Zen Brush 2 App Reviews

If i could marry an app and have only one brush/tool for the rest of my life, i believe i could honestly fulfill my promise to "have and to hold" only this brush/tool. i admit i have "drawn-around" trying this brush/tool and the other; but, THIS app gives the absolute best, most deeply satisfying "brush/tool" experienced i have ever had. ;-D

Crashes everytime I try to connect my wacom stylus. You owe me $3.

As a longtime user of Zen brush I was a bit skeptical of paying for the upgrade. Moments after doing so I can say: no regrets. Congratulations, kudos to the code-writers/artists of this app. Very beautifully done. What a silky smooth experience. What a pleasure to use. Perhaps you too will enjoy and appreciate the surprising sensuality of this new app.

For some reason there is a fluidity in the line unmatched in any of the other drawing apps. I often start a drawing in Zen Brush, do the elaboration if I need it in another app with more whistles and bells.

well done

This app is so much fun. It forces you to relax and loosen up. I normally draw in a very tight style with a lot a cross hatching and detail. With zen brush2, I can shift gears and use a different part of my brain and psyche. I think the idea of allowing another layer to trace over characters to learn them is a great one. I originally thought that might be something I could do to practice Shodo. However, I dont agree with the previous review regarding the value of the product. For the minimal price you pay for the product, it is a total steal. Add the new layer and import functions and I would happily re-buy an upgrade!

Feels like using a real Chinese brush! Great improvement over the first version, just dont know why they dont do an upgrade but do a separate app. But, thanks for building this app! Absolutely love it!

Ive always loved this app, and now it is preventing nicer. Its just a pleasure to draw with. Im sure it wasnt planned to be a help in this situation, but I often use it to help teach reading and writing. Theres something very helpful about the tactile experience and how it shows up on the "paper".

The inability to load an image to use as an under drawing and no layers is hard to believe in a $2.99 program. Also, the background papers only load in portrait...duh! The lack of features make it unworthy of the price tag. Save your money. There are other programs that offer so much more...

Combined with the new Apple Pencil this app almost perfectly captures sumi-e brushwork. Freed from an overabundance of options one can simply create. Ive liked this app on my smaller iPad with a simple stylus but the iPad pro + Apple Pencil takes it to a whole new level.

The app was great already. For serious users, please add more options for large paper and zoom in for detailed work, not focusing on some other fancy but unnecessary features.

This app is BEAUTIFUL. It is fluid, smooth and easy to use. It has two major flaws. I. It is very limited on colors. I dont know why. You set two colors for each page. Second, it has a delete page button that does not ask if you are sure. This is somewhat mitigated by the fact that it has an undo that lets you bring the page bacK, most of the tire, which brings me to a third problem, perhaps not a MAJOR flaw, but still serious. The undo button is seemingly random in how many steps it will let you go back. Sometimes, it will not let you restore more than even a couple of steps. This app has tremendous potential and worksexceptionally well with Apple Pencil. Just give us a few more colors and better undo options. It is definitely the best "inking"app there is in the store right now. For writing text, it is without compare.

I do not like the fact that my two color choices are made for me and that there are not many colors to choose from. This app will not do what I wanted. I am sorry I wasted my money on it.

The app is beautiful but, for something that costs 2.99, I was surprised at the lack of color choices. A color wheel would be very nice. I would also love unlimited undos.

add a fuction to build a personal seal so we can use them in the painting.

I want to zoom in (

Paired with Apple Pencil and iPad Pro I can Del the ink flowing from the brush. This is mesmerizing.

I love the b/w mode. I just wish I could control the shade like I control the brush size. Love painting bamboo with it and zen circles.

Owning all the current, major drawing and painting apps for iPad, the fluid strokes within Zen Brush 2 mesmerized me indeed. Considering that countless illustrators and cartoonists over the years have amazed viewers with nothing more than the bare simplicity of black ink and washes, the limits within this app are hardly limits. Very pleased with my purchase.

If I can enlarge stuff to add details, that would be even better.
