Shameless.

I’m beyond disappointed. I’ve been using this app since I was in middle school, for almost a decade, and I’ve always loved it. The audacity of the developers to take brushes that have been free this entire time and put them behind a paywall is a shameless cash grab that makes me never want to touch this app again. I cannot believe they would cause long time users these problems. My favorite brushes I can no longer use because I don’t want to watch an ad to use them for three hours or just pay for premium, it’s not fair to those who have been using these brushes freely forever. There were already premium brushes, stick to those. Leave ours alone. Disappointed in you, Medibang. UPDATE: PLEASE PLEASE STOP RUNNING THE BLACK AND WHITE FLASHING AD WITH THE LOUD BEEPS I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT GOT APPROVED FILTER YOUR ADS!!!!!! That is so dangerous for your users!!!!! I thought the anime panty ads were bad but this is so much worse it is a genuine medical concern it causes migraines and epilepsy come onnnnnn

★★★★★Oct 15, 2026
Flashing Ad at top of screen that cannot be dismissed

There's a flashing ad, seemingly for nothing, that flashes on and off and feels like its going to give me a seizure. please add a way to dismiss ads like this, it genuinely hurts my eyes

★★★★★Sep 13, 2026
In a pretty sad state

I used to use this app all the time in 2018-19, it’s basically unusable nowadays with ads every time you open or close something alongside the newly added adwalls for brushes. I recommend clip studio as an alternative

★★★★★Sep 12, 2026
8.5/10

I’ve been using MediBang since I was 13, and it’s been my go-to for all digital art. I’ve tried to use other programs but I always seem to come back and use MediBang. However, I don’t really like the update of limited pens and a whole flood of ads popping in your way, but it’s whatever. I enjoy it either way :)

★★★★★Sep 8, 2026
It’s a bad app because I can’t delete it permanently

I tried going to my settings. I tried some things, but I can’t seem to delete it at all. I search up Google it said and there’s no way to delete it. It just won’t let me.

★★★★★Aug 29, 2026
Unsaved

It is not saving my work. It will only show recent works. However, after opening a new drawing or leaving the app untouched, all artworks disappears. It seems to be only a problem on iphone. As for my ipad everything seems to be working fine besides a few things I dislike. Like the brushes that used to be free is now locked behind a damm paywall. The timelapse is not even good to use. You might as well use ibis paint. I only loved Medibang because of the clean unclutter look. Also the brushes were all free to use. Back then there was no ads, but now it is flooded with subscriptions and ads. The timelapse is horrible because you have to split and merge every clip. Also you cannot delete clips which makes it harder to find the ones you want.
