There is a big tradeoff in resolution and available layers—I'm working on images about 3500px x 2400px and am limited to 7 layers. So I wouldn't recommend it for particularly large or complicated pieces. That said, I haven't found too many limits as far as the level of detail—the brushy look of my pieces is more my working style than any limitations of the medium. The app does crash somewhat frequently (about once every couple of hours), but I've never lost work after a crash.
