Extremely valuable tool that needs minor fixes

This is probably the best tool I’ve found so far that does all of the things I would want an app to do, that up until now I’ve been doing manually in other photo-editors. The only thing keeping this from 5 stars are minor but easily fixable improvements and bugs: 1. The preview of your current reference(s) should appear as what tools are applied to it, like if you have B/W applied, the preview should be B/W; 2. The visualization checkboxes are nice, but we should be able to save both global and per-reference presets, that way you can easily switch between sets of visualizations that we like to use. I say Per-reference as well because you may have some presets that are only useful on certain reference images, that you want to switch to and from easily; 3. There are some extreme performance issues with the shape simplification tool. This code either needs to be implemented differently or made more efficient; 4. The Blur tool is implemented in a way that shrinks the image with increased blur. This feels unintended and broken; 5. Haptic Touch on the hold-to-delete in the reference library would be nice; Even with those points, I still plan to purchase the lifetime subscription as I can already tell this tools will be indispensable to me!

Best outline app so far

I got this so I could let an app handle the grunt work of outlining my reference photos for paintings. Additionally, the ability to group values and highlight them by color has been amazing. All my painter friends agree it is so cool. I paid for lifetime access.

You should warn people that this app is very limited and it should be free. I subscribed to see what it unlocks which is barely anything. When I changed my subscription to not renewing it locked me out of the paid subscription right away. I don’t even get the $2 worth anymore! Bummed

Response from developer

Hi, I’m sorry for the poor experience. All features are available to try for free with the example references, and I’ll make sure to make this clearer. Regarding your subscription, you should still have access until the end of the subscription period. Have you tried restoring your purchase? Please feel free to contact me at contact@arttoolkitapp.com to receive an extra month. Thank you, and sorry again.

Another indispensable app!

It’s amazing! Will update the more I use it but after an hour or two of playing with it it’s phenomenal and the easiest to use!!
