This new app is too complicated. The brushes are not the same. Many people have been relying on the old app for business/ university purposes - also half way through project which countless hours of effort has been put in to with no way of continuing because the brushes aren't the same.

 

Not giving a warning as you open the app, and not transferring everything that was there over the new app has ruined any chance of users of the old app enjoying and embracing your new product.

 

Just revive the old app. Please.

Hi @Kaitlyn227464430l2w

 

Sorry to hear about your experience.

 

If your files didn't migrate to Fresco, you may try to locate your files on this website https://adobe.ly/3eoSI3p. If you can locate them, I would suggest you check out this video (https://bit.ly/3qfAz0Q). In this video, there are four methods to save your artwork, the first method will not work now, but you may try the rest three methods. I hope it helps!

 

If you are still unable to locate/ recover your files and Sketch & Draw is installed on your device, then send me a DM. To send a DM, click my picture and use the message button.

 

Regards,

Anshul Saini

I agree Fresco is way more complicated, part of the reason for that is many users keep asking for all the features of other apps to be added to Fresco. It used to be a much better app and had a totally different audience it was originally targeted towards.

 

There has been plenty of warning that Sketch/Draw were to be discontinued, and each time you opened the apps they had a link into Fresco. My thoughts are that people saw how different it was to the app of their choice so did not switch in a timely manner. If your images have not all transferred across I would suggest you contact the Development team directly through the app under App Settings > Help > Report a Bug.

The majority of people helping out on this forum are users ourselves, we don't work for Adobe and have no control over what they do with the apps they bring out or if they keep them running.

 

With regards to the brushes head on over to the Fresco UserVoice pages (also available through the Help section under Suggest a Feature) and add comments to the many others who want Fresco to replicate their Sketch/Draw experience with identical brushes.
