Hi GIMPies!

Is there an official gimp for android?
I was searching google play store and then i found a suspicious gimp from 'userland technologies' that costs 2.19 euro...

If it's not on the official website, it meand it's not official?

Gimp is FOSS, anyone can sell Gimp (but of course you have to compete with other providers that give it for free). I don't think the Gimp name is protected either (trademark and such like) so anyone can sell anything and call it "Gimp". I never tried Gimp for Android, but either:
  • It is a very different software that usurps the name
  • It's a very scaled down version
  • It doesn't run locally but on some cloud server, all you get on your phone/terminal is a front-end
None of these possibilities looks palatable.

No! (that's a short answer Wink )
There is no official GIMP on Android nor iOS
