Comments on Clip Studio Paint for Android

★★★★★ Brittany Otto · Oct 12, 2026
I love this app! The programmers have responded to my concerns and have fixed my issues in a timely manner and with such patience. I honestly still wish that there is a perpetual license for this app instead of paying every year/month, but I will never go back to Krita or Paint tool SAI ever again. XD
★★★★★ Jayden Bakare · Sep 19, 2026
I used Ibis Paint X for a while, saw that a well known artist that I admire used this, and decided to check it out. Safe to say that it's a huge improvement. You're presented with WAY more options, and drawing feels way smoother. Definitely recommend this 👍
★★★★☆ Celina Jaye Gomez · Oct 26, 2026
Hmm good, but it needs some premium:) I wish clip studio paint can be used without purchasing anything.🩷
★☆☆☆☆ SmartMars603 · Oct 31, 2026
APP IS NOT FREE TO USE! They require you to pay for a subscription to use their service. I was expecting to be able to simply use the app after installing, but NO! They want me to shell out money for something I don't know is even good.
★☆☆☆☆ Ryan · Oct 5, 2026
I love CSP on PC, but mobile is an absolute scam. You buy the smartphone plan, and you can't use it with a drawing tablet (which they don't tell you until after buying despite the smartphone plan being the plan they suggest even when you're already using a drawing tablet), but you also can't purchase a perpetual license like on PC. I would have gladly bought a second perpetual license for a second device, but I am not paying $100 a year for the same program I bought permanently on my PC.
