Hi,
Android platform is growing and more and more people are using an android phone or an android tablet. Some of painting/art dedicated applications are still in development and sometimes there are no equivalent, compared to iphone/ipad app sets.
What are your experiences on the android platform and what applications, do you use for game/entertainment/education or daily work as an artist or art lover ?
Any suggestions to enrich this topic is welcome. Its main objective is to have a panorama of "Art" dedicated apps for the android platform. Thanks for your contributions
============================
List of applications with links & descriptions from android market (a google spreadsheet could be edited if useful):
Digital Canvas (paint/painting/editing/sketching/drawing...):

Magic Doodle Premium
Main features:
- 6 Pencils and 40 art brushes selection and adjustment
- 4 smudge effects
- 6 eraser heads
- Abstract painting
- Symmetrical drawing and painting
- 15 color palettes with premixed colors
- Color wheel with HSV - RGB - HEX editable values
- 3 layers with duplication, transition, mirror flip, image importation, background fill, merge and move
- Last used colors and tools
- Export and share the paintings
- Video replay of the paintings (video actually not exportable)
- 6 canvas sizes
I simply love this program as it really does perform as a digital canvas should.
Sketchbook Mobile as mentioned above is also very good and has similar amounts of brushes and controls.
For users who have a Galaxy Tab though it does not conform to the screen size, you have to use another program named Spare Parts to alter the Apps resolution in order to make it fit correctly.

Issued you with a vote of thanks for putting this together.
P.S. Many thanks for mine ~ each vote of thanks I receive is transfered into £10 UK pounds for charity.
My nurses are authorized to take £10 out of my wallet when they notice I receive a new vote of thanks.
I know this thread is a few months old now but you might be interested in adding my app Fresco to the list. It's a painting/sketching app for Android that has full layers support and also features filters (e.g. blur, emboss, brightness). See here for more details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052925
Sketcher Pro or Sketcher is the best artistic drawing apps.
Here's my little question.
Do you know like this apps? Technical Brushing?
Cuz Sketcher is the good apps but some deficiency
No Brush Size
No Layers
Add the photo but no resize and no remove
Maybe this features porting another apps? Or Sketcher brushes porting another apps? Is that possible?
Or maybe they're suggest like this apps?
Thanks for answer

Anyone have a recommendation for a good photo editing app? There is an excellent one for iOS called Photogene, but the developer says he does not plan to do a version for Android.
I've been disappointed with the PhotoShop apps. I'm looking for a straight photo editing app, not something to create strangeness.
Suggestions? TIA!
I'm using Photo Editor by dev.macgyver -- it's basic, sure, but it does what I need it to do and it does not produce all kinds of ' funkygraphs'. It does a sepia, black and white, brightness correction (both linear and gamma-based), (channel-based) color corrections, resizes as well, I think, and so on. I didn't like the mobile Photoshop app either. Photo Editor is free, so give it a whirl and let us know what you think.
PS: I sound like a second-hand car salesman, hahaha. I am not affiliated in any way, shape or form with the aforementioned app or its developer.

Thanks for the tip, will take a look. Looks like fun on the PS, at least.
PS Touch (Photoshop Touch) is pretty easy to use and has a lot of features for editing, cropping, color and brightness levels etc......

Haha jk. The Photoshop elements app or w/e is probably the most detailed editing app available for now, but i read there are issues with the resolution and dpi settings being capped ridiculously low. Also it isn't a free app, its $9.99 i think.

Hands down, the "best" photo editing app is PS Touch. It even comes with GREAT tutorials (15 of them I think).
If you want something free there's a plethora of them.
Photo Editor is the one I use on my Samsung GS3, PS Touch on the Infinity.
Try Perfectly Clear, just came out for Android recently. Pretty darn good at automagically fixing up photos plus there are manual corrections you can do too. Wish it had cropping though.

I use the "fix dark" tool in Perfectly Clear regularly and it does a fine job even at full resolution. Considering how expensive the desktop plugin is the app is an amazing bargain.

Must Have Apps for the Note 10.1
Due to popular demand via PMs, I've decided to add a slot to this thread to display some of the best games we can get on our Android device.
As with the app list above, if there's a great game you'd like to be added to this list, let me know and I may well add it in
1. Pool Break Lite - If you like to play pool, snooker, billiards etc. on the go then this is a great app you. There are a few different variations to play in either single player or multiplayer online mode and even more variations if you buy the pro version.
2. FIFA 12 - This game speaks for itself. It's the latest mobile version of the FIFA franchise and is easily the best so far, with it showing vast improvements. There's a load of different cups and leagues to play through and with great graphics with no lag in the slightest.
3. World Series Of Poker - Probably the best game from EA (in my opinion). If you like to play poker I totally recommend this game. You can play Texas Holdem and Omaha in either cash games, tournaments or play for a WSOP bracelet as the main prize. Guest mode is now available for no login from Facebook is needed.
4. iAssociate2 - This is a good choice if you prefer a bit of a brain tester. iAssociate2 is a word association game you have to figure out which words and phrases are associated to each other. Sound easy? Give it a try and you can soon find out differently.
5. Need For Speed Most Wanted - Another brilliant addition to the EA family, Most Wanted finally brings one of the best racing experiences to Android. It's a brilliant game all round but the only thing it's lacking, in my opinion, is 'free roam' mode. But apart from that, it brings brilliant graphics and flawless gameplay.
6. Grand Theft Auto III - Grand Theft Auto III was a crime game which changed the future of gaming and is amazing to play on the go with our Androids. The full console game with great graphics, full features and surprisingly no lag considering it's such a huge game. Countless hours of gameplay, HD quality resolution and visually stunning graphics make this a must for our devices.
Must Have Apps for the Note 10.1
The idea to add widgets into this thread aswell was an idea taken from Goku80 and I hope you lot like it.
So, the list in this post is strictly for widgets. I'll add some widgets myself as a base, but as always feel free to suggest some of your favorite widgets and they may make it into this list.
1. Beautiful Widgets - Beautiful set of Widgets containing clock widget, clock and weather widget, weather widgets, date widgets and toggle widgets with skins/themes support!
2. Fancy Widgets - Personalize your Android home screen with highly customizable clock widgets, weather widgets, home (clock & weather) widgets, forecast widgets, and more with lots of customization options.
3. Ultimate custom widget (UCCW) - If you enjoy customizing the look of your homescreen then this is pretty much a MUST HAVE app for you. It allows the user to create their own pure custom clocks with a near endless array of options to customize it how they'd like. However you want it, you can make it with UCCW.
4. Desktop VisualizeR - Here's another really useful widget if you love to customize your screens. This gives you the ability to make shortcuts and widgets with any image you specify, rather than just the default logos. You can also use this app to give apps a custom icon of your own, which is handy if your icon design doesn't currently exist.
5. Minimalistic Text - Minimalistic Text is a widget app that displays information in a minimalistic way. It can be configured to display time, date, battery and weather information. The layout of the widget is highly customizable throughout.
6. Eye In The Sky Weather - This is for all those who like their weather clean, simple and beautiful. The app includes 12 of the best weather icon sets and the ability to add your own icon sets.
+1 AirDroid. Airdroid is an absolutely fantastic app. No cables required.
Here are a few to take advantage of all the screen real estate:
Google currents
News360
Flipboard - only configured to operate in portrait mode.
S-pen
Sketchbook Pro - great for the artist in all of us.
Music Apps:

I don't actually have the Note. I just figured it would help you guys out a bit, so I can't actually know if some of these apps will work or not.
Can anyone else confirm that Bar Shortcut doesn't work? I can then remove it from the list
I'll also update the list soon, once I've had something to eat

Elixir wants way too many permissions for me.
IMHO a absolute must have is share 2 copy https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.taroid.share2copy
Hello, everyone. I have decided to make this thread so that I can share some of my favorite apps with everyone in this community.
But there is one condition. NO SUPER POPULAR APPS.
I haven't posted apps like PowerAMP and Flipboard and Swiftkey. EVERYONE knows about these apps.
The purpose of this thread is to make everyone aware of new apps which are largely unheard of. Apps which are not so popular. I was too tired of seeing numerous lists full of apps I already knew about.
So, here's my list (You probably would've heard of some of these, but I guarantee, not all of them ) -
1) Atom Launcher- A great launcher with many options for customization while maintaining a minimalistic look. I personally recommend Typo Black Theme to go along with it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dlto.atom.launcher
Typo Black Theme- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dlto.atom.theme.NamuSModernTypoBlack
2) WordWeb - In my opinion, THE best dictionary out there. Why? Because its offline. Doesn't require an internet connection!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...3b3Jkd2Vic29mdHdhcmUuYW5kcm9pZC53b3Jkd2ViIl0.
3) Wallbase - I've tried 'em all and nothing has helped me find better wallpapers than this app. And most of them are full HD.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5jaXRjLndhbGxiYXNlIl0.
4) LyricsPlayer - This app shows a notification on the status bar when you're playing music, clicking on it automatically searches for the lyrics and displays them.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5jYXJsb3NnczkxLmx5cmljc3BsYXllciJd
5) Holo Compass - The most minimalistic and cool looking compass around.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.surix.holo.compass&feature=search_result
Here's another - Field Compass Holo
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.fieldcompass
6) Circle Alarm - A holo themed and minimalistic alarm app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50amVhbm5pbi5hbGFybSJd
Here's another - AlarmQuick https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.kinst.jakub.alarmquick
7) Node- Just a super cool live wallpaper
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5zdWZmaWNrLm5vZGUiXQ..
8) Pimp My Music - This is great for fixing up the ID3 tags in your songs and for finding all the right cover art.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImF1LmNvbS5waWNrdXAucG1tIl0.
9) T.E.A.M. Battery Bar - This displays a coloured bar on top of the status bar showing the battery level (remember MIUI?). A must have for me.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.batterybar
10) Active Lockscreen - I think this is one of the best lockscreens out there.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5jZWxsdGljay5sb2Nrc2NyZWVuIl0.
11) ConvertIt - Another holo themed and minimalistic app, this one is a unit converter.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...vbS5kcmlua2RyYW5rd2FzdGVkLmFuZHJvaWQuY3Z0Il0.
12) Phone Addict - This great little app counts how many times I check my phone. Over a period of time, shows the day I checked my phone the most times, the least times, and how often I check on average.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wYW5kdXRlY2hub2xvZ3kucGhvbmVhZGRpY3RmcmVlIl0.
13) Llama - For me this app is a MUST HAVE. I'll explain how it works. Basically, when you're at home or at work, your phone is getting signal from multiple cellphone towers nearby. What this app does is remember these towers and triggers certain profiles when they are in the vicinity. So, when I reach home, my phone automatically turns silent and when none of these towers are in range i.e. when I'm outside, it automatically increases the ring volume. You'll have to let it scan once, of course.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5rZWJhYi5MbGFtYSJd
14) Godville - This is a super simple game. You are God and you create your hero and lead him on quests etc. Superb time-killer.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nb2R2aWxsZWdhbWUuYW5kcm9pZCJd
15) Plasma Sound HD - This is a super cool app which lets you create music which is visually stunning too. Try it out yourself.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...vbS5yai5wcm9jZXNzaW5nLnBsYXNtYXNvdW5kaGQiXQ..
16) Sensor Music Player - A music player which lets you use various sensors to change track, pause etc. For example, if I'm using my headphones and my phone is in my pocket, I can just tap my pocket to change the track. Pretty cool. eh?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS56Z3VpLm11c2ljc2hha2VyIl0.
17) Clockr - A text based clock similar to minimalistic text, but just simpler.

My #1 Top Pick: Photo Wonder
Photo Wonder is a nearly perfect camera app from Baidu Inc. The color is crisp and true to your actual light without grabbing an orange or ‘dirty’ cast like other camera apps. It has a great zoom feature that allows you to get even closer than the example photo. It’s fast to load, quick to capture and has one click saving and sharing to social networks all in one screen. Photo Wonder also comes with 7 filters, editing screen with classic edits and special effects (including funny stickers, props etc), a review screen and a collage feature. Photo Wonder is like several apps in one. Down side: I’d like to see more filters, but the 7 they do offer are varied and useful such as a soft Elegant, Vintage, HDR, etc. Price: Free
.
.
.
2. FxCamera
FxCamera, from ymst, offers what first appears to be a very simple interface with just 5 filters. However, it gains the number two spot in my list not only for it’s sharp focus and accurate exposure, but also because those 5 filters are just the categories for over 25 other sub-filters. The range is fantastic: from fish eye to reflection to comic book. Down side: Needs more stability during a shot to get the perfect focus. Price: Free.
.
.
.
3. Cymera
Cymera, from SK Communications, comes in third with sharp focus and fast response time. It’s also another feature packed app worthy of any camera crazy shutterbug. Features include: 15 specialty filters, cropping, tilt-shift, liquify and more. It also comes equipped with anti-shake and timer settings. Down Side: Slower to start up, several second delay when saving a photo, color not as true. Price: Free
.
.
The last two on my top 5 are apps that do not offer a ‘no filter’ setting. So these would be good for social sharing, creative posting, etc..
.
.
.
4. Retro Camera
A cute app for specialized photos from developer Urbian. Retro Camera comes with 6 camera modes, each with their own set of filters: Barbl (dark washed black and whites), Orange Box (dark, scratchy vignettes), Xolaroid (Polaroid styles), Pinhole (film effects) and Hipsteroku (vintage styles, one seen above). Downsides: Slower to start up, more complicated menu, no non-filter option. Price: Free
.
.
.
5. One Man With A Camera
This app comes from Wise Shark Software, makers of the popular Pudding Camera. One Man With a Camera is a multifaceted experience which also delivers with the ‘pick a camera’ style menu. Cameras (with 12 filters each) include: Lomo (seen above), Old, Underwater, Square, Polaroid, Tilt-shift, fish eye, 4-In-One and SuperSampler. OMWAC also offer something most phone photographers love: a silent shutter for inconspicuous snapshots in public or quiet settings. Another reason I like this app is that you can touch anywhere on the screen to take a photo and it automatically saves after each shot. Downsides: Most filters are very extreme. Takes time to switch from one camera style to another. Price: Free...

<b>E-Soft</b>, the maker of <b>MatCon - Material Icon Maker </b> brings to you an awesome way of editing your photos and design icons using lots of powerful tools in <b>LayerMask</b> for Android. LayerMask uses the concept of layers along with many pro level tools to design creative and innovative photos, icons and many more.
Play Store Link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mask.layer.kali.ari.com.layermask
LayerMask allows you to layer, mask and blend any number of photos in layers to generate a final photo which will be a piece of Art. LayerMask is the first of its kind on Android because of the following features:-
Photo Editor: LayerMask comes with a number of tools like layering, image merging and blending, Photo tuning etc sufficient for creating a Pro level of photo editor which is not present in any other Android tool.
Icon Maker: Combined with a simple and intuitive Icon Maker tool for Android developers, MatCon, LayerMask has the capabilities of becoming the best Icon Maker. Design your foreground on LayerMask and simply push them to MatCon to generate your ic_launcher for different densities.
Note: Photo editing is a memory consuming task, so please adjust your preview quality and download resolution from Settings in LayerMask before complaining any random crashes. I have done my best optimizing memory.
<b>*Key Features*</b>
Image Editor
Unlimited Layers
Cut/Erase tool
Crop/ Rotate tool
Photo Scaling, Size and Horizontal/Vertical positioning
Image tuning using basic tools like brightness, contrast, temperature, saturation, sharpness, blur adjustment tools
Image blending, merge tools
Inner/ Outer glow, Shadows
Support for different resolutions
Icon Maker
Adding text
Inbuilt set of free and open source clipart and colored icons
Saving tasks to be worked upon later on
and many more....
<b>What's Next :</b>
1. I plan to provide a dedicated Image editor in the near future to allow adding inbuilt filters and a more powerful photo tuner along side our Layering tool.
2. Inbuilt set of backdrops and masks.
3. Ability to use custom fonts
I are not currently providing any inbuilt backdrops and masks as I want users to innovate and create their own masks and blend them into their layers. Try bringing the best out of creativity.
The idea for LayerMask came in while developing MatCon icon maker, to fulfill the need of adding layers into our Icons. But finally I thought of adding a simple photo editor in it to add awesomeness to each of the layers, which I plan to update in near future.
Why the pricing?
Well that's quite obvious, LayerMask as well as all the other Android apps from E-Soft has been developed single handed by a single developer and the pricing is just to support the development.
Trust me there might be flaws, but I plan to keep looking into your issues with my best as much as possible and too expect the same patience from your end.
Please let me know if you have used LayerMask to design icons or edit your photos. I would love to hear from you !!
Please rate the app 5 stars (*****). Please email me any issues before giving any negative feedback on Google Play Store. Again, please note that the app has been developed single handed.
Thanks for your support !!
If you have any feedback or questions, please email ( [email protected] )
No reviews?? !!
