The release we pushed on June 30th on Google Play has resulted in serious issues for users on Android 11. They manifested most commonly as crashes and a disconnection between the Sketchbook Gallery and files, causing problems viewing and saving files.

We know that this release has been stressful, frustrating, and deeply angering to everyone affected.

We identified the cause of the problem and have a fix ready to go.

Answers to some of your questions

We appreciate all the messages we’ve received in the past week - thank you. It’s been incredibly positive to see all the excitement and energy for Sketchbook’s future. We’ve also received a lot of questions!

It’s important to us that we are transparent, so here are some comments on things we’ve heard.

We’re excited to announce that the app formerly known as Autodesk SketchBook has spun out and is now Sketchbook.

Wait, what?

The Sketchbook app has a long history, but it was always just one part of a bigger company. First of Alias|Wavefront and later Autodesk, where it grew from desktop to mobile and tablet and became beloved by over 10 million people around the world.

Now Sketchbook is the company. We’re an independent entity, wholly focused on the app, its users, and its future.
