Love the idea behind the app, truly do. However, it is lacking in the variety department. There are no layers. There is no transparency or duplicating options. There are not a lot of brushes or canvas size options. The app does not have a selection, warping tool or bucket tool. Photo inserting while drawing is not available either. Don’t get me wrong, I do not hate the app. I just wish it had more options or features. Speaking of features it does have, I would like to mention that although it can be helpful for an erase tool to automatically delete a whole stroke, it would be nice if users had the option to do selective erasing. I’d also like to bring up how some of the brushes are locked. Could you potentially lean into the possibility of AD viewing for specifically locked options. Basically a person is given the option to view an AD rather than a week trial. After viewing the AD, the user can use a tool or feature for let’s say 20-30mins. Once the time passes they can either watch another AD to continue using it or pay to buy it. Either way, you are earning some kind of revenue, which I know most companies want. All in all, if you look at other drawing apps, such as Procreate or IbisPaint, you’ll have a better understanding of what else to add to your current app. I’m being sincere when I say that if you add more features, your app will grow exponentially.

I’m starting to use now. Interesting tool. A couple observations and suggestions: 1- no subscription option. If compared to procreate, how about a one time purchase option? 2-export options would be great. I’d love an option to export png sequence w/ alpha channel. Also to be able to export to folders, not only to photo app. 3- layers. I see others have mentioned and you’ve said that’s in future plans 4-option to setup project dimensions etc. 5- I like scribble, color noise and jitter brushes best because of their more random analog ‘feel’. Is it possible to introduce a parameter for that sort of ‘random’ edge or shape to other brushes? 6-can you post a website link so we can know more about the developer? Who they are, where they’re based, other tools they may have worked on and any tips/instruction/info on amberdraw app. W/out this I was hesitant to try app. Usually avoid apps without more info - could be virus/spam. I can see using this app integrated into other projects. I tend to work across apps and then composite the footage from different apps together in after effects. That’s why the export options (point #2) are relevant and important to me. Cheers and keep up the good work on this app.

This is a super fun app for artists and I highly recommend! The main issue I have is that colors are kind of awkward due to having to open up a new menu for it rather than having a color wheel on the side like most drawing softwares. Additionally, color picking from the screen is even more awkward as it opens a magnifying glass that is difficult to aim and then opens up the menu again when it picks the color. I much prefer the color picking on procreate, where you can just hold down part of the screen and pick the color. One other thing that is kind of a personal preference is that I think a one time purchase plan like procreate would be better than the monthly plan the app is currently on. Overall though, I am very impressed by this app and amazed that no one has made something like this sooner??
