Could be a bit better by adding the symmetry ruler to Simple Mode (if it's there then I really cannot see) and maybe also have less time lapses? A really annoying bug is that if I was idle for too long in a project(though at this point it just does this because I'm using too many tools), it would make it so I couldn't edit my work anymore. I had to restart an animation THREE TIMES because of this. Aside from that, great app for drawing. Also, my phone is a Google Pixel 6a, if this happens again.

We will consider supporting "Simple mode target ruler" and "Shorter time lapse" in the future. We will also continue to work on improving the app's performance. Please check "Help" > "Ask chatbot" > "I have problems with the app's behavior" > "The app freezes". If the problem persists, feel free to contact to Support Team from "Help" > "Contact".

love this for art, havent purchased a subscription but i feel like the 30 hours a month is reasonable. great brush variation, texture selection, etc. HOWEVER, i spent 15 minutes looking for a way to import images off my phone or some form of reference window, with no luck. not a horrible drawback, but i have a hard time imagining images, so references are usually a necessity for me. granted, i might have missed it, but regardless it is almost unusable for me. great app if youre okay with that.

Thank you for your trial and review. We're enhancing app usability, including image importing. Currently, you can import images via the "Import" or "Import from device storage" at the bottom of the Sub View Palette. For more basic operation info, go to Clip Studio Tips from Clip Studio Start > Help > Basic Tips. Feel free to use these resources.

It constantly crashes despite being a subscription based app. Half the time it doesn't even let me import pngs, the other half of the time it's a gamble of either actually working, or saying that it no longer supports png files in a "unsupported file format" message. It'll crash in the middle of drawing, so if you dont hit save every 20 seconds you might just loose all your progress. I'm currently looking for another drawing app that works on my tablet so I can switch from this one. Horrid app.

If the file extension and the actual file format are different, it may not load properly. Please try saving your work in PNG format in another app and then reloading it in Clip Studio Paint. Please also check the "Help" in the top right of the Clip Studio Start > "Ask chatbot" > "I have problems with the app's behavior" > "The app crashes".
