Yeah... The thing is, the current UI isn't really good for small screens, so when we teamed up with Google to bring Krita to Android and ChromeOS, we only targeted large-screen devices.

We are trying to add a UX suitable for small-screen devices, but... Google changes Android so often and so weirdly that the guy working on Krita on Android pretty much spends all his time chasing those changes instead of designing a small-screen friendly UI.

To be fair, Clip Studio Paint also for the most part chose to port the desktop UI to Android instead of something more touch-friendly, didn't they?
Oh shit I just bought my kid a Moto G Stylus and Krita was part of our game-plan. Is there a bounty I can donate to for this?
You can still sideload it, but a phone-suitable UX is going to take a year, or two, three.
Great, thanks!
I've been trying it on the stylus but it is difficult - f-droid hosts it I think.
