This is one of the best apps out there. The form factor where it should be used is a Tablet and a very good stylus (iPad and Apple Pencil 2 is ideal) Some people have given low ratings for 'not having more colors.' This app is for Japanese (East Asian) calligraphy which uses only a brush, paper and black ink (red ink is used for corrections). What you are using is the full app; the small screens, poor styluses of Android are the issues, and of course, a lack of understanding of the app

Though ît has definite limitations, and there is Zen Brush 3, I just feel compelled to shout out this app. It's really, really good at what it does. I've made some quite lovely art with it, and remain quite smitten. Though I must admit that I'm also very curious about the missing Zen Brush 2 app? ,,,, More brushes and paper would be A+ ! But a solid, fun art application!!

Was going to rate low, but tried it & honestly can not rate lower than 3 or 4*. If you have the money, this app looks worth it! Beautiful strokes! Perfect for calligraphy & ink painting, especially kanji & sumi-e, they even have the washi paper +others to go with it! Major problem though are the watermarks, no undo & virtually everything behind a pay wall. If you already have ads, allow for more to be utilized by free users. Also allow for red +others, as it would go wonderfully with the black.

In 2012, I paid twice to get Pro version (Samsung store receipts are proofs) in 2022 now I still get asked to purchase Pro ? Seriously.... Post update of my Note II from 4.1.2 to 4.3 since yesterday keeps asking me to purchase for Pro version. Whereas I purchased when my N7100 was launched with 4.1.1 out of the box

This is a good app, BUT if you like it, DON'T UPGRADE. I am pretty pissed off to find out, 10 minutes after upgrading, that I could have simply bought Zen Brush 3 for a couple of dollars more instead, and would have if I was offered the option when I clicked on Upgrade in the first place.

I have to upgrade to full version to get undo and redo. It's expensive I can't afford it

Rubbish, paid and nothing different, all geared toward IOS which considering it is coming through as a Samsung s pen app is just plain wrong. No colors, only shades of black and some templates.

Undo button is locked behind a paywall. Yeah no, thanks. Fairly good-looking recreation of sumi-e, but that is just greed beyond the pale. Could get comparable from Median Paint and more for free.
