Pretty good app but needs work.
I downloaded this app because I am a terrible drawer and I was looking for a way to learn. The app works surprisingly well, but has a few issues. The tracking is very finicky. If you do not hold the phone perfectly still and have near perfect the imagine will jitter all over the page. When using the cross feature, if your shadow touches one of the markers it will also make the image warp all over the page. That means you have to draw at odd angles in order to avoid this. I understand that is an issue with my lighting and not the app, but it shouldn’t happen with such a small amount of shadow. The app is still pretty neat, but is not even close to being worth nearly thirty dollars. Subscriptions don’t interest me, because I would much rather own something and pay for it in full. If the price was lowered to ten dollars for the lifetime ownership that would make up for its drawbacks, but I feel that a 28 dollar app should work flawlessly almost all the time.Show lessHaloman999

Hello! Thank you very much for your high rating and detailed review. We're glad that you like the app! There are indeed some extra functions in our Pro-version, but all the main features are available for free. Our developers will be glad to receive your suggestions. Have a nice day!Good idea, bad product
I found this and thought it would be great to help learn more about drawing and sketching. Upon opening the app, and realized only a select few things were available for free. After finding something I liked, I attempted to draw it using the AR. The example picture would only be visible when the phone was three feet from the paper. How can you comfortably hold your device that far from the paper and still be able to draw? It was very frustrating for me to try to hold the phone and draw, so I did not get far into the drawing, but the result still wasn’t pretty. I love the idea of the app, I really do, but it needs a lot of work to be down on it before it is really useful.Show lessCela K.

Hello! I definitely see how this situation is aggravating for you :( There are a lot of sketches you can try out for free (for example, ''Molang'', ''Grinch'', ''Animals'', ''Lettering'') or draw unicorns, kitties and whales step-by-step (tab ''Lessons''). As you can see there is much to learn :) Regarding another question, a temporary solution - try using tripod, why not? Our devs are working on creating some new options and additional instruments that will make it easier to work with the app.This is very interesting but...
I’m really trying to like this so I can buy it but I have a few concerns as soon as I tried to use it. I’m on an iPhone XS Max and for some reason I have to hold the phone far away from the paper, and then I’m really reaching for the paper to draw...it’s ridiculous that I’m forced into a strange position to be reaching for the paper to draw. When I am drawing my hand interferes with the tracking and it’s tells me it’s lost the paper, this is hard to avoid too. I’m looking forward to see what comes of this app it really is incredible... just need to figure out this distance from the page.Show lessMyRealGenius
