Ratings and Reviews
Nice app!!
Love the app but too much money but other than that great!!
One of a kind drawing app
I used to draw when I was in junior high, then life happened. Recently got a ‘hand me down’ Apple Pencil and I discovered this app. The trace assist is really used for someone who wants to learn how to draw. The creator doesn’t just makes you make mindless strokes but they teach us with making basic shapes/silhouettes and then perfect it from there. I make sure to use the free drawing everyday to have a routine and a week later I feel more confident with my strokes. I would definitely keep up with this since I feel confident in few weeks I would be able to draw few things without the trace assist and ultimately without any visual assistance. Kudos to the creator for such an extensive library of drawings for every taste / genre!
Crashes as it opens
I have a brand new iPad pro, and this app won’t open.
