Pros and cons of SketchTime - Quick Sketching & Photo Tracing app for iPhone and iPad

SketchTime - Quick Sketching & Photo Tracing app good for

I really like the app, but now I cant save to photos. How about layers in a future update?

Excellent job, but here is a suggestion to get a 5th star You thought about the possibility to " replay " the sketch. Thats what Im looking for. Could it be possible to select the speed of the replay? And the possibility to save it as a video would be a dream. Anyway, thanks already.

especially nice is the replay video function, for an update i would love to save the video :) schönes app! lohnt sich.

I have tried some apps but I really like this one, no 1000 brushes, just 2 they work good and its fun to work with. The export with transparent background is nice, high resolution is also good. What I really miss is layers. Would be a huge plus and the colors wouldnt fade the black stroke been on it but then behind it. That with more colors to choose from or a normal color palette and this little app would be nearly perfect.

I have always enjoyed sketching and have,for the past few years,enjoyed keeping a travel journal while on vacation or camping etc. This app has given me a new and easy way to create fast sketches or more detailed "doodles". I bought this app today, which took seconds to download, and within minutes I was used to the tools and interface and creating art. Inexpensive, easy to use,impressive results some of which I emailed within seconds of finishing! I definitely want to join the flicker group and share some sketches. Well done on a job well done.

Ive tried them all. This one has all the qualities I was looking for in a drawing app. My new favourite.

Some bad moments

It always shut down at just touching saving icon. Fix it, please.

The app itself isnt horrible, but I spent time tracing out a picture and then I went to save and the app crashes and closes out. I deleted the app, causing me to lose my work, and reinstalled it hoping it was just a glitch and would fix on reinstallation...it doesnt! The app is pointless to me if I cant save my work to my pictures. Fix this and Ill gladly re-write a 5 star review!

Im angered because I spent $1.99 on this app, and now every time that I try to save my sketches, it crashes. Also, apparently since the last update was a WHILE ago, it doesnt seem like the developers are gonna do anything about it coming up anytime soon. Ugh.

This was absolutely essential to me, until the most recent ios update (at a guess, as nothing else has changed on my end) which has made the app crash each time I attempt to save a picture, rendering the entire app utterly useless. A fix would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem as others. When I attempt to save a drawing by touching the share icon the program crashes. It didnt happen before. Please provide an update correcting this problem.

But in a world with full of painting apps I think this one could benefit from some additional brushes.
