### "Great and easy digital drawing tool" — 5.0/5

> **Brittney** | *22 September 2024* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It’s really easy to use and has so many brush styles and drawing tools.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish you could save vector files and pick a canvas size from the start of your new document.
> 
> It’s a great design tool and isn’t too overwhelming with options. You can do a lot, I just wish you could save vector files.

### "A sketch program for beginners" — 4.0/5

> **Elexus** | *06 July 2025* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the quick boot up right to a drawing space and the pencils that have an incredibly nice drawing texture.
> 
> **Cons**: It doesn’t have a lot of versatility outside of sketching and painting somewhat. I wished it had a 3D component to it with the ability to import models.
> 
> Very good, mostly for casual art. You can utilize it to paint, but I’ve never chose it as my primary drawing program.
