Get this app; you won’t regret it.

If you’re a digital artist, aspiring or not, Medibang is 100% the app you wanna get. Simple and aesthetic interface, user-friendly, a ridiculous amount of features to use at your disposal to draw with, etc. But my favorite feature has to be the fact you can transfer from your computer to your phone or tablet, and vice versa. And the best thing is? Medibang is a free software, aside from receiving advertisements after you exit a file, they’re not annoying and plastered everywhere like most apps in general. Just a pop-up similar to ones you would see on FireAlpaca once you boot it up, for example. But if you have the money, and you like the app, support the creators by paying to remove the ads! I feel they deserve it for this amazing app. A downside is the fact that if you’re attempting to create an animation or GIF, Medibang is intended for still illustration, so unless you’re a huge fan of painstaking processes and don’t have access to FireAlpaca... dunno what to tell you. All in all, I recommend Medibang for anything related to digital art, it’s highly unlikely I’ll be switching to another program anytime soon. If you currently or previously used IbisPaint, switch over ASAP.

Probably the best free drawing program

I’ve been using it for probably four years now? And it’s definitely the best program I’ve found for several reasons! 1. Free! You don’t have to pay for any of the essentials you need in order to draw! There are some payed features but there completely optional, and despite it being free there is a LOT of stuff in order to help you draw! 2. Lots of free/payed brushes, I only use a couple of the free ones but I know different brushes are very important to some people and there’s a very large variety of free and payed ones! 3. You can save your drawings across any device, this is probably the most important one for me, you can start a drawing on say your computer but then you can save it to the cloud and continue it on another device like you tablet or phone, and that way you’ll never loose your drawings, you do have to make an account in order to do that but that’s free too and I didn’t really mind. 4. They update regularly and listen to reviews/suggestions from people! They also have a website for you to post your art and stuff on which is automatically hooked up to your Medibang account! I don’t use it often but I think it’s a great feature! The only complaint I have is that it’s not great for beginners and if your new to digital art you should probably watch a few tutorials on how to work the program but beyond that it’s awesome! Definitely give it a try

It’s good but could use a bit more modifications..

Personally I think this is a fairly good up. It contains most of the tools and option some of those paid painting apps. But some of those missing components that it needs is the mirror tool. It is where u Create a point in the canvas and whatever you do on the other side of the point also applies to the other so it is mirrored. This is I think is a great way to create a perfect figure without some distortions. Another is the duplication of some area you chose with the magic wand. For example if I was making an eye and too lazy to create the other side I should have the option to duplicate it into another layer(the selected area) and flip it to create a finished pair of eyes. However when you try to flip the canvas, all the canvas comes along with it, and flips. I would like that option to be a separated on each canvas. Lastly is the blending option, although this can be substituted with other brushes that were implemented, it’s just the conveniences of it would I suggested this. These are some of my suggestions that could make this even more of an awesome app, it is just a suggestion that I would like to be thought over for, it is entirely up to you developers to decide whether this is beneficial. :D thank you for listening.

Guess it’s over.

I’ve used Medibang for years, it was originally ad free, eventually ads are added, but not so intrusive software is unusable, so it’s fine, make the money, I get it. Now they added banner ads to iPad, this means you lose canvas space as the banner isn’t removable, not to mention it wasn’t optimized at all, so now we have the inclusion of many bugs that never happened before, layers can’t be scrolled through, I had a bug where after a short time any finger contact would act as me selecting transparency as my color, now the same bug happens but instead of the transparency your fingers just don’t work at all, the software was completely and utterly busted for the sake of something already inconvenient. A year ago I would recommend this software hands down. Heck, two WEEKS ago I would have done so. But it’s all over now. Software has in one update become practically unusable. I would have even payed as long as it was a one time thing just to get my software usable, for the years of usage I can’t deny they deserve my money, but they rubbed salt in the wound by removing their one time payment option, changing to exclusively a subscription model. It’s ridiculous. Going to look for new programs. I suggest you don’t get too attached if you came for free quality software.

Testing my patience

Ok, I’ve loved this app ever since it came out, I’ve been using it for 6+ years. I was ok with the addition of ads, even when they would crash the app repeatedly. I was ok with some of the less used items taken off for subscription users only. But this late august update, that came without warning, locking users away from their saved art in the cloud space due to changing it to 2gbs is something I can’t ignore. I understand the company needs to make money, you can tell through the years through their addition of ads, but this is just scummy. Your holding people’s art sabotage in efforts for them to pay to get it back is very unfair. I was lucky enough to have downloaded all my works before the update due to a random instinct, but others weren’t so lucky . Although the cloud portion is the only part of the app I disagree with, I’m leaving a two star review for how they just up spit in the face of old time users who used cloud. At this point I wonder if I can even trust this company anything else. What shouldve happened is that the art that’s been saved in the cloud before the update should have the option to download. Or do what MEGA (cloud storage) did and make the update only cater to new users

complaints

the app is good for the most part and is very easy and fun to use for my art, but there are a few things that ruin it. first, it takes FOREVER to save. this wouldn’t be as much of a problem if it were exclusive to that, not only does it take forever to simply back up, but it also does automatic back ups, which would be fine except that it takes forever to do those. it’s annoying. especially when i didn’t want to back up yet. the worst problem is that when i exit the app for even a few seconds it restarts the app. this used to be ok, as when i clicked continue it was right back to what i was doing, regardless of whether i backed up. now, if i didn’t back up before i left the app for even a few seconds, usually to look at a reference, and i go back, it deletes so much of my progress. why is the continue button even there if things like this happen? i try to back up often but i forget a lot and could always count on my progress still being intact as long as i clicked the continue button, but now that is not the case. this is ridiculous, i hate losing so much progress because of a simple miscalculation. if this happens again i will probably be switching to another program.

Epic app, but started having issues recently

I’ve been using MediBang for 4 whole years and it’s been amazing! I love the features and I’ve had tons of fun using it BUT! One issue- Recently [as in within the past two weeks] it’s started freezing up and then crashing constantly, and worse, the crashing has erased all my work on a current project multiple times :[ obviously this is a big problem for me because starting over from scratch multiple times is very demotivating, so I’m writing this review in hopes that it’ll get fixed soon! I’ll definitely come back to edit the review once the issue is fixed because this is by far my favorite art program and it has a ton of amazing and easy to use features I love!! Thank you so much for all your hard work and everything you do!

I don’t understand

I got this app thinking it was really good for drawing comics. When I tried to draw a comic I didn’t understand how anything worked so I went to the tutorial thing. The only thing remotely close to the comics was how to make speech bubbles for them. I didn’t understand where anything was all it said was “select a section then add a border” I don’t know how to do any of that at searched everywhere on MediBang for a tutorial on how to do that that has more of a description. I also tried to draw to see how well that works and, keep in mind I tried many devices to see if it was just my phone, and whenever I try to draw it cuts it off. I’ll be trying to draw a head for example and halfway through the chin area, it’ll just stop the line and make a new one, creating a space in between two lines. I kept my stylus on the touchscreen and never lifting it so I know it isn’t that. I also used different kinds of things like my finger and other brands of stylus. They all do the same thing. Honestly this would have been a good app but all it has caused me is frustration. Hopefully finding help, -Chloe

It just keeps getting worse.

I’ve been using medibang for over 3+ yrs now and it has never let me down up until now. I use Medibang on both my Laptop and Phone but recently it’s not worth it anymore. The app consistently crashes and bugs out making me lose incredible amounts of progress on artworks and ever since the new updates this year of 2022 it’s gotten worse. Multiple crashes whether during the saving process, accidental home button presses, adding images for reference. It now has horrible lag after being on it for to long, as well as when adding images to the canvas. Half the time I can’t even save to the cloud because it takes so long or I’ll end up losing half my work if not all of it DURING the saving progress. Its obvious that a properly working Medibang is ONLY available to premium users, especially after the now limited cloud storage stunt they pulled. I understand switching to another program but I love how they went back on their “Medibang will always be free” thing. They’ve really lost their roots.

Disappointed and dissatisfied

I’m very disappointed with the choice of having the user pay $8.00 just to use the “layer swap” feature. Sure, it includes ad removal, but ads don’t bother me, so this is absolutely useless. I hadn’t updated my app in quite a while, but I was dissatisfied to see that I couldn’t move my layers around freely anymore! It was free before, so why isn’t it free now? I understand that as the app creators, you need to make money, but I don’t feel like this is how you should do it. I’m not sure how long this fee has been in place (since, as previously stated, I only have updated the app as of today), but I really don’t like it. It’s much harder to draw without it, and it takes more time to do even a simple doodle now. The only reason I’m giving this three stars, is because I LOVED the app before I updated it. Now, the main screen looks weird and the loading circle thing looks too clunky!! It looked clean before, but now it doesn’t have the same charm as it used to. Please fix these issues. :(

An astounding app but.......

I started using this app about a few weeks ago and I seem to get a hang of it. The tools were a bit confusing but I played around for a bit so that’s ok. I do have a little problem though. See, sometimes when I draw something, I want to rotate the object if it looks a little misplaced and make it look better. I pressed some rotation tools, but all it did was rotate just the canvas which wasn’t helping me quite a bit since the whole drawing moves and not the specific one I want. I tried to select it and rotate but still it rotated the whole drawing. I don’t know if there is an option on it but if there is, I would love to know where to find it. But if there isn’t one, I would suggest making a tool that rotates areas that you’ve chosen. Also this is one of the reasons why I gave it 4 stars since it’s all good but the rotation bugs me a bit. Thank you for reading this review and I hope this app improves in the future updates.

Issues with Crashing

Medibang is a great starter if you would like to begin digital art. However, there are a lot of issues once you want to begin to explore your options. - Crashing: Medibang does not automatically save your works and you would need to manually do it. It comes with the cost of losing hours worth of progress due to the program not being able to handle the layers. It’s frustrating and the download process takes a while. It is not guaranteed that any of the works will be saved. - Brushes: Although there is no need for a variety of brushes such as “car stamps”, it’s still very frustrating to know that you are unable to create or download any brushes outside of Medibang’s free version. If you want the premium version, it still does not give you the ability to add your own creations as a stamp or a brush. It limits your creativity to do what you would like. Layers: Easy separation. You are able to organize it like Paint Sai. It’s easy and helps a lot when you have tons of layers.

Incredibly good Art Program

For being a free Art program it does its purpose incredibly well. I really enjoyed using this app for what was most likely three years straight and was happy with it the whole time. I’ve noticed that the text took isn’t that good though, so if you’re planning on making comics with this program, this isn’t the art program for you. The only reason I’m not giving it five stars is due to a more recent thing I’ve noticed. I’ve recently had to switch to my phone for drawing, and unfortunately I can no longer use the line tool or the tool that lets you move stuff around. This has been incredibly detrimental to my art process, and as such I unfortunately can’t use the app to its fullest anymore. So don’t use this app if you’re drawing on a phone. Other than that, the app is incredibly well made and I’d recommend it to any new digital artist.

Tons of pros, few cons

This app is amazing! Ive been using it for about a year and absolutely love it! Now i use an iphone and the design of the app is amazing, its easy to use and pleasing to look at, however i watched my friend use it on their samsung, and its not as pleasing and the setup is different, i tried using it and was very confused. So i kinda wish the setup was the same i guess, otherwise i find it amazing! Though sometimes when im coloring art, itll delete what i was working on coloring, and i have to start over (not completely) and it can be frustrating. And on samsung, i dont know if its their app or phone, but it keeps crashing on them and they have to restart their art or the majority of it. I give it five stars because it has never failed me like other apps have, and everything on it is free! You get tons of brushes and can make quality art for free!

Fantastic app that ive used for years!

I have always had difficulty finding art programs for mobile, especially for smaller devices such as the iPhone. This app allows you to draw with a wide variety of tools, filters, unlimited layers, and even has a stabilizer! While it has recently added in app purchases, they are in no way mandatory or needed to get in order to draw unrestricted! The only problem I’ve ever experienced is with editing the brushes. In the edit tab, the sliders don’t accurately show the percentage or number which you’ve chosen. You could tap the plus sign on any of them twice and it would go from, say, 50 to 54. But considering this app is nearly completely free, one could deal with this minor issue. (I also wish they had an animation feature, but this app is already so jam packed with features!)

Used to be good

I was a huge fan of the Medibang free version for years. It is the only drawing app I have used for the majority of my art tenure. Much of it was under paywall, but I still greatly enjoyed the brushes and overall setup. Unfortunately, Medibang has made the decision to increase the quantity of advertisements to the point of uselessness. Before, the ad would only play if you closed out or opened a new canvas. It was short, easily closable, and played no audio. Feasible. Now any button you press has the opportunity to spawn one. Temporarily exiting or opening the app will now shove a long, horridly loud ad at you that makes looking at references on your phone or sending a text impossible. There is no reason why I should have to wait minutes between looking at a tab and returning to drawing. This ad-disguised-art-app gives you the option of paying them to actually use the once free service or deleting the app. I for one will not be giving them any amount of money for this disrespect. I can no longer recommend this app. Sellouts

Best drawing app I’ve used so far

Okay, so currently I’ve moved from drawing on Tayasui Sketches to this, but I’ve used GIMP and a few other programs before it, and let me just say, this one is staying. Fricking. Amazing! 😆 It’s so close to Photoshop that it actually baffles me, and once you get used to the layout (it’s a tiny bit confusing at first) and start messing around with all the different brush choices, you so quickly fall a bit in love. There are so many different options as to what to do, it’s actually a bit overwhelming sometimes. You can even add in brushes, patterns a/o manga tones of your own!!!! 😍 Highkey the only problem is that once in a while it takes a toll on my computer because it’s a slight bit beefy, and that posting art on their site(?) is sort of impossible for me?? But that’s about it! 10/10, would recommend ✨☺️

Just needs an animation option!

This is, by far, the best software I’ve used for digital art; the brushes are good, the layout is easy to follow and awesome, and everything’s user friendly and easy to find. My only suggestion is that it could have an animation function, or even a separate app just for animation. I want to get into animation, but all of the apps I’ve seen for it have rather crappy brushes, and it’s difficult to navigate. If we could have the same layout as medibang with the addition of the option to add slides and set them in motion, my life would be complete. This app is awesome though, and I love it quite a bit. I’ve tried other fancy programs but I always find myself back here because it’s simply my favorite. It’s the best in my opinion, I just wish you could animate with it as well.

Actually enraging

I used to love this app, I started digital art on it and I’ve used it through my whole art Journey but ever time I use this app get progressively more upset. It used to just be ads on the front page, then ads after you closed one drawing and now there are ads every other time you hit the SAVE button. It is wildly obnoxious, especially as the ads can range from 5- second to 30 second and are usually not skippable. I’ve stopped saving as much because I hate dealing with the ads and end up losing lots of work. Even if I did save consistently like I used to, It wouldn’t matter since even when you do save, half of the time the file deletes or just straight up doesn’t save. Every update seems to be pouring more and more things into premium and completely disregarding everything else to do with the app. Genuinely mad, I don’t want to have to pay money to be able to use the free features of this app AS I SHOULD BE ABLE TO without being bombarded and lagged out by ads.

Amazing App... BUT

There is nothing else I can say... everything I think about the app are already in the positive reviews. PLEASE HAVE BETTER LINE TOOLS FOR LINE ART- The only thing that will set this apart from other drawing apps on the app store is better curve tools that allow for adjustment of pressure, etc. I hope that can be added, because that is one function that I can only get if I switch to a desktop application, which makes it quite annoying. GLITCHES- Also, sometimes the app crashes when dealing with bigger canvases, plus I cannot load png files from the my photo library, they turn into jpeg (?) (where there should be transparency there is just a white background, it doesn’t preserve the transparency)- I have to put the png on google drive and then download the pngs from google drive into the app for the transparency to be preserved. I hope this gets fixed, but other than that, it’s a amazing app for drawing on the iPad :)

This app is amazing!! But there’s a small bug...

I love everything about the app, it has a lot of features a digital drawing app should have, like selection tool, different types of brushes, layers, etc. what I also really like about the app is the color thingy looks different. I like how it’s original and it doesn’t look like that trendy color wheel (I wish I had the same color thingy on my iPad because I don’t want mine to be a color wheel..). I rated this review 4 stars and it’s because there’s a small bug that kinda annoys me a lot and that the undo button doesn’t work that well on my phone (using 2 fingers to undo). I know I can just use the undo button, but I’m just more comfortable using 2 fingers to undo. Please fix this!! It works fine on iPad, but on my phone it doesn’t work really well.

Guess I gotta drop and move on from this

I had used Medibang about 3 years now as a Windows and IOS user. I loved using this program as it provided best features for me to work on my art. While it has its cons, such as the ads coming in right after I save and leave my artwork, I couldn’t ever be more disappointed. Ever since the recent update, where the cloud system gained a storage limit of 3GB, not only I lost access to my own artwork within that storage, I also have to buy the premium just to get more storage and actually get it back?? Basically holding it hostage until I pay?? I didn’t even know about this change within the update was gonna happen until I wasn’t even able to save my own work since last month it happened. I even tried to remove some artwork within my cloud and it still didn’t even change a thing. While back then in the past, I would’ve paid for this if I ever had the chance, now this convinced me to not even buy anything at all for this application, even the premium. As much I would feel bad that I would let go of a good program like Medibang go, the update won’t do for me. Maybe do actually let any of the users know beforehand with your updates and actually extend the space within the cloud. I do get trying to get support and all for this program to work, but that wouldn’t really justify keeping our own artwork away from our grasps.

I love it! 😍

Hi there! If you are considering getting this app, I strongly recommend so! This app has a LOT of cool tools and such to use for free! You can use layers, color picker, eraser, adjusting and a whole lot more! The pencil tool comes with a large variety of other types of strokes such as brush, airbrush, pen, and pencil to name a few. But there are so many other choices it would take forever to list them! Yes, there are ads but it’s not unbearable at all, at least for me. They usually appear if you close out a canvas or open one. Sometimes they appear if the app refreshes sort of. But you can upload art to pictures, files, notes, and a lot more. Overall, this is an amazing app that I have lots of fun with! I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do! 😊

What are you even doing?

I had to stop my paid subscription. And I will tell you why. I just switched over to my new phone and it seems that pen pressure for mobile usage without connecting a pen doesn’t work anymore. Both are IOS so I do not understand why my older phone supports the option for pen presssure but my newer phone does not? I tried coming back to this program since it was my favorite thing to illustrate on the go in highschool. The subscription usage to the numerous adverts are becoming an eyesore. I think I will move back to using procreate, that is unless the pen pressure bugs is fixed (or at least addressed). I had my last phone for 6 ish years and have been able to use pen pressure just fine with my finger. Unless THAT was a bug that lasted 6 years on my phone even after resetting the app and data. I used to be a Medibang enthusiast and recommend everyone to use this as it got me so far, now I seem to just redirect people to procreate or even ibis.

Absolutely stunning

I love this app so much. In my experience I’ve gotten clearer results with this than with sketchbook pro, and the creators of the app are generous enough to make it free. I love using the mobile app as well as the version meant for pc. A couple of features don’t translate to the mobile app, but it’s power when drawing and coloring is outstanding. Airbrushes don’t look pixelated and staticky, and the brushes are pressure sensitive. Truly this is the best art application I’ve ever used. It’s been about 2 years now since I’ve had it, and have not found a better competitor that’s free and as easy to use with this level of quality. I’ve been drawing all my life, and this program has saved a lot of paper for me, I wish I could give it ten stars.

Grey scale only and unmovable layers (Please read!!!)

I think that it’s unique and definitely a good idea to make a drawing app for a smart phone. Not everyone, like myself, has a tablet so it’s a bit difficult to find art apps to draw on. The problem with this app is that I was in the middle of coloring when I tried to use a certain color that wasn’t in a grey scale. But the color was turning out grey anyway. I check the opacity and it was definitely not translucent. I tried exiting the app, changing brushes and even changing colors, but nothing worked. It kept turning out grey instead of the color I would have preferred to use. I also would try to make newer layers and put them underneath the line art layer, but I t wouldn’t budge. I was wondering if there’s something I’m doing wrong or if it’s a bug that needs fixing. Thank very much for taking the time to read this and I hope to hear your reply.

It has lost my trust

I thought this app was great before! but turns out it isn't and it's programming is FAULTY. I purchased the no ads add-on and it was working well for awhile... i noticed i was getting ads again (i was logged in, and everything) so I went to "restore purchase". kept going but kept failing. their ads are absolutely INTRUSIVE and ANNOYING so i wasn't going to put up with them again after i paid $5.99 for it. I planned to leave a review, asking about the problem. To my surprise i was completely unable to leave one because I, did not "own/download the app".... as a last resort, i deleted, and reinstalled the app, hoping that would solve the problem with the ads.. and it did! but unfortunately, to my dismay, years of art left in my Internal had been flushed down the drain. I thought the point of having my account connected to the app would allow me to recover any art left in my gallery. I guess not. Unless you guys fix the problem, you've lost my trust.

What an app

Honestly, I downloaded this app having very little faith that anything good would come of it. I love to draw but finding time between work was getting harder and harder and The only way I could think of squeezing in some practice was on my phone through an app during my lunch breaks. Enter Mediabang. This app is so well thought out and you can really tell the developers knew what tools were most important to an artist using the app. There are limitations to the tools available, but nothing that is crippling to the experience. The level of sophistication is honestly jaw dropping for an app that can be used on your phone. MOST IMPORTANTLY, I have to extend my sincerest gratitude to the developers for making such an enjoyable app entirely free.

I’m very pleased with this program but...

To preface, it’s awesome that this program is free and works as well as it does. I’ve purchased ones that weren’t nearly as good as this. That being said, if it’s possible, I would like to see a few things change. Such as the brush size limit. It’s upsetting that my brush size can’t be as big as I want it to be unless I’m using a very small canvas. In addition, I’m sure this is for optimization sake but the brush spacing can be abysmal sometimes with no way to make the spaces small enough to fix this. Another thing about the brushes is that (and maybe I’m doing something wrong) the brushes just feel a bit rigid compared to other programs, namely the pro version. It would also be nice to have more in depth tutorials on the brushes themselves. I think that would help a lot.

The best, but with one issue

This is still the absolute best paint app for iOS, but with the last few updates, I've noticed that my phone has been quickly heating up as I use it, and it's also making my battery drain rapidly. That's becoming a serious problem, especially since I have many projects to do, including commissions, and I can't keep taking breaks every couple minutes to let my phone cool off, or to frequently charge it, plus I don't want my phone damaged. If there's any way you could fix this problem, that would be awesome. I use an iPhone 6 with 9.1 software if that helps any. EDIT: I've discovered that keeping my phone on low power mode helps tremendously with the overheating and battery drain problem, but the app lags a lot when I'm zooming in and out.

Amazing! Can you add a Naming + Filing function?

I absolutely love this app!! I prefer it over Procreate definitely, and that program is $10! I would definitely buy the full version of this program, but only if the internal version allowed you to name the file and sort it. I know you can do that with an account, but i dont like that you can only name it with internet access. I would much rather the ability to sort, name, and file my art! I would definitely be willing to pay for that!! That’s my only reason for giving it a 3/5 instead of a 5/5, as that is would be a massive help and is kind of a massive downside to using the program currently. Its the only reason i alternate between Medibang and Procreate.

Crashes After Crashes (Slight cry for help)

Listen, MediBang. I absolutely ADORE your app but as of right now, the app will just keep on crashing. I’ve drawn with at least a hundred layers in one drawing and nothing happened. Today, I was almost to that layer number till it crashed. I didn’t mind it since it has happened. But this time, it just kept doing it and doing it over again. I’m having to redraw frames every time which can be annoying at times. BUT NOW, I CAN’T EVEN ACCESS THE CANVAS IN GENERAL. Every time I click on it, I wait then BAM, back to my home screen. I thought it was lack of storage space so I deleted apps, photos, videos, AND IT WILL STILL NOT LET ME ACCESS IT. I’m honestly trying everything but nothing is working. I would delete the app but I DRAW EVERYTHING IN INTERNAL AND SINCE THERE IS NO TRANSFER BUTTON TO ONLINE— I’m stumped. I’m hoping you fix this issue cause this project took me at least a week and I’ll be sadden if it will all go to waste. Thank you for the app but THIS IS URGENT!

Why I gave this a 1 star…

Honestly I don’t know what’s wrong with this. I’ve been using this program for about two years and I’ve not once ever had a problem with it, till these past few weeks. I’ve recently been having trouble with saving it. I use this on my pc and out of nowhere it just stopped saving my work. I tried saving it three different times and nothing, I even tried clearing up some space in my pc to see if that was the problem but nope. I’ve gone to multiple websites trying to figure this out and after EVERYTHING I could fine, none of it worked! At one point of me drawing I was working on a drawing and everything was fine I was almost done with it and then out of nowhere with no warning whatsoever and without it saving, the app closed. Three hours and maybe more time spent on that and it was gone. There was even one time I was working on something and I decided to save it so I could work on it in the morning because I was getting tired but it refused to save. I’m most likely never gonna use this again because now it won’t even let me go on it to draw, it just kicks me out. I’ve been finding a bunch of other drawing apps that work a lot better than this one. It’s sad because I loved this one so much and now I have to say goodbye to it.

Best Drawing App!

This so amazing! I didn’t regret getting this at all. The other drawing apps I got like iBisPaint X and others didn’t work out but this is amazing! It’s just like the app that I used on my PC for drawing but I switched to my iPad because I got tired of drawing with a mouse, lol. Anyways, anyone who is doing major drawings or being a digital artist as their job MUST try this app out. It has great features and I animate with this app as well by saving (a lot) of pictures and putting it in a video app. Even though not much people will see it, I’m still entertained with the app. The only thing the app needs is a bit better organization. It’s a bit confusing but at least my drawing looks good in the end😊

Liked it before they got greedy

I’ve used MediBang for at least 6 years now, it’s what I used when I started digital art, and it’s been super reliable and easy to use. I’ve tried using other programs before but they’ve never worked out so I always went back to MediBang. Until they forced this “premium subscription” and is hoarding my 6+ years of work from me unless I PAY just to open them. There was no warning whatsoever, nothing telling artists to prepare or anything in advanced, just started the program one day and ALL of my work is locked from me. This is completely disgusting and so disappointing. I’ve never been so upset before. The absolute greed that MediBang has shown by forcing this stupid subscription is plain and flat out disgusting. I’ve switched to CSP and enjoy it so much more, I regret not switching earlier. Will never be using MediBang again.

BETTER APPS OUT THERE

Now ive used medibang for a while on both pc and phone, however recently its like they stopped updates? So its very buggy. For example, if you zoom out on your canvas, it locks your position and you can't move in or out, or move the screen around UNLESS you save your work, and exit out of medibang completely. Which is a hassle for those that dont pay the subscription to remove ads. I use procreate and ibispaint now and ibispaint for a free alternative is much better. You can CHOOSE to watch an ad to unlock all brushes for 24hours. And its not even buggy. It also records a Timelapse of your work as well. Medibang was good in the beginning, i enjoy their pencil brush especially. But until they fix their bugs, update their app, and give a better method for the free users, i will never use this app again.

For the people who hate this drawing app

So basically if you’re having issues with this app and stuff I would recommend you to use IbisPaint X it’s an amazing app it doesn’t crash or freeze it’s completely free and to unlock all brushes (for 18 hours) you just need to watch 1 ad! Plus at the bottom when you open the app there’s other people’s drawing with a ranking from 1st place to 20th place and if you click on one of the drawings you’re gonna see a speed draw of the person making their art so you could get ideas of what to draw and stuff, that’s all I gotta say and have a great day/night! ^^

Ad-mageddon

I have had use of this app for a good 6-7 years. It is a wonderful app for drawing, especially if you just use it for basic drawing methods (not looking into using it’s timelapse or comic like features). Unfortunately, due to a recent update sometime in October(?), the ads that they had in the app have infected the canvas’ space. They are now in a banner at the top of your phone (or tablet’s) screen pushing the pencil selector bar further down and forcing the illusion of a smaller space for the artist unless you pay for their subscription service. I will not be paying for such a service, I am a hobbyist. I don’t make money from drawing and don’t ever plan on doing so. So I will leave this drawing application in my past like many others that are no longer available and find a better application to use.

Hello!

I think this app is amazing- I love to see all the other artworks people have made! There are a few things I am confused about however. One, I can’t like anything. Whenever i go to the favorite section, it says to tap the star icon on works you like. But I never see a star icon. Also, for some reason Art street won’t let me post ANYTHING. I was only able to put one or two things on there, and even then it was difficult. I was also wondering if your able to see more of the same persons Art- I always see names below the art pieces, but it doesn’t seem you can go and see their other drawings. (I don’t know if that made any sense I’m not good at explaining things..)

Limited Cloud Storage Capacity

Medibang is one of my favorite drawing apps. I’ve been using it free for years but I feel that it is unfair to be limiting the storage capacity for drawing especially for all the people who have used Medibang for a long time and no longer have access to their old artworks, having to pay to do so. It is very annoying to have to pay just to go back and save every drawing. Especially since I have not even known about the update until it happened. I love the program every update about having to paying to use the app makes me want to switch even more. I understand the company needs money for a variety of reasons, but restricting the user’s availability for the program is going to drive them away. Again, Medibang is a great app. I just think that the whole subscription update for the cloud is very frustrating.

Used to love this app but the ads are too much

I’ve been using this app for years now and it’s always been my go-to for sketches or image tweaks, and I’ve even recommended it to a bunch of people, but the update to put a banner ad on the functional part of the app is souring the goodwill its built up. I’ve never minded the ads that pop up when you open the app for the first time or before you open a new file- even the video ones that make you wait before closing them- I get you need to keep the lights on. But persistent ads right above the canvas? Where you’re drawing? I keep accidentally hitting the thing when I’m trying to use most basic features of the app- please revert this! Put more ads out front if you absolutely must but not where you’re meant to draw. It’s very obtrusive and makes the app a huge pain to use

amazing + suggestion

i love this app. i used to be a hardcore user of ibis paint because to be honest it is a great app, but having a really close friend constantly tell me of this app is what convinced me to at least give medibang a try. i tried it once and i didnt like it mostly because i did not give it a chance, but when i decided i wanted to try painting i got it again. i’ve been using it ever since. its really self-explanatory and has very simple functions that can be used in such complex ways, the brushes are great, the interface is able to be adjusted according to your tastes and on its own it already looks great, additionally i love the filters and user-friendly tools to use to your advantage. to be honest the only thing i ask of right now is to have a playback feature where i can play back a video of the process i took to draw. if that was included, i’d be literally the happiest person to ever use this app. thanks and please i hope this review gets read over and that my suggestion is taken into consideration. thanks again ❤️❤️

My favorite free drawing app !!!!

I’ve been doing digital art for about 6 years now, and while my main program is procreate, this is still my favorite free drawing app that I’ve found. It’s easy to use, has all the features I need, and doesn’t obnoxiously shove ads in your face. Also, I love the free brushes that come with the program, and I’ve been able to make some pretty cool art with them!! Whether you’re new to digital art or you’re just looking to try out something new, I would absolutely recommend this program. It’s not the fanciest one out there, but it’s free and it works well :)

Great app honestly

If you are a digital artist trying to find new drawing apps I say this one is worth a shot. It’s really confusing when you first start using it but you’ll once you get the hang of it it becomes a lot of fun. Honestly, the only reason first place is because I ibis paint wasn’t cutting it out for me and I switched to this app since someone recommended me it. Then again I don’t have much experience with mainstream drawing apps, I used to use this app that’s now deleted called sketch. Uhh my reviews getting too long, uh good app, only bad parts are probably the ads, and have a nice day :D

I love this app!

This review is probably going to be long and I never write reviews, EVER but this app is so good! A friend recommended it to me because I love drawing, you can use it with a stylus which I love because I don’t have any “phone drawing pens” I was so surprised it was 100% free because usually apps like these are free! You can share your designs, when you first get on it it has a option where you can watch a tutorial on how to use it, I didn’t watch it but I wish I did! I have figured most of the stuff out, but I’m not sure if it has a option to save to your camera roll, apart from that, it’s a incredible app that I recommend!!!

probably the best out there

*insert “blah blah blah i don’t normally give reviews” stuff* Medibang is the first, and currently only, drawing app on my phone. There is very good reason for this. “But anon,” you may ask, “what are the reasons?” That is probably a good question to ask. First of all, it’s intuitive. I can recover my drawing if i close the app without saving, correction helps with my shaky hands, YOU CAN TURN OFF ANTI-ALIASING (I am very passionate about this, Ibis Paint X cannot do that to my knowledge!) The tools are right in front of you and customizable. Medibang paint is fast. If you want to save it, click the icon and whoosh! It’s saved. Want to add an effect (Add, Overlay, etc...)? One tab, one click, take a stab, and you can pick. I get lag sometimes, but that’s mostly because my phone will let me download 6 apps at most with a ton of lag.. That’s more of a personal thing though. My one con is watch out! There is a lot of NSFW on the “social media” part of it. If you don’t like that stuff, be warned. Overall, it is gucci in the Balducci.

Worthless app

so I downloaded this worthless app and within the first 20 minutes realized that it does not work on an apple iPhone X. Nobody said anything about a stylus pen and you can't even provide feedback. This application does not work at all, which makes the fifth application that I've tried. I'm a digital creator, and I'm ready to give up. All I wanna do is create digital pictures and I can't find a mobile app that's suitable for my iPhone X or even my Samsung Medibank doesn't work at all on my iPhone X. It's not compatible and it doesn't state that. furthermore, it says you can draw with anything which is not true I don't have a stylus pen I'm trying to do AIA digital imaging llama three is a horrible program. Wambo does not work mid journey. You need discord for this is just another worthless app that can't be used on my apple.

20.1 update caused problems

I love this app to pieces and it was my first drawing app but after the 20.1 update, an issue arose. I went into the app to my gallery and nothing was showing up. I created new canvases and they wouldn’t appear in gallery(the last one I created would appear if I pressed continue) and this is stressing me out. The majority of my pieces are internally and I use the app on my iPad so I’ve tried restarting my iPad and logging in and out of the app and nothing worked. I have this app on my phone as well but there were no issues there. I’m afraid of reinstalling the app because of the risk of loosing all of my pieces. I really hope that this issue gets resolved quickly.

Getting out of hand

This app is very nice for the type of digital art I do, painting for example, but there is a reason why I would never give this app five stars. The ads. I understand revenue is a needed thing, but when you already charge your members a certain amount of access certain filters, getting an ad every time I open the app or exit a certain drawing is overkill. The ads they sponsor often have an x button that obnoxiously small, so I ACTUALLY have to leave the entire app to close it. Which, I think, is ridiculous. This App never used to be like this, but all of a sudden, so many good apps require ads every five seconds. It’s disappointing and frankly, disgusting. Step up your game MediBang. Potentially losing progress on a drawing because I can’t exit out of your ads is ridiculous, when I’ve already lost entire drawings because your app suddenly shuts down is not reasonable. The only reason I still use it is because your biggest competitor doesn’t have a decent brush I need. Other than that, they are your equal and better in every way. I’m sorry, but I find it unreasonable.
