Actually at the beginning it was very good. It worked well for me and since I was just starting digital art, it was definitely good enough. However, after some time, my app keeps crashing. I tried using it on my phone, then my tablet but it crashed almost every 5 minutes. It lags pretty badly as well. I erased some parts of my work but the app takes awhile to show it, and sometimes crashes when I erase something. The fill option is really bad as well.

I like this app, the tools are simple enough for beginner digital artists to use. But it has a few problems; 1) It crashes when you try to make a new sketch by scanning your traditional sketches. 2) Using the selection tool is a bit difficult. 3) I wish you could organise the brushes into your favourites set and create new brush 'folders'.

So the app is pretty great and all, but I've recently found out that it got overwhelmed by a bunch of text, and I mean it got so ridiculously slow; not to mention how to keeps forcing me out of typing and eventually crashed, where at that point the text was removed. You'd think I'd have to type out the size of an essay for it to get this laggy, but apparently SketchBook can't handle more than a few sentences. Otherwise a decent app, but please fix the overload issue.
