App tech issues

Hi I was just trying out this new app I discovered on my iPad when I downloaded and went into the app the screens were blank therefore I can’t see the canvas or anything paint settings to show on the screen I also did a few strokes with my apple pencil and it ended up glitch me back to the Home Screen, so I tried it on my iPhone and it did really well as it was supposed to be shown when I download but I was hoping if The app can be fixed for iPads Because this app seems interesting to test out as an Artist and looking forward to what it can do, thank you for your time 👋🙂

Do you know if your iPad has an A12X or newer processor (iPad 8th gen or iPad Pro 2018 or newer)? I am trying to add a warning pop up but I can't seem to prevent downloads from incompatible devices. In any case, I'm sorry you're having trouble!

This app is awesome!! its sorta like a physical-modelling painting app that still feels digital in an endearing way. some very unpredictable or rather unexpected behaviors in some tools. ui is kinda clunky and confusing, some buttons not so responsive and it gets laggy and buggy now and then but i love the concept, i love the execution, i love it! i wish u would never leave this behind and i hope i get to see it bloom into a flushed out mature app some day

Developer Response
Thank you! That was such a thoughtful and kind review. I hope to find more time to work on this app in the near future and rework a lot of the UI and simplify things.

I use M2 ipad pro 12.9To the developer, I want to see this app mature cand succeed. I would have given you a million dollars if i could. I would want this app to be in my company. But pressently im a poor bastard student who is looking to dropout anytime now and build my business.Keep up the good work.

Caused my iPad to shut down

Okay, this is an interesting app. It's a tweaker's delight (if you're a person who spends days tweaking the sound of a synthesizer but never actually make music, this is the art app for you).…The brush settings are amazing, in an overwhelming tech way. Color mixing here is wonderful, maybe better than Adobe Fresco's live brushes.…The canvas size is small. I tried creating a large one and that caused not only the app but my device to shut down. As soon as I rebooted I deleted the app. Bummer. So much potential. Great ideas. Someone else needs to get involved with the development to make this a useful painting app.

Thank you, this is the most flattering 1 star review I could hope for! Your feedback helps! Creating huge textures can be a problem for ipadOS. I’ll try to prevent that! The next version, 3.8, will set a maximum size of 25 megapixels

Set a maximum canvas size of 25 megapixels, to avoid problems with excessive memory usage.
