Pros and cons of Sketches 2 app for iPhone and iPad

Sketches 2 app good for

This is one of my favourite apps. Makes it really easy to snap a photo and add a quick word bubble or mustache to someone, or to circle, highlight, or point out a detail before sending it off to Twitter. Great stamps and a really slick interface make this one worth the price. A word of warning though: as soon as you delete a photo or undo an edit there is no way to recover it, and there is no warning before its scrapped.

Con: -Price is a little steep. -Those who bought Sketches (1) have to pay full price for this one. Pros: -By far the best drawing/sketching/painting app in the AppStore. -UI is *very* polished and Apple-esque. -Controls are fantastic -Features like maps integration are pretty neat. -iPad AND iPhone version in the same App. -Bug-free, fast loading etc. If youre looking for an app of this genre, this is it. EDIT: You know, it really would be nice if you could send picture directly to MMS (instead of saving photo to photo album, then sending it in the message.app)

JeezuS! Im the 2nd to last AAAND the last guy to drop a review. How about an update guys. CmOOOOOON!!!!!

Some bad moments

I just hit the Undo button a few too many times and have erased a few frames of the tutorial. Why cant have you have the thumbtack give the option to either "save as is" or "revert to original"... Even your most esteemed competition which issues a FREE app has that feature. Plus I bought both versions of Sketches, am a little disappointed at the price point... Should be an upgrade instead of a whole new app, WITH A PRICE THAT REFLECTS THAT! Version one of Sketches is getting flushed off of my iPhone.

I have now both sketches and Sketches 2, & use both daily. I love this new app because its got a lot more features than the original one, & still really simple and easy to use. Its great to add little texts and captions to my pictures. I definitely recommend this app and have been to all my friends! Two thumbs way up!! 

This is really Sketches 1.1. It has the same boring icons, no new categories worth using. They removed the resize button and the bottom menu screen stays open obstructing the photo when applying a prop such as a party hat, basketball, or t-shirt. The resizing with 2 fingers is pointless, its not worth it at all. Just stick with the original, nothing groundbreaking. Save your 2 bucks for something else.

I jumped right in like a loyal pre-app store fan (this was the best, fun, early application), but you cant write more than a couple words in the text box, which is kind of a bug. And it would be good to have a smudge tool, as long as youve added brush types. The interface looks nice, but it now takes a fair amount of manipulation to change tools, or even just color, brush size and transparency. But the preview effect to see what color and size is excellent. For $2.00, theres nothing to complain about here, however.

Great improvements. Only wish is that the drawing action was a little smoother. Curves get "angly" when drawing too fast.

Could not load a new page. Tools persist even when you try to read the instruction page. Items that look like links are not. Need to add a pen feature that would allow real notes by hand that would convert to text
