  • Love it!!

    I don’t typically leave reviews, but this app certainly warrants my compliments. It’s simplistic, effective, and I’m so glad to finally have a space to organize my reference images. I saw a Youtuber using the beta and his recommendation sold me instantly.

    There’s two things that I feel would enhance my experience, and those would be the ability to rotate my entire ref board, and to be able to add notes with my Apple Pencil/typing (esp the ability to add links for where I got my reference images from). Overall, it’s a beautiful app, and I’m super happy with my purchase:) highly recommend buying it if you’re considering.

    Developer Response

    So happy that you decided to take the time to write us a review! We are hopefully starting the development of full canvas rotating of your entire board this week! If everything goes according to plan that is. Trying to knock out a few bugs first but we are definitely going to work on that very soon! We also are planning on eventually adding text note boxes :D Thanks so much for the kind words and the feedback.
  • Cool, but not worth the money.

    I was really hoping to use this app while I do my day to day sketching, but the boards have a space limit which is really frustrating. It’s like having to pay for Pinterest and not getting the full program. While the gif controls and the image controls are all useful, you can still have all those controls without having to pay by just using the photos app. I wouldn’t complain if this program was free, but it’s not, so it’s pretty disappointing.

  • SO GOOD

    I sincerely love this app. It works so well, and fast. I was really worried there would be way too many editing tools of some kind and it would essentially be a way easier way for reposters to edit stolen art. I was so happy to be Proven wrong. It is literally just to doof around and put the images you need for a pose/ or piece down and i love it.

    The only things i do wish it included are very superficial like the ability to scale and transform an image a bit more, but i do understand this was not added to probably avoid people accidentally using the wrong arrows and making it frustrating as well as maintaining resolution. And the other is that i do wish you could move projects around to either order them in some way or makes files to group them. This is so amazing to use though thank you so much for making it.

  • Amazing App! Theres so much potential here.

    As a freelance artist, this is an absolutely NEEDED app for me as i have a whole lot of references in Pinterest and Twitter. I dont download my references, but I tend to just retweet them or pin them in my account as an archive, but i ALWAYS hated switching between references. I dont download images for the sake of storage and keeping my photo gallery free of clutter.

    If I were to make a recommendation; I would ask to include the drag and drop feature from not just the web, but from different app sources like Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter etc. This would really help us artists with a complete digital presence online!

  • nice app

    It's a great application, but I hope to continue to resize after locking. In addition, I also want to be able to swipe to select pictures when importing pictures. After the pictures are imported successfully, the pictures can be typeset automatically, instead of being stacked together
  • doesn’t let me add photos

    won’t let me add photos at all to the app and keeps telling me to delete photos to free up space, even though i have well over 40GB of free space on my iPad.

    EDIT: Developer has stated that this is a bug and that there is a temporary workaround for it. Works great now! I’m glad that they are responsive and working hard to fix issues.

  • Perfect tool for Pro and Studying Artists!

    This will finally allow us to more easily reference images as we create our artworks or study! The developer is working really hard on it and trying to get out improvements as well as listening to the art community for feedback. I love where the app is at and am excited for its future!
  • What I’ve dreamed of!

    This is the reference app I’ve been dreaming of. I would usually have to create a reference canvas in CSP or procreate and save it out as a JPG, which was always a pain. This not only lets me build and rearrange on the fly, but has zooming, organizing, and lock support too?! Incredible! If you use references with your art (and you should!) this app is perfect!

  • The app I didn’t realize I was missing

    I’m so used to just image-searching or using Pinterest to save photos to my files, importing them to each individual canvas and working from there, but this is the intuitive alternative I didn’t realize I needed until now.

    Super easy to use, no frills or bad interface getting in the way. Very pleasantly surprised so far. I’ll try out gifs and such later, but this is a great addition to my Procreate experience.

  • Great Companion App for Creatives

    I’ve done the old fashion manual assembly of references in a Procreate canvas and export them as one jpeg method for a while, which is so tedious. If you’re familiar with PureRef on desktop then this app is similar. My only request would be a way to rotate images on the board fluidly, which might interfere with pinch zoom but might be possible with a lock or snap system? However the features are already great from the start and I’ve immediately started using it on my current projects.
