- It's got almost everything that I wanted in Paint Tool SAI. The only downside... no blur tool. I am really looking for a painting software with a blur tool. So... 4.5/5 stars Guest • Jun 2015 • 5 agrees and 1 disagrees
- Very advanced program that is absolutely free, only downside is that it's not as lightweight as SAI Guest • May 2017 • 6 agrees and 2 disagrees
- Too glitchy and too hard to use. It will zoom in and out randomly making it hard to draw. Guest • Apr 2017 • 8 agrees and 7 disagrees
- It has animation features, fullscreen support, and works well Guest • Oct 2017 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- It provides all the tools I want for no cost. Guest • Dec 2017
- i like it, just need to get used to it! Guest • Feb 2018
- It's a very good painting program for Windows, especially for freeware! However, the last time I tried it on my Mac, it was pretty glitchy, and the pen pressure didn't work. I don't know if it was fixed, but if the program still glitches on Macs, I'd say look for a different alternative. Guest • Sep 2017 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees

- Firealpaca is much easier to use! It's simpler to find your way around and it's completely free for mac and windows! It's also great because it has regular updates so you know it's always gonna get better. You can animate on it and use masks, references and palettes. Guest • Dec 2017 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- It has most of the functions that SAI has. Guest • Nov 2016 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees
- easy to start, and very user friendly. It may not sync very well but very fun to play around with. Guest • Mar 2017
- Has just about anything you could want, including pressure sensitivity, layers, and a variety of brushes. There's even an onion skin mode for animation! :D Guest • Apr 2017
- Antialiased lines almost as good as SAI and the best brush engine of all competitors regarding flexibility and edition through easy to learn scripting. Guest • May 2017

- I usually use it and I really like the way the lines look like. But now it's a little bit complicated to cope with all the brushes and drawing in digital programs. Guest • Jan 2017 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Been using for years for illustrating, and it doesn't take very long to find where the right brushes are. Some of the few things I wish they'd improve is the magic tool and lasso tool though. xladedax • Aug 2017 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- it has features sai dosent have Guest • Dec 2016
- easy to use and very similar to Fire Alpaca. The main differences are that Medibang has more brushes and options, it has a cloud save, and a dark theme( I personally like dark themes better than light ones) Guest • Aug 2018
- It has everything I could ever need to draw danny devito in a suggestive red m&m costume! Guest • Apr 2018 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees
- Very similar interface, just needs to improve the vector tool Guest • Aug 2016 • 0 agrees and 3 disagrees
- A lot of features that does not have SAI (also SAI 2). Just awesome. Guest • Feb 2018 • 0 agrees and 3 disagrees
