MediBang Paint – Drawing & Art

Been using solely this app for a little over 5 years at this point, it was my go-to drawing app because it’s layout is perfect and is functional in the way that i learned to draw, few other art apps match up to Medibang base-program wise nor have the layer to clip layer system figured out as well as this app does. I’m happy to pay a fee for the usage of this app, but putting an ad banner into the drawing space was a step too far. If the banner was even just half it’s size, it Might be excusable, but it takes up a tenth of my ipad’s screen, and it’s constant moving and flashing is utterly distracting while i’m trying to draw. Additionally, with the most recent update, i’d been put off by the ad banner but was trying to give it another shot using the upright orientation rather than my go-to landscape orientation that i’d always used for maximum screen-to-canvas accessibility. But, the pieces keep freezing, constantly. Seconds after i’ve saved, closed, and reopened the piece to be able to maneuver the canvas around, it freezes again. I dont want to pay for all the bells and whistles that come with a premium subscription, and to be honest i’d be happy to pay 1.99 or 2.99 a month for simply an ad-free version of the free version of the app, no additional brushes or tools required. It’s been frustrating just trying to use this app recently though, and i don’t think i’ll be using again it unless some changes are made, or more options made available. At this point, i’ve made more progress just drawing on paper. :(
