As a graphic designer this app is alone worth the purchase of my new phone. Fantastic. One thing I really like is that I can email a sketch direct in photoshop-format.

Sketchbook is not available anymore. Anyone know why?

Ah — I love this app but can’t find my saved images. What’s going on? I have an HTC Droid Incredible with 2.2 capacity and I purchased the $.99 Autodesk Sketchbook Mobile but I can’t find the images I work on anywhere!! It let’s me “save and exit” but no clue where my work is. HELP!

Emily – to find your images, on android, it saves them in your Gallery. check the docs at sketchbooknews.com for any questions you have. all the help docs for their apps and the desktop version of sketchbook are there.

Michal – sketchbook is available. go to sketchbooknews.com for info on the different versions and how to get it. they’ve got mac store versions, you can get it on amazon, and there are app versions for iphone, ipad, and android. it’s definitely not dead!

Hey i have a htc sensation, and was wondering what is the best stylus pen for detailed parts of the image?

Personally, I like the Targus stylus.
