I was surprised why it had such a low revieuw on android devices, I've always used clipstudio paint on pc, and it is simply amazing. However, if you have done a one-time purchase license like me, you won't be able to use it on any other mobile devices like tablets, phones, and stuff like it, thats just greedy and not user friendly, short story it the drawing software is nice but, the software licensing is garbage

As you may know, the smartphone version grants you all features for free during the trial period. On December 5, 2023, Ver.2.3.0 updated the trial usage to a more flexible 30 hours per month. Please update and explore. Also, if you’re using only the Companion Mode, there's no need for a Smartphone Plan—you can use it regardless of the free usage.

Using with a pen tab makes the cursor flicker in and out. Unlike most apps, CSP is able to hide the arrow cursor when using a pen tablet, but it flickers, which can be distracting. I hope they add a feature that lets you be able to show the built in cursor all the time as it is less distracting than trying to hide it but it flickers.

I honestly really like clip studio! I use the free version and thirty hours a month is fine for me. the most I've used in one month is 19. if you're more of a causal artist it'll be fine. there aren't any ads and I like that you can download brushes from people usually for free. the ui looks nice and clean and simple version is very easy to use. I also LOVE the pose models being added to simple mode because that's what I use. they are very fun and helpful. I highly reccomend this app!
