GREAT!!!! NEVER going back to Vizref!!
06/26/2025

I was tearing my hair out over Vizref (a much pricier reference program!) consistently crashing when I tried to open projects, so in a fit I bought another reference program. Best decision ever. Not only is it simple, but there are SO many different possibilities that vizref just doesn’t have. You can draw and write notes on images!? You can color pick images!? The program shows how you can snap your compilation of images in a satisfying way!?!? It’s honestly incredible. I only have two notes:1. Its’s very annoying that you have to click your finger away when selecting and moving an image to select another image. If I select and move the first image, I should be able to select and drag the second image when I click on it. It’s very monotonous because of that.2.My other note is that the ui isn’t very pleasing to look at. Vizref buttons had very clear and pleasing contrast in their selection buttons, so I recommend a bolder style for buttons and colors.Besides that, wonderful. 5/5

i appreciate this app a lot, especially since most apps like this are paywalled and/or have an unbearable amount of ads. the ui is very good, there was no learning curve with this unlike in other programs like notion, which was another app i used for image collection. will you ever add a doodle / text feature to write down notes for the references ? if you do then this will definitely be more than perfect for artists and creatives, ive already recommended it to a good amount of my acquaintances and friends !

Developer Response
Thank you very much for your suggestion. We will increase the development priority of the doodle/text feature. You are also welcome to communicate with our team through email/comments in the future.

No cropping
06/05/2025

MrGoodbye
Only tried this app for a few minutes and noticed some functionality that I want. Most important is cropping. If I import a photo, I normally just want a piece of it; not the whole thing. So I need to crop first, then import, which reduces the value of this app. The first image I tried to drag in from another app, pixiv, didn’t work. When it comes to layer management, I can only move to the very top or bottom. Definitely going to try to return this as it’s just doing what I need it to do. Would consider buying again if the features were added in the future.

1.Cropping feature in development，will be released in the next version.2. ImgRef supports dragging and dropping images. (This feature requires another application to support image drag and drop. You can use the file manager to split the screen and drag and drop for testing.)

after buying this app I don’t know how I put up with procreate or ibispaint’s built in reference modes for this long. extremely robust, so many options, very much worth its price tag.
