Constant crashing and lost work. I would spend hours on a base sketch and finally get lines and shading in for it to crash. At first it would just blip out and I would open the app back up and try to begin working again only for it to crash. This process repeats itself a few times until I open the app and the project I have clicked save every five minutes at most just ....poof....gone. does not exist. I bought this app and loved it for YEARS. But I have now cried for hours over lost effort.

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.

Its snappy, has good customization of shortcuts and works well. Does all the basics and does it great. Only thing is that its wiped my gallery/ corrupted all my pieces a few times from clicking on the backup/restore gallery, so be sure to always export your art and be careful with that button. It also doesnt have a ton of features.
