Description
Available exclusively on the App Store, meticulously designed to be beautifully powerful, and painstakingly engineered for iPhone — Inspire delivers an incredibly fast and realistic painting, drawing, and sketching experience that you can take with you wherever you go and use whenever inspiration strikes.
Our proprietary painting engine Sorcery™ takes full advantage of the GPU to render brush strokes with brilliant 64-bit colour, laser-sharp sub-pixel precision, and insanely fast speed. While the strokes of a wet oil paint brush look beautiful on their own, the breathtaking blending effects of a dry brush will absolutely stun you. Graze the canvas with just a bit of pressure to add a subtle blur to your artwork or use stronger pressure to actually mix existing colours on the canvas together to create new ones.
Whether you are a budding artist, seasoned professional, or somewhere in-between, you will enjoy the simplicity and power of the most intuitive and compelling illustration app for iPhone, Inspire.

What’s New
Version 4.8.2
This update contains several bug fixes and small improvements as we continually work toward refining the app to maintain its high quality.
Ratings and Reviews
Fun, but buggy.
I really enjoy the app, the painting is realistic and fun to do. However it can be buggy.
Occasionally the app will freeze, and I can’t do anything besides restarting it; which is discouraging because the autosave isn’t as frequent as I’d like, meaning that I’ll reopen it and my previous work is undone.
I wouldn’t call these “app-ruining” by any means and I heartily recommend you to try it out no matter your skill level. At the very least, the blending here is better than in any other app I’ve tried. They’re just frustrating. Plus it’s great to see a replay of your work.
To the developer(s):
First of all, thank you for taking the time to reply to my review and address the issue that I was having - I greatly appreciate it. Like I’ve stated, it’s a fun and unique app that I greatly enjoy and it’s great to know that it’s being actively improved.
Shortly after writing the review I did try closing all my background apps and restarting my phone, and to my knowledge I haven’t been thrown out. Mistake on my part for not removing that.

Hi ocean dad,
Thank you for the feedback, we hope that we have fixed the freezing bug and it will appear in the next update.
As for the app occasionally throwing you out, have you tried shutting down all other apps running in the background and then restarting your device by any chance?
Great app
Brilliant at what it does, I don't even use it for drawing, I edit things in and out of photos with it, if you have the skill this is a very useful little app for that. Been using it since it came out. Only has one major flaw for me, the undo buttons only work about 10% of the time. So when trying to undo you end up putting dots all around the buttons instead of pressing it. That completely puts me off the iPhone version but, the iPad version is completely fine. definitely worth a try in my opinion. And if you don't like it, well.. It's not as if your strapped for choice of paint apps
Love it!
I’m no expert, but I’m having so much fun learning to paint digitally with this app.
Developer Response ,
