[Feature Request] Adobe Fresco for Android

[prubini87]

Hello,

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

hello adobe! I wonder why the fresco program comes first on ios but still not on android. I like this program very much, so I want it to come to Android, I'm sure there are studies on this subject, but until when? Please hurry up I got a new tablet and I just want to make some art.

There are pages and pages of requests on UserVoice for Fresco on Android. Android Tablet users are paying the same cost for a subscription that provides significantly less value. I assume Adobe has done the market research - if the numbers aren't there to justify fairly supporting Android customers, then give us the data so we can understand. Otherwise, give us the software. A little transparency goes a long way.

I have had luck using my Samsung S9+ tablet with Fresco, and being able to draw with Samsung's S pen on the tablet in Fresco.  Samsung has a built in feature on the tablet called "Second Monitor".  This allows me to start up Fresco on my Windows PC, and then using "Second Monitor", the Samsung tablet becomes a third monitor to the two I was already using on my Windows PC.  The catch is you can only use Fresco on the Android tablet when you have the tablet right next to the Windows PC.  The Windows PC I'm using is a laptop, so I could take this on the road, but its not as handy as if Fresco ran natively on the tablet.  This also allows me to use my tablet's pen in Lightroom CC.

When will the Adobe fresco Android application availabile ?

[Sjaani]

If you search through the forum you will notice this has been asked many times.

Adobe staff have indicated that it is being worked on, however they do not give release dates.

[Sue Garibaldi]

Hi Rene. 

I don't have a date, but we will eventually have an Android version of Fresco.

RushのAndroid版リリース時も期待していたのに、手持ちの機種では対応外でがっかりしたという事がありました。

あまり対応機種を限定しないでオープンに使えるようになるといいですね。

It would be nice to have an approx month... maybe date/month? I like the app use i have seen but prefer android- non apple product costs.

[AJAY75]

Better be before January since you're killing the other apps then and I'm not buying into Crapple just for the Adobe Suite. God, I hate that company. Perhaps keep the other apps operational until everyone's covered? Only makes sense.

[Raphael Correa]

Yeah, considerend it's been passed two years after lauch, might get us to Android community of artists and creators sometime between 2022 and the end of the Universe.
At least would be honest if you (Adobe) admit that you're not even working on this and probably it's an Apple's exclusive.
This feels just plain disrespect to a large part of your customers. Thanks for nothing.

[Émission TV]

totally. more than 1000 votes and no sign. 

They definitely are exclusive, and I wish they were honest with it. 

[LESouthwood]

Exactly! That's why I cancelled my subscription. I paid $52.99 before taxes monthly for dozens of unnecessary and useless apps and not one has mobile draw capabilities for Android? How you discontinue mobile apps Android users used for years without an explanation or replacement; introduce Fresco which excludes mobile illustration capabilities for Android aka short changing Android users whose money spends just like Android users; ghost requests for a launch date or context regarding why Android is being blatantly excluded from vital mobile functions.

If Adobe had an ounce of integrity they would have featured a response that wasn't two years old. Or better yet, provided all of their customers with this same amenities. 

[aniblade]

Yes, here we are four years since the launch of Fresco and still no solution for drawing for the Android side.  This is terrible and embarrassing, Adobe!  Come on! You appear not to care about a huge part of your customer base!  If this continues, people will seek out other programs and possibilities.  Is that what you guys want?  DaVinci is looking really good right now....

[DaveJCummings]

Right now, Fresco's biggest competitor is Procreate which is available only on iPad. I get it, its frustrating. As I said before, the fragmented nature of Android with so many different versions of the software out there makes it ridiculously difficult to develop for and make it bug free. Not to start an Android vs Apple debate, but the reason why it probably came to iPad first is because it's all running iPadOS where 99% are on the current build and there's consistency with processors. Windows came next, because there can be differences with graphic cards and some machines may not be running the most current build, but it's the same Windows. With Android, there's versions all over the place with device manufacturers having their own version of Android. It makes things really difficult. And when they do release it to Android, it's more than likely be very limited to what devises run it

[Scottington]

Yeah, this was over two years ago, and they haven't even bothered to give any update on this issue despite how upset so many of their paying customers are (and they have every right to be). They could at least come out and say with certainty that it's not coming to Android. That'd at least be a decent way to communicate with their customers instead of trying to lead them around by their noses.

[defaultyx2vgpbti2u6]

Eventually?? I think eventually I'll cancel my Creative Cloud! It can't be that I've been paying the same money as iOs users for 2 years and can't use almost any app on my Android device. Instead, I now have to buy other programs to be able to draw. I am a 1-woman company and cannot and do not want to buy overpriced devices like the iPad. I'm very disappointed and angry! I've been using Photoshop and Illustrator on PC for many years and I really like the programs. But that's not how it works!

[jamhorne]

I think it's safe to say this is not the correct answer. Anyone equally as frustrated should head to their Instagram page after you leave the forum specifically made for us to yell into the void about not being able to create because the software subscription we pay for pulled the rug from under us.

[Michael2356933486w2]

What exactly does eventually look like?  Is it still in the pipe?  

[Michael24097863qumw]

SMFH feels like you're pulling our leg. It isn't good business practice not to listen to a decent part of your customers, as they are part of why you're in business. This situation should've been addressed long ago. Doing things like this makes once reliable customers leave your business alone. Please fix this yesterday because for this to be on the iPad only and not androids like my Galaxy Tab S7 shows a lack of respect for your loyal customers to even newer customers like myself. I love that it works with my computer but I'm on the move a lot and would prefer to use my tablet while I'm out. Thanks and have an awesome day, stay blessed

[LESouthwood]

Exactly, and I have said as much on several forums. This is why I cancelled my subscription. The idea that you can charge people $53 per month to use services, take away a user-friendly illustration app and replace it with an Apple only app speaks volumes. And they no shame because they have yet to explain why there is no Android mobile illustration application, they just keep promising to supply one. They've had years to solve this, and they haven't, not because they can't but because they won't; they don't respect Android customers. Our money spends just like everybody else's so why are they depriving Android users of the convenience of having a mobile illustration app?

So what's up with that Android version??? I postponed buying Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra since I want to use it mostly for drawing but... there's no Adobe app for doing that. I love Adobe products but it really sucks I can't enjoy all the apps I pay for. So... Is it ever going to be released or what?
