If you're an artist or just someone who loves doodling on your phone, ibis Paint is one of those apps you'll want to keep handy. It's packed with features that make digital art feel intuitive, whether you're sketching casually or working on a detailed illustration. The interface is clean but powerful—no overwhelming clutter, just the tools you need right where you expect them.

What really stands out is how close it gets to mimicking real-world art supplies. The brush engine is fantastic, with options to tweak everything from texture to opacity, giving your strokes a natural feel. There’s even a stabilizer for shaky lines (a lifesaver if you’re drawing on a bumpy bus ride). Layer support? Absolutely—and with blending modes to boot. It’s like having a mini Photoshop in your pocket.

The time-lapse playback feature is a neat touch, letting you replay your entire drawing process. Great for sharing progress or just admiring your own workflow. And if you’re stuck for ideas, the app’s community aspect lets you browse others’ creations or join drawing challenges.

Sure, the free version has ads and some locked tools, but the one-time purchase to unlock everything feels fair for what you get. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned artist, ibis Paint strikes that sweet spot between simplicity and depth—definitely worth a download.
