It is very helpful.

Would give it a 5 star rating but I confident the new app will be even better.

This is a very useful app for artist. I hate it is no longer available:(

Thanks

I didn’t realize the grid is scalable…

I was about to delete this app because I could not figure out how to make the grid denser. As another reviewer said, you have to lock the photo, then enable custom grid to be able to pinch and zoom in the grid to get more lines. I gave it a two star review because I didn’t know that feature existed. I think you guys should make that part of the little intro pages to let people understand because it is absolutely not clear.

It also will not let me update to the paid version. When I go to the settings and try and upgrade, it sends me to a website. I’d like to pay you guys, but can’t figure out how!

Would help if shop was open

I have tried four times today to buy the pro version ie without ads.
No connection made each time
Perhaps Sever Down
Perhaps No Longer Supporting App
?!?!?!

Plumb lines.

Art Tools is a great app to help with drawing, values, and composition, but why isn’t there a way to create vertical plumb lines? By definition, plumb lines determine the verticals. Horizontal lines would be more accurately called “level” lines.

If vertical plumb lines ARE available… how do you create them? I don’t see any way to do that.

Proportions

I am a beginning painter and this tool helps me keep my proportions accurate. I do wish there would be an option for square paintings, and for paintings that are horizontal. When I try to rotate the picture I am copying I goof it all up!

A real tool for real painters

I love this app! Accurasee has helped me with MANY a composition. It’s very useful while Plein air painting. I like to save multiple compositions and then compare them in the projects tab. I just wish it would include a feature to rotate photos by 90 degree increments, and a “fit to frame” button. I would have the FTF button toggle between fitting height, width and last manual size adjustment. Oh, I wouldn’t mind golden ratio harmonics, and a spiral grid either!
Thank you so much to the developers!

Printing project with the grid

I cannot figure out how to print my project with the grid so I can work on it therefore I gave it a low rating

Great if it wasn't abandoned

I think this app has a ton of potential. However nothing has changed in 3 years. If they implement the suggestions given to them by the actual users, this app would have a perfect score. Unfortunately I am pretty sure it's been abandoned by the developers.

Not enough grids

No rectangular options

Solid

No regrets, it would be nice if it had a fibinochi (sp?) curve.

Grids tricky to customize

This app is great if you want to use a standard grid, e.g. 3 x 3 or 4 x 4. Unfortunately I found it impossible to use the custom grid option, even after searching for Help on the app and online. Perhaps the paid option allows you to access help?

To thank

it's really helpful app ever

Most Useful Drawing App Available

This app is simply amazing!! It allows you to overlay a drawing grid on any photo in your camera roll. Using one of the many available grids, you can then accurately transfer the photo to your drawing paper.

The app includes many useful tools such as a “value checker” that allows you to properly place tonal values into the correct zone.

I could go on and on but suffice it to say, this is the most useful app I have ever purchased.

Could be good

If it would let you move your photos to fit the grid it would work, but can only move certain lines to fit the photo. Does not benefit me at all.

Not user friendly

Plumb line and grid

I have no idea how to add vertical and diagonal lines to my picture. It’s frustrating.

Plumb lines, grid

I wish that you had more plumb lines to work with. The grid is fixed and you have to move the picture to line things up, wish you could move the grid instead of overall . This is an excellent app for artist’s a possible game changer and an excellent companion tool. If you use proportional dividers this will boost your drawing abilities if they make the small changes to the app this will be a 5 star plus app!!

App will not function

I can’t upload another photo

Enlarge

Once you get the grid right, you can’t enlarge the picture
