I am in love with the pen pressure and the brushes in this app!! But when I check the layers, specifically looking for the background, it’s usually buried at the bottom, with me being unable to find the background layer unless i remove/delete my other layers to find it. It’s very tedious to me, as sometimes I’d want to export my drawing to be transparent!! I’m in love with everything else, but I believe that a fix in the layer system and perhaps a reference window could definitely help.

Enjoying the app so far, and I love the brushes. Some of the only issues I’ve been having is with the selection tool, and extreme difficulty with transforming/reshaping/resizing the selected area.
First of all, I’d love to see a feature where you can add to the select area. As of now, you can only select one area at a time and if you try to select another part, the first selection gets deleted. Its extremely inconvenient if you want to select very precise areas, to make a new selection every time you want to change the parts you select.
I don’t want to completely redraw the selection every time I want to add like 5 pixels.
Most users need to select their entire lineart, which requires a super precise selection and a lot of attention to detail; it’s unrealistic to perfectly outline your lineart with the selection tool all in one go without every moving around, zooming in/out, and fixing mistakes. This is the only part which I find significant subpar to other drawing apps.
Additionally, after you do select something, the transforming process is quite laggy. It often glitches and is hard to control. Ex. I wanted to lengthen a selected area, instead, the selected part shrank in the other direction, and often doesn’t respond to touch/swipes. This happens with both finger and stylus. I think there should be more than one transform mode too, like a mesh transform mode so you have more flexibility and control.

1.There is no reference view. I need to see my reference images, and without a reference view or the ability to pick colors from it, it’s quite inconvenient; I end up having to look at my phone, which is very troublesome.【they alreday update it!!】
2.The color picker can only select the displayed color, not the original color. If I add effects to a layer, it becomes difficult to pick colors accurately.
3.I hope more functions can be added to the top toolbar, such as free transform, to make it more convenient to use.
4.I would like to have customizable shortcut keys so I can connect a Bluetooth keyboard and use it like SAI2. 【they alreday update it!!】
5.It would be great to have perspective rulers, straight lines, and tools like SAI2’s selection pen and selection eraser. When selecting areas with the magic wand or selection tools, it would be better if the selection could be highlighted in a different color, as the current light gray is too hard to see.
6.If possible, please add a grid transform function. 【alreday update it!!】
7.Would you consider adding animation frames?”
