Ratings and Reviews
lots of potential, ruined by paywalls
this app is really great, it has a ton of potential for those looking to do warmups or studying. however, this potential is only really apparent when you fork over money. i understand the developers need money in return for their work, it’s totally fair, but if you were to imagine this app’s content as a mountain, the amount you’re given without paying is equivalent to a few pebbles. i don’t understand the point in making the app free if everything worthwhile is paywalled.
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.
