   PaintTool SAI vs ibis Paint X Comments

   Positive comment by Guest · May 30, 2018

   It has good brushes, including the color blending, and ibis paint x needs to be a desktop software also!

   Positive comment by Guest · Oct 18, 2018

   A very good app that has just enough features for almost any artists to enjoy. It has layers, some really good brush settings, and the color tool is pretty nice. Probably one of the best to use instead of Ibis Paint. Although, it does costs a lot of money, but it's ends up being worth it.

   Positive comment by Guest · Jun 25, 2017

   I've never used it, but I've seen lots of people use it and it looks very simple and similar to Microsoft Paint, but it's a very good app!

    Easy to use and its not very confusing.

    Top Negative Comment by Guest · Jul 3, 2016

    IbisPaint X is easier to get used to and provides more functions such as layers, and Autodesk Sketchbook is just uncomfortable and doesn't provide as much functions as a person such as me would prefer.

    Microsoft Paint vs ibis Paint X Comments

    Top Positive Comment by Guest · Oct 18, 2018

    It may be basic, but as long as you know what your doing and how to use it, it's a pretty good app that actually gets the job done. You'll have to struggle a little bit without layers, but that's not too much of a problem as long as you have a lot of patience. Not the best, but it's always there if the other apps aren't working.

    Top Negative Comment by Guest · Apr 24, 2018

    It doesn't have nearly as many options. No layers, no stabilization, no gradient options. Incredibly hard to use- but Ibis Paint has all of those options. I don't see how you think that MS Paint is the same or somewhere near the same as Ibis Paint.

    It's Amazing u seen people use this paint before. Also. u can cut copy. and paste

    It is awesome all the stuff you can use is amazing and th way you can blend; just awesome! Perfct for those anime lovers ;)

    Negative comment by Guest · Jul 2, 2020

    It's not horrible per-sae but it's way too different from IbisPaint. Medibang is a relatively frustrating program if you use if for photo editing or want ANYTHING to do with symmetry. It's interface for desktop is confusing and don't even get me started on the fact that it's line correction is garbage. However, it's not the absolute worst and is preferable compared to programs such as Microsoft paint
