  • Artist are being robbed

    This app makes me sick to my stomach. Who ever really drew the pictures on the app is being robbed. Your not really drawing, your tracing. Which means if you sell this is art you make with the app you can go to jail! As an artist, this makes we want to throw up. You should never trace art. You should find your own art style and if you want you could use references. I hate the idea of this app and could I also put in that there is literally nothing you can do for free on this app? There’s on about two free things you can do and the rest is for money.

  • Great app, moneys in the way.

    So I downloaded it. Even after reading all the reviews... and I should have listened to them. The dev response person/bot says that animals are free, but they are locked for pro. Even though they say it’s is, it is not. Molang doesn’t exist... nor does grinch. You only get one free lesson. This now brings the question. Why not just charge 5.99$ for the app? No. You must pay 5$ monthly. Great concept! great design! But money has gotten in the way. I still give it a 3 star even after being this disappointed, I mean it promise a few free drawings. But I ended up with only one. So again good job on the app, just money and a bit of greed has gotten in the way sadly. I do hope they respond to this to clear this up. Because they basically lied about what is free and not. Unless you are willing to pay 5$ monthly, I will not recommend this app.

  • Game changer

    One word... GENIUS.
    My biggest word of advice is don’t give up, Keep playing around with the app- I was frustrated at first but after a few drawings using the AR technology I was completely sold. It’s something I’ve been trying to do with tracing paper and a computer screen for years. Your brain will need some time since it’s not very natural drawing something you’re not technically looking directly at. Its great for novice artists like myself who need a good start to the pictures they want to recreate on their own. The other features such as lessons are neat as well but after the trial I bought it just for the AR!!

    Hello! Thank you for taking the time to deliver such a great feedback about SketchAR :) We are feeling pretty lucky that you chose our app to learn more about the AR!
  • A little mad

    So the app itself is pretty good but I find it annoying and confusing as to why I can’t view my sketches that I’ve already done. After completing a lesson, the sketch made from that completely disappears.. there’s no way to see it again. Even if I go back to that same lesson, I have to start a new one all over again. Overall decent drawing app but if you love to view your work afterwards, then maybe try a different one.

  • Seems like a great idea but not dependable

    As an artist, I’ve been experimenting with this on and off for a few weeks and it’s a great idea IF you can get some random anchor to be permanently in your drawing. Drawing on anything larger than an A4 is out of the question, as you can’t draw your image b/c you’re too far away for proportion, (fully extended arm and pencil still doesn’t reach) then you get closer to touch your paper and it’s lost anchors and looses everything you just calibrated (as it’s white paper with no anchors). I’ll stick with my projector.
    It has one purpose, and that is for large scale tracing for murals and that’s it. If you are actually using this to “learn to draw” you probably won’t ever improve. Drawing from scratch builds your skill and the necessarily parts of your brain and hand-trust to draw, this will just keep you in tracer category. Great for kids or using it see mistakes in your drawing.

  • So much to like, so much to dislike

    I have tried to use this app to draw on a chalkboard (18x24 inches) which appears best when paper is selected but I would need a giants arms to draw it because the app loses registration when you get close. Coupled with the irritating insistence you pay before you try (ok I paid) and the irritating pigeon which u can’t turn off and the obvious lack of fit and finish - this is a great idea waiting for someone else to make it useful - graffiti paint ...

  • Needs work.

    The concept for this app is great. I would love to see some of the glitches ironed out. The fact that this only works with 2 paper sizes, in a very brightly lit room, is the first issue. Constantly arranging the phone, pulled very far back, to capture the page begins to wear on you. I do love how you can capture a wall or floor, to draw/paint murals. But the image sometimes shifts, which defeats the purpose. I want to love this app, and can see great use for it. The tutorials are wonderful. Especially if you’re a beginner. I foresee this app becoming better, more stable. So I’m going to stick with it.

  • Good Concept

    This app is a great app but my problem is that it glitches whether I move or not. The first thing you do is to put the crosses on the paper but it glitches every time I put my hand on the paper to draw it. When I finally finish that step, I go to drawing the picture. The paper is fully in the camera and no matter what I do, it says the paper isn’t fully in the camera and so then I have to restart. It constantly freaks out on me and it’s very frustrating.

  • Not what I was hoping for

    I love the idea, but I found it very difficult to focus on my screen while trying to sketch on anything larger than a standard piece of paper. I specifically wanted to use this app for photos but found even if I turn the contrast up, it did not pick up the lines well. I tried a second photo to see if it worked better but had to purchase a subscription to do so. I purchased one month to continue “trying out the app”. I have since decided this app does not suit my needs but cannot find a way to cancel my subscription and have not received a response after contacting the company.
