inside each sketch book would be very helpful, too. As it is, I have to export to my photos app and then import back into Sketches. Finally, I noticed that the app remembers the orientation of the iPad when you first drew something on a page. So if you are about to open a page you first drew in portrait but you are holding the iPad in landscape, it will display in portrait—in other words, it will display sideways. Maybe add a setting to allow it to reorient the page so it is always displayed right-side up? Otherwise, I think this app is going to be one I use every day!.Nerdy PeteVersion: 32.1

Amazing but....I absolutely love the app and was hooked first time trying it. I just have two problems to say. I have a stylus and when I start a new drawing it bugs out. It doesn’t connect the line I draw. And the next one is screenshots. The app automatically screenshots every time you enter a drawing and it’s really annoying. Please fix that..HarrypotterhippogriffVersion: 25.5

Good but could be greatI really like this drawing app it's simple to use and the drawing experience is great, but I think it could really use a selection option. The type where you select a part you want to draw in without affecting the other part of the drawing who aren't select, it could facilitate action like shading and blending. I really think this adding could really improve the drawing experience..Ahsoka508Version: 23.13

I love this app, however…I’ve had no problems with this app before, I’ve loved every detail and feature and knew how to use everything perfectly. However, the app auto updated with the new update (that I didn’t intend to get), and it’s changed everything for my art and is now very hard to work with. Is there any way I can get the older version back?.StarscreenFoxxVersion: 30.1

New update causes app to glitchI downloaded the new update for tayasui sketches and every time I try to draw or Color, the app would glitch to the Home Screen. I’ve tried resetting my iPad, I’m not going to delete the app because I have some drawings on there in progress. I just wish there’s an update to fix this..Creata_a_nickname38372836Version: 30.1

YOU FIXED THE ONE LAST THING I DIDNT LIKE!!I didnt like how you couldn’t rotate the screen. This app is absolutely flawless now..YDYJYDOOWVersion: 30.1

Needs batch export to PNGThe weak point of this app is when I have 250 .skt files on my laptop and I want to future proof them as .png files. Right now, I need to export them to png manually by hand, one by one. Open, export, close, repeat. This drives me insane. Please fix this. Other than that it's a nice drawing app, my favorite on the iPad..John BonhommeVersion: 25.4

Same issue...has not been resolvedJagged lines on every stroke on only one side of iPad screen. This was not fixed In the recent update. This doesn’t seem to happen on any other sketching apps. Please fix, don’t see the point on having paid for this app if it doesn’t really work the way it is supposed to..Suarez.mglVersion: 25.2

Please change deleting optionsI love everything about this app, except for the fact that you have to hold down for a ridiculously long time just to delete a canvas. It makes it hard for me to keep my sketches organized. Perhaps you could make it shorter, but at least make it easier to trash a drawing. Other than this, I love the app and would definitely recommend to any artist wanting to start making digital art.Heckin potatoVersion: 23.6

Awesome AppI love learning more each day with the app. It sure adds to my creativity!.GenerousearthVersion: 24.3

Pretty awesome!Handy app with some honestly nice and fun drawing tools & brushes. It does crash quite a bit though. A select feature would be nice, so you can share/delete multiple drawings at once..Fresh DuckVersion: 24.3

5 étoilesLa beauté dans la simplicité.DanieltouchetteVersion: 23.10

Love it!I really love this app, better on iPad than iPhone of course but still very useable and great for doing fashion sketches!.Thedewd1234Version: 23.8

WAS great (Written during march 2019)I absolutely love this app, it has some nice pens but is lacking in some features like fixed opacity. There was a recent update which added new templates, but REMOVED the duplicate and flip features. This is terrible, because they're crucial to drawing especially with the lack of opacity with the paint brush, so I hate this. Fix it by adding the duplicate and flip back..SimardypantsVersion: 21

Best drawing app for a smartphoneI've been searching for a good art app for so long as I cannot afford any of the other programs... this is not only affordable but offers a wide range of mediums to paint in! I bought a stylus for my iPhone and have been addicted to this app for I think almost two years now- no complaints! Love love love it!!!.---//:$/Version: 23.6

Record feature disappearedI have loved using Sketches Pro!! I recently discovered that I could record my drawings. I used this feature a few times. Now it’s not there. Anyone know what happened to this feature? Just got a message saying they were aware of the problem and an update will be coming out soon. I’m very pleased with this drawing app. Layers feature is great. And the controls and options for other tools are about right for me. Try this app..KentspepsiVersion: 22.4

Great app!This app is perfect for an older iPad like mine! One thing I would say is ther should be an eye dropper tool accessible from the colour section. But otherwise great app!.ChiiillVersion: 22.2

It’s perfectI’m happy that I got this app. It does everything you need to sketch ,draw, paint, write ,lettering. It takes time to get through the tools. Very easy to use and effective app. Good job.ZagrebcaVersion: 22.1

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I just want to tell you, the creator of this app, YOU DID AN AWESOME JOB! 👌🏽 I ❤️ it! The calligraphy pen is my fav! It brings the poet out of me when I am sad and playing on my iPad with the stylus...😌.AsifaliVersion: 21.8

Très accessible pour débuterFacile à utiliser. Enlève du stress au débutant!.Arvik19Version: 20.18

Great appI don’t really have much to say, but you should try it..FarinaPizzaVersion: 20.18

Pre goodIt’s really good but I really miss the option to take a photo from the camera roll and then use the tools to turn it into a drawing. That was fun Unless it’s hidden somewhere.Buckshot53664780Version: 19.1

I want to draw in Portrait too!I was snooping around and no matter what, I couldn’t find a way to change the orientation (so that I can have it while my iPad is in landscape) of my entire sketchbook and the pages I add to it, OR EVEN FOR SINGLE PAGES!!!! I love (💜💚💕✨) this app, but I really want their to be a portrait option (while my iPad is in landscape). So much so, that it’s a 3/5 instead of 5/5 😔. I have a stylus, and I want to be able to take notes in presentation mode with out having to flip my iPad to the side. Having the option of fully Portrait sketchbooks and mixed ones is best. I hope Tayasui responds, because I love this app and I don’t want to do note-taking and drawing elsewhere..LilacbookpieVersion: 20.18

My go-toI love this app. I very much recommend this one. Generally the updates improve the experience. I miss the layer lock shortcut, and when you’re in the zone the auto save can be a little irritating. Minor issues aside, this is my go-to drawing app..Henschman01Version: 20.17

Best sketching appVery responsive and overall best sketching app because of the two finger undo swipe function. A few quirks with palm recognition however, when I rest my hand on the screen while holding Apple Pencil it tells me I can’t draw with my finger. Also wish it didn’t interrupt my drawing with the auto save notification every time! Overall amazing, but some things to improve upon still..PhilipSuavéVersion: 20.16

Terrific Drawing AppCan’t imagine why anyone would complain about this wonderful and well thought out sketching app, unless they’re trolling. I can’t find anything wrong with it either on my desktop or tablet. I love it. Keep up the good work!.ShebangoVersion: 20.15

BugEver since the update, every time I try editing or finishing up a drawing or sketch it would crash whenever it tries to save- meaning, I lose all the progress I've made which is very frustrating..RainbowStriker9Version: 17.7

Tayasui Sketches Pro Negative Reviews

BuggyI have been using sketches for quite some time now. It is a fun drawing app with good tools and interesting activities. Although, there were a few problems that I had. Sometimes the app would randomly crash and I would lose any art that I had made that day. This is very frustrating because I spend a lot of time on drawings on this app, and when this happens all of my hard work is gone. Sketches would be so much better if this issue was fixed. Also, whenever I use the cut/copy tool, the app freezes up and won’t let me switch tools. I don’t know if this has just happened to me or if others have experienced this problem, but it would be helpful if it was fixed. I wouldn’t recommend this app if you lose your patience easily! Finally, I was disappointed when the community was moved to Instagram. It was a way for me to gets inspiration and share my art, but now that it is gone, I don’t see a reason to use this app anymore. Please bring the community back! Thanks for reading, I really hope some of these things are fixed..YouGottaBeSquiddin'MeVersion: 30.2

DO NOT USE THIS APP!!!I never write reviews but believe this was very necessary. I have been using Sketches Pro for about 2 years. I liked it because it was simple and for the most part easy to use. There were little things that would come up that were annoying but nothing that big to get upset about until recently. Out of no where the program completely stop working. I cannot undo anything I just drew, it won’t save, it won’t duplicate files; the list goes on. I immediately reached out to their customer service in hopes that it was just me and not the program. I received a very generic, “I’m so sorry you are having difficulties, we will look into it immediately and will be fixing any problems you may be having shortly.” I responded with a request to speak to someone because I had work to finish and a deadline to meet. No response. It has been over a month and they not only not reached out but haven’t fixed ANY of the problems. This program flat out doesn’t work. I have moved on to PROCREATE and it is a much better program all around. My advice, don’t waste your time on Sketches Pro..New name 123456789Version: 23.6

Good but disappointing.I have thousands of hours of drawing in this app - it used to be easily my favorite app. Yes, not just my favorite drawing app, but my favorite app period. It seems like every update it gets a little worse. An app I used to use for 4 or more hours a day everyday is now an app I use a couple times a week. There are several new features that are not only unnecessary, but glitchy so even if you want to use them they are unreliable. It use to be an incredibly simple and intuitive app, now it’s complex and unwieldy and not good at what it used to be good at without becoming better at other things. I have hundreds of drawings in this app, some of which took 50+ hours to draw and I used to not notice the time I’d just get lost in drawing. I can’t do that anymore. It’s an awkward, confused, app that lost its identity. I hope for improvements, but sadly am now looking for a new drawing app to take its place..DucypooVersion: 30.13

Sketches was good! ...two years ago.I bought the pro version of Sketches about four to five years ago. Sketches was my first digital drawing program other than Apple Notepad. I use it obsessively. So why, then, am I rating it 2 stars? Since I first got Sketches, it has progressively been getting worse and worse. Switching layers takes forever. Random lag. Random deletion of entire pictures. And the worst offender, the incessant crashing. It crashes at startup. It crashes when opening drawings. It crashes when you switch layers. It crashes when you create layers. It crashes when you exacto. Occasionally, it will even crash if you drag the picture too fast! And if you don't save often, these crashes can delete tons of progress! With the newest major update, the cloud save update, Sketches now uploads your drawings to a cloud- which isn't the issue- but in doing so, it deletes the local save of your drawings. Meaning you no longer can access your WIPs until you connect to the internet. Once a prized app for its versatility- whether you're on the bus or in class or laying down, you could always pick up your phone and draw- Sketches has been reduced to a buggy, crashing, inconvenient, and downright awful shadow of its former self that definitely does not deserve to cost money. Buy Procreate instead. I hear it's better..MayahMouseVersion: 23.8

I used to be a big fanNot too long ago I discovered Tayasui Sketches, downloading it based on an App Store recommendation. Once I learned the interface and became familiar with the tools, I fell quite in love with this app. I even subscribed to the pro version. All was right with the world. Then version 23 was released, with “new features” such as the ability to backup your sketches to iCloud, and now Tayasui Sketches is useless on my 5th gen. iPad. The app won’t let me create and save a new drawing, or create a new folder. It won’t let me de-select the iCloud backup option. It crashes constantly. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, it did nothing. I reached out to Tayasui via twitter, they did nothing (no response after 6 days). Clearly there’s no tech support there. Plus, there’s no mention of any issues on Twitter or their web site. I finally gave up on this app today. I’m posting this review, deleting the app for good, and moving on to the competition: Autodesk Sketchbook, in case you were curious..UrbanpaulVersion: 23

What happened to all my colors?I downloaded your last update over a week ago and worked on some paintings last night. Today I open your app and all my carefully chosen colors have disappeared! I am still upset that you became obsessed with doing all the bell and whistle and a really great water color program became a mess about 6 years ago. It wasn’t broke so why did you destroy it? Can you bring back your original watercolor program with a new app only for watercolor? I’d pay extra for it. Seems you may be an artist yourself but you’ve confused making an app for other artists to use and depend on its reliability with showing off your app skills. Meantime those of us use who use the app have to change our style to suit your fickled whims Please, give us a stable, usable app and do something else with your need to add artistic endeavor to your app skills. Are you trying to get new artists or are you just trying to compete with other app people? PLEASE. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. A lot of other art app producers do the same thing . Case in point the Art 4 vs the earlier ArtSet app. I never use the new one and old one I can only use on an older iPad. I want to paint with comfort and not have to contend with your ridiculous fixes..Inca123Version: 33.3

Please Fix ItI never write updates. However, after the most recent update I felt like this was very necessary. I’ve been using this app for years, it’s been my go-to as an artist and I live for the simplicity of this app. It’s amazing. Because of this, the new update has left me feeling very conflicted. I really hope the developer’s notice the problems that have followed up with this update. For the first time ever this app is actually slow. When I pinch to zoom out of the canvas it sort of glitches and takes way longer than necessary to leave the drawing. And when I come back to it and it auto saves, sometimes the loading page gets stuck and the app basically crashes. And then there goes all my progress. This app used to occasionally auto save upon changing layers a couple of times; now it only auto saves if I pinch out of the image and click back on it, and that’s if I’m lucky enough for the app to not crash/freeze on me again. Also, when I change layers, it now takes a good minute until my pencil can finally erase or draw. These problems are absolutely frustrating, but granted I’ve been using this app for so long I really hope it changes. I’d hate to use a different program..AHHaifaVersion: 21.2

Deleted my artI love this app! I have been using it for many years. This is why I am so upset over this new update, as my app keeps crashing and I can only get back into it if I shut off my phone every time. I lost two of my art pieces, as when I went back into the app they were just blank and deleted. I put a lot of time and effort into this app, and I do back up my work, however, my most recent work is now gone. I had hoped that deleting and re-downloading the app would work, but, according to other recent reviews, this doesn’t seem like a solution. Please revert the app back to the previous version until bugs are fixed with this current one, I really don’t want to loose anything else. Thank you. Also I think you should add clipping masks. They are useful..Anput and BastVersion: 23

UpdateI’m changing my review. I have heard about a new update with sketches and instagram. I do not like it. Sketches is consisted with older teens yes. But most of the artists do not have instagram or are not allowed and such. This is an inconvenience. I’m not quite sure I like this update and unfortunately, until it’s fixed (if it’s fixed) I will not have it downloaded. Myself and I’m sure plenty of other people are unhappy with this change. I’m sure there are people who are happier with this change as well. Unfortunately I cannot do anything but state why I will not have this game. This is a great way to lose downloaders. Owning games does take work. If you want a game to be good listen to a majority of the reviewers. I don’t want a lame excuse. Please let me know if you are working to fix this problem..Spidergirl0707Version: 30.18

Simple interface, but major bugsPROS: More accurate Pen tracking than other apps I've tried Works great with Apple pencil (although only one brush seems to support angle shading) Simple, clean interface doesn't overwhelm you with complexity Fill tool offers nice pattern effects CONS: Large pen icons on side tend to get in the way a lot Long skinny color palette makes poor use of screen real estate Text entry options limited MAJOR BUGS: I was working on a complex drawing so I saved many versions as I went along. Something got messed up and I thought “I sure am glad I saved multiple versions.” But when I looked, I found Sketches had saved the error to my OTHER versions, making my backups useless! Another bug: Using the X-Acto knife tool to rotate a selection sometimes COPIES the image, making a double-image instead, and undo doesn’t fix it! Tayasui really needs to concentrate on bug fixes rather than new features. UPDATE: I just had a glitch that caused a double image on one of my layers, and immediately pressing undo didn’t fix it. This may force me to have to delete the entire layer and re-draw it all over again..CybernettrVersion: 25.1

GarbageThis app is terrible. The developers have never listened to reviewers, it’s easy to see that from other reviews, and EVEN WORSE: Old glitches are not resolved, and new ones keep happening. This app is the worst option out there. Choose another one, several apps that I’ve tried in the last few days are better than this one. Update: after Tayasui’s most recent update, the toggle to turn off the “tap to undo/redo” option now does nothing. Specifically, toggling it to OFF does nothing: even in the off position, tap-to-undo is still engaged, and it’s easily the worst feature because it happens when my palm hits the screen. This app is terrible..JdheuwuVersion: 30.2

Latest updates have made tool almost unusable.I have been using Sketches Pro for a few years, and would didn’t have a single complaint until recently. Since the iCloud update, I have had nothing but trouble. The app crashes constantly. Often, my changes don’t save, and I lose a lot of work 9this happens not only during a crash, but also when I close the app. The undo button frequently stops working. To get any of these items to resolve, I need to uninstall and reinstall the app, and when I do that I lose all my custom color palettes. All of these changes have seriously impacted my productivity, and I’m considering abandoning Sketches and moving to a more reliable tool..MollyB7Version: 23.8

Keeps deleting my sketchersIt was a really good app, until it started deleting my sketches. I would spend hours drawing and then I could come and ALL of my drawings were gone!! I thought that itI have might have accidentally deleted them, ( but I don’t know how since the folders were still there,) until it HAPPENED AGAIN!! And now I’m very upset since this had happened 3 times. Thankfully I save all my drawings at every stage to my iPad, but still this is very frustrating..WeijiaJulesVersion: 24.1

This Should Be Amazing… why isn’t it…?I tried the free version and was very impressed, especially with the watercolour brush potential. So, I quickly purchased the Pro Version… This app freezes up almost constantly, and usually after I get 2 watercolour brush strokes down on the “paper”. My iPad is 4 year old, so not ancient, but not brand new. If the app would only let me use it, it would be an easy 5/5, but as it stands… 2 strokes makes for a very underwhelming experience..Father SimmonVersion: 33.3

Errors upon errorsEvery bloody release fixes old errors and introduces new, and more, serious ones. The most recent version, when you dry your pant, a god awful shadow appears behind your work. If Procreate ever improves their watercolor engine, I’m leaving Sketches mighty fast..Avrum 68Version: 32.2

Transform function is pretty much uselessWhen you want to transform a layer is makes it solid, so you can’t see how your transforming current layer relative layer below. Also, finger action are often not detected, clumsy or create duplicate images. I regret the two hours I spent trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. It’s just how it is..Murd122Version: 30.15

My iPad got hacked because of this AppMy iPad got remotely control because of this App. I want to have my money on this App back and I strongly suggest Apple Store to remove this App! I have never ever wanted to use iCloud but this App automatically started iCloud on my iPad and I was almost not able to use Safari surfing, then I checked and found it's this App compromised my iPad..NevereverbealiarVersion: 30.11

What happened???I used to really like this app. Then recently there was an update or something, because using it has become a pain. The biggest issue is rotating the app from a vertical display to a horizontal. It used to let me rotate the app (so the tool bar would move and I could get a different view of my work) without rotating it. Now it rotates it and really messes me up. I can’t figure out how to change this. It is so annoying. I am about to give up on it forever..EliseHaskellVersion: 30.9

DéfectueuxCette nouvelle version est défectueuse, je suis très déçue! Ça plante toujours et je perds tout le travail que j’ai fait. Ça ne s’enregistre pas automatiquement comme avant. J’ai dû recommencer mon dessin plusieurs fois parce que le programme plante tout seul sans qu’il ait enregistrer tout le travail..Vero HarveyVersion: 30.3

Low quality export on iPhoneI just paid for the app and am very disappointed. There’s no way to adjust canvas size. I import a photo, draw on it, and when I export, the photo quality is dramatically reduced and there’s white border because of the inability to choose the workspace size. It might be different on iPad but still, I can’t use this app as is..BennycolezVersion: 25.9
