Apple tablet drawing program compatibility

Here is my comprehensive, but incomplete list of some of the best Apple Pencil compatible drawing apps.

Adobe Sketch

Affinity Photo

Affinity Designer

ArtStudio Pro

ArtRage

Art Set 4 or 5

AutoDesk SketchBook Pro

Brushes/Brushes Redux

Clip Studio Paint

ColorBox Pro/Extended/Sketches ( great generic drawing app needing no stylus compatibilty. This is an app I just really like for its UI design and layout. Check it out, if just curious )

Colored Pencil

Water Color Pencil

ibisPaint/ibisPaint X

Interactive Sketchbook ( a pure pencil-like/charcoal-like, clean minimal UI strictly sketching style app )

Infinite Painter

Inspire Pro

iPocket Draw

Linea

Lori Pro

Medibang Paint

Moleskine Flow

Moleskine Journal

My Brushes Pro

Procreate

Pixelmator

Painstorm Studio

Tayasui Sketches/Sketches Pro/Sketches School ( free app version with fewer sketching/drawing/painting tools )

( Tayasui Sketches is another BIG general sketching/drawing/painting app that I like for simplicity, but complex drawing tools set. Worth a look, check it out! )

Tayasui Memopad

Here is the link to the iOS App here.

Generally speaking, just because you already purchased the app on one computing platform doesn't mean you get free access to the same app on another computing platform.

iOS is a completely different tablet platform from Windows on a Surface Tablet or more robust Windows PC.

If you owned a Mac, you still would have had to pay/purchase the Mac version of the app UNLESS running Windows on a Mac.

Best of Luck to You!

Clip Studio Paint has a version for iPad/iOS/iPadOS and Apple Pencil, but it maybe a slimmed down version of the full computer version of this app.

To save and export canvases to different formats and locations requires and somewhat expensive monthly subscription fee.

The PRO plan monthly is $5 U S.D. /mo. The EX Plan is $9 U.S.D./mo..

Yearly paid plans for PRO is $54 U.S.D. and EX $118 U.S.D.

Currently, Clip Studio Paint is running a 50% OFF sale and their yearly subscription plans.

Still too rich for my budget when there are sooooo many great sketching/drawing and painting apps for iPad and Apple Pencil ( and some other third party stylii ) that you ONLY pay a flat, one-time app cost/fee or much cheaper monthly/yearly subscription fee.

Hello,

You would need to ask the application’s support if they support Apple Pencil.
