Good app for artists.

This is a good tool for artists. I spent 1/2 hour trying out different ones. This was the best. Ability to move to picture around on the grid is what I wanted. Easily done on here

Only grid tool app that’s good

No other one I’ve used let’s you actually adjust the grid on the image, so this gets 5 stars in my book.

Hard to use

I cannot get The grid to go over the entire picture. It is up in a corner. It asks me how many pixels wide and I have no idea. Why not ask in inches?

Waste of money

Love it!

I've had zero issues with this app even though it hasn't been updated since end of 2015. 🙃 It does exactly what I need. I can add and adjust grids over any image I want to draw. Love I can save the image with the grid for future use. 👍🏼👍🏼
