Report · Sep 26, 2019

Hello,

Is Adobe Fresco coming to Android? If it is, are there any release dates yet or perhaps even a beta tester program?

Thanks for your interest in Fresco. As of now Fresco is only available for iPad but we're working on developing the app for other platforms and devices. I'll definitely pass on your feedback to the product team.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Regards,

I would love an Android version as well! Seems a shame ipad users have procreate and now there's another app that's exclusively iOS. Bummer.

Adobe favors Apple. Not Android.

It isn't ever coming and never will

Apple and Adobe both suck. Corporate bull, yet the support people always come acting like they care of have a say what their corporation does

I'm chiming in as an Android developer who has built complex Android apps for a living since past 8 years. From my past experience I have worked at companies that made a "deal" with Apple where new apps and features are released for iOS first. The apps and features are "allowed" to be released on Android 1-2 years after the iOS version is out. In return Apple gives discounts on Apple products. When I worked at such companies it would infuriate me that the Android users would leave bad reviews for the apps I'm working on, simply because I was not allowed to work on features that the iOS app already has. It would piss me off so much when I was finally allowed to work/release the new features on Android I made sure I make the UI and UX better than the iOS version. It was my mid finger to Apple and the unfair treatment to Android users.

This Fresco situation sounds pretty much like what I've seen before. Adobe has probably made a nice deal with Apple to receive new products on discount and in return they would ignore the Android users. Its really messed up.

Makes sense and honestly figured there was a deal, but thanks for the insider info/perspective

It also seems like a bad deal for Adobe since they're getting all the flack, especially since it seems like most iPad artists talk about procreate and not fresco...

It's especially bs because draw is being deleted and I can't even save my projects easily.

Not gonna lie, sketch being removed is the only reason I want fresco. If they're not gonna make fresco for Android at least keep adobe sketch on there.

Uservoice has tons of requests for Android support and Adobe doesn't even have the courtesy to respond to customer requests on whether Adobe intends to develop Fresco for Android or not.

I have the exact same problem! I have an Samsung Galaxy S6 Lite Tab and Adobe DRAW was the only reason why I gotten it in the first place. And since. Even though we all are a bit anxious about this, we're going to have to deal with it... While I've been waiting for it, I've been using a different drawing app called ibisPaint X in the meantime. It has a lot more features than Adobe Draw! I'd recommend it if you want to try it out.

Here's a link!

Found a fix, change the date to an earlier year and you can keep it

This has completely screwed me. I built my whole animation studio around adobe. I can't hand draw my stuff directly on my tablet and link to my desktop now. Huge mess for me. I have to rework my whole workload.

I'm completely furious.

Adobe deserves the slap in the face that Apple users gave them about this app. Procreate has been available forever. It was poor planning to not go Android first. Again, or as always, Adobe abandons Android users.

I will say I was shocked that they managed to release the app on windows, even before Android; and I have a Surface Book 2, I can definitely get lost in this app. However, with all the money flowing into Adobe, when releasing new apps, you'd think they could just release a really well-built, multi-platform app (pretty sure we wouldn't mind if you released them together but it took longer, just plan your announcements better..maybe not on Apple's schedule). It's 2020, I think they do a lot of Beta testing for apps that are already available (Lightroom, for example) but they don't released both OSs at the same time frame, we're talking a year apart (looking at Spark and more than likely, Fresco and Aero too). I just don't understand that. Android/Windows users' money isn't the same as Apple, fine...but it would give them a bigger advantage and loyalty if they did that seemingly simple change in releasing new software. The old box model was released to everyone at once 😕 just sayin'.
I jumped on the subscription because I wasn't old enough/had a job to cover the expense of the old Master Collection...but I am a cross-platform when it comes to my work (macs at my job; windows and android personally) but having to wait a year to be able to utilize some things that I am technically paying for Apple users to benefit from?? It's messed up. Anyway, enough ranting, I can hardly wait to be able to use my phone to continue my fresco fun. Keep us patiently waiting...

I'm very disappointed, it's like a discrimination to sell a pack at the same price but not for the same service.

We are tired to wait ...

Give us a date !

Fresco and Photoshop on my tab it's essential for work more quickly and everywhere. I'm very close to boycotting you, just like apple you don't listen to your customers ... 😣

Exactly! I wouldn't be surprised if Apple was buying them out of something. It's hard to believe that they'd be stupid enough to ice out half their consumer base if there wasn't something in it for them...
