Not a fanHonestly it is so confusing I think they should make it more clear and, without paying it SUCKS!

Forcing me to do everythingREMOVE THE SIGN IN, I CANT EVEN DRAW BECAUSE I HAD TO SIGN IN. MY MOM WAS NOT WELL AND I THOUGHT I HAD TO USE THE GOOGLE ACCONT? NO! I HAD TO USE MY EMAIL AND NAME, I DID BOTH MY MOM AND MY NAME BUT IT WASN’T WORKING. I HATE YOU CLIP STUDIO PAINT.

Subscription BasedI was incredibly excited to try this app because it looks amazing but its entirely subscription based. I couldn't even get to a canvas without a subscription.
