GBI get it's free, but... it's very bad. I get that this thing is free, and I realize I shouldn't expect top notch performance from it, but this thing was just so bad. I mean, I would try to change colors, and mind you I had nothing selected, but random parts of my art would change to that color. Not only that, but little bits would just disappear if I closed out the tab then opened it again. On top of that, the fill tool doesn't look very good, as you'd have to do touch ups around the edges, kind of defeats the purpose if you ask me. Then I had to go on a side quest to import reference photos. After that, I had the issue of duplicate objects being automatically grouped together and when I tried to ungroup them, guess what? More problems! Parts would be transported to different parts of the canvas, some even off it, and if that didn't happen the whole drawing would get moved. Overall, this site is absolutely trash, I don't recommend it, not even for just messing around.

CATHE WORST DRAWING PROGRAM EVER I really dislike this program. The eraser is difficult to find and personally it would only allow you to select every other tool. Layers were not available and multiple times I made a mark by mistake and couldn't undo it. The bucket tool covered my line art and I was absolutely miserable the whole time I was drawing. Long story short, don't use this program!

AUI have (attempted) to use sketch.io for… I have (attempted) to use sketch.io for multiple assignments (I am a IX/ MGB major). However, Sketch.io consistently disappoints and frustrates me which often makes simple tasks unbearably painful, especially when considering its deign philosophy as an intuitive and simple program. Many times the 'grab' function fails which forces a perfect and hindsight focused perspective, though i could have been using the program incorrectly, the fact that I have been unable to find a solution (after many attempts) is a testament to the inadequacy of the program for simple functions (drawing). While I could continue to lament on the failures of this product, I can easily surmise with "mediocre".

GBA positive experience in every way I interned with Sketch.io and had a great experience. Before starting my internship I used Sketchpad and found it really easy and fun to interact with. I had a great time trying out the various drawing tools. During my internship I saw firsthand how hard the developers at Sketch work to make sure that they're providing a great product and how quickly they tackle any product bugs or issues that arise. They really care about creating a positive experience for their users and making sure that their clients are happy. On top of that, they were welcoming, supportive and made my time at Sketch enjoyable. It was really cool to see Sketchpad's diversity too and how it could be used in so many different ways. Definitely a positive experience in every way.

CASketch.IO Intern Review As a recent intern at Sketch.IO, I can attest to their knowledge, experience, warmth, teamwork and consistent effort. They always had time to offer advice and clear solutions, within the context of helping me to learn a new skill. I felt honored to learn from the Sketch.IO team! Regarding Sketchpad, once I explored the icons and components, I found Sketchpad an easy to use graphics platform with lots of options. I continue to use it for wire-framing, creating logos, and personal art projects. In particular, I find the shapes an effective shortcut tool, and the drawing tools are intuitive and precise. I enjoy the clipart, (though the library could be expanded a bit). And I find auto save and file share options very clear and obvious. 'Bravo, friends!
