it's great but I hate how it's stuck behind a pay wall. In my opinion it's a great option to choose if you're willingly to pay and are more interested or invested into art. But if you're looking for one what's both good and free there are other options like ibis paint. Now I won't buy the subscription even though I'm invested into art I'm more cautious with subscription but i did download it to test it out and holy the app was easy to get a grip on even though it's my first time using it.

Constant workflow interruptions when changing windows because of always-online, anti-piracy nonsense. Constantly forces new features in updates which uselessly change icons, positions, and features, and interrupt your user habits (thus adding more time and frustration to your process.) The system of "buying" new pens (etc.) is labrynthine, hard to navigate, and then impossible to install. I use this garbage but I'm not happy about it.
