Report an issueAsketch is a unique and versatile sketch pad. It allows creativity on the go, anytime, anywhere.
Its deliberate simplicity makes it perfect for beginners who want to learn to draw; equally, advanced artists will find a wonderful buttery, tonal canvas for their life studies, cartoons, abstracts, landscapes and other subjects. The app is engineered to deliver rapid, but powerful image capture, facilitated by a great transform function that allows you to pick up the drawing, resize it and move it around the canvas, and a amazing zoom that lets you draw in minute detail. So if you want to put a traditional, but digital sketch pad in your pocket, this is the app for you.
Features and functionality:
Gesture based drawing interface: Changing the surface area of your finger on the screen controls the focus of the drawing. Supports pressure sensitive drawing on iPhones that support pressure sensitivity.
Image zooming that actually works: Do amazing detail work when zoomed in. No pixelation of brushes while drawing.
Image transformation: Scale/Rotate the image via a simple pinch gesture.
50 Levels of undo/redo. Swipe the undo/redo button to toggle back and forth. Hold down the button for rapid unwind/rewind.

8 of 25The Apple Pencil functionality is excellent. However, the app fails to close with the standard swipe. If I only used one app it would be okay, but the beauty of iOS is consistency of basic functions. It’s frustrating when basic controls are hidden and unresponsive.
Like procreate is fun. But this is just right all the time without a bunch of options to clutter up your idea. I’ve sat on the train here in Japan sketching people. It’s fantastic
I couldn’t alter my previous review but I want to state that I love this app. You can open it quickly to get your idea down and I like the quality of the brushstroke. The only reason that I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it’s taken so long to get a reply to my question. A stupid question, yes, but some of us just can’t slow down to figure technology out😆
I LOVE THIS APP! I recommend it! It is so easy to use! And I lov3 how it shows how to use it instead of just opening the app and being like “How do I use this??” Its a really good app! It helped my art skills SO SO MUCH!! If you want to download it, Do it! This is my opinion about this app and I think it’s AWESOME!
AppAdvice advertised that app was on sale for free so downloaded for a look... However have just seen that a charge of $1.99 has been made. It won't break the bank but not happy with what I hope was a simple mistake.
Difficult to swipe upward to access tools.
Simplicity doesn’t always mean less sometimes it just means the ability to organize. Is a slider really less complicated than 3-5 size option buttons. How is swiping a little undo button supposed to be easy? Y so many gestures click tapping to get to one tool
I loved drawing on this application. The ink is amazing however I wish it had more features.
