About this tool
Sketchbook (the Autodesk-born, now independent app) is the minimalist sketchpad: a quiet UI, perspective guides, and a predictive stroke that steadies lines. It runs on iPad and almost everywhere else.
The right first app when someone is scared of Procreate's menus. The desktop SKU is a separate purchase. Do not expect Clip Studio's comic tools.
