Leave a Review Inspire Pro
Beautiful blending, very intuitive, love it!
I’ve been using this for years, now. I have done portraits with this app, and it blends very subtly. It gives me a great range of color and I can export easily to convert to giclee prints. I have tried more complicated apps with layers, etc., but I always return to Inspire Pro. The response team is quick and helpful if I ever have questions, you can’t go wrong.Show lesstwintunes

Hi twintunes, We want to extend a huge thank you out to you for such a glowing review of Inspire Pro! So happy to hear that you love the dry brush blending and find it easy to use. We're always happy to help if you have any more questions about the app — don't ever hesitate to reach out! Thanks again, snowCanoeGreat app! Just some room for improvement.
This app is AMAZING. There is just a little room for improvement.
I would really like it to be easier to scroll in the gallery. I would also like it so that you can adjust the size of the paper. When I have to draw on a small scale, everything is all pixelated and it is kinda hard to draw like that. Also, I would like it so that there would be more brushes. I can draw with the brushes we have now but maybe other people might want more for different effects. Also, like Procreate, you should have layers. It would make blending way easier.
I would really like to see these changes in the next update if possible. Great app though!Show lessMickieWickie

Hi MickieWickie, Thanks for the great review and detailed feedback and suggestions! You will definitely see layers and more brushes coming in future updates and we will consider making changes to the gallery to make navigation easier. You can select any custom canvas size that you like from the New Canvas menu, from 100x100 for pixel art all the way up to 16K, depending on what kind of iPad you have. Cheers, snowCanoeGreat App
This was a way better transition from paper to digital than other apps I’ve tried. I’m still pretty toddleresque with it but with practice, who knows...UrbanEcology
Quick and intuitive
So far this app does all I need and easy to figure out. My go to drawing program.Fibly

I got this app yesterday and when I started it, my zeal zigged zagged through my enthusiasm! I’ve done paper sketches for a while and this app will help me draw on iPad. Give this a 5 star rating1CrystalReine
Is it my ipencil?
I just bought the app. Shows great promise to create the artwork style I want for my book, however, I’m having trouble activating some of the brushes. For example the filbert brush, works with my finger but not with my ipencil. That’s a problem because I only work with the ipencil. I have the latest iPad Pro and second generation ipencil. I’ve tried restarting both the app and iPad, checked all the settings but can’t figure out why I don’t have access to all the brushes and categories. With this problem resolved I will give the app 5 stars. HELP!!Show lessB.rocks

Hi B.rocks, Sorry to hear you're having trouble with the app! We can definitely help you resolve this issue, but it's difficult through the App Store review mechanism. Could you contact us directly via email? In the meantime, have you tried pressing the "Reset" button at the top-left of the brush menu with the Filbert brush selected to see if that helps? Regards, snowCanoeBest Painting App for iPad
I have been using Inspire Pro for years since the iPad 2 and it has become better and better each year with regular updates. Every time I upgrade to a new iPad the first app I try is always Inspire Pro and I’m impressed each time at how faster and smoother it is on my new toy. Currently I’m using it on the latest iPad Pro and it’s 👌🏼👌🏼 The bushes are top-notch, but I’d love to see some new ones soon. Truly the best painting app for iPad Pro, there are no sketchy subscription fees or ads and the developers have committed to this over the years. Thank you ❣️Show lessCrazy_Gamer_33

Thank you for the awesome review and being a loyal customer all these years Crazy_Gamer_33! We are against subscriptions when it comes to art apps like Inspire Pro, so not to worry there. After our big 4.0 update, we will be working on some brand new brush sets — we have a few ideas in mind for more natural media to add to the app. Thanks again, snowCanoeFun brushes, easy to learn, works well
I’m just getting started with this app and I’m really loving it! It has a nice variety of brushes and effects and there is almost no lag time when I make the brushes big. Great job Inspire!PixieGlore
Missing two things but perfect otherwise
I’ve seen that there will be a big version 4 update that will introduce Layers which would be awesome. When is that coming out? But I also hope that we can get some more tools like a fill bucket or an outline and move tool. Just to get the perfect drawings. But thank you for all you have done.NashLucas

Hi NashLucas, Thank you for the great review — that's awesome you enjoy using the app so often! Cheers, snowCanoeNot ready for prime time.
Buggy and awkward interface. Feels like a throwback to something designed in the 90’s. For example: Try starting a new project, selecting a photo, but change your mind and want a different photo, there is no “back” you have to select “photo” again and start scrolling through your photos from the start again. Almost like no one even tested it or tried to use the app before they released it. Another example, try changing the size of the old-brush, a blank rectangle shows up with no feedback at all about what you’re doing, resizing etc. Oh yeah, no layers? That’s pretty lame. This app feels clunky. I admit the tech of the brush-strokes is pretty cool, but it ain’t no good if the app itself is sub-par. I’d look elsewhere, unless you’re willing to put up with an awkward interface to get a nice brush effect.Show lessjrowellfx

Hi Jam Row, Thank you for the candid feedback, much appreciated! The Photo browser is completely taken care of by iOS — we have no control over how it behaves or looks, we can only display it in our app and then use your selected image that it gives us after it is dismissed. If you are trying to adjust the size of a brush and you don't see a preview, please try shutting down all apps running in the background and then restarting your iPad as this is usually an indication of low system memory (not storage memory) available and this will clear things up for all apps to use, not just Inspire Pro. Finally, we are still working on a huge update that will include layers and hope to have the beta out soon. Admittedly, it has taken longer than we thought, but it is slowly coming together very nicely. Thanks again, snowCanoe
