## What is AR Sketch?

Having AR Drawing App is like always having a sheet of tracing paper with you! Choose any image you'd like to draw, take a photo, or choose from hundreds of images supplied in the app; then look at your screen while you trace the image on paper! an you can draw it!

The app typically includes a variety of features such as the ability to adjust line thickness, change the color of the trace, and add text or other graphical elements to the drawing. Some trace drawing apps also offer the option to import and trace images from the user's device or from the internet. These apps can be useful for artists and designers looking to create quick sketches or concept art, or for students learning to draw by copying the work of others.

So how does it works?

- Select an image from the Photos app or capture an image with a camera then just apply the filter. After that, you will see that image on the camera screen with transparency & you have to put drawing paper or book anything on which you want to trace and draw. Your image will not appear on paper but a transparent image with camera so that you can trace it on paper.
- Draw on paper by looking at the phone with a transparent image.
- Select any image and convert it to a tracing image.

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2026-07-10, version 5.0*

Every time you select it kicks you out the app. Complete scam!

### 1/5 — DO NOT GET

*2026-07-09, version 5.0*

This ap is horrible, as a digatil artist, I am constantly swapping my art onto canvases and let me just say it's always resizing the image there like three ads every few minutes and you can't even draw the simplest thing on it without it looking horrible would not recommend

### 5/5 — Esta linda

*2026-03-13, version 5.0*

Me gusta el juego es lindo y puedes pintar bien lindo sin expresarte lean y pónganlo y guarde mi mensaje 😝😝😝🎀

### 4/5 — Uggggggggghhhhhhhhh

*2026-01-02, version 5.0*

The camera keeps moving when I try to take my picture! I have tried multiple things to see if my table was like crooked or something but it wasn’t. P,ease stop letting the camera move it makes my drawings look really bad

### 1/5 — Stay Away

*2025-11-14, version 5.0*

As soon as I open the app, I was met with click here, so I clicked here immediately I was brought to a fraudulent page that started to try to shut down my iPhone. Stay away from this app. The tracing element is subpar and not worth any price you pay for it. It’s also riddled with potential. Spyware and malware ads.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2025-07-28, version 5.0*

Don’t waste your time. This is the most useless app ever! Before you even get started it starts with an ad. Had to watch 4 ads before I even got to see what this useless app had to offer. Stay clear of this and thank me later! 🤢 1 star is way too generous for this trash.

### 1/5 — Forces close

*2025-04-12, version 5.0*

I can’t even do anything in this app cause when I press the button to start, it automatically shuts down the app entirely! $13 wasted!

### 5/5 — Helps me draw

*2025-01-30, version 5.0*

Helps me draw

### 3/5 — It didn’t go as planned

*2025-01-18, version 5.0*

When I first opened the app, I was in awe. Until I got to the drawing part, I was tracing and when I was tracing I looked at my drawing and it looked like a bad drawing. I was like, maybe I’m not doing something right, so I retry. Apparently it wasn’t me, it was the app. The app is very good, but the tracing part is very poor. And there were ads every second I tried to click something. So, maybe fix the ads. But the tracing part, really made me have questions, when I read the reviews they were in awe. I was in awe until the tracing part came in. Maybe I’ll try again, to see if it’s really me.

### 5/5 — This is worth it

*2024-12-23, version 5.0*

This app is amazing, it is free and only optional membership
