MediBang Paint for iPad for Negative User Reviews
✓ Wouldn’t drawI download this app but when I downloaded it I couldn’t draw. I hope this would get better. I personally couldn’t draw and that was really frustrating for me. As someone who is trying to practise I did not appreciate it..Version: 26.7
✓ Added ads onto the main canvas, disappointing to say the leastI have been using MediBang for the past few years. I haven’t found the ads intrusive and the app itself is pretty good for a free app. But this recent update has added banner ads to the canvas, effectively taking away 25% of the canvas for advertising. The canvas is the workspace and the most important part of the app, so to put adverts there is mildly annoying at best and infuriating at worst. To say I’m disappointed with this latest update is an understatement. Please fix this if it’s a mistake if you wish for me to continue using your services..Version: 24.1
✓ ADDSGet rid of these adds!! Kids might see these and freak out . The adds aren’t even censored and that could be bad . I can’t see some of my screen because of them. You should not have to get a premium membership. You should get rid of them or I’m not using medibang ever again.Version: 26.7
✓ Good App not worth paying forThis app is pretty awesome. It’s very similar to photoshop but it does take some getting use to. However, NEVER PAY FOR THIS APP. The point of paying for the app is to remove ads and unlock features. Unfortunately, paying for it only removes part of the ads despite it tellin you when click the link to purchase “Remove Ads” Once at the pay screen, “Only removes in-app ads. Website related ads stay.” Ummm no. If you want me to pay for it, remove ALL ads, not just part of them especially when initial you tell me you’re removing ads if I pay. App does fall short on many small things, one labeling. It’s difficult to find tools because of the lack on screen info. I know this did this in order to save space, but it’s frustrating looking for a tool just to find out it’s in front of you but using an icon that is usually displayed for something else..Version: 15.1
✓ SO CONFUSING!! Don’t recommendSo I just started and it’s really hard to find around I know I just started but when I just started ibisPaint it was MUCH easier like i watched some stuff about that it it was MUCH nicer than this like WHY DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE SO MANY TOOLS AROUND!!??? And I could not even find on the layer to put an image “watch a tourial” um I will I just need to explore for ibisPaint very easy watched 1 tourial BOOM but for this I might need 4 tourials not being crazy i explored ibisPaint then watched one and I don’t think this is even better Recommend: ibisPaint Don’t recommend: this And that add MAKE IT SMALLER my eye looked at it and honestly I don’t think that’s helpful for other people . Another thing is the eye drop tool looks like a pen/pencil. It would be confusing for other people And can you make it easier to change the brush size like on the bottom like ibisPaint? Also I don’t really know if it’s me or the canvas everything is big and the canvas is just in the middle please just I don’t think JUST LISTEN TO YOUR REVIEWS and make it easier instead of COMPLEX! And you need to make less tools or make them beside in a line and the canvas and the right. THANK YOU SO MUCH OF THE GOOD REVIEWS I READ I will try more.Version: 24.5
✓ Love this appI love using this app but the app always freezes when I’m in the middle of a drawing or the drawing altogether and I lose progress which frustrates me bc I work on minor details that I deem perfect but then the app crashes. I’m not sure if this is a major bug everyone experience at some point bc it’s not my iPad nor my connection to the internet or anything. I’m so close to deleting this app and finding a new one...Version: 26.5
✓ Terrible app. Continues to delete my stuffWords can not portray the amount of animosity I hold with this drawing program. It has deleted my work several times. Even when I’ve backed it up it either deletes the whole thing or resets half of my progress leading to me having to start all over again. It’s laggy for seemingly no reason and doesn’t respond well to me using my Apple Pencil. Not to mention how greedy the developers are getting with having ads everywhere that fills half of the canvas. There’s an ad every 8 seconds and it’s just not worth it for the lack of brushes and canvas space on the program. I highly recommend you guys get into Ibis paint because even if it has canvas ads they don’t take up the whole screen and they have a wide variety of brushes (plus more in the online brush library) that you can use. Save yourself the time wasted and you won’t have to worry about your files getting corrupted, half your work/progress being sent into the abyss, or being completely deleted. I know the developers won’t read this but I’m deleting this app 1/10 never using this stupid app again..Version: 26.7
✓ Crashing IssueI absolutely love this drawing app, I’ve used it for years and still love it to this day, but the crashing problem is getting incredibly ridiculous. How has it come to the point where it seems to crash every five minutes!? Could you guys please find a way to fix this issue?? It has been going on for an unreasonably long amount of time..Version: 26.9
✓ BuggyLove the program and all the tools but the auto save doesn’t actually save your pic anywhere. Found this out after it force quit after 3 hours of auto saving every 5 mins and my work had disappeared. I’ve gotta manual save constantly and each time it makes a new file. It force quits itself all the time. If this was sorted out it would be a 5 star app.Version: 17.4
✓ Crashes ConstantlyMedibang Paint has always been my favourite art application, from desktop to iPad. It’s simple, with a good interface, nice brushes, and all the layer modes and transformation tools that one could need. My review is only two stars because of a very recent issue. It’s been crashing constantly, with no autosave files to go back to because of the crash. Unless you save every five seconds, it’s impossible to draw for a long period on this program. I’ve lost countless pieces. I’ve been looking for another program to switch to because of this issue. I hope they can find a way to fix this issue, otherwise I won’t be using Medibang Paint any longer..Version: 15.1
✓ IdekI love using it, but it won’t launch anymore and it deleted all my drawings. As someone who makes money off of art, this is extremely frustrating and puts me behind in my work. Please fix the issue of it crashing..Version: 17.4
✓ This new service feels.. UnnecessaryI used to use Medibang quite a lot in the past few years, and everything was fine! Even when the pop up ads that showed up when you closed a canvas were added, i was fine with it. However, I recently noticed a banner ad at the top of the canvas’ toolbar? Which wasn’t too much of an issue, i couid simoky just get the Creative Pack. I had been meaning to get it for awhile whenever I had the money for it. Then, when I went to buy it, the screen for a Premium subscription showed up. Whatever, I coukd just find another tab that’d allow me to buy the Pack, right? Exept it was nowhere. Personally, I feel like there should be a way to access the product for the one time purchase, considering the only other thing Premium is offering that the Pack doesn’t have is more Cloud storage, which I don’t use or need. I don’t have the spending money to subscribe to a service that I wouldn’t even be using when it came to its main selling point. This has sort of soured my liking for this app, as with the excessive ads everywhere, it feels more like Adware more than a drawing program. I’m hoping that there will be a more accessible way to get the other purchase option in future, but for now, I wouldn’t recommend this app..Version: 24.1
✓ Why is premium monthly? And do you realize how ugly your app is now?If you’re going to shove ads in all of our faces in the middle of the freaking canvas, the least you could do is have it be a one time payment of $3 or something of the like. The way you’ve set it up now, I’m sure you’ll become as soul sucking as Adobe is with its products. The ads are actively distracting when they change in the middle of drawing, and make the already complicated set up of the workspace even more cramped now that you’ve taken up an inch of my screen with ads. I doubt any new artists will ever come to MediBang now that you’ve made it like this. I’m only staying because I’m comfortable with it after using it to draw happily for three years before you felt the need to mess with something that was good. In the end, you’re screwing yourself over. And unless you change what you’ve started before you go entirely downhill, I’d say you deserve it. I doubt anyone working on this app even looks at these reviews, though, and all you care about anyway is the money. Screw art when there’s profit to be made, huh?.Version: 24.5
✓ Well here is my rate!Hello! This app is well... ANNOYING all it does is frustrate me!! It might not for you but it glitches and freezes and doesn’t save your work!! But there is a little bit of positive about this app, it does fill in time and it does improve your art (kind of), but I do recommend it to people with the right tools and mindset. I would LOVE something to change, it is that when drawing and sometimes when you draw you lean on something well when I’m leaning on the device drawing on this app it glitches when draw because I’m leaning but yes I know, what about don’t lean but it is HARD!! But maybe this app isn’t right for me just because I’m bad at art and I need a better mindset. I hope you have an AWESOME day bye!.Version: 22.7
✓ Bad new updateI’ve had this program for about two years now, has been a very good and solid free drawing app. A few months ago I learned how to make my own custom brushes and I primarily use the ones I made. Now with this new update, just a few minutes ago, ALL of my brushes are the basic “watercolour” and “cannot retrieve brushes” pops up when I click them. All of my brushes and even the cloud brushes aren’t working, I don’t know if this is a glitch or not but please fix it. It is upsetting..Version: 16.1
✓ BuggyI purchased the full version to remove ads and it won’t let me restore the purchase. Always says it failed to restore the purchase, no matter if I try going though the buy button (where it asks me if I would like to restore my purchase) or if I just click restore purchase. It’s sad since I actually quite like drawing on the app. I even tried reinstalling after backing up my files. Still no luck..Version: 22.5
✓ Great but the update brought something along…I’ve been using MediBang Paint as my go-to drawing app ever since I got my IPad Pro. Before, it was the greatest drawing program I’ve had since FireAlpaca — I was able to set the settings to my preferences, I could spit out drawings left and right, and I could find new ways to experiment with the bushes I had. Then came the update that brought the ads at the top. For some reason, and this mostly happens when I select the eraser tool or something else, but the zoom suddenly freezes. I can still draw and put my pen down in some spots, but I am unable to use my fingers to zoom in and out while I draw. It’s been happening ever since the ads at the top of the screen suddenly appeared. I love this app and it’ll take me a while to find a new app that I could get use to so I wonder if there is a way for this to be fix?.Version: 24.4
✓ Was great but they ruined it (better off getting Procreate)I loved this app so much used the desktop version and recommended it to everyone. Had zero issues and was easily my favourite art programme, then they added the paid for version and suddenly the app crashes and closes randomly even when it full up to date and very often to my frustration, even the auto save feature doesn’t save all my work. I would of supported the app by paying for the better version if they hadn’t made the free version insufferable. Better off paying for Procreate who actively care about their users and all the updates are just add great features rather than destroying it for half their users.Version: 16.1
✓ It was good, but then it got worse.I’ve been using Medibang for iPad ever since late 2016 and it’s honestly one of the best art programs I’ve ever used. I’ve used it on and off in the past, but recently due to other issues, I had to delete and reinstall the app but at this point I hadn’t been really actively used it for a month or so. However when I started using it again today, it was… certainly different. I was already familiar with the suffocating video ads they added not too long ago, but with the addition of the awful banner ad that sticks on the top of your canvas while you draw, and locking more features and brushes behind a paid subscription, I quickly realized this program that I love so dearly probably won’t be used much in the future anymore. If you’re an artist and you get distracted or annoyed by ads and locking basic features and brushes behind a paywall / subscription, I cannot recommend this to anyone anymore like I used to..Version: 25.1
✓ File browsing, Saving and loading is clunkyI like this app. But jumping in and out is annoying. Because of the way the loading screen is trying to serve you ads and community you have to find your way to your gallery. Then if you want to work with multi page comics, you have to load from server every time. Impossible to work offline, and creates slow saving and loading times that breaks your work flow. Then it doesn’t auto save, so have you manually save and confirm that you want to save when going out to gallery. My experience would greatly improve by stepping it up to the likes of other apps like sketchbook pro or procreate. Have local copies of multi page comics and just synchronise to server in the background..Version: 21.0
✓ Big problemI really like the drawing software but it will freeze and I lose everything! It has happened multiple times now and I only have used it for two drawings, it’s really disheartening that even if I save it isn’t reliable:(.Version: 26.2
✓ Please Read ThisI have given this app 3 stars, and, why would I do that?: This app is absolutely perfect. Just one thing bothers me. I can’t upload a photo to the canvas. This is really annoying, because it’s not even in premium! Although, if you DO add it, please don’t put it in premium.. my parents would never allow me to get it! That’s all, so bye..Version: 25.1
✓ Backup crashing issueThe app is usually pretty good, however there’s a major issue surrounding crashes when it automatically backs up a painting. Been using the app for years and it’s not come up before now, it will 9 times out of 10 crash as soon as the backup starts. Ive lost a lot of hours worth of drawing over this bug. The bug reporting page is also very difficult to use as the button to submit does not work very often..Version: 27.4
✓ Crashes way to much.I was on a canvas with a lot of pixels or whatever were calling it, and I’ve drawed on much bigger canvases and those crash way less often. So I was drawing and working on a ref for my character, but it wouldn’t let me draw the torso, and if I’m completely done with one part, the app crashes and I have to restart it. I also was finished with the lineart of an artwork I was super proud of, and the app crashed. I was fine with that, because I had a short outage/the WiFi was down for a short amount of time. So when I went back into the app, the normal tab with the “MediBang Paint Closed Unexpectedly. Would you like to recover your art?” Or something like that. I accidentally did discard, and I thought it just went into the gallery. When I checked, it was completely deleted. I think you should not have the discard option, because if someone’s having trouble with their Art or their app crashed, do you think they would seriously want to delete it? They can just do it through the gallery. But please remove that feature..Version: 25.2
✓ Devastating updateI gave 2 star because I loved this app so much before. But as soon as Medibang introduced a subscription I found it became completely unusable. I would’ve bought the subscription if the free version was not becoming this bad. Every a few seconds the picture freezes, or colour cannot be picked up, or layers freeze. Not to mention the super annoying top band ad which ate the big chuck of the drawing space! So sad! You can not lure people into buying your app by significantly reducing the quality of the currently free product. Honestly I hope the developer change it back and I would consider buying it. Now I just have to switch to other apps..Version: 24.4
✓ Inappropriate adsI’ve been using this app for years and previously didn’t have much issues, but why put an ad right on top of the canvas while drawing? It’s uncomfortable to look at, especially when said ads are about plastic surgery and inappropriate games directed at kids, there were multiple that depicted enlarged lips with a needle and a cat girl character from an adult parody that was meme’d on sometime last year and the year before. My siblings and I occasionally share my devices and I’d hate for them to see these..Version: 26.7
✓ Fell from gloryMedibang USED to be my go-to, now I find it unbearable. I uninstalled it after they forced new banner ads WITHIN THE CANVAS!! Spanning the entire page, effectively reducing my drawing space and being really distracting & aggravating. 😡 I briefely gave it another try recently (Dec. 2023) and now the banner ads are often animated (so worse!), the program is slower, forces you to log in before you can even TRY it (unless you watch an ad ofc 🤪), takes ages to load the “premium” ad if you accidentally click on a “premium feature” 🙄, loads a video ad EVERY TIME you leave the canvas (& leaving the canvas is the only way to export as .psd), and there’s NO option to just pay to remove ads. It’s ONLY subscription to avoid the now-laggy headache this app is. Perhaps if you have an adblocker that works for this or have an extremely high tolerance for loading time & intrusive ads you’d like Medibang; but knowing how great it used to be fills me with such vitriol for what it’s become..Version: 27.3
✓ It’s a great app but....I’m having trouble with some of the brushes. When ever I use the pencil it comes out with nothing unless I change the tool to no opacity by pressure which basically makes it the pen tool. Also the eraser tool comes out extremely small even when it’s at the biggest option. This app used to work for me so I assumed that I just needed to delete and then download again but it still doesn’t work. If someone could help me that would be great..Version: 12.3
✓ Not what you're expecting, MediBang.No one of us are gonna buy subscription just to remove the ad from top, kiddo. It's annoying. Both new ad and new subscription are annoying. It's making your app look bad overall. It scares away new artists, existing artists would have gone to alternatives or are still waiting for perhaps a new objectively superior alternative to ambush this ad-infested app you made. Because who's sane enough to pay to see your ads removed? First you cherry picked artists to have premium without paying. Second, there's technical experienced artists that can block your ads without paying through either adblock at router level or airplane mode. For those who actually paid, they're wealthy artists or just really desperate to see your ads gone. I see you do lot of "minor" bugfixes, I suspect you're seeing ad-related bugs coming back to those on "premium". I see ongoing ad-related bugs for us still on this ad-infested app. With new ad in top, you're hurting everyone, I guess literally everyone! That includes your future self- for destroying your own reputation. Because you and your current self loves shoving ads, and consequently bugs, into artists' faces, destroying their creative minds. You're a detriment..Version: 24.4
✓ So badYou can’t even make HD eyes for Minecraft.Version: 25.1
✓ WhyThe ad at the top of the canvas has ruined this app I’ve used for over 4 years. It makes the canvas glitch and freeze when doing anything. The fact that you expect people to pay monthly so they do not have to experience this is greedy and disgusting. If you care about your users and not wanting them to leave, then fix this..Version: 24.1
✓ A bit buggy but otherwise pretty goodI’ve used the app on a seperate device for about a year and a half and now - and despite being constantly urged to move to a different program - I never want to leave it. The actual setup is easy to understand and takes minimal time to get used to. The four, instead of five stars, is for the newer portrait mode. Sometimes I used to use the app in either dimension, but I just can’t do that with the portrait mode anymore. Maybe it’s just my personal opinion, since I simply don’t like sliders. The bugginess, as mentioned before, includes an issue with the transition between portrait and landscape mode. If I accidentally switch to portrait mode, and flip back to landscape, sometimes: the hand tool, eye dropper tool, undo and redo buttons all disappear. If I go back to portrait, they’re back, and then if I switch to landscape, there’s a rough 20 percent chance of the buttons coming back. Otherwise, I end up having to restart the program. Luckily, I am still able to save in this situation. In which case I save my work, and restart the application before continuing..Version: 13.3
✓ Incredibly bad bugI love this app. It’s an easy, beginner’s tool to create incredibly decent art and I would not be considering changing my art platform, except for a horrible bug I have come across multiple times. It is incredibly hard to find a way to report bugs, by the way— I can’t find a support email address, so now I have to resort to this review. This bug consists of brush stroke glitches, such as not registering the changing in position of your finger (making a second stroke produces a stroke between the end of the last stroke and the beginning of the current one) and ends in an incredibly bad glitch in which the eraser becomes a brush. This might be only limited to the eraser brush itself, but because it is still registered as an erasing stroke there is absolutely no way to undo it. If this explanation doesn’t make sense, basically when you try to use the eraser brush it goes down as a physical brush stroke rather than an erasing stroke. This glitch effectively corrupts projects through the permanent strokes, and it has done so to me three times now. I am becoming ever frustrated by this horrible bug. I don’t know what the best option is, but if anyone experiences odd brush behavior it would most likely be safest if you exited the canvas and/or app in hopes of preventing permanent eraser marks. If I experience this bug again and/or cannot find an easy way to access user support, I will most likely be abandoning MediBang..Version: 13.5
✓ Removed Core Functionalities for ProfitI've been using MediBang for a couple of years now - nothing serious, since I'm not a skilled artist, but colouring and posing and occasionally posting. Within the last 6-ish months, though, the app has been pushing VERY hard for premium... And not in a good way. Most notably, certain features like multi-layer selection have been thrust behind a paywall where they had previously been available to all users. Clicking it now gives the 'hey, you can use this with Premium ;)' message. It was bad enough that before it, starting off this downward slope, a good ⅙-⅕ of the screen while drawing was suddenly filled with an ad... So not only did the screen get smaller, but now I can't do as much with it as I could have in the past. I can't help but wonder what else we'll be deprived of in a couple months time. I cannot justify continuing to use this app with that in mind. It was a good run, but the money grubbing got to 'em..Version: 25.3
✓ The downfallI’ve been using MediBang for the past 8 years, it’s been the only drawing software I’ve ever bothered using and I basically learned to draw on it. That being said, when I updated it today and found a huge advertisement squashing my canvas, I was heartbroken. I can deal with ads in between drawings but they need to fix this or else I’m downloading a different app :(.Version: 25.1
✓ Just Get Procreate at this pointThis app used to be better, I don’t know what happened. Suddenly the app is crashing constantly without saving my work. It now also has a bug with the undo button where it will act as if I have pressed it multiple times when I haven’t, which is causing me to have to redo a lot of work. For an app that has the audacity to give you ads on the top of the screen and ask you for money to get rid of them, it ought to work better. They make more than enough money to invest into making their app work well. The most updated version of the app should work better than before the update. If you have an iPad, don’t bother with MediBang if you’re looking for a good drawing app at this point. It’s missing features from its desktop counterpart, and the ads are really annoying. Instead of paying to get rid of the ads and hope they fix the bugs, just buy procreate. It’s cheap and works way better than this. It’s a decent drawing program if you need a free one, but it’d be even better if they actually fixed the issues with it..Version: 26.7
✓ You guys ruined the magic selection tool with this update...The app is amazing, absolutely, i have been using it for YEARS, but this recent update was...well i do appreciate that you guys fixed those issues with the other tools, but now, the magic selection tool doesnt work the same, let me explain...early today i began to draw after the app got it’s proper update, and i finished a sketch, and then i began to paint, this drawing had a lot of very dark colors, mostly black, but very distinct shades of black, and now, everytime i use the magic selection tool, which should only cover one color at a time, now covers ALL the whole painting, every black it finds it gets involved into a single selection, when I’m trying to keep each black separated for different things, it doesn’t work anymore...please fix it as soon as possible, I don’t like it in the slightest, thank you.Version: 16.1
✓ Really wish have the brush folder function and multiple color plateSo, as a fan of using multiple brush, sometimes even one brush but multiple setting, I really wish we have some function such as allow us create folders for the brushes. The super long rolling is annoying. And sometimes different subject needed different color preset, so if we have this function on iPad will be amazing. Now my original platte is getting close to running out of space. As please optimize the offline mode, sometimes I do need to work on offline mode (such as in airplane) it’s annoying that every time I switch out and then back it keep popping out no internet And I think it will be nice if art street allow customers upload their own brushes or materials. ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— not a fan with the new updates!!! It used to be so clear to see what saved project do I have in the local. Now I don’t even know… just so confuse. Why you keep change the things that works well and never fix the things that not working???.Version: 26.8
✓ Glitchy and Eh..Okay so first of all I am in love with the brushes there are! But it’s really laggy and when I try to tilt the canvas it glitches.. Also it makes me feel really cramped and costar phobic (if that’s how u spell it) because the brushes are on one side which takes up most of the space and the layers are on the other side which takes up most of the right space.. So I only recommend this if you aren’t picky on what art app you use...Version: 17.4
✓ Used to be goodUsed to use and recommend as a free alternative to clip studio pro formerly known as manga studio. There is no option to purchase a one off licence for no ads. I don’t like subscription software , too WEF dystopia like. I recommend people to keep their old versions and use that as long as they can or find alternative drawing software. I found some for the iPad. The ads are intrusive , and totally brain crashes me because of being neurodivergent… making the app feel like a pile of trash that needs to be closed , and deleted off my iPad before even drawing one line on the canvas which is impossible to me… the ads make it messy and garbage… so sad this app is now rubbish.Version: 26.8
✓ I'm confused...What happened to the fonts? Have they been locked up under a pay wall?1 used to use all the fonts now most have been disabled what happened? Does this mean potentially more already established features will be locked up? If so I'm worried what else is going to get cut. I don't mind the ads but couldn't the Old fonts be free whilst new added fonts be added? Would appreciate a response if possible. Thx.Version: 22.11
✓ BuggyThis app is a good drawing up but the only complaint I have is that the new update the loading icon has increased and is. A lot bigger than before. 90% of the time the icon has a glitched white box around it. Looks unprofessional. It looked so much better before. I understood that this app needed to make money by advertising apps but now when you exit anything a huge full page video plays and when you get out of it, it crashes the whole app. This happens to many times. I’m not happy with how this app has come along. If they kept the same things from previous updates it would have been so great but it isn’t anymore..Version: 16.1
✓ Works good, but a few issuesI’ve been using MediBang for a few months now and I really like it! It works mostly well and my art has improved ever since switching from traditional to digital. But recently there’s been a few issues. Whenever I use the ellipse tool (which is often) the screen will lock up and prevent me from zooming in and out, and sometimes from using the ellipse tool. It’s very frustrating to have to reload the work every time I want to draw a circle. On top of this, the new addition of the add on top of the program is also aggravating, as it squishes down the program and can be very distracting. I understand why you have ads in the free version, and I don’t blame you for trying to make money off of your app, but that specifically makes me want to switch art programs all together. Thank you for taking your time to read my review, and have a nice day!.Version: 24.3
✓ Been getting buggierIt was really good, but with the last few updates it seems to be more prone to crashing. Seems like most of the side bar stuff (where pen pressure, snapping and such is) I touch causes the app to freeze, then it either crashes or I have to force quit it ): I really hope these issues get resolved, as I’m using the iPad Pro for all my digital art.Version: 12.1.1
✓ Keeps crashing and not savingEvery time I draw for a long time and go to save, it doesn’t save but instead just says it failed and there’s literally no way for me to save it, please fix this, it has happened to me so many times.Version: 26.6
✓ Awful UpdateI’m sorry but as someone who has used this for years the sudden update has made this app a struggle to use. The ad on top of your screen while drawing is such a hassle to deal with as it has taken up space and it really is uncomfortable to deal with. Not to mention to even get rid of that annoying ad is to pay a membership? I’m sorry but I’m not having that. I was so much happier with the ads we had before, but not this. I did not mind watching ads after closing a project but I do mind an ad in front of my face while I’m working on a piece. Please try to change your plan to a one time pay or go back to watching ads instead of plastering one on my workplace, or at this point I’m switching to Procreate..Version: 24.2
✓ Amazing but ,,,,I have used this app for quite a few years now on my phone then laptop and now my iPad. It’s very great!! I love the brushes, layer filter options, and many more. It’s just a great drawing app to use and I would recommend it but like,,,, the newest update just made it quite bad. The newest update added an unnecessarily large ad at the top, it’s really annoying and distracting, and makes drawing/working in the app quite uncomfortable in my opinion. Another issue with this new update is that after a while of using the app (I’d say 5 minutes maybe even less) the screen freezes and doesn’t move when I want to zoom in or out, but I’m still able to press some buttons? Which makes no sense to me. So, please remove the big ad at the top, it discourages me from using the app by a very large amount. I didn’t download this app because if this reason. I recommend just making it small and at the bottom or just,,,, getting rid of it completely!!!.Version: 24.4
✓ Ad Bar MovedThis is my favorite art app. I love the tools and the layout for the tolls which allows you to use them quickly and easily. I’ve been using it for YEARS and I have tons of art on here, but one day when i got onto the app, the little pop up ad bar that is usually at the bottom, was on the top of the screen. This doesn’t SOUND like a big issue, but for me it is. The little ad bar at the top is in the way and makes it difficult to draw. I tried everything! I even spent hours uploading all my art to the cloud, and then deleting the app in order to get it again to see if it was fixed. Nothing. I went to ask my sister and she had the same problem! I then looked at all my art through the years and noticed most of it was gone. Completely. Before deleting the app, I triple checked that everything was saved. I love this app, and if anyone else is having a problem, I’d love for the ad bar to be put back at the bottom of the screen. 😁.Version: 24.4
✓ MehIn all honesty, it's a great app! It's especially exceptional for it being new, but in all honesty, it crashes rather often, and it's especially more prone to crashing when using a canvas that isn't the same size as the device. I often use a larger size due to a small pixel size on my iPad, so I have to either suffer a poorer quality picture, or never finish a drawing. And it even crashes on the device size -\_("/ )_/- Either way, it's still a great app and I love using it, it's just rather hard too....Version: 13.0
✓ OofIts REALLY good and I love it, but while Im in the canvas, there’s an ad at the top and now I cant concentrate and I cant get to layer 1, when I can, it’s still really distracting and if you pay for no ads the space is still there (my friend payed). My blur is very laggy and doesn’t work how it should. Other than that, it’s amazing, I only use pencil and blur, so I don’t know about the others, and the eraser is fine.Version: 24.4
✓ Pretty displeasedThe brushes, and application itself work fine, but I couldn’t recommend this to artists who want to work on larger pieces of art. The application closes due to opening a drawing file I have with over 200 layers, it seems to be overloading the app. Like it’s unable to support that many layers being used, or maybe this is one of those things were you HAVE to pay for premium in order to use more layers. I’m unsure, but I’m pretty displeased with it, I only had to add final details but due to the app closing I’ll have to settle with what is already on the canvas. If this happens to be a glitch, please consider looking into it and fixing it. I enjoy using this app for the most part, but I definitely plan to work on more large pieces in the future, and I cannot see myself doing that with this application if it continues to do this. (UPDATE) : I just paid for the premium version, and I still am unable to access my drawing file without the application closing. For the love of everything please please PLEASE FIX THIS! I’ve paid actual money! This is ridiculous! I’ve never experienced this even with the most mundane drawing apps such as Ibis PaintX..Version: 24.2
✓ Terrible after updatePretty sure I already left a review but the update that introduced the blatantly distracting stupid ads made this app basically unusable for many users, nobody will pay for the removal of ads when they could simply convert to a better less obnoxious art app. If it still hasn’t changed and removed the ads soon this app will fail..Version: 24.4
✓ Worst app everIm lagging so much and I have a lot of storage, + the brushes aren’t working properly.Version: 25.1
✓ What?I had it for less than 5 minutes and it told I had to log in and then when I tried it wouldn’t work. Pls fix!.Version: 27.3
✓ Mostly awesome, mostlyI love this app. It gets a lot of use and does most of what I need or want for an art app. There are times I wish I could have a larger brush, especially when needing a shade for a background shadow thats perhaps half a screen in size, there may be a way to add the option but I havent found it yet. The only thing I really dont like is the autosave while actually drawing. So many occasions you are mid way through a line and the autosave kicks in and stops the line dead while it does its thing. It catches me out way too often. If it would wait until the stylus wasnt in contact with the screen it would be fine, but mid line? Annoying. Apart from that I love this package..Version: 22.0
✓ LayoutArt is very hard to make when you have an unappealing layout. The menu covers half the screen so I can only see part of my drawing. Take some tips from IbisPaintX? You could have a menu at the side or bottom that you could pull out or hide rather than two big boxes covering the screen. I love how you give all the brushes for free! Thanks! The menu is also hard to navigate and I couldn't find the rest of the brushes, or how to hide the menus. -Cloverleaf_.Version: 12.0.1
✓ How to import photos??Importing photos was a breeze a day ago until now it needs to access my album which doesn’t contain any of my photos! I take a picture of my traditional sketches before sending to MediBang and now it seems impossible to even access my sketches.... what happened...Version: 18.2
✓ AdsI used to hold such high praises for this app and recommend it to so many people over other apps. The pop up ads when exiting a canvas didn’t bother me at first but now they’ve placed ads on your canvas. That was the main thing I liked about this app and now they’ve taken it away. I’ve been uninvited MediBang for about three years now and I’m sad to say that because of this I wouldn’t recommend and suggest finding someplace new lest they remove this..Version: 24.3
✓ Amazing but…The app made it so easy to draw and I learned how to in a matter of days, however, I’m not saying that you need to delete ads, just monitor them more carefully as I stumbled across an image of my worse fear, momo. It wasn’t even a real ad? Excuse me?? Anyway, other than that the app is amazing and would recommend..Version: 26.2
✓ Sudden ShutdownsNormally I LOVE MediBang Paint, I’ve been using it for a while now and it’s always been amazing, not to mention it has so much to offer considering that it’s a free app. Unfortunately in these past few months the app has been glitching, causing me to lose my work. Without warning it closes and takes me back to the main screen and I lose all of the progress since my last save. This has happened several times and it is incredibly frustrating and upsetting to say the least. I wish I could give the app more stars, I genuinely love using it, but this glitch is absolutely awful and has me looking for new apps to use or not wanting to work on art all together..Version: 22.6
✓ I hate this- or is it just me and my crappy equipmentI tried to use it and I turned pen pressure on, as usual. Though after turning this on I was typical again and picked a pen and it's colour. This was all normal but the screen was sensing my pen and not making a line, I turned off pen pressure but nothing worked so to be honest, if it was or wasn't a glitch it is bad and I couldn't use it. I don't think I spent any money luckily but I am disappointed because this was in the best drawing apps recommendation videos way too many times. :( a bad app and I do not approve or like it and this is not recommended by me..Version: 23.0
✓ Going down hillI use to love this app, hell I don’t mind the constant adds. But it’s very buggy. The entire screen freezes when you try to zoom in for detail work. I constantly have to keep flipping my screen around from landscape to portrait to get it to revert back to normal size which is a lot of times. Please try and fix this in a future update..Version: 24.4
✓ It’s great but has some flawsSo I was trying to find a good app for my friend to be able to use to draw that was similar to Procreate and I tested out the most highly reviewed free apps this being one of them. But, whenever I was using it since I’m so used to zooming in whenever I used a kind of big brush the app would lag a significant amount. Maybe the lag may be an internet problem and not an app problem but if it is then i decided to speak about it. Another thing I dislike about the app is that the color wheel, brushes, and layers take up a lot of space and it’s understandable but it would be nice is they were just a tad bit smaller just so you could see a bit more of your canvas, and even though you can hide all the tabs it’s usually just more convenient to have them all open. Other than that MediBang is a pretty great app other than all that and the fact that is sort of disorganized but anyone should be able to get used to it! : ).Version: 17.3
✓ вылетела работаздравствуйте, я бы хотела пожаловаться на баг. когда я работала над рисунком,резервное копированием сработало, произошёл баг и все вылетело, а когда я хотела продолжить работу, ее уже не стало. я бы хотела чтоб вы исправили ошибку. заранее спасибо..Version: 25.2
✓ It is nice but there are issues and bugs.Pros: It is a very nice art app that allows large canvas sizes. This is good for me as I’ve recently gotten into Friday Night Funkin’ modding and the sprite sheets can be around 8192 x 4096. It is free. A lot of these apps are not. It works. Cons: It has a bug that entirely destroys your ability to draw until you completely close the app and open it again, refreshing it. Let’s set the scene: You start drawing and it is going well, your a bit zoomed in onto a certain point. You want to draw in another area so you zoom out. But, you can’t move or zoom out. You can still draw and go through menus so it isn’t frozen. You’re just stuck. TLDR: Keep getting stuck. Pls help. Also the grid is annoying and distracting. It would be nicer to have an option to remove it..Version: 24.4
✓ CrashingI love this app. Its my go to app on any device. But no matter the device I use, it crashes constantly. No matter the size of piece, tool I’m using, time I’ve been on, it crashed. I’m currently trying to finish my college project and I can’t because every time I get into it and open the file, it crashes. It crashes on every file, when I’m saving, when I’m working. I’ve updated to the latest version to see if that helped and it just made it worse. Seriously thinking if just ditching this app if it carries on. Can’t keep putting up with it crashing before I can save anything. Too much of a hassle. If you are easily annoyed, don’t use this app at all!.Version: 18.3
✓ This is getting frustratingI can’t even use zone or change brushes without the whole canvas freezing since the add on the top started appearing. It takes up three finger width wide on the top of my tablet. It is stupid and doesnt need to be there. When you remove the ad by reporting it the screen stays cut with the box. STILL THERE. please fix this problem..Version: 24.1
✓ TrashCrashes every 5 minutes on iPad 9th generation. Crashes also when uploading an image, fix your app it sucks..Version: 26.2
✓ It has issues.This has been my favourite program for the 3 years that i've had my iPad pro and pencil. That ad on the top was not a good move. You have plenty of ads throughout the app and It awkwardly squished the canvas and since that update I have not been able to zoom, or even move the canvas for that matter. This is making it very frustrating to work in it to the point that I don't even want to use it. I recommend coming out with a fix asap before you lose people wanting to use it..Version: 24.2
✓ I cant login into my account through facebookThe app stops me from login to my acc through facebook.Version: 24.4
✓ BruhRecently ads have been added to the drawing part of the screen cutting a good sized chunk out the available drawing space. Trying to zoom in and out of a drawing doesn’t work anymore either not even after restarting the app. This was one of the best free drawing apps I’ve used but now it’s really not that great anymore..Version: 24.1
✓ Has started to crash constantlyI had barely any problems with MediBang until recently, when halfway through some work it crashed. Then everytime I’ve opened the app since it crashes a few seconds after opening. I have restarted and tried again and again, I have never had enough time to export the piece I was working on. I believe this is due to iPad OS, which has also broken some of the UI. I used to love the program when on PC, yet the layout hasn’t been optimised for iPad use often making you have 2\3 of the screen covered by menus, even worse there are no customisable layout options..Version: 18.0
✓ Please fix this bug.I’ve been using medibang for well over 3 years now, havent been able to get used to any other drawing app however i keep having this reoccurring bug when my app just freezes and doesnt save any of my progress and crashes, and when i reopen it sends my art back by ages. please take a look at it lol.Version: 25.1
✓ Deletes artwork!I hate how you have to save otherwise it wont save itself, I forgot to save as I was tired and turned off my ipad, when I went on it again it had been deleted. Extremely annoying please fix this.Version: 26.5
✓ Bad advertisement update.I shouldn’t be forced to watch an ad before I even get to use the app Ive used for years now or open my gallery with my works on it, the closable popup ads were more than enough and mostly fair despite the other forced advertising upon trying to save and close your canvas. Now this is just ridiculous. Stop shoving unskipable ads onto people. Was planning on buying premium this Christmas as a treat and now I’ll be making sure to recommend that none of my friends using the app do the same as a result of this change. Total garbage 👎.Version: 27.3
✓ HelpI’m using a IPad 2 mini right now and let me tell you it doesn’t work at all! It’s probably because my IPad is too old and I should’ve just bought a new one but everytime when I open this app it made me go back to the home screen over and over again until I eventually give up. I still have hope for this app because I use it on my laptop and it works perfectly but please can you do something so older IPad users can use your app as well..Version: 27.4
✓ Getting startedAs a newcomer to this app after experience with ArtRage on an iPad and an iMac and with Coral Painter Lite on my iMac, I found it difficult, and lack of a mixer palette on its own unsatisfactory. Maybe All of this can be overcome maybe. It is clear that a person experienced with other more complex software such as Krista , Pixelator or Adobe would find it easy. A simple start up process shown in a training video would be very useful to a beginner. I can see that the app is very good.......when you know how to use it. John Hunter.Version: 19.0
✓ Regarding the new update - September 2021Remove the Ad space at the top of the User Interface/Head-Up Display when drawing. I’d be happy to pay a small amount to remove the ads. The brushes and everything else is great, but the fact that the removal of ads is now a “Premium” feature is outright disgusting..Version: 24.1
✓ MediBang since 18th Sep ‘21My absolute favourite drawing and art app; everything I’ve ever digitalised was made on this. …but now I’ve noticed this big banner that stays permanently over the top of your screen. It’s an ad banner that you can’t make go away; and it squishes your workspace. You can’t use the full screen to draw anymore, and the effect is more profound than you’d expect from looking. It’s uncomfortable now that I don’t have the same space; the ads were totally bearable up to now..Version: 24.3
✓ I lost a whole piece of workMediBangPaint is an okay app, the brushes are different but also kind of similar to other brushes. Last week I was working on a piece of art and left or for a little while, and when I came back the piece was gonna and there was no way to get it back, as it had been completely wiped from everywhere it would save to. I don’t know what happened but the app wiped away a piece of art..Version: 15.1
✓ Intrusive banner ads, and the premium service.The ads have become insufferable. This wouldn't be that much of an issue if there were an option for a one time payment to remove ads, but there isn't. Not anymore. The only way to do so is through the subscription service, which offers cloud storage that I don't care much for. The most frustrating thing is that there used to be that one time payment option before this service was introduced, but now its no longer available for purchase. These are just scummy business tactics. If you're already in the market for an iPad art software, just get Procreate or Clip Studio. Procreate is $10, and it has a really good brush system, as well as just being overall solid and easy to use. Unfortunately some useful filter and selection related features that can be found in Medibang wont be found in procreate. Overall its somewhat simple, but it feels nice to use. If you would prefer more options with things like layer filters, or just like having more buttons to press, then i would recommend CSP. Frustratingly unlike its desktop version, the version on iPad isn't a one time purchase, rather it's subscription based at $5/monthy, or $24/yearly. Still despite the cost, with either of those you would be getting a much better art software than if you payed for removing ads in Medibang. The main appeal of Medibang in my opinion is that it's free..Version: 24.5
✓ Not happy with the ads at allA few month ago medibang didn't even have ads but how half of the screen is taken up by ads and you can't get rid of them only by getting the premium and there's two months free but after that there's still gonna be ads.Version: 24.4
✓ OkayishThis app is brilliant for drawing but I have one issue. Sometimes I will come back to my drawing to find it is glitching terribly and it has completely ruined multiple artworks I have spent quite some time working on. I hope this issue can be patched but otherwise I really enjoy this app and would love to give it five stars. Thanks..Version: 24.5
✓ Good but one problem...I lost all of my artwork after this update, and when I try to sign up or log in it’s saying my email isn’t good? And it’s saying my password is invalid. I cannot believe all my artwork has disappeared. U need to give me my artwork back..Version: 27.4
✓ Please fix your app.I’ve used Medibang for 4 years and had no problem until the recent update with the ad above while you draw. You shrinked the display of the canvas just for an extra ad and it’s annoying. You already play an ad after I close the canvas, so why do you need another one. I also got my Apple Pencil for Christmas and for some reason whenever I use it, it won’t let me zoom in or out. It works fine for the first few strokes, but then everything just messes up. I still want to use Medibang paint, but now you just ruined your app and won’t even take people’s suggestions into consideration. I hope this changes. It was fun while it lasted. Update: the Apple Pencil thing is fixed, but now it keeps crashing. When I recover the drawing, all the previous details I added are gone and I have to do it over again. FIX YOUR APP. Seriously. It’s probably the stupid ad making things lag and freeze out of nowhere. You can do better..Version: 25.1
✓ Ad broke canvasEven if the ad isn’t there, there’s a big spot at the top of the canvas that totally breaks everything. This is super frustrating and this was my favourite drawing app so this is super disappointing..Version: 24.1
✓ Very unhappyI just spent the past 4 hours working on an art piece. I go to save it, and MediBang closes the work and doesn’t give it back. So basically, I spent four hours on Christmas Eve drawing, and MediBang deletes it all. Thanks a lot. Greatest Christmas present ever. I am done with this app. It’s glitchy, lowers quality of everything, and there are ads everywhere..Version: 26.1
✓ It’s pretty goodBut as the time of writing this. The new update annoys me a lot. It now has a ad that I can’t close at the top when I draw and the program would stop registering double finger functions. I hope these will be changed.Version: 24.2
✓ It deleted two or three years worth of art on meIt was an amazing app, but out of nowhere suddenly, my gallery of saved art was just gone, completely, without a trace, I’m furious.Version: 26.8
✓ Nice but buggyIt’s overall a nice app for digital illustration, but there are times when I could not draw at all when “opacity by pressure” and/or “size by pressure” is on... this issue bothers me quite a bit because I have to restart my device every single time in order to be able to draw with the two functions on.....Version: 22.6
✓ 맨날 저장안됨6년째쓰는중 열심히그린거 몇번 날려먹음 ;; 백업이의미가없어요 취미 드로잉 온라인강의 강사라 학생들한테 어플 쓰라고 안내해주는데 민망 하네요. 프로크리에이트로 바꿔야겠다 ...Version: 26.0
✓ My favourite mobile art program has been ruinedThe ad on top of the screen was a terrible move. I’d be happy to pay a one time fee to get rid of ads, but forcing a monthly subscription or an ad that covers 1/5 of the work area is a terrible decision and immediately makes the program a nuance to use or a rather large fee for a once completely free app. If you want to put annoying ads, make it easy to get rid of them. ($5-$10 one time charge). Otherwise, get rid of the ad on top of the workspace and put it somewhere else..Version: 24.3
✓ Generally disappointedI’ve been using MediBang paint since around 2014, it’s been the program that led me through a massive chunk of my art journey. I always loved using it because it was free. That’s the reason I kept using it through all this time. And then, one day, ads started popping up. So many that it was frustrating just scrolling through my own gallery. Also, the features that were entirely free to use on my laptop were not available without paying money. It got so bad one day that I decided to buy the creative pack, under the impression that it would unlock everything in the app. After paying, my assumption turned into a big nope! If you want to use filters, you have to pay more money. I know that an app needs money to keep running, and I was able to ignore all of the problems in the software until I was shown just how greedy medibang is lately. I doubt it will get any better though. I recommend ibis paint or procreate; at least you don’t have to pay multiple times to have a functional art software..Version: 22.4
✓ Ad UpdateThe big ad at the top covering the screen when I draw was not a good move. The app is already riddled with ads throughout. Please remove the top ad when you go in to draw; it is unnecessary and super distracting!.Version: 24.1
✓ My honest review.I’ve loved doing art since I could remember so about 2 months ago I decided to challenge my self by doing digital art too! I downloaded the app and personally I skipped the tutorial (I shouldn’t have) because this is a hard app to use tbh. It took some time learning how to use and I still don’t know how to do some things but except for that pretty good! But you may be wondering why did I rate this a 3? Well my friend, trust me on this- there are many better apps you can use! So click off this Wright know! And go find yo self something better! - random person you found.Version: 24.4
✓ Too many adsNot worth it, this app has become basically unusable. There used to never be this many ads, now there are large ads even on the main drawing interface which are way too easy to bump and open, which seem to be deliberately placed for that purpose. In between saving, going through your gallery or opening a new canvas are non skippable video ads, it is really off putting, especially when this app never used to be like this. Stick with Medibang Pro on desktop guys, sadly this once fantastic app has become unusable. :(.Version: 24.5
✓ Awful. Don’t recommendHave you ever thought, “well, that was hours of my life that I’ll never get back”? Because that’s exactly what I thought after trying to use this app. It took me at LEAST an hour to draw an artwork that I was proud of. I was happy with it. I exited out of the app. I did something else. I went back and decided to make a new artwork and sketch. I did so. I was so proud and happy with it. I exited the app and did something else. Since the sketch wasn’t quite finished, I decided to go back and finish it. Until I realized I couldn’t, because it wasn’t there. In fact, the first drawing I did wasn’t there either. Neither of them had saved. Normally, drawing apps save artworks automatically. But apparently this one, even through the annoying tutorial wouldn’t leave me alone, didn’t say that you needed to press “save” before exiting the app because otherwise it wouldn’t save at all. I’m extremely frustrated and disappointed. Plus, it tries so hard to push you into getting “premium” while being unconvincing as to why I should even keep the app..Version: 26.2
✓ Crashes frequentlyThe new ads that are videos cause the app to crash every time and it’s getting rather annoying :(.Version: 16.1
