Excellent image reference app!
Ticks all the boxes for me.
No complaints at all. If you have used PureRef, this app will meet all expectations.

Updated Review - Still Love It!
I’ve used VizRef for a while now, and I had written favorably as well the last time I reviewed this app. I want to add an additional review after the current update.
The iPad version of VizRef is CONSTANTLY open in split view alongside Procreate when I work.It’s almost become an extension of Procreate for me. The iPhone version is also a great option when I want a separate reference screen. The app is simple to use and very effective at what it’s built to do. I use this app to help keep my comics more consistent by collecting references and my previous drawings of characters or scenes all in one place. The in-app greyscale filter is invaluable. Also love that I can crop images within the app, and pause GIFs to look at specific frames. Another nice touch is that the app background more or less matches the background in Procreate. This adds to the feeling that the apps are part of each other, and keeps it from feeling distracting or visually busy.
The last update just made this already excellent app even better by adding some ways to export and save boards, which means I now have a way to backup all of my compiled references. This is WONDERFUL and about the only feature I have been missing. Thank you for creating such an excellent tool for artists! 😃👏👏👏

Lack of share function
If i can sure the boards i create on ipad share on my iphone will be great.
Response from developer
We just added a function to batch export images. We feel like this is the most stable way to share your images on different devices. iphones and ipads have different ram usage for apps so a board made on ipad might crash the iphone version. Similar to why you cant open the same pads on procreate ipad on the iphone version of procreate. I hope the new exporting features are useful. We plan on adding more as well.
Works great but lacks sync/export
The app itself is simple and easy to use and meets most of my needs, but AFAICT reference boards are saved locally to the device on which they are created and there is no way to copy or sync boards between iPhone and iPad. iCloud support would make both apps 5 stars and well worth the price for both.

Great
Really simple app that gets the job done perfectly. Building a reference board is very easy and quick. All very intuitive. Only thing is I wish is that boards synced between the iPad and iPhone.
Able to upload to cloud?
Am I able to upload my folders or images to be able to move them to my iPad VizRef app from my phone vizref app?
I just got this it’s a great app

Excellent app but missing one feature!
I adore this app for helping me easily keep all my references in one place to help with my art. It’s very easy to use and has a simple UI design. The only complaint I have with this app is I wish it had some sort of account system that syncs with the iPad version. I tend to find a lot of my references on my phone most of the time rather than my iPad. It would just be a lot easier if it all synced. Just a small complaint but a feature that I think would make this app perfect. Other than that this is a must have for any creative out there!

Highly HIGHLY recommended
So great all the photos when batch importing don’t lay on each other, strange you have to flip the hd switch to have images imported in HD happy it’s there just strangers it’s not just on. It does works, strangely “HD” photos I get from bing or google still show up pixelated but that could be the photo itself and not the app, the app does brighten the images imported, when compare from In app and the photos app. Found rotating accidentally should be a icon like the flip or b/w filter and then rotate from there, also I would like to be able to rotate individual images and not just the whole board, aside from that I do like the intuitive rotating gesture just needs a better spot or icon, sadly can’t do multiple select, love the new eye icon being apart to move around the board without any of the ui, still solid fluid stable app just like before still highly recommend

Use this app on all my art projects
Recently discovered and quickly became my favourite tool to use when drawing! Latest update brings autopack to iPhone and multi select tool also! HD mode is great too for referencing high res images! Keep up the great work! Thanks for giving the iPhone app an update!
Good app, stopped working on iPhone X
On firmware version 13.3.1 app will just crash on launch when it used to work
