I really, really love this app, it has a great potential for growth! I love how samsung gteatly coordinated the app with their tablets, i never experienced any pen delay or crushes this far (i've been using this app for about a year now). Though, the it has some issues needed to be looked upon. Eraser that has no pressure sensitivity or setting as pen\brushes has, smudge brush with simular issues, drawing that is beginning to corrupt bit by bit the longer you draw on it using the mask effect.

I love the function of a pen, but it'll tell me that I left my pin behind when my pin is in my hand right next to the phone. I really wish there was a locate pin function or for it to beep. The other feature that would give a 5 is if it weren't black on the inside. It would help it stand out when it's lying on a black desk/counter. RATING UPDATED After reading Samsung's reply, it's clear reading for comprehension is a work in progress. It's not the PENUP dot. It's the physical PEN.

Hello, If you have any issues with the S Pen, please reach out through 'Phone Settings > Advanced features > S Pen > Contact us' for prompt assistance. If you enable dark mode on your phone, the PENUP app will also switch to dark mode. Disabling dark mode will allow you to use PENUP with a white background. Please keep this in mind. Thank you.

Edit: Nope, doesn't work, sorry : toolbars get hidden but not the buttons 🤷🏻‍♂️ New layout is more of a downgrade than anything else. The tools didn't take that much of a space so there was no real need to turn everything upside down. UI looks pretty bland now... but worse are all those control buttons you decided to add on the drawing surface (zoom & canvas rotation) that block the way and just don't disappear when you try to draw. Still it's a nice and FREE drawing app

Hello, when the 'TalkBack' accessibility option is enabled, control buttons will appear. This is unrelated to gesture functions and may be an error since the device is not a Samsung. PENUP is optimized for Samsung devices, and to fully utilize all features, a device that supports the S Pen is required. Thank you.
