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!

-- 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!

Although I've used Pocket Paint for only a very short time I found it very useful for a rather complicated project I've been working on. there is a learning curve associated with this very effective tool. but if you be patient you can manipulate different tools to get the effect you want. One thing to note and that is that you can use a tool provided to move your format around. I didn't see this for a while, and was frustrated because I couldn't enlarge my printed map. Yet lo and beho

I love this app, and use it often, but upon using the drag tool, I just discovered a glitch where, when using 2 fingers to move my perspective, the drag tool will activate and discolor random portions of my image near where I tap to move. whats especially frustrating is that since the clicks/edits "never happened", I cannot undo them with the undo function. it seems to happen more often the bigger the pressure is... oh wait, maybe it was the cracks in my screen...

Great image editor for my phone. Really appreciate there being layers. Just a fantastic program. Two suggestions that would be handy, if possible, is ability to resize the pixels to scale (so if I write '1000px' in the width box using the Transform tool, it automatically changes the height box number to scale). Another would be maybe having an option of a manual press zoom and move, so perhaps we can move and zoom with precision by touch tapping instead of less precise pinch to zoom. Thanks.
