Leave a Review Mental Canvas Draw
I Paid. good - but lacking QoL
I paid for the creator version… Excellent and simply amazing, worth every penny!
Sadly… Mental Canvas BADLY needs quality of life updates - like yesterday. Their silence and lack of updates.. makes me hope this company is ok and not going through hard financial times.

QUALITY OF LIFE FEATURES (Keep us IN the flow)
I am understanding Mental Canvas is not competing with:
- Procreate
- Photoshop
- Affinity Photo
- or any of other deep artistic apps
I totally get it,
Mental Canvas has it’s own lane and tries to keep us within the territory of their tools for 3D planes and not wanting to boggle us with too many features. It’s a beautiful and unique lane.
But…
MENTAL CANVAS .. bhaaddlyy, needs the following quality of life features:
• Blur
• Liquify
• Mesh Warp
• Some Blend Modes
• Auto straight Lines and Auto Shape
By Mental Canvas lacking these basics I listed above…
Mental Canvas FORCES us to leave the app EVERY TIME we want to blur, or liquify, or do any of these **primitive** special effects listed above.
and so.. here is a typical Mental Canvas process:
1. leave MC app
2. open another app
3. Adjust make changes in other app
4. Export to photo gallery or icloud
5. come back to MC app
6. Import updates
Really Mental Canvas?
This is when Mental Canvas starts jumping into the **annoying zone** and totally ruining flows. I really hope you guys figure this out.Show lessLost in Tactics

If this app was good, which it’s not, it’s still weird to use and gives you a head ache. It’s trash disguised in software. You could almost find this useful, but I don’t. If you want to draw in 3D space, buy a head set and an app for VR. Don’t spend money on this app, don’t even get the free version of this app. It’s an eye sore, and when you finally get the hang of it, it’s still annoying to use. They have very limited brushes and you may think that is helpful or not too bad because you can still zoom in, but really it just takes more time to do a simple task. Maybe I’m just stupid and this app has good qualities. Don’t base wether you buy this app on me, just take into consideration that I would rather spend over 200$ on a professional app than get this in the free mode.
If I one day find this is good, I’ll delete this. But for now, I still don’t like it.Show lessgreat_game101
Beautiful app
I love it…makes my designes and or cartoons alive…
One big , even a huge con….you can only use the app for 1 week off line, so if you live somewhere rural like in the Pacific Northwest , with no internet connection, you have to drive once a week into town or a city to activate it again. So in fact you pay for an app, but the company still controls if you can work with it, i think this should be told and explained in the FAQ, before you buy it….
I wonder what the developers would say if they buy a new car, and afterwards they find out they only can drive it for 7 days and then they have to go back to the dealer to activate it again…I bet they would ask for a refund….
But otherwise its a cool appShow lessrenistrem
