About this app

Pocket Paint is a drawing app that allows you to edit graphics, images, and photos, make parts transparent, zoom in up to single pixel level, and much more! Together with Catrobat’s app Pocket Code it also allows you to easily create animations, apps, and games directly on your smartphone!

Images are saved under Photos and Gallery.

Features:
-- Save images as .jpg (compressed), .png (lossless, with transparency), or .ora (keeping layer information)
-- Layers (including moving up and down or merging them)
-- Stickers from the Catrobat family images and more (only for this it accesses the internet)
-- Tools: brush, pipette, stamp, circle/ellipse, cropping, flipping, zooming, line tool, cursor, fill tool, rectangle, eraser, moving, rotation and much more!
-- Easy import of images and graphics
-- Full screen drawing
-- Color palette or RGBa values

Been on app for 30 minutes, has everything I wanted, something similar to ms paint, without extras and integrations. So far so good, although I need to check in the settings more, hopefully there is an option to alter the gui aesthetic. Overall, easy to use, layers, multiple file formats, at free and no adds. May well have a permanent spot on my Galaxy. I'll edit if something changes, good, bad or otherwise.

Good, simple art app that has pretty much all the fixings ! One complaint is selecting for copy/paste and changing the canvas size is a bit restricted. Other than that works pretty darn well so far. Encountering another minor issue; the advanced settings, as well as any of my brush settings, reset whenever I reopen the app. The image seems to save fine, but having to re-toggle things everytime is a bit irksome.

Worked great for a while, maybe 10+ seperate uses before it started crashing. Used it off and on for the majority of the day today. Out of nowhere the app crashed and would not open, I cleared the cache, restarted my phone, verified app was up to date and still no luck. I was in the middle of touching up a photo and no may have to restart the whole process.
