Pros It has a decent number of the tools a digital artist might need when starting out, and the UI is rather pleasant. It is a wonderful free option, and has earned it's place as one of the top places to start in digital art, alongside its companion app, FireAlpaca. Cons After a while of using the app, it is clear that MediBang Paint has limitations that something like Photoshop or Clip Studio Paint don't suffer from. It's a great starting spot, but if you're looking for an all-in-one suite, this will be lacking.

Cons It is kind of annoying when you go into the program and there are a lot of pop ups and notifications.

Il menù è classico ed è semplicissimo da utilizzare, penso sia uno dei softwares migliori in questo ambito. Cons MediBang non mi ha ancora dato nessun problema, nemmeno con la compatibilità. A mio avviso è davvero uno strumento valido. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

It has a lot of useful fuctions and it never stops amazing me. Cons It's a bit hard to use a few fuctions properly or to even find them. The Help tool could use a few improvements.

Fotografa Photography ### "Ottimo" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 November 15, 2023 Pros MediBang mi ha fatto sin da subito un'ottima impressione, rivelandosi un software versatile adatto ad ogni tipo di esigenza. L'unica pecca è che forse, per me che provengo da altri software, alcune opzioni fossero un attimo troppo confusionarie. Cons E' ottimo, ma credo prenda tempo per abituarsi se si proviene da altri software, in quanto alcune opzioni sono in categorie diverse rispetto a quelle offerte dai tipici e vecchi software con più notorietà presenti tutt'ora sul mercato.

Moderatrice Chat Management Consulting ### "Bisogna prenderci la mano ma..." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 November 5, 2023 Pros Con MediBang bisogna prenderci un po' la mano prima di inquadrare perfettamente il software: nonostante abbia le solite molteplici funzioni base, ne possiede anche di nuove e nascoste, che necessitano di essere utilizzate solo con la giusta conoscenza del prodotto. E' ottimo, ma serve tempo per usarlo bene. Cons Come già sopra citato, ritengo che MediBang richieda un periodo di training prima di essere utilizzato alla perfezione.

Pros I like how easy it was to get started with Medibang. It was free to use their lite version which was a big win for me because I wasn't sure if I wanted to move into digital art or not. I also like that I was able to use it on my phone with my stylus Cons I dont think I could pinpoint any cons.
