Unsure where to bring this, so I'm here. Love this app, been using it for nearly 5 years now I think. It's not always super intuitive, but there are lots of answers online when things get confusing, and it's easy to learn how to use (even if that sounds contradictory-). I was thinking, I like using my phone for companion mode, it's very useful especially when using a computer, but I'd like companion mode to have the list of layers? That would be VERY useful, please.

30 hours a month is honestly a great deal for me. I draw on my phone at work, and it's more than enough to occupy my down time and make some mobile pics to upload later! Edit 1/14/25 I took off a star because I liked the older image importing system rather than this new one where I can't find anything. Please recert back go the old system it was so much easier to import images with it.

Easily the most flexible and accessible graphic app on the market, and if you are poor, then it's basically your only choice for ever opening PSD files. Photoshop is a great application, but it's priced outside my budget, and CSP just isn't. For everything from 3d modeling to creating your own manga/comic from scratch, the best mobile app to meet your needs is CSP, period. The subscription service Clip Studio runs isn't really that bad, it's ~$8/month for my 2-device plan
