Comments on ArtFlow: Paint Draw Sketchbook for Android
★★★★★Mr. Lawless· Feb 22, 2026
Has all the art tools you could want and no AI. This is for old school artist. The ones that use skills instead of prompts.
★★★★★Ninja Boy Channel· Mar 1, 2025
Can you make an animation on this app? I'm a procreated user now I switch to this app I love this. Everything is almost complete except one thing. Animations I used almost all drawing apps. This still the best for me art flow. Feel like procreate. While this is much more convenient to use.
★★★★★Vagif VALIYEV· Jan 29, 2026
Please continue development. I'd buy it again if it was required for the newer versions. The only missing features for me are texts and non-destructive adjustment layers. All the other mobile drawing apps' uis suck, somehow you've just nailed it
★☆☆☆☆Carter· Oct 8, 2025
No substantial updates in what? Over 10 years? Now you have to pay to add more layers? You are scumbags. I've been using and recommending this app for years. Uninstalling with no hesitation now.
★☆☆☆☆Kia Kamill· Aug 4, 2026
I downloaded art flow to a new phone, and it's saying I don't have the extra stuff I paid for on my old phone o.o, what do I do? Do I have to buy it all over again or is it set up to the email I bought it on? Or what? I would like to continue to use this app, but I don't want to buy the extra stuff all over again.
★☆☆☆☆Sew Geek Girl· Sep 28, 2025
Loved this app for years until a paywall was added for basic tools I used free since the beginning. Really sad they got greedy. I'll be going back to doing physical art and skip the hassle.
★☆☆☆☆R B· Mar 30, 2026
This is a drawing app and the UNDO BUTTON is paywalled? Don't even try to mark this as a free app, it's a bald-faced lie.
