Comments on Sketch Notes for Android

★★★★★ Britton Redline · Apr 13, 2021

It's so nice to write my notes out by hand. BUT, on my phone, when I'm writing a note, if I write a letter that has a line coming from near the edge of my STUPID phone's screen, the app will Close the note, and no matter what I do, the note is deleted!! This REALLY needs to be fixed!!!

Sketch notes Sketch your notes ! Does what it says with just what you need. No ad, no blabla. Cool.

★★★★☆ Alix · May 31, 2021

It's nice and simple, wish there was a zoom feature and an undo feature, but it's good! Not quite what I'm looking for though

★★★★☆ statorworks 345 · May 16, 2019

Very nice! But please make it, so you can quickly swipe pages with your finger. Also, the filtered tracking of the finger when drawing is almost a second behind and doesn't let you draw with detail.

★☆☆☆☆ Stephanie Genaro · Aug 2, 2019

Not so good, you can downloaded if you are new at drawing but not me. Just one first try I didn't like it.

★☆☆☆☆ Klaus-Udo Kloppstedt · Aug 13, 2020

Awful user interface to the point of usability.

★★☆☆☆ Hasan Mir · Apr 11, 2020

It needs an option to turn the page background color to black. Until then, I will have to keep looking for another sketch application that allows me to do that.

★★☆☆☆ FNAF FANATIC 27 · Jul 17, 2019

Not very good quality It was harder to use than most apps I've had in the past. It didn't have many colors or drawing Utensils than the others did, and I was not able to zoom in or out of the screen.

★★☆☆☆ Michael Rubin · Jan 15, 2017

Too simple ole True no ads. But really it lacks controls for pen/pencil widths and no color mixing and selection is limited. What a pity.
