[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?

I REALLY hope so

[SaberRusty]

I'm hoping it comes out soon as I haven't had as much fun drawing with other apps after losing access to Photoshop Sketch.

PS was a great app and while I couldn't draw images with an alpha layer, it let me draw smoother lines than the apps I've had to fall back on like Infinite Painter and its tools were easier to use.  I think it was a ridiculous choice to shut it and the accompanying apps in that suite down across all platforms ("Execute Order 66" comes to mind) and not consider the fact that maybe half of the user base will feel abandoned and go elsewhere for quite a while / not return.

The intelligent thing to do would have been to let Android users use them still, at least until Fresco was developed.  Then you could abandon those apps on Android, either leaving them in the app store but say you no longer offer support for them, or do the removal maneuver you've already done.

While I doubt it is likely to happen, I still have Photoshop Sketch installed, just incase who ever it was that made the decision realises this simple correction, and how it could help Adobe save some face.

Is there any chance for Android version of Fresco coming this year? I love Adobe products but not having them on my android tablet is just... to be gentle: very irritating.

I feel like Adobe is just begging their customers to move to Procreate. The apps are glitchy and need  onstant updating, fresco is so limited in device compatability. Error messages that are provided when things are not working arent' even close to helping the user figure out what the problem is. support is basi ally non-existent. for the money charged - you should be ashamed of yourselves adobe.

It was truly a poor decision on Adobe's part to make adobe draw completely un useable after the sun set. I would have atleast thought they would have still let us use it and it's functions just with no updates.

I used it religiously on my galaxy note now the app does nothing or atleast have fresco on android also.In my opinion Adobe alienated android users from using a great application with out a replacement. Specially for designers that use phones like the note and so far I have looked on the net for a alternative and nothing compares or does the same functions.

Android users shouldn't have to go out and buy a new device specially an apple device just to utilize these tools.

I hope adobe atleast let's us use Draw again just with out updates or releases fresco to android.

This was fine and dandy when is Adobe going to release the Android version?

[Colin25772625e1eh]

I would also love an answer to this question! We've been out an Adobe sketching app on Andriod for over a year now, and the radio silence is very frustrating.

It's easier said than done. No slight to Android, but the fractured nature of its OS, with devices being all over the place with what version of Android and manufacturers making their own version of Android for their own devices make it ridiculously difficult to develop for Android and not have bugs. And if they did, it might be limited to a very few devices. I get it though. I'd love to see that come out for Android, I want it out to as much devices as possible.

[Colin25772625e1eh]

I appreciate your point and, 5+ years ago, I would have agreed with this sentiment, but even when this was posted in 2019 Google was working to standardize things. With updates to display scaling/background process controls/permissions management and guaranteed updates for years from all major providers, I think it's difficult to support the argument that android fragmentation is the root cause anymore. 

That said, I would be willing to accept that if we had any kind of roadmap or communication at all after years of waiting. At this point, I think it's pretty fair for android users to feel abandoned.

it's the 5th of april 2023... 4 years have passed... android users are still watchin this thread in anger xD
adobe... come on... you caaaan't be seriousssss 

[Corey28139946oze8]

Right?! I truly don't see why they didn't just keep it or keep it with
minimum updates or just not update it.. still no apps that do the same
thing either.

[icarohenrick]

Oh Come on!
Almost 2024 here!

[Knopfdruck]

dingdingding... 2024 -- anybody home ?

Is Fresco coming to Android? I would like to use it on a Galaxy Note 9, but if it's not going to be possible I prefer not to get my hopes up.

What does this mean, I do not understand

[kglad]

it means you posted in the wrong forum and i moved your post to the correct forum.

[DaveJCummings]

Fresco was never available on Android.  As far as I know, its not being developed for Android at the moment.  I could be totally wrong.

[Apex27218440uwm1]

yeah, maybe so i'm wrong thanks for the answer

[kglad]
