It may not have everything Adobe Illustrator has, but it works just as well if Adobe accepts illustration and other designs made with this App. I found it looking for an alternative version of Adobe illustrator and only had to pay for it once seven years ago. I have used this app on iPhone, iPad and Windows since 2015 and it's great for creating mobile app designs, website assets, craft files and other illustrations requiring simple tools and uses mathematical algorithms rather than a lot of fluff. Seems like a tiny bit of effort on Autodesk’s part could really improve this app, but for whatever reason it they haven’t focused on improving it. Examples online from other users are very difficult to find, probably because no one knows how to write them without any documentation. The ability to easily select objects, get the index of shapes, draw circles, use tools like divide, subtract, intersect - none of these things seem possible or the API documentation doesn't tell you how to perform these actions. Even throwing aside JavaScript (because there is no documentation on how to call those methods), writing plugins in Objective-C results in constant crashing of the program and little or no ability to troubleshoot the issues. For example they say that the plugin’s can be written in Objective-C or JavaScript, but they only provide examples of Objective C. The documentation for writing extensions is basically non-existent and it seems extremely buggy. While I initially really liked this app and what it can do, it starts to disappoint as you try to extend it’s features by writing custom plugins to automate repetitious tasks. I just that the description was a little misleading and without a trial i feel like i got duped. However, if you are starting from scratch and love objects this will probably work for you. I used to use Paint Shop Pro on the PC from corel - It is the best tool for the price I think on the market this doesn’t even come close. You have to manipulate everything in in an object and the tool treats everything in the object the same unless you set it up with the tool itself. There’s also no way to cut portions of an image and move it around. In grapics tools I have used I could fill based on a color and have it stop filling when it reached a border of another color - can’t do that here. So you can change everyting in a given image but you can cut it out or change a portion without using a brush pixel by pixel. You have to create objects and maniputlate each object. there is also no feature to cut a portion of an exisiting image. For example, if you have a multicolor image and want to change one color to another you can’t do that. there is no way to manipulate an existing image. I think this would be good if you are creating a logo and like to use vector graphics. I completely agree with another reviewer who said this app should be renamed “Garbage”!!! It’s created many migraines and not a great project. If you want to deal with constant glitching then great, get the app! It will probs make you very frustrated and disappointed like me though. Overall, I am very disappointed with this app and WOULD NOT recommend buying it. I have tried updating the app and that didn’t make an improvement either. After every paint brush or pencil move, you also have to go and click the little mouse button otherwise it will glitch out and you can’t even use the brush or pen for like 10 minutes. You “color” or “trace” in one area and the actual mark is on the other side of the page. The paint brush tool and the pencil tool are terrible. I tried multiple times to restart both the app and my Pc and neither helped the glitching. It was very easy to use and my logo turned out great! When I got to the portion where I had to make the magazine cover, it all went downhill. I was really impressed with the app in the beginning stages of my project when I made my logo. I had to design a magazine cover and make a logo. I got this application to make a marketing project. I’d pay more than that for a an icon package. Finally, $29? Seriously, you can’t beat the price especially given that the authors continue to improve and upgrade this. This tool has become one of my key go-to tools for app development right next to Xcode. Back to my earlier comment about using a tool for a week and then never again… I’ve been using Graphic now for about a year. If you are a programmer who wants to create icons for your apps or an artist who wants to do something more involved, this tool will deliver. What’s more important is that you don’t need a PhD in graphics design to use this tool. It is relatively intuitive to use and packed with features. Either they are overly complex or they just don’t do what I need them to do. I’ve purchased “many” graphics tools over the years and most of the time they get used for about a week then never again. This is an excellent tool for vector graphics.
