You get what you pay for…
…except imo some free-with-ads alternatives are better. Art Set 4 is more realistic looking and easier to use (possibly has more features than Art Rage, but this looked bad enough that I bounced off fast before I could explore it). Even alternatives not trying as hard to look realistic like Procreate, Ibis Paint, Artstudio Pro, etc., have more features and look better.
My main issue was how bad and pixelated some of the brushes looked? And then they did not behave at all realistically. It basically just did not meet the two main expectations I had. Smart of them not to add a demo option, otherwise I would have never bought this, I guess.

I use it a lot
I prefer the more realistic painting in this app than Procreate. I do wish that some bugs were ironed out. My least favourite bug is when the canvas disappears upon pasting from iOS clipboard. But Ive done some really beautiful pieces in this app. Some of the colors don’t seem to mix accurately, like yellow and blue but it’s mostly accurate and definitely better than procreate in this regard

Best at realistic paint effects BUT
I have had artrage since v. 1.0. Loved it. But this version the menus do not stay open long enough to make selections...documentation talks about it, but does not describe it in any way a non-programmer would know what to do. "Change the "interface"? What is that, how do you do that? Sooo frustrating to see a program I loved so much not designed to help non-techy users...I feel like my time/relevance on this planet has passed, because all I try to do all day is solve computer problems with documentation written by people who probably could not name a single plant outside. Thought I was in the company of artists here. Really can't use it if I have to try over and over to catch the menus from closing too fast.

Weird
I purchased this app and I just realized there is another version of this app by the same developer , cheaper, probably better version out there. Money is not an issue , couple dollars only, but why. Is there any differences between those app.
Anyway, Still good app but there is a delay between pen and drawing, it really annoying , I hope it will be fixed .

Love the app, but there is a hitch!
So, it starts with not auto-saving when exiting the app, and I hope this issue is resolved in the future. Minus this, I am enjoying my time creating.
ArtRageより少し進化した
★ArtRageから進化した点
・ブラシや起動などアプリ全体的でパフォーマンスが向上している。
・クローナーツール(Photoshopで言うコピースタンプツール)が実装された。以前からArtRageは矩形選択などができないためクローナーツールの実装によってレイヤーを跨いだ部分コピーがやりやすくなった。
・各ブラシのパラメーターが増え調整できる部分が増えた。
・レイヤー効果(Photoshopで言うレイヤースタイル)が実装された。影、カットアウト、グロー、インナーグロー、エンボス、ストロークがある。
・現在表示しているレイヤーをすべてマージする機能が搭載された。
・直線ツールがいつの間にか搭載されていた。15度単位で引くこともできる。
★問題点
・以前のArtRageでもあったがブラシのプリセットを保存した際にアプリが強制終了する。Vitaeはその頻度が高い。→修正された。
・ギャラリーでのスクロールがページ単位になり、ページとページの間にあるドキュメントが見切れて選択し辛い。以前のArtRageのようなピクセル単位のスクロールの方が見やすい。
・キャンバスの向きが縦長のものを保存した後、横長のキャンバスを開くとたまに絵が縦置きで表示され天地の向きが戻せない時がある。アプリを再起動すると解決したが。キャンバスを閉じた後でも天地方向のキャッシュが残ってたままになっているのではないだろうか。→修正された？
★総評
ArtRageから大きく進化したわけではないが少し快適になっていることは確かだ。あともう一つテキストレイヤー機能が欲しいところだがまぁ別のツールでやれということで。長く使っていて気になっている点は、例えば水彩ブラシを2種類切り替えて使いたい場合、プリセットの切り替えでしかブラシの変更ができないところだ。ツールパレットを自分がよく使うブラシだけで構成できると便利かなと思った。
概ね満足している。欲しい機能はまだまだあるがペイントツールとして見た時にコンパクトにまとまっていて使いやすいのでこれが正解かなとも思う。機能を入れすぎて使い辛くなるよりマシだろう。
★ArtRage→ArtRage Vitaeへデータなどの移行方法
1.ArtRageのギャラリーで各グループの「>」から「グループをエクスポートする」を選ぶ。
2.エクスポート形式をptgにして、iPad内に保存する。 3.Vitaeを開きギャラリー右上の「+」から「import_OtherLcations」でエクスポートしたptgを読み込む。
★色見本のバックアップ方法
色見本をバックアップする機能はないので、ArtRageで色見本を表示した画面をスクリーンショットに撮っておく。 色見本を復活させる際はその画像をレイヤーとしてインポートし、スポイトツールで一つ一つ色を取り、色見本に登録していく。

It crashes.
I love this program on my computer. I really wanted to use it on my iPad, but it has crashed twice erasing my work suddenly. I’m kind of sad about it. It also doesn’t save automatically. I would also love to have the option of choosing the size of the work by measurements, not just pixels.
Gute Vorbereitung
Dieses kleine ARV ist tadellos zu verwenden auf dem Pad. Es leistet mir gute Dienste und Entspannung, wenn ich wenig Zeit habe. Leider ist das viel zu selten. Es ist als gute Vorbereitung auf das große, vollständige ARV ideal.
, weil es einfach zu handhaben ist. Dank an die Entwickler

Terrible
This is one of the most poorly designed art programs I have ever come across. It is not easy to navigate and everything you want to do takes several steps. Even increasing a brush size is difficult.
Seems incomplete
I fell in love with Art rage when I bought a tablet for my PC. It was one of the best for media simulation. Recently, I got an iPad and thought id try it. Its great, but laggy where all my other art programs are not. When I first set down my pencil (iPad specific one), it delays, and so a circle has a flat line in it. So, I can't really enjoy it.

Stale App - Supported but very few updates
12 March 2025: I have been using ArtRage for many many years now both on my Mac and iPads. There has been little done other to fix bugs and OS inconsistencies with OS releases and I feel that the app is growing very stale. It needs to be enhanced with more and better tools and functionality. It used to be a go to; but, now is nothing more than a stress busting tool. It’s a shame when apps like this fall through the cracks and it makes it even hard to recommend them.
Time for some healthy and genuinely unique u-dates to the app.

Do not buy
Unless you are 5 yearsold very limited
Könnte ein kleines Update gebrauchen
* GUI passt sich dem Gerät nicht an: am IPad mini 6 sind nicht alle Werkzeuge im Bild, das Klonen-Werkzeug ist komplett unzugänglich, da es sich außerhalb des Bildschirms befindet, das Füll-Werkzeug ragt zur Hälfte heraus.
* Keine Gesten wie 2x tippen für Undo.
* Keine DPI-Einstellung.
Fazit: Nette Spielerei aber keine ernsthafte Mal-App.

Good. (No nevermind they gotta update this)
You may have to go to preferences to adjust some things though the painting is by far the most realistic. This version is the same as the other one but it has an option to turn the colors metallic I think. You may wanna get the cheaper version if you don't care for that. It doesn't auto save like most apps, so when you exit it, it resets (edit: Yeah no art rage really tests my mental strength because I put in thirty minutes of work and I exited for one moment and it all dispeared) I'm going here every time I get angry at art rage cause sometimes I leave for another app or something for reference and when I come back an entire layer that i painted is gone cause ArtRage didn't save it it happens often. Also with with high resolutions it does this thing where it zooms in a bit and you can't zoom out and another thing I was painting and somehow the reference just disappeared from my screen even though it was on the tab. Ok I left for one second after I spent hours on a a painting and it being gone happened again I'm deleting this app I'm hitting my hand hurts from hitting the table and this is 5 dollars wasted

Icons turn generic
I don’t know why but suddenly the thumbnails all turned generic the the ArtRage logo. I have dozens of artwork and I now have to spend time opening each one to find it.
Brush Shape
It would be nice to have an option to SEE the brush cursor/shape BEFORE I make a stroke. Like most digital painting software.
