[Feature Request] Fresco for Android

[Karl5C91]

Come on Adobe. It's 2023, how do you not have android compatibility yet?

[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。

[imaginebee]

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?

[Quynh275760568o0q]

I would like to report this comment because this is a lie. It's the end of 2022 now, and in 16 days it will be 2023. Still no news or anything for Android version.

[aniblade]

Why is Adobe ghosting a huge part of its customer base?  This is crazy!  I have been engaged with Adobe products from their very beginning.  I've never seen them treat paying customers this badly.  They need to wake up before competitors start to bite into their base.  Do they really want to be just an Apple company?  That would be a serious mistake!

[DaveJCummings]

No, they definitely want to be in all hands as possible. If they wanted to be Apple only, they wouldn't have Fresco for Windows. I mean they don't even have a version of the app for the Mac. They want to make sure it runs as great and bug free as possible. And really, if they made one for the Android, the only device I could see it being compatible with is the Galaxy Tab

[Katharina24041440jj9b]

Is there un update of the fresco android progess?

[Artisan Impressionz]

I have a Huion brand monitor and interactive touch pen. I would LOVE to be able to use Fresco, but I see it is currently only available for Apple and Wacom products. Will Fresco ever be available for the type of monitor I have? 

[HerveMaas]

There is Fresco for Windows. So you can work with it. Now let's hope for an Android version quick because I really want to ditch that crappy iPad

[aniblade]

Yes!  I totally agree!

[default547kxqmzozsz]

Where is the basic logic within the Adobe business model concerning it's software product support pathway?  Dropping Adobe Draw and removing vector Export and then not offering Fresco (and when they do it will be lesser than the full version) for Andriod users is monumentally going to be crippling from millions of small businesses and freelanceer.

Android users garnish circa 72% of the world market share of devices whilst Apple own a meager 26% of the market share, and yet Apple users for some reason get the cream of the crop for useability on their devices agains Android.

If nothing else, Adobe are missing out on $£Billions in revenue by cutting off the product support for Android users across the world SO I ask this to the CEO, CFO, COO and their Boardmembers... WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

[DaveJCummings]

I think with these apps, Apple's OS tend to get features first because the devices are running the same version of the OS, it makes it so much easier to develop for and perfect.  Windows and Android come later because of so many variations of the OS, a lot of the devices are not running the same version of the OS, some are running versions that are several years old and with that wide variety of the OS, it makes it extremely difficult to develop for it, because they need to make sure of the device limitations.  Which is why when Fresco rolled out to Windows, there was a small number of devices that slowly grew.  I get it,  you want Fresco on Android,  it's eventually going to come.  But do you want to wait to have a version that works properly and flawlessly on your device?  Or do you want it now and have a version that is potentially so buggy that it's unusable?
