However, if you only have an iPhone, drawing on the smaller screen without the benefit of an Apple Pencil can be cumbersome and time-consuming. In that instance, I'd give it 4.5 out of 5 stars. Having the option to draw on the go on your iPhone is nice and you can always refine it later on the iPad. If you own both devices, it's a seamless experience to go from one to the other and having the option to use either is fantastic. iPhone Adobe Fresco review: Final VerdictĪdobe Fresco is a polished drawing app for both iPad and now the iPhone. However, you do get access to Adobe Photoshop with the $9.99 per month fee, so that's something to take into account if you're worried about the value.

While the Starter Plan may be sufficient for you, or maybe you already have a paid Adobe subscription, but that's $120 a year for everyone else. While Fresco is free with a Starter Plan, if you want to unlock the premium features or have more cloud storage, you'll need to upgrade to paying at least $9.99 a month. I'm sure I could get used to it with enough practice, but not having pressure sensitivity means a lot of extra steps of constantly adjusting the brush size, and the inaccuracy of drawing with a fingertip can be annoying. Maybe I'm just not accustomed to drawing with my fingertip or traditional stylus, or maybe I'm spoiled from using larger graphics tablets with pressure-sensitive pens, but drawing on a phone was pretty difficult. While I do thoroughly enjoy drawing in Adobe Fresco on my 12.9-inch iPad Pro, using it on my iPhone 12 is kind of a lackluster experience.
