Oh no! There’s a hook in that worm!

2. Artstudio was not featured by Apple at all while they are featuring many other apps over and over again. Switching to free was almost necessary to increase app popularity.

Bingo! ASP is now being featured within the art apps on the App Store, and it’s easier to find… Apple do likes this free+subscription model (please don’t remove the lifetime license option)

Can you write where exactly it is featured? And in which country?

I saw it in the apps section. It says “turn your iPad into…”. There are a few categories, the one that it says “into an art studio” the app appears alongside procreate and línea sketch. This is in the Mexico App Store.

Germany.
There was some kind of “Top Art-Apps” list, like they often do (top Arcade Games, top productivity apps, and so on). Not the first time I’ve seen the art apps list, but it was indeed the first time I saw ASP among them. I don’t have the full details, as I didn’t pay much attention to it aside from noticing the app there, and now the list is gone…
But right now they have a story there too, something like “Your iPad as an art studio” where they tell you how you can use the iPad to create different kinds of graphic stuff, and among the usual featured apps is our favorite one! Yay!

Ok, thanks. I usually check USA App Store only.

[Cantisani]

Here. Mex Apple Store …

[Lucky Clan]

Ohh, so it is mexico Unfotunately it doesn't generate too big revenues

[Cantisani]

Ok dude. I was just sharing its being featured.

Ok dude. I was just sharing its being featured. 

This is kind of unnecessarily hostile. They weren't at all being rude with their response

Yeah well, I felt the same with the above comment from the developer. Anyone knows that some markets are smaller than others.

And if that market doesn't generate "too big revenues" it's perhaps because no one knows about the app, everyone here uses procreate as everywhere else and that precisely is the point. I was glad it was being featured in the local App Store so more people here knows about it.

Anyway, moving on.

It has a superior layout and better color palette support that Artstudio Pro simply doesn’t have. For this reason alone my choice has been made for me. So if I’m forced between push and shove…I’m sticking with Clipstudio Paint. I’m deleting Artstudio Pro soon. Now if Procreate does the same thing I’ll have to sit down once again and make the same cold hard decision which app to stick to if I’m forced to pay annual fees for something I purchased. Most important in that decision will be file support…and Artstudio Pro simply doesn’t have that much file support that can be converted to. Not to mention brush library support is way behind Procreate.

I agree that CSP is a great program for digital artists, but its user interface is the worst thing that’s ever been ported to iPad. It’s practically unusable without a keyboard or a remote. It is not designed for a touch device, it is designed for a desktop. They have the companion app now for shortcuts, but it’s way inferior to the Tabmate which is unusable on IOS. Don’t get me wrong, I learned digital art on CSP (on desktop) and still feel it is an amazing piece of software. But, saying it’s superior over ASP isn’t a fair comparison. They are drastically different in what they’re designed for and CSP for iPad isn’t user friendly at all. Now if you’re comparing desktop programs, it’s again not a great comparison… ASP on Mac is much younger than CSP.

For me, I’d take ASPs file conversion limitations over CSPs terrible cloud system, but that’s just me.

Now for Procreate’s brush engine vs ASP’s… While ASP’s brush engine has more of a learning curve, it is much more feature rich than Procreate’s. I’ve been able to recreate all my Procreate brushes without any problems.
