Professional Artist Review: Life Changing / 5 Stars
TLDR: BEST IPAD ART SOFTWARE DETAILS: I am a professional illustrator, storyboard artist, animator and recently a tattoo artist also. I always used Photoshop with Wacom tablets or a Cintiq, but when M1 iPad Pro came out I finally had hope I could stop dealing with Wacom and desktop computer and only use the ipad. This product: Clip Studio paint, has allowed me to totally work on iPad, for ANY kind of illustration work (it also is great for animation). This software, on ipad, is so good it literally hanged me life. This is a fully functional desktop style software, but the coolest thing besides the huge amount of features and seamless workflow, is the CUSTOMIZABILITY of the interface - it’s insane: you can completely design the layout to easily include the tools you use, and hide everything else. AND it has excellent HOTKEY support: you can choose all your own hot keys, and save separate workspaces (I have a ‘comic’ workspace, a ‘storyboard’ workspace etc.). You can go ever deeper with the customization and design how the pop up windows work - like if you use the selection tool to grab a piece of an image, you can choose which options pop up beneath the selection (free transform, warp, etc). This is the best software ever created, 100% could not recommend any higher, maximum gratitude to this company.

Best Comic making app on the market.
Clip Studio is the definitive comic creation software for anyone interested in making high quality comics. I say this as someone who used photoshop for over a decade. I’m using the iPad Pro 12.9 3rd gen, so I have to subscribe to the $99 annual plan, but I also had a windows license. The interface can be a little daunting for the first time, especially on the iPad where most drawing apps go for a simpler interface, but if you have a bluetooth keyboard or want to use your phone, you can set up hotkeys for just about anything. Clip Studio does have a simple UI mode, but unfortunately I have to reimport my custom brushes and some of the layer effects aren’t available. What makes this app worth the subscription is the ability to create, preview, and export virtually any form of comic or illustration in a straightforward manner. Making a vertical webcomic? Clip Studio makes all of the slices for your comic and has a phone size overlay so you can see how much of your page will be seen by mobile viewers. My biggest complaint is when I’m without internet connection and I launch the app only for it to take 20-30 seconds trying to connect to the server. You can still use it offline, but clip studio will want you to connect at some point which is a tad weird.

The Best
I’ve struggled a lot with finding a program that would be comfortable for me to transition from pc to IPad. However, CSP really saved me from a lot of troublesome and lackluster apps available in the AppStore. The program is amazing and really similar to the pc version, and although I never used the pc version and was mostly a Paint Tool Sai user, Clip Studio cemented itself as my favorite art program for its many invaluable features that I can’t find anywhere else. I’ve fallen in love with the plethora of brushes, the assets library, and the overall UI that is easily adjustable. For a mobile app, it’s amazing and runs so smoothly, and I can stay on my IPad for hours on end just drawing. It’s become an important part of my workflow now and I look forward to future updates on the app. With much love, keep up the great work 👍

No different than makers of PS
I had this for a while, loved the 3d model aspect, but the company is just as trash as photoshop now. First of all, i never had this on PC because i dont have a PC to use it on, so I was only on ipad, and when i found out PC has a one time pay licensing I stopped sub and boycotted this app. I even went as far so use two apps that totaled out to a one time payment of around $25 to do just about all the same things as this one does for 99$ a year. I hate the idea of subscription and honestly its not even that i “feel” cheated, those of us who use ipad ARE cheated. Not planning to support this company unless they go back to what they were like before. Even more of a joke is that they will avidly ignore any response that mentions their change from one time payments to subscription. This is only worth the money for people who are big-name artists that can afford it, dont play games if youre just a hobbyist, theres plenty of other apps that can give you what you need without you being pressured into spending a lot of money. If i could get a one time licensing for the 3d model aspect by itself, id take it, but this company is just as greedy as PSD, they’d have gotten more people using them readily if theyd have just kept all the different license tiers and avoided the subscription wall. They already have a huge traction and a lot of popular artists have reviewed their product. Might as well be Photoshop 2.0

Lost a lot of progress because the app refreshes and auto closes at the worst times
I love drawing here, and I use my iPad, but I’ve lost so much work because I attempt to save my file, only to get an error message. I go to clear some space to allow me to save my file, only to find that when I tab back to the Clip Studio app, it has closed itself and all my work is gone. So my attempt to make space to save my data winds up being yet another waste of time. Thankfully I save often, but it feels like three steps forward and one step back. It’s obnoxious and infuriating and I keep losing valuable work time because it gets deleted into the void. Oh, and the auto save is not accessible later on either. I go to try and find the auto save in hopes of recovering my work, but there isn’t even a location to find the auto save files, so if the program doesn’t feel like opening your auto save when it refreshes itself and closes without your consent, you can’t get your auto save back either. If you get an error message on the iPad that your file could not be saved, you might as well kiss your work goodbye.

I can not use this program if I run out of data!
Let me first say I have used and upgraded with every version of this program from the start back when it was still called Manga Studio. I have bought the full version of each rendition and have recommended this program to literally everyone in my college, and anyone else who asked. However this recent trend of everything going to a subscription is disconcerting and I hate that the one the key features I used to brag on the most has been taken away simply do to corporate greed. But that is not why I’m rating this program so low. The reason for this low ranking is the fact that when I have paid for a program I should be able to use it even when offline! How can I get any work done on the train if I must connect to the internet to use the SAVE feature! I have deadlines and if I miss them because I can not access all the features of a program I have paid for I have no choice but to find a replacement that will support a artist working offline! I realize that some will say just don’t run out of data and that is any easy thing to say but unforeseen circumstances are just that UNFORESEEN!

Amazed and disappointed....
While I am so surprised and excited about clipstudio paint finally being on iOS, I am pretty disappointed in the fact that you all chose to go with a subscription model. I can almost guarantee (and I'm sure tons others would back me up on this) that people would pay a good amount of money to use this app if it were only for a one time fee, I know I would. Already you can see from the reviews left, that people are not liking the subscription model. Please do not follow the Adobe and Autodesk subscription route! P. S. I'm loving the interface! It's just like the desktop version, better even! Keep up the great work and please listen to the thousands of users that use your great software.

Can’t recover deleted works on iPad
So I accidentally deleted my first ever webcomic ep that took me MONTHS to just finish the sketch of. I was finally starting with coloring and Lineart when I accidentally deleted it. I’ve tried everything but It’s completely gone from both my iCloud and the app. I’m literally heart broken. I’ve heard there was this thing in the maintenance setting that we can access backup files that should be automatically saved. However when I checked, there was no such option. In place of where CELSYS folder option should be is this stupid option called reset dialog or something. My only hope of ever seeing my months of hard work again is gone. Is there anyway I can access recently deleted or the CELYSYS folder on my iPad?? Please I’m begging. And yes i wrote a this and asked for help on the official help community page. But I’m putting it here just in case developers MIGHT respond.

Mostly good, updates break things
This app is very full-featured and is my preferred art app. However, the support for users who don't read Japanese is very thin, poorly translated, and often non-existent. The updates often break things—for example, I use CSP because it has a suite of 3d model viewing tools built in, so I can quickly build a reference scene and use it for perspective, pose, etc. However, after the 3.0 update, it now crashes on 3d models that were fine before the update, including ones that I saved within the app. This has killed a huge part of its utility to me, and contacting support is basically impossible. I have no idea why the models won't load, if there's a solution or work-around, or what the expected timeline is on a fix. A great product, but don't rely on it if you don't read Japanese.

CONSTANT Crashing and sending my data to their server
CONSTANT CRASHING!!! On a newer ipad pro!! While doing almost nothing! Ever since this newest version there’s been TONS of random crashing. Times where I’m not even doing anything except scrolling the screen…turning down the memory % just makes the app unusable…the update just makes the app too heavy for ipads… Also forced updates all the time without warning! If you move off a app for a second, or your screen turns off for a sec, the app will just close and update. It doesn’t care if you saved or not. Ever since the update I’m CONSTANTLY getting a pop message saying “ transferring data”. What data I don’t even know.. and it’s suspicious that there’s no setting to turn that off. Either way , It prevents you from drawing and stays up for way longer than it should. I’ve been using csp for a good long time on my pc and for a least 2 years on the iPad, but ever since they upgraded to version 2.0 this has been the worst…

Awesome, just one small detail :)
I really love this app. It’s great and I wouldn’t wish to use a different one. But, with the newest update, they made the home screen white. And I kinda miss the dark color that it was before, so it doesn’t give eye strain. I’m glad that the work area is still a dark color though. So thumbs up for that! I don’t mind the Home Screen being bright if my workspace is still dark, that way I don’t hurt my eyes. I do wish it was an option though. Like, you could put it in dark or light more. Just an idea :) Overall, the app is fantastic. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It doesn’t crash, and the brushes feel amazing. Totally recommend this for professional AND beginner artists

4 months ago, delete it forever
I like it
It’s not bad unlike Procreate because even when I bought it I had to to buy it again even though I paid for it and they up the price? this app cost money for like upgrade but at least I can play it. Edit: so yeah I like this app but it’s really finicky and kind of annoying. Like sometimes my tool bar disappears and I just can’t get it back! So then I have to delete the app and get it again.. which gets pretty annoying. I’m broke so I can’t save anything. Which is pretty sad but I recommend cuz it’s free to get unlike procreate which you have to buy. But I kind of get it cuz it’s like completely free. So I get it. I recommend this app if your broke and want to do art on your iPad. Good day

Dumb paywalls
it’s a magnificent app. Good functions and brushes etc etc,I enjoy making art on this. It’s very worthy of 5 stars if it weren’t for one thing: paywalls / memberships. What i mean is that you must get an entire membership just for simple functions. For instance: why do I need an entire membership just to save my drawings? Or record + save my timelapse?? Or export my drawing??? It’s just very stupid in my opinion. Ik many people have probably complained about this before but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be talked about. There are countless times my tablet has died in the middle of a drawing,and all that progress is lost forever because I can’t save my drawing / need to pay to save my drawing. I really do hope this changes in the future,though I doubt it will.

Best drawing software
As far as drawing goes this is by far the best and most powerful software. I found that every app on iPad was pretty basic for my needs but Clip Studio Paint’s iPad app is a perfect port of the desktop version, and has all the features you’ll ever need. There is a simpler alternative UI too if you prefer that. Great app for manga/comics since there’s a ton of tools specifically for it. It’s a bit weaker when it comes to animation, if you want to do animation I’d recommend using toon boom or opentoonz instead. I hope it improves on the animation front so I can just have one app to do it all.

Good software, dumb sub
Good: It’s a very good drawing software, and it makes it very convenient to draw on the go. Now that I don’t have the disconnect between a screen and my dinky little drawing tablet and can just draw directly on the ipad, my lineart comes out much more naturally. Bad: It can be a bit buggy at times; I’ve had it abruptly restart out of the blue while using it, meaning I lose anything I was working on if I haven’t saved recently. Luckily this doesn’t happen TOO much. I also think the subscription thing is a joke. I own CSP on my PC and still use it there (certain editing things are just easier to me on that version, plus it was a buy once and it’s yours type of normal deal). Being forced to sub just to own it on my ipad is aggravating. Just let me buy it and own it, good grief.

One time payment on PC but not mobile?
I feel like this is some hypocritical/unfair situation. What makes computers different from mobile that mobile has to pay every month and PC only needs to pay once? Oh, and TO PAY JUST TO SAVE A FILE? I used this app once or twice in the past and I was actually able to figure out adding keyframes in animation (which I still wasn’t able to draw on, by the way) but now it’s just crap. I don’t know what the good reviews are about but I hope they figured it out easier than me because this is just stupid. I click the pencil icon, doesn’t let me draw. Every single time I open something, as soon as I close out it says “Unable to save” and it makes me have to pay. I don’t care if there’s a “3 month free trial.” If you need to make money from this game, choose something else to get it from!

Great App with caveats
I have been using CSP on windows with a perpetual license for a while. It has saved me from subscribing to Photoshop and it is great. CSP for the ipad, however, is not as great. It requires a subscription, which we know going in, but what is inexcusable is that sometimes, without an internet connection, it will not allow you to save as it cannot 'verify your license'. Another issue is the lack of reliability with the recovery options. A quick switch to safari for reference can potentially turn into hours of work lost if the canvas recovery option chooses not to work and the app resets (which is an iPadOS issue). None of these issues were on the desktop application. There are also other ipad drawing apps that don't have these issues, which I honestly think is important to make sure your stuff is saved. In essence you get a 'worse version' of the application that is more expensive in the long run. 1 star removed for the saving issue without an internet connection, and 1 star removed for the unreliable canvas recovery. I will update this review if/when they are fixed.

$50 just to not be able to use it.
I just bought this for work a couple of days ago on my computer. My computer is pretty old so it can’t really run software like this all that well, and I can’t afford a new one. Since my iPad is newer, I thought to use it on that, but come to find out I’m not able to with the one time purchase. I cannot afford a recurring subscription, so I’ll just have to stick to using procreate, a one time purchase of $10 instead. This is a missed opportunity for the clip studio developers, I know users would love to be able to use their not cheap purchase on the iPad. Myself, as well as many others, I know would buy something like this with a one time purchase before a subscription any day (hence one of the reasons why procreate is so popular and highly rated).

Great program!
I have been using this program since about 2016 on a Wacom tablet, but was thrilled when they released an iPad version. I don’t even know all the tools and tricks, but I have been so pleased with the program ever since I started using it. I haven’t had many crashing issues, but it has happened - usually when my iPad has low memory or I have too many apps running. Sometimes it’s just pure bad luck, but they do a great job maintaining the app thus far.

Everything great until….
Everything is great but I noticed how the iPad of csp doesn’t have the one time payment like pc and I would like to use it on both of them without the subscription needed especially since it’s like other softwares it seem which makes it less fun trying to use it for one hour or so a day without it, I hope in future updates the iPad will get the one time payment like the pc does, then it would be great for me to use when I’m able to finally get the one time payment, please csp! If you see this, please make the one time payment available on iPad!!!

Inferior to the PC version and to its competitors
There really isn’t any good non “money-grubbing” reason for why my license (that I have from my pc ver.) won’t work on the iPad ver. The UI is still cluttered, they really should take notes from Affinity Designer with their mobile version. It doesn’t mean a “simple mode” where you take AWAY features, just make it less cluttered. And Procreate is about to turn the indie animation scene upside down with their Dreams app (one flat purchase btw), rendering the animation feature here quaint. You can make great comics here, but there really isn’t a good reason to justify the monthly price when the desktop version can be bought single purchase.

Line Weight Problem
I use CSP a lot for personal and professional reasons, I really enjoy using it. One day, while trying to draw, my lines were very small and I didn’t know why. I have a Adonit Neo, which doesn’t have pen pressure but it’s very useful, and I figured that would’ve been the problem. However, I used the pen on different drawing apps and the line weight was perfect. I even went back to CSP to draw with my finger and the lines were normal, I don’t know what went wrong. I would love to get back to work after finding out the cause of this problem and have my lines back to the way they were.

Great, love the brushes.
I used to use Procreate and while it is a great app I was looking for different brushes that worked better for my style. This did the job while also having a lot of different options that helped a lot. I will say that you can’t really see what you drew in the small image on the layer, but you can just turn it off to see which layer it is, or just rename them. It is a bit complicated to get used to but afterwards it’s a great app to use

Good software with a subscription
Clip Studio Paint (CSP) a vary powerful pice of software. It seems capable of pretty much anything I need. Unfortunately though I can’t justify paying a subscription for something I use for a hobby. If I was getting paid for the art I made. I could see myself paying for a subscription. I’d totally pay another $200 for a one time v2 EX licensees on my iPad. It could even be done simmer to how Affinity team removed their v1 apps from being purchased after they released new apps labeled V2 so that when V3 rolls around I can pay you gain.

I do miss one time payments tho
I love this program. It’s way better and more intuitive than photoshop. The only thing I don’t like is the subscription. It’s a lot of money that I have to keep putting into even though I gladly already put in money towards the gold membership and assets. I don’t really do that anymore because I now have to worry about the software subscription. I know I can go back to the old version, but that would take away half the features even though I had the highest tier at one time.

Good promises
The clip studio provides just as much as a pc or other devices would use but this one has its own personality. Brushes, color schemes, pressure recognitions, but it all comes down to devices, such as mine as iPad 10 generation, I only hope that it doesn’t become obsolete, unfortunately has for my previous such as the window 8.1 which was obsolete and no longer available for further uses and development for modern devices. So keep in mind the compatibility as well as it handles your comfort. Thank you Clip Studio for presenting variety!

Thank You Clip Studio!
I've been using Clip Studio Paint since 2013 when I was using an old Wacom Bamboo tablet. That was when SmithMicro still had it as Manga Studio. Now I have an iPad Pro and am still using CSP EX. I wish the iPad version had a perpetual license like the desktop version but because I'm loyal to Clip Studio I'll stick around hoping for that day. I've tried other apps like Procreate, Krita, GIMP 2, Paint Tool Sai and a few others but have found CSP to be the best of all of them. Thank you Celsys for CSP!

Professional quality + cloud syncing
As a former Procreate user, CSP blew what I thought an iPad was capable of out of the water. The brush engine is amazing, and being able to download brushes from a community that is so passionate about them is something immensely valuable. The features I love on desktop programs are right here on my iPad! I can use the same brushes, work on the same artworks, and transfer my files seamlessly through the cloud. 10/10!

I want to like clip studio, but they make it impossible
The ‘studio’ interface is terrible for a tablet, so I was excited at the addition of ‘simple mode’. The interface is great, major improvement for working on the ipad. However, this mode is lacking in major functionality for no reason. Your brushes are not automatically available when you switch, you have to manually add them back. You can not select multiple layers at the same time. It’s baffling how you could leave out a simple function like that. I will stick with procreate I guess, it is at least fully featured with a good UI.

You can’t save art
I saw this app and was so excited, I’ve been looking for free drawing apps everywhere! However when I opened the app it asked if I wanted to pay for a subscription or use the free version. I checked around the app to see if there was anything else I’d have to pay for that I needed, i didn’t see anything so I opened the drawing feature and I got a pop up that said ‘oh, by the way, we won’t save your art unless you pay.’ It is such a trick I don’t know how you got away with that, it’s insane. Be considerate of young artists and at least save their art if anything. It’s the only thing I would say you MUST change about this app.

I use to love this app. Since it updated to 2.0, I’ve had so many things I’ve hated about it. It’s so hard to save things to the cloud, and find it again. Every update with the interface I’ve hate. This latest update makes it so your tool bar is always out. You have to manually close it. I don’t know why they were workin on the interface anyway. It’s not like they added new tools. At this point I want to stop automatic updates because of everything they do I’ve hated, but I can’t even figure that out.

It deleted everything
Ok, first, when I wanted to get a license so I could save my drawings, it was extremely tedious and when I FINALLY got the account, it didn’t even let me use it. Then when I gave up on trying to use the license that I had spent so much time on to get, I tried to make another drawing. I spent hours on my drawing and I made sure to not close out of app. I had a five minute break and when I tried to finish my drawing, it closed out of the app and deleted EVERYTHING. Not just a few strokes or layers,EVERYTHING. I’m very disappointed that such a successful art app can’t even save one drawing

Paint fill tool not working right
So I’ve been using clip studio since 2020 on my iPad and I never had any problems with the fill tool but the clip studio paint app updated and now it’s not working right. When finish a drawing, I go to use the tool and instead of filling one section or specific area, it fills the WHOLE PAGE!! I don’t know if there’s a glitch or if it’s broken or what but it’s very inconvenient because some of drawings have a lot of detail and coloring it in manually is inconvenient and time consuming.

The Perfect Art Program For Me
I absolutely adore CSP! It’s fairly simple, but has the ability to create complex tools, making it great for beginner and advanced artists. It’s only fault in my opinion is that this version is not wallet friendly if you can’t do a subscription based service. If you can, I highly recommend it!

Predatory
I don’t mind paying for software. I bought Procreate. But everything cannot be a subscription. Stop being so greedy. There isn’t even a limited free version that’s usable, or a way to pay one-time to unlock certain features. And I hear that once you subscribe, it’s paid DLC all the way down. This app has the vibe of a predatory casino bleeding artists dry. If they made an option for a one-time purchase, I would seriously consider it. It’s not that I want something for nothing. Being this predatory towards your customers just breeds ill will.

Subscription
App creators charging a subscription now? I used to have this app a long time ago and it was a one time payment which I was fine with, now I guess they’re trying to charge you monthly. Not surmised, everyone wants money. I just think it’s messed up to ask so much from artists. Most of us are already struggling to make that money on our own, now to be able to even draw in the first place they want our wallet and our soul. Not cool csp. I recommend switching apps if you like being able to save your money

Clip studio puts the other drawing and painting apps to shame. I loved pro create and clip studio has a learning curve, not bad though when compared to the benefits. The capabilities on iPad and Mac are amazing to say the least. I have used many including photoshop and paint shop pro. By far it is the most natural experience out there.

Having Clip studio paint forever
You know Clip Studio Paint is a good software, used for anime, but the problem is buying it, free trial, license. The thing is that it caused money, and I hate that, I know some other animation app doesn’t go through that situation, if Clip Studio Paint can just that situation, then I would maybe use maybe Clip Studio Paint. Clip studio paint company, if you’re reading this, please change that situation.

Quit limiting us to subscription models.
I already hate CSP’s subscription model as is. The only reason I stayed with this program on Ipad is because of the inclusion of 3D models. But now that the subscription price is increasing YET AGAIN, I will be leaving Clip Studio Paint behind for good. I’ve found better alternatives that are cheaper, and will be using those from here on out. If you want to keep your customers, consider dropping the overpriced subscription model and allow us to just purchase the program like you can on PC. Otherwise, I’m done.

Deletes my art WITH in app purchases.
The app frequently crashes in the middle of your drawing which means you don’t have time to save it to your device and it does NOT save your work no matter if u have subscriptions or not. It has done this to me countless times and I give it a chance because the tools are great. However the saving process is absolute garbage and you shouldn’t have to pay to save your art in the first place. The subscriptions aren’t worth your money, they will delete what you have either way.

It’s ok
Professional artist here, used this app for windows for many years. This ipad version is mediocre in every way. Lots of gimmick filters and tools. Simple mode is ridiculous, I don’t even now what they’re trying to with it. App could be great if they actually optimized it for iPad. Honestly Art Studio Pro or Procreate has a much better brush engine and seems much snappier than this app, probably a better choice on iPad.

Great features, many glitches
Clip Studio Paint has a lot to offer. Unfortunately it also offers a lot of problems. The user interface can change without warning. Good luck changing it back. Documentation for English speakers is minimal or nonexistent. If you switch to Simple Mode, you will not be able to switch back without deleting and reloading the app. There is apparently some way to toggle the various menus so they pop up when needed. It is impossible to figure out how to do this. Many, many other problems. In the short run, Clip Studio will appear to provide a simple way to address your illustrating needs. In the longer run, it will prove more trouble than it’s worth. It is simply not designed to work.

No longer compatible with the desktop one time purchase version
I have the one time purchase version 2.0 on the desktop. I use that and I use this subscription version on iPad. I use both to record Timelapse videos. However, with the 2.1 update. The Timelapse does not work with both versions, between 2.0.6. and 2.1. I cannot start a drawing on one, and finish it on the other. This means I can no longer use the Ipad for drawing on the go. What a waste. I will be cancelling my subscription.

Tired of subscriptions for casual drawing
I don’t want to make millions drawing. I like to draw for fun. I need a version that lets me draw for fun for $8-$10 one time fee. Add features and make a better version, I might buy that new version in the future. You need a tier for casual users. Otherwise procreate is PLENTY awesome. Also Inspire. There are LOTS of apps that don’t tether you to a payment plan. This has some nice pencils and pens and some good brushes. But nice enough to pay $100 a year for? Nah. Also, I HATE that you can’t even really explore the options in pricing fully without making an account. How about letting me pick my plan BEFORE making an account. A lot of “sketchy” stuff going on in thus apps business design. Too bad, some nice features.
