I don't like this new layout at all not only have I had to upgrade my phone to continue using the app but now it appears to have changed completely, some of the brushes are now unusable as well which is annoying as they were simple yet very effective brushes for my style of art. I'm also facing issues with the cloud as its only allowed me to transfer one of my old files over, Very disappointed.

This is the best drawing app, nothing else comes close. I love it and use it every day, it's perfect. The reason I can't give it 5 stars is because Celsys forces us to pay a monthly subscription for the tablet version, no perpetual license. And that's something I find very annoying and disappointing from this company. I try to get away from all subscription based creative software and then CSP got me hooked...
