Leave a Review Inkpad
Superbly accessible and powerful vector drawing
I started using Inkpad as I wanted to draw the sort of eye-popping images people create with applications like Illustrator, but I didn’t want to invest £££s in equipment and software. I’ve found it incredibly easy to use, and surprisingly powerful. I can add layers and layers of detail, and it never slows down or crashes. The interface is very simple, and there’s depths of functionality like ‘duplicate and transform’ which is very clever at copying existing elements using the last path you moved the objects. It’s great fun to use, and I’d advise anyone considering buying to see the art people have been able to create using this tool; there is nothing it can’t do!Show lessBearmtc
Best Bang for the Buck!!
This is the best most versatile vector app. Great for personal branding and social media posts as well as drawing, love, love, love itThecloudybanana
Excellent Mobile Graphic and Publication Design Tool
I As I have been a professional designer on a wide variety of projects, I can say Inkpad is really special app with a really special team behind it. This product combines all the most important features of a graphic design application (i.e. illustrator) with the polished and intuitive UX necessary to make repeated use in a high performance environment. Screen real-estate on an iPad is limited, especially without the pixel-perfect input of a cursor, but I feel like the devs have turned this disadvantage into an opportunity to create far more elegant experience.
I want to conclude in saying that the devs have also shown themselves to listen to user feedback, even with the advent of a second Inkpad app. That’s fantastic customer support in my book.Show lessWumbo!
Very good. One problem...
I really like how this app works, I’ve been using it for years for those random sparks of inspiration.
Only problem I have is when I create a line, I can’t create a tapered end/shape, only rounded, cut-off, or square. Maybe there’s a technique that I’m missing, but I would love to be able to create a line that thickens towards the centre, and tapers towards the ends. Other than that, love the system, learn something new every time I bring it up.
Maybe there’s a shortcut that I’m missing? If so, please lemme know.Show lessMatrixwing
One of the main reasons I own an iPad...
Beautifully designed.How GH
Frustrated
Everything seems to work except my drawing and the result do not align, in other words, the point where my pencil or finger touches the iPad is some distance away from the resulting sketch or diagram.
This is very frustrating as I bought it to use on my iPad Pro for a simple project. And I can’t find the help menu!Show lessgancap
Lags lags lags
It lags. For example, I need to reduce the opacity of an image so I could trace over. By reducing the opacity, it take 3 seconds for the image to be either lighter or darker.
Tools does not “manipulate” well.
Also, When you resize your image, it disappear then reappear when you release. Like, why? Lol
I played around for 15 mins and the app had failed me. Didn’t want to go any further with this app. :( pls don’t tell me to refer to your tutorial. It need more improvement even on the minor tools. Of course, this app is the generic of Adobe Illustrator.
Regardless if it is generic, which I don’t mind, it shouldn’t lags. Pls fix. Thank you.Show lesseverynicknamesicameuparetaken
Developer Response
Hi, we've never experienced the performance you are describing. Changing the opacity of high resolution images is normally instant. Many Inkpad users trace over images as part of their workflow. Can you please get in touch by email so that we can help you resolve the problem - it's probably something simple.Best IPad vector app
This really is the best app for creating vector art in the App Store. It has all the essential features that you’d need in Adobe Illustrator with none of the bloat.
The interface was pretty straightforward. I had no problem finding any functions or attributes. The app exports easily enough to SVG, PNG, or PDF, making it compatible with any variety of commercial graphic design applications.
High five to the developers. This is a pretty solid app that I’ll be using for years to come.Show lessWhatdoyoumean"usernametaken"?!
Excellent
A wonderful program. Easy to use. Considering the price and features, this is the best program I have ever purchased.Tkmossback
Last release Broken?
Last release appears broken. It stopped working after I updated. If I open a document the busy indicator in the center of the screen continues to churn. I can’t do anything.
Just in case, I unloaded, and reload it. It’s the same, unusable.
