I used this app for years. I've done all of my artwork on this app and have them saved in a folder on my phone. Recently I had to delete the app for a bit, not even for a week. When I reinstalled it and opened the app, after attempting to choose the artwork folder, it immediately crashes. I've tried multiple times, uninstalling, reinstalling, clearing space, clearing the cache. Not a thing worked. I'm getting ready for an art show and I need this to finish an art piece. Please fix this!! 🙏

It was great, the brushes were good, it worked fine, and though some of its tools can be a bit glitchy. The issue I really had was when the backup images were in my camera roll, it was very disruptive and there were just big gray blocks in my photos where the backups were. You can't delete them either, so you have to have these unusable images in your camera roll. If you like things in place like me, it's a bit of an issue.

the only drawing app where drawing feels responsive, and it has some great brushes. HOWEVER, it's very lacking in essential features, such as clipping layers, resizing the canvas/image, gradients, etc. would be nice if the devs were to add these things, the lack of these features is the only thing stopping me from using this app as my main drawing app. also, transforming a layer makes it blurry which is annoying. (note that I'm pretty sure the PC version doesn't have these features either)
