Grid uneven

The grid is only even if divided into 4 - am I missing something here?
And ? Option invisible so I’ve no idea how to alter.
Currently a waste of money

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, and sorry you’re having problems. The app offers a choice of square or proportional grid (can be chosen from a button in the bottom right). How they fit the image depends on its aspect ratio. Button labels can be seen by holding the ‘?’ at the bottom. Please email for more help and we’ll be happy to assist.

Interface is not intuitive

Cropping tool is too zoomed in, won’t work for my picture. Definitely not worth paying for, will be getting my money back for this terrible app.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. The cropping tool should work with all pictures. If you would like us to try and help you, please send an email to the support address in the app or via the contact form on the web site.

Good for children

My children use it well! It helps me to keep them busy 👍🏻

Response from developer

Many thanks for your review. So happy to hear that children are having fun with Sketch Grid! 😍

Does not do what the developer shows

I just purchased this and found that I cannot contact developer. Link is broken. Plus it shows multiple line grid and I can only get a two or three line grid. What the heck? Please explain or refund my purchase. !!

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback - we’ve now included a guide, which contains help with the app, and a contact email address. Press the ? button in the toolbar to see it.

Very disappointing

The grid is heavy and can’t be lightened. The picture with grid cannot be saved or exported.
Until the functionality of this app is updated I’ll be looking elsewhere.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for your feedback. You can now change the weight and the colour of the grid, and also export the image in the original resolution with the grid of your choice. We’ve also included a guide for the user - hold down the ? button in the toolbar to see it.

New version much better

Nice simple interface, easy to pan and crop picture. It could be improved by allowing the grid to be positioned as an overlay rather than being fixed in place, but it’s not bad after the recent updates.

Response from developer

Thanks a lot for your review! Also thanks for the cool idea - a non-fixed grid sounds very useful - definitely considering this...

Works wonders.

I’m a professional watercolor artist and use the grid as an easy guide for drawing my underpaintings. Love that it gives the user an aspect ratio so the grid is easily replicated on paper. Can be glitchy sometimes, but nothing an app reset hasn’t ever fixed. This app is a must for my workflow.

Response from developer

Very happy to hear this! Many thanks for your review :)

Downloaded this app to IPad. Can access photo library but camera does not function. Cannot control orientation of photo from library. Not impressed or perhaps it is me?

Trick to using this that some don't know

I've noticed that some people reviewing grid drawing apps don't realize that an iPad or iPhone can take a screenshot of the current screen... with your grid over your image! Then you just print it out and you're good to go. This is very much worth the money.

It's okay

It's okay, but two major issues for me. First, it's difficult to select the entire image for your grid. I composed it already, so that's problematic. Second, it doesn't match the rotation of my image in the photo app.
