Fresco for Android?

[LynSwinger]

My byline use to be "life without Adobe is not worth living".

I am just glad I didn't get the tatoo.

I have had photoshop and most of the Creative Suite since each was invented.

Open to all across platforms it has been the basis of my Graphic design working life.

BUT REALLY...Apple only for Fresco?

It is a bad look for a company who is the go to for a large section of creatives.

Years, no decades of singing your praises and the reward is to be left out of this exceptionally important tool.

I have waited paitently for when you are going back to your Creative Suite for everyone philosophy but going through chats like this it is never going to happen.

Very dissapointing and makes me and many many others who don not drink the cool aid crap that Apple is the only choice for creatives starting to look around.

I notice no one replies to any of these criticism around Fresco's availability so won't hold my breath.

Cheers,

Lyn

Fresco isn't ONLY for Apple and it's not even on all Apple devices,  it's not on Macs as much as I'd love to see it on Macs. It's also available on Windows devices.  It came out first for Apple devices because iPadOS and iOS devices have very similar specifications and 95%+ use the most recent version of the OS. It came out slightly later for Windows devices, because there's more variation in terms of processors,  graphic cards, and capability, so much that there's a list of Window devices that can use it. Android is like the Wild west, there's devices all over the place with wildly different capabilities and using multiple versions of the OS, which even that gets even more skewed because of the versions of the OS that are altered for certain manufacturer's devices.  It's not that they don't want it on Android, they want Fresco in as many hands as possible.  But the more variations make it increasingly more difficult to develop, because as much as they want Fresco in as many hands as possible, they also want to make sure that it works.  If anything, I can see it coming to the Galaxy Tab devices,  but if it ever comes to Android, it's going to be very limited to where it is.  As I told others in the past, if you want it on Android, go to the suggest features thing Adobe has (don't know the link off the top of my head) and suggest it.

They took away the two apps we could use just fine five years ago and still haven't replaced it? This situation is stupid and was avoidable.

Fresco isn't ONLY for Apple. I use it concurrently on my IPad, and on my Windows desktop computer with a graphic tablet. It works extremely well, and I appreciate the convenience of using it on a 13.3 tablet screen with shortcuts on the express key that replace the Ipad's gestures.

Every gesture on an Ipad screen have a shortcut assigned, so even if you don't have express keys (or a remote thingy) you can use the app with your standard keyboard and even with a non-screen graphic tablet.
