I was surprised why it had such a low revieuw on android devices, I've always used clipstudio paint on pc, and it is simply amazing. However, if you have done a one-time purchase license like me, you won't be able to use it on any other mobile devices like tablets, phones, and stuff like it, thats just greedy and not user friendly, short story it the drawing software is nice but, the software licensing is garbage

As you may know, the smartphone version grants you all features for free during the trial period. On December 5, 2023, Ver.2.3.0 updated the trial usage to a more flexible 30 hours per month. Please update and explore. Also, if you’re using only the Companion Mode, there's no need for a Smartphone Plan—you can use it regardless of the free usage.

On the iPad I have no problems at all with this app. It just sucks about the new sub plans which makes me need to switch from computer to iPad to use the latest features. However on the phone.. this app is absolutely trash. You need yet another plan and I don't even wish to draw on my phone. I just want to use the dual device function to be able to acces my shortcuts easier as I don't have a keyboard for my iPad... Either make a separate app for the phone for said shortcuts or remove the plan :(

If you plan to use only Companion Mode, there's no need to subscribe on your smartphone. You can access it regardless of the free usage limit. Open the app, tap “Get Started” > Home > Menu (lower-left) > Companion Mode and connect to your iPad. If you encounter any issues, please contact Clip Studio User Support. We’re here to help!

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.
