JUMP PAINT by MediBang

If you are experienced in digital drawing/painting, the app is somewhat easy to use. Coming from Autodesk sketchbook on an iPhone, it has very neat tools that programs as sophisticated as photoshop has. But the problems still remain, like other reviews said; 1. Everything I need a shortcut for is so small, and it’s hard to navigate intuitively or even if you’ve worked with it for a while. The ergonomics prohibits me from using the tools quickly 2. At the RECOMMENDED CANVAS SIZE it lags more than it should. Not enough for it to be intolerable, but enough to interfere with the flow of work 3. I 100% hit save right before closing the canvas, and it saved a sketch I drew within the first ten minutes instead of all the changes I made. As any type of artist, beginner or professional, that is a HUGE problem and needs to be fixed asap. If stuff doesn’t save or disappears then there’s no point to the app. 4. I know it’s supposed to be used to create manga, but it doesn’t really support any other styles. Despite me drawing how I regularly draw, my character turned into an anime anyway haha not a big deal as a test run (I downloaded the app for the panel creation opportunities more than for the drawing/painting opportunities) but it would be nice to not have to make an effort to draw in your own style. That being said, the potential of this app and what you can do with it is sky high. It has basically everything one would need to create any type of art, not just a comic. 6.7/10, would maybe reccomend.

I definitely love this app. These tools are BEYOND amazing and can really spark creativity inside someone. I really loved this app and how it looked. I was triumphant getting in to the system and starting my first manga, but then... You literally need to be a mangaka to use this app. I wish this was much more accessible in it’s tools. I always leave the lines when making specific panels, the whole design is hard and overall tedious to use. Sometimes I might find myself doing something on the paper that I don’t want, and that’s because it’s small and annoying. If you could really change this to make it so that you don’t need to be an artist (because Apple advertised it as for anyone). ありがと〜

I’m am currently creating a manga series, and this app is very helpful to me as I am now able to keep my thumbnail sketches with me at all times, and in one organized place. It takes a little bit of time to learn how to use all the functions of the app, but once you get it down pat it’s relatively easy to use. It hasn’t crashed on me at all, and all my save data has been safe the entire time I’ve been using it. The tutorials are easy to understand, and the practice pages are great. I’m very grateful for a free app like this, it’s great for planning, doodling, and practicing creating manga!
