  • Simple and beginner-friendly interface, easy to navigate and learn.
  • Great for comic, manga, and digital art creation, with good quality brushes and features.
  • Auto-updates on Steam and cloud syncing between devices are appreciated by users.
  • Frequent crashes and instability issues, especially in the paid Steam version, resulting in data loss.
  • Paid version offers minimal advantages over the free version, with essential features locked behind additional subscriptions.
  • Animation features are very basic and lack important tools like keyframes and timeline, making it insufficient for serious animators.

  • monetization

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    56% positive mentions, 11% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The monetization of the software is seen as overly aggressive, with key features paywalled and the premium pricing viewed as expensive, especially given that the free version is robust and ad-supported. Users feel the paid version mostly removes ads but doesn't justify the high cost, with limited added value beyond basic extras like minimal animation and gradients. Many recommend sticking with the free version, waiting for sales, or considering alternative apps due to the poor value proposition.

    • “I paid to download the software with no ads, that is it.”
    • “£40 to get no ads, when the software can be downloaded for free from their site and is less than £13 a year to have premium.”
    • “What this offers over free Medibang is no ads, a basic animation feature, some gradients, instant updates, the convenience of having it on Steam, and getting to see your hours. Personally, I'm going to recommend it because Medibang is genuinely a good drawing app especially for people who like manga and comics and an easy to understand program.”
    • “I've used Medibang for almost 10 years now, and the fact that there hasn't been much change besides more aggressive monetization and paywalling basic art program features for free users is honestly not great to me.”
    • “I paid £40 for this software with the understanding from advertisements that I would be receiving a lifetime premium version; this was not the case.”
    • “Had it on my iPad for years and was upset about the ads, so now I have a PC and art tablet.”

  • stability

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The app suffers from frequent freezes and glitches, especially during saving, exporting, and canvas navigation, leading to a frustratingly unstable experience. Users report unexpected crashes, lost work, and laggy performance that detracts significantly from its value.

    • “Sometimes the pen tracking just freezes randomly for no reason, causing stutters when trying to draw.”
    • “The app freezes a lot, especially when saving files or during auto-saving.”
    • “Exporting animations or merging timelapse videos causes MediBang to freeze, making these features unusable.”

  • graphics

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users appreciate the program's graphics for its ease of use and suitability for experimenting with art styles, though some note that pen and brush options are more limited compared to other tools like Clip Studio. Overall, it is valued for its accessibility and creative potential.

  • optimization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The optimization is lacking, causing potential issues like program unresponsiveness and corrupted time lapse files on lower-performance devices, especially with longer time settings.

    • “If your device is lacking in performance, be warned that long time lapse files may be corrupted and the program may become unresponsive.”

  • music

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users appreciate the functionality but find the lack of an audio import or timeline feature limiting, making it necessary to use other software when animating along to music.

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding is seen as tedious and time-consuming, particularly due to repetitive tasks like adjusting the opacity across many animation frames individually.
