Ratings and Reviews
Amazing for drawing pictures of your animals
I got this app to use on a photo of my dog to add more defined lines so I would have an easier time sketching her and this app delivered exactly the result I needed! Honestly really impressed with it and would recommend it to everyone
Misleading poor first impression
App offers free trial for 12 months but when clicked takes you to the plans and no plan offering free 12 month trial are available
The app calls itself a sketchbook and all the ads pictures show pencil drawings but there are no drawing options.
Lets give it a try anyway
Developer Response ,
I am sorry for the confusion our app has created and I hope that the following information help. The annual subscription comes with a 14 day free trial. We will check for our messaging to see where the confusion originates from.
We hope that after the obviously rough start, our app can convince you that it worth more than 1/5 stars.
Discussing
Another selfish app developer taking advantage of subscriptions. This is not photoshop or anything close to it’s Caliber. It’s a gimmick, it’s weak, can force a Handful of LUTS on your image and that’s it. No way to test without buying a subscription.
If you apply to any place I work, and have this app on your CV, you will be used for the only thing you are good for; testing iPhone app battery length….
Developer Response ,
We are sorry to see that our app created such bad emotions.
Just to clarify some parts of your feedback:
(1) Graphite focusses on turning photos into Sketches. Color Filters (LUTs) are just an addition to it. Graphite does not present to be Photoshop, since it is about art image filters rather then image editing.
(2) You can use all filters for free. The premium version removes the watermark and enables higher resolution exports. In addition, it unlocks further editing tools, including the Color Filters.
(3) You can test all premium features for free, but not apply premium features in the free version. In addition, the annual subscription comes with a 14 day free trial, where one can use all premium features for free, too. Thus, one can see whether this app works well or not and either continue the subscription, switch to a monthly subscription, the one time payment or just quit using the app.
(4) It is way less expensive than Photoshop.
