Magic Poser - Art Pose Tool 12+

Close to perfect!

Im a professional illustrator and use this app often, ive been using it on a 2015 ipad pro for reference and apart from a few niggles it is the best on ipad ive used and a reasonable proce too :) , a few niggles here and there are offset by the overall quality of the app - if i could suggest a few things- (1) the ability to place a marker in place you can jump back to when you have to move about and rearrange stuff and then not been able to find the exact viewpoint you where previously using (2) the ability to have a list of objects in the scene such as man 1, woman 2, bike 1, cylinder 1 etc, to be able to click on and have instant control over rather than accidentally touching one element and pulling it slightly out of pose and having to rearrange it (3) the ability to lock in place your highlighted elements in the list, i.e. keep a figure in place so you can manoeuvre the camera around without worry of pulling it out of place. Anyway, looking forward to seeing what else is added in the future! I also go by dinsdaleart on ig and theres a scene i used this app for of a tombraider-esque girl leaping a canyon on a motorbike that i used as direct reference from a scene i created in this app!

Good but can use tweaking and more items added

This is great for me to create poses to help me draw. You have a large amount of control of your characters position and body parts e.g. can rotate and curl characters fingers to wrap around objects. The main issue I have with this is that I feel it just needs more. I would love more objects like weapons, more furniture, scenes, hair for certain characters (the non anime ones) and I would love to have more customisation of body proportions and facial structure e.g. expressions and eye colour, able to control eyelids. Some issues with trying to select objects to move can be really clunky but other than that it’s a great app if you want to use it to help you make creative poses for art or if you want to just have some fun.

(Great to see the response from the developer saying more is coming. Can’t wait to see the new features when they eventually come out.)

Edit: Thank you for your updated review! Hope you look forward to our next updates! | We are working on more clothing, hair and more but it is just taking time to perfect! We will be adding more customization options, but that is also taking extra time to plan and implement. Eye color and expressions are coming as well, and is our new models will be the first to get them.

3 stars. 2 reasons why.

I got this in late 2020 - I think.. anyways, I used it alll the time. I even used to to create something for technology class in y7 at school idk. I had a lot of fun making up scenarios and families and mini stories just with one pose and a few characters. I would save up all of my wombat coins to get furniture and clothing I liked too!! Everything was free and there was no ads! It was probably the best mobile app I’d ever gotten (unless you count roblox but that’s beyond the point). Then I stopped using it for a while. When I came back to the app I saw it had a whole cool new update with added shades and a whole new layout. Then I discovered you had to pay to add more characters and assets. What happened to the wombat coins?? :((
Anyways if it’s ok I would like to have more free stuff and the daily wombat coins!! I understand you need money but tbh I stopped using the app when I had to pay for stuff with money I absolutely do NOT have, I claimed the loyalty reward too and that was nice :) thank you for your time

Thank you for your feedback, we’re glad to hear that you enjoyed using our old app! In regards to our new pricing model, we’d like to explain what led to the change in hopes that you will better understand our decision and pricing like hundreds of thousands of users who embraced our change towards a much better Magic Poser.


As you’ve remembered, our old app offered many, many things for free, from most of our models, to essentially all of our features, and as a result, we simply weren’t making enough money to keep updating and maintaining the app, even with our Wombat Coin feature. Developing and maintaining a high quality 3D app such as this is incredibly time consuming and expensive, especially with a team as small as ours.


As a result, we had to make a change, because if we were to continue using the old pricing system, Magic Poser very likely wouldn’t be here today. It was a difficult process, but we made the right decision this time, as it has helped make our small team financially stable and has allowed us to continue implementing more amazing features and improvements for the app, and for our users like you!


However, we will keep your thoughts in mind for our future updates. If you have any other feedback or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to email us at support@magicposer.com or chat with us in real-time on our Discord: https://discord.gg/rnsERCqyzv. We’re more than happy to help you further!
