Comments on Canvas for Android

★★★★★ A smudge tool that works.! As of Aug 2015, this apps works nicely. Of course you'll have to pay for more advanced options, but the smudge tool is free.
★★★★★ Best Mobile Paint App Yet! First of all, mine has not frozen, shut down or forced closed. There was even apparetly issues with this program running on Honeycomb. My tablet is an android that runs on Honeycomb and not one problem. As an amatuer artist, I was looking for an app with all the bells and whistles that was easy to use, preferrably something close to adobe photoshop, but all these other apps I found were only image editors, or if there were brushes coulkd not import the images to edit. This app works just like adobe photoshop. I was able to import an image that I had drawn to start working on darkening the line art. This is the lite version so only two layers can be used, anymore and you have to buy the full version. The only reason why I don't have it already is due that I'm going to purchase a prepaid card. What makes this even better is how much the app creator cares about the creation. I emailed a comment got a reply back in less than 24 hours. Then I had a question, because I wasn't saving and opening the layers correctly. That was quickly fixed through another E-mail.
★★☆☆☆ Limited canvas size I was excited about this app, not so much for drawing work but for the very good dodge and burn tools to use in photo editing. Unfortunately there seems to be a canvas size limit of your screen resolution (in my case 1600 X 2560, pretty high res but not high enough to import 12MP photos). When importing photos they are therefore cropped. Furthermore, the app does not rotate so you seem to be in forced portrait layout all the time (which means that landscape photos are even more cropped, unless I rotate them to portrait in another app first). I'm running 3 gb of ram and 1.9Ghz quad core on my tablet, so it can easily cope with higher resolution canvasses, please consider changing this?
★★☆☆☆ Crash prone Unable to use. As soon as I try to save the app crashes.
★★☆☆☆ Looks Dated...... The application looks a little dated when compared with SBM & PS Touch. Also, why include the brushes in the lite version when using can't use them, and frustrating!
