Doesn’t do what it says on the tin!

Very disappointed as I purchased this as it says it’s a projector. You can only trace from your phone - it doesn’t project the image from your phone onto paper or object like I believed it would

Response from developer

We're sorry to hear that. There's no projector function in any app. You can use our app to trace an image and draw it then

Mistaken purchase

I bought this in error after setting up a new iPad, I thought it was another app of the SME name that I have been using for some time.

Foolishly paid for the pro version, it is hopeless, loads an image and does nothing else apart from changing the opacity, no controls, and the camera image only appears as a band in the middle of the screen.

I’m going to right off the cost and delete it and laid it’s vastly superior namesake.

No Way to Try it

I installed this app on my iPad and wanted to try it before I purchased it to see if it would work for my needs. There’s no way to try it first, not even a one-day trial. I don’t buy an app I can’t try first because I don’t want to buy something I can’t use. It saddens me that potential customer satisfaction isn’t priority for this developer, only money. I will uninstall this app and look at better apps that let people try them first.

We're sorry to hear that. You can try the full functionality for free. The only difference is a limited time per drawing session. Please contact us by email to get a customer support

Good concept, not free

Concept is great; works well. Can change opacity to low and use the phone screen to see where the lines are to draw. This only works for 10 seconds before changing to a screen asking you to buy the full version; cross of this screen and you have to choose the image, set the opacity and re-size it all over again. Impossible to use without buying it.

Disappointed

I was looking for a projector, so I installed this app because I saw an ad telling that it was a projector, once I installed I couldn’t use it on free version, it only look me to the purchase button, like you only use if you pay, I bought now it just stay on the upload image page, and if I upload image I can’t do anything, looks like an app to draw over your phone, how is supposed to do that? It’s very annoying defendant, am sorry I bought.

Doesn’t work

This app isn’t worth it. The free version is exactly like the paid version except for the free version times out after 30 seconds and then you buy it and it doesn’t even overlay the dang image at all. Oh and there’s no option menus and the features they boast about are not even available only an opacity bar and a import button that Doesn’t work, I am really disappointed in my self for buying this app

Lies

I tried using this app but every 30 seconds or so it would refresh and take me to a pay screen saw that it said 4.99$ figured that seemed fair enough well I got charged 16$ and there was no fine print text stating other charges would be applied or anything so yeah stay away from this app for sure

Response from developer

Please email us with details. We don't have any in-app purchases cost more than $5

Scam!!

This app does NOT work! It looks like it’s working fine, then continually throws me back to payment screen.

Response from developer

We're sorry to disappoint you. Please email us with your feedback. We'd be glad to improve your experience

Response from developer
