Markers is a straightforward, multitouch drawing application for Android that supports pressure sensitivity. It is designed to work with most Android devices, utilizing the natural touch of your finger or a capacitive stylus to vary line thickness based on contact area. Note that it may take a short period of continuous use for the app to calibrate to your device's touch panel. If your device supports an active stylus, such as those on Samsung Galaxy Note or HTC Flyer, Markers will use the stylus’s built-in pressure sensitivity.
The app allows for multitouch painting, meaning you can draw with multiple fingers simultaneously—each finger creates its own line, supporting up to 5 touches on phones and 10 on tablets. Its interface is simple and kid-friendly, with all pen sizes and colors readily accessible on screen. Accidental touches, like those from resting hands, won’t interfere with drawing.
Markers integrates well with other apps, enabling you to share your creations or import images to draw over. The latest update, version 1.2, introduces highly requested features: pan and zoom functionality for easier navigation, adjustable brush sizes via long-press, and Android 4.4 immersive mode for a full-screen drawing experience.
For support, ideas, or to report issues, use the "Email Developer" option. You can also share your artwork via Google+. Markers is open source, with code available online. The developer appreciates user feedback and support.
FAQ: If your drawing appears black when saved, it’s due to the transparent background—this is normal and the drawing remains editable. For device-specific pressure sensitivity details, check the provided online resource.
