Great App, but..

This app is exactly what I was looking for. I do have one website I use online for references when drawing but this made it so much more easier and there’s so many image categories to choose from. I can practice drawing pretty much anything. I will say though, even though this is a great and there are lots of things to draw and practice, for some of the images they use seem like AI to me. Some artist may not want to support anything pertaining AI. Also for some pictures they use a lot of the same model, which, that’s fine, but beware of that if you want a lot of diversity.

I love this app! The problem is it is no longer working! I have subscribed for a year on May 23,2024. I keep getting a message of an unrecognized character, it’s in RED. Seems important. I have reached out every day in the last week and have not received an answer. I did notice that there is a revision of this app that includes a different price structure. Is this the reason my app is no longer working. I am looking for a way to solve this problem. What is the sense of having an app you charge for and no longer working…. Seems fishy to me. Always easy to ignore the problem as long as you have the money. Also I really like this app so it matters to me. I have used this app for a few years WHAT HAPPENED?THANK YOU! It’s working great and I am so happy the problem was resolved! It’s a great app for practicing figure drawing!

This is an awesome app for quick gesture drawing or practicing any drawing really. The developers are actively improving the app and now include a reference gallery for you to use. You can even link your own Pinterest boards as reference.My only request would be to create another layer similar to photoshop. I want to be able to draw some quick sketch lines and then draw over them with more refinement and turn off the sketch lines when finished.

Thank you for your feedback. We will surely work on your request. 😊

Most useful art app since photoshop!

The Mac version is a little buggy on setup and linking with Pinterest, but after that just as good as iPad app. Being able to shuffle any Pinterest board and do timed gestures has improved my figure drawing unbelievably fast. I can’t believe how hard this app was to find, should be way more popular.

Developer Response
Thank you so much for this review — it really means a lot! 🙏I'm glad the Pinterest shuffle + timed gestures combo is working well for your figure drawing practice. That's exactly the workflow I built it around, so hearing it's making a real difference is the best feedback I could get.Sorry about the bumpy setup on Mac — I'm actively working on smoothing that out. If you run into anything specific, feel free to reach out directly and I'll get it sorted.And yeah, discoverability has been the biggest challenge honestly. If you ever feel like sharing it with fellow artists or in any communities you're part of, that would help tremendously. Word of mouth from actual users like you goes a long way. Thanks again!
