About this app

Pocket Paint is a drawing app that allows you to edit graphics, images, and photos, make parts transparent, zoom in up to single pixel level, and much more! Together with Catrobat’s app Pocket Code it also allows you to easily create animations, apps, and games directly on your smartphone!

Features:
-- Save images as .jpg (compressed), .png (lossless, with transparency), or .ora (keeping layer information)
-- Layers (including moving up and down or merging them)
-- Stickers from the Catrobat family images and more (only for this it accesses the internet)
-- Tools: brush, pipette, stamp, circle/ellipse, cropping, flipping, zooming, line tool, cursor, fill tool, rectangle, eraser, moving, rotation and much more!
-- Easy import of images and graphics
-- Full screen drawing
-- Color palette or RGBa values

For the price (free), it seems to do better than many paid options. Lots of tools to edit the way you want. Only two criticisms after using it for a few minutes: 1. No good selection tools (i.e. Magic Wand) - this is almost a deal breaker. 2. If you pan/zoom while a tool is selected, it also uses the tool. I don't love having to either push undo after pan/zoom or have to switch back and forth between hand and tool.

one of the only apps I've found that allows multiple layers and transparency options. the list of features is honesty excellent. but the app crashes every 5 minutes and I've had to uninstall the program at least a half dozen times after a bug where it will not open. if better optimized this would be one of the best but it is currently unusable.

I've been using this app for a couple of years now, and it's fairly good for basic image manipulation. There are a couple of features missing that I would find handy (cropping rectangular areas, and font outlines), but overall it's a quick and simple image editor / sketchbook. March 2024 review update: Still my go-to.
