How do I begin?

First of all, great app name. It just sounds so creative, like your sketching a whole day in a whole life!..Creating characters, and life..just so beautiful. Also, the prompts? OMG! Their SOOOOOOO creative and unique in their own special way. Today I did “Cone” and I also did “Magic”. How I did 2? The late prompts. Their so great! Like if you miss a day, you can go back and sketch the prompt. And also do whatever day your on! Sadly you can only do 3 entries a day (Not a bad thing, good in fact. It helps users not spam post.) The only “critique” is that you can’t really ask people to like or check out your profile...it’s not much of a critique, blocking beggars, but I think it should be allowed if they ask only very briefly and simply just said “check out my profile!! It’s epic” or something like that, just not “Pls like PLS PLS PLS” or “CHECK OUT MY PROFILE PLS” or anything like that. It would be fine if it was allowed for mature or 15+ (Mature 13-year-olds POSSIBLY allowed if they behave maturely and politely) and any beggars post would be deleted in a amount of time or immediately. Or if anyone sees a beggar they’d report to a moderator... but yeah that’s my only critique. Thank you SO much for making Sketch a Day. It’s a absolutely PERFECT app.

Great app for artists but unintentionally biased

I’m truly nervous for writing this review for the fear of backlash or retaliation: but it truly must be said.
This app is amazing to help art blocks and get creative. The artists on this app are all so friendly, compassionate, supportive of one another and helpful when needed. However there is an option to contact support yet they do not read nor respond. There is a rule that “Reposting old work is not allowed. The whole point of the app is to draw daily, not to "farm" likes.” And there has been old work posted with MINOR new details added; some it’s literally just the same piece reposted. I’ve read the reviews where artists are penalized for breaking more minor rules than that, yet these other artists get away with reusing old work from long ago (so it’s not noticeable), and the rest of us are working hard on sketching NEW pieces for every prompt.
I truly love this app; I’ll continue to use it, but it is 100% not fair that particular artists can get away with breaking rules and others either lose their day streak, suspended, or kicked off.
I’ve taken this with a grain of salt for a little while until it became more and more common yet still goes unnoticed.
I sincerely hope I’m not retaliated against for this review.

All sorts of great things .

It’s an amazing place to come to , for practicing new things finding new interesting art supplies like you could move from alcohol markers to watercolor . And they even give you ideas of what to draw! Isn’t that just simply amazing?! Not only those great features but they also have a incredibly kind and understanding community which makes it great for beginners to share there art without to much judgement! And I just love that you still have many options without VIP it’s just amazing. It’s a great way to show your art . Might I add it isn’t the most popular app , which is also a bad thing , sad it’s underrated but it lowers the chance of it somehow getting hacked. If your an artist of any type I recommend this ! And if you just want to view art and talk with chill people this is a must get for you ! Stunningly amazing job developers! Credits all they way to you :) ! Thank you for reading .
