Autodesk SketchBook

Definitely my #1 most-used app on my Surface. However, I'm not sure why this one has so few features. It's even missing some customization that the free Android app has. Autodesk, please enable features across all platforms, the inconsistencies are frustrating and sabotage your app's usefulness.

I loved the phone app. Pay one time and get all the missing tools I need but this monthly or yearly thing just isn't going to work with me. I hated illustrator for this and now you guys do this on PC. I'll pay one time but for me to keep having to pay for features I already have on my phone other then one or two other features is worthless. I get you guys want money and you can't make as much from one time purchases. It simply isn't worth it right now. Maybe if you had more features or gave that one time option at a high price I might reconsider the desktop version.

The brushes and the interface are very pleasant to work with. Not too buggy, either. However, the lack of layers in the free Win10 version is awful. I've used the free iOS and Android versions before, and both supported layers. Also, the lack of a one-time purchase option is obnoxious.

First, this app was preinstalled on my laptop &I decided to try the free trial so my daughter could check out the features. The plan was that if she liked the Pro version, I'd cancel it on my computer & then let her have it on hers. Well, turns out that doing business with Autodesk Sketchbook through Microsoft is not a good idea as cancelling my subscription was not possible without contacting Microsoft customer support...by the time I'd figured this out, I'd already been charged for the first month. My daughter loves the app & is able to create lovely art with it, however we will be investigating other ways to get this app on her computer, or go with something else when this month has expired.

Without subscription you get less features than MSPaint. Would very much like to use this program for in-depth doodling, but I don't want a money drain for something casual.
