Amazing! would recomend, but some disqualifacations

I love this app. This was the first non-free art app I got on my surface pro. I am very impressed and I would recomend. Everything is very easily accessible. Just a couple things I would suggest, are that it should have more brush tips, being able to add text, a setting for line work in the layers so the opacity of the sketch is lighter, a tool to resize aspects, and being able to zoom out less than 50. Other than that, 10/10 program!

You have eclipsed your deadline. (EDIT)

I would love this app more if we could finally get custom brushes. Procrate has so many options to chose from and has the ability to import Photoshop brushes. Please fix the severely limited undo as well as the glitchy smudge tool. EDIT: With the discovery of CLIP STUDIO PAINT PRO I really regret supporting this app. If you look back, this dev has been promising custom brushes for a considerable amount of time, with no progress to show for it. Given the stay at home orders various parts of the world has been under for months now, one would think he would have time enough to finish his long over due promises. Needless to say if you're looking for quality professional art tools look elsewhere.

Review title of PeterFast and super intuitive

I've struggled to use other drawing apps, but with this one everything just clicked on first try. Super impressed by how thoughtful and intuitive the interface is. Everything is incredibly snappy too, even on my 4 year old surface. Big thanks to the developer for creating this. Amazing piece of software.

Review title of ShirleyAmazing for Surfaces, $40 is a steal after Trial

This program feels smooth, intuitive, and obviously made for Surfaces from the ground up. I've shown it to two other artists who immediately fell as much in love with it as I have. I went from Photoshop and a Wacom tablet to using only my Surface. The pencil brush is amazing and I'm very excited to see what this product looks like when it is finished. The Ruler and Smoothing is amazing.

Review title of JevonI came from Procreate and am never going back

Okay let me explain, as of right now the best drawing experience I've ever felt has been with this app. Previously I used Procreate on my iPad Pro, and have begun to use Adobe Fresco on both my Surface Book and iPad Pro. Now this app at this time is not as fully featured as the aforementioned but the feeling you get drawing with this app is unmatched by the rest. The app is really fast, responsive and just an overall pleasure to use. I recommend it to anyone who loves drawing and is on their digital art journey.

Review title of ZaneExcellent Drawing App

Although Leonardo has all the features you would expect from a "Drawing App", I use this more for drawing up ideas and prototypes for various projects, and it does really well for that purpose. Lots of pens / brushes, selectable layers, shape tools, and grid background makes this perfect for my needs. Highly recommended.

Review title of LaurenIntuitive design with no major issues! A+++!!

I'm amazed by this app - and so happy that a PC competitor to Procreate finally exists! This app is smooth, responsive, and all around flawless. I only wish that we could save and share custom brush styles, as well as allow for custom palettes so we can save our commonly used swatches :)

Review title of ssǝʃʍɐʃℲǝqnↃssǝʃʍɐʃℲǝqnↃssǝʃʍɐʃℲǝqnↃssǝʃʍɐʃℲǝqnↃssǝʃʍɐʃℲGood drawing software but. . .

My main problem with Leonardo is that the mouse/pen cursor is invisible on the canvas. The only way for me to make the cursor visible on the canvas is to increase the size of the cursor to around 120+ px or zoom in on the cursor. This might not effect people with a monitor on their graphic tablets but, it is frustrating for those people that don't.

Xade Software AB responded on 1/22/2020

The problem with the disappearing cursor was triggered by the latest Windows 10 Update. We are really sorry about that. It's fixed in the latest version (0.16.58).
