Tried it out. Loved it. I have one of those moderately expensive Samsung Chromebooks with its own pen, and the pressure sensitivity stuff works great. I can see myself building an art workflow around my Chromebook with Krita. Previously the only options on Chromebooks or Android were proprietary apps that had ads, including Autodesk Sketchbook which I used to love but they added ads, DeviantArt integration, and nerfed the UX.

So getting an open source, full-featured alternative is fantastic for me.

They have ads on autodesk sketchbook? When I had an android phone I paid for it and they made it free a few months later. Now I am on iphone and even the free apps have much less ads.

It was years ago and I forgot what change they made. It was either ads or "sign up for a free account". Whatever it was, it pissed me off -- and enough others that Autodesk apparently walked it back.

It only stressed to me the need for an open-source solution -- which Krita on Android fills nicely.
