Pros and cons of ibis Paint app for iPhone and iPad

ibis Paint app good for

Ive searched for a lot of apps for using in clipart production and edition, and up to now found this is the best! Easy to use, provides most of the usually needed commands. Beautiful interface, bonus of site to publishe produced images. What I would add to make it perfect: – Saving in PNG and / or GIF – Ability to control image color depth (from 16 colors to high color) – A softer control on "magic wand" function, allowing it to select more or less pixels, based on color similarity. – The ability to write on the drawings, using a few popular fonts like Arial, Times New Roman, Helvetica, Zurich. – Possibility of switching off the exhibition of best cliparts on the fist page of app (this can be band consuming, and in Brazil bandwidth is still too expensive). I recommend the app to everyone intent on editing - creating high quality images and cliparts!!! Really, I think it is worth every cent I spent in it!
This is an amazing app!! I love it! But sometimes when Im trying to draw it tells me that I have a shortage of storage space (but I 200MB) and I try to make more space but it still continues to say that .
This app is amazing, but maybe do a thing where if you are drawing on the side (Im on an ipod) it doesnt delete when you turn it to normal and press back That happens so much and its so annoying Other than that its aMAZING
I like this app. It is convenient for me. You should download it!
I LOVE this app! Its perfect because I can draw art, therell be a video already made, and I can just post it on YouTube. Its super convenient and I really like it. Though, when I click "save movie to camera roll" it no longer shows up in my camera roll. I have deleted many photos and apps, thinking that I dont have enough storage, but idk if this is a bug or not. I would atleast like you to tell me if I cant save it, so I dont spend 5 minutes waiting for the movie to be "encoded". It would also be awesome if you added a blending tool! Currently Im doing my shading with spraypaint... it would just be easier if there was a blending tool :/ Thanks! This app is awesome!
Mainly towards the save as video It doesnt work And I have a lot of storage left

Some bad moments

Its not letting me import pictures anymore. Without pictures its kinda hard to do reference if I gotta keep switching two apps at a time..
I dont like the interfaces as much as some of my other painting and drawing apps, but the playback feature is amazing. Its a lot like the playback function in Colors for the iPhone. You can browse the online gallery, download paintings, and then watch the creation of the piece in fast motion to learn how different artists achieve different effects.
Great potential! Artists have created beautiful pieces with this application. Few gripes: I wish the lines were smoother-they look rather jagged and also I wish there was an option for higher quality exports(like a desktop app to allow for much larger sizes). Nevertheless-as I have mentioned-great potential just needs a bit more.
Great painting applications, not only own paintings, but also download other peoples paintings, like!
I was hoping to get support for the iPen soon. Im happy to see this technology getting embraced.
The ipen support is just ok, it gets quite messy when I try to draw at the lowest parts of my screen. Keep it up.
