As I was randomly searching the google play store on my phone, I came across an app called GIMP Inkscape. Sounds interesting but I don't think I'd use it. Has anyone else used it?

It's a poor attempt,
at combining 2 applications into one installer for Android phones.
This does not install one app.
It is a single installer,
which installs Gimp and Inkscape.

It's my opinion,
that both Gimp and Inkscape.
Are not very practical applications to have on a phone.
I would not recommend downloading and installing this app.

Especially for a phone app. I was just curious since I was looking through my phone and found apps like that one and photoshop.

It is horrible. It is a Linux (ubuntu) Virtual Machine with Gimp 2.8/Inkscape embedded, running in the android machine. Takes up a lot of space. I had it in an Asus 'transformer'. The Asus died before I figured out how to uninstall it ;)

Needs at least a 10" tablet. There are some less-than-serious graphic apps for android, unfortunately the good ones are not free.
