Microsoft store: the UWP version of Sketchbook previously distributed by Autodesk through the Microsoft Store could not be transferred due to technical dependencies on the store backend. People who have the Autodesk version can continue to use it, but it will not be updated. Those looking for ongoing support and feature updates should get our Sketchbook Pro release Mac App Store: the Mac app cannot be transferred due to a technical dependency with the Application Group Container. IOS App Store: People who originally downloaded from the iOS App Store for iPhone & iPad will receive future updates from us and will not have to download again, however the connection to the Autodesk iCloud folder will be severed (more details on accessing your iCloud files here) Google Play: People who originally downloaded Autodesk Sketchbook from Google Play will receive future updates from us and will not have to download again Here’s what we understand as of the moment: There has been a lot of progress, but there are still some unknowns. Sketchbook is available on multiple stores and the transition will not be the same for each app due to platform specifics. “Will I need to download Sketchbook again?” But for those of you who have asked, no, we are not going to go to a subscription model. We need to make some money in order to pay the development costs for the cool stuff you guys want, need, and expect.

“Are you going to charge for Sketchbook?”

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