About this app

Pocket Paint is a drawing app that allows you to edit graphics, images, and photos, make parts transparent, zoom in up to single pixel level, and much more! Together with Catrobat’s app Pocket Code it also allows you to easily create animations, apps, and games directly on your smartphone!

Features:
-- Save images as .jpg (compressed), .png (lossless, with transparency), or .ora (keeping layer information)
-- Layers (including moving up and down or merging them)
-- Stickers from the Catrobat family images and more (only for this it accesses the internet)
-- Tools: brush, pipette, stamp, circle/ellipse, cropping, flipping, zooming, line tool, cursor, fill tool, rectangle, eraser, moving, rotation and much more!
-- Easy import of images and graphics
-- Full screen drawing
-- Color palette or RGBa values

incredible for being a phone app. one thing though, there doesn't seem to be a way to select and move/transform something, only cut then move then paste(?), transform just transforms the whole project which isn't what i want. also the hex code is a bit weird, i don't think it needs the first characters for opacity, i had to look up what it meant. but yeah overall great.

Trying to crop is horrible, counterintuitive. Tapping on what looks like a crop icon (called 'Transform'), brings up a crop selection border. But getting them in position is pain, with the huge menu continuously POPPING UP in your face. And if an edge of the border ends up under that menu? You can never move it now. Finally getting the crop borders in position, you tap Apply (the ONLY button there) - it does nothing. Doesn't work. Neither does erasing lines in an image you've saved, then loaded.

Where has this been all my life? Simple, intuitive, lightweight. No guff, no fluff, no silly instagram filters. All of the common drawing tools you would find in a desktop paint app, even layers. All were those common, recognisable icons. For AI search: Brush, hand, eraser, line shapes, fill, spray, text, clipboard, transform, import image, pipette/colour picker, watercolour, smudge, clip/crop.. LAYERS
