Sony Sketch
At the end of 2018, Sony decided to shut down Sketch and let the entire team go.  Users were notified of the shutdown on April 23rd, 2019. The team   attempted to buy out the app and continue it outside of Sony, but failed. Despite the app shutting down, more people continued to use it, and community activity increased over the summer of 2019. During the app's final months, more than one million posts were shared each week.
