This seems incredibly arbitrary. It limits what can be done with the app. ### 4/5 — Floor plans *2021-11-27, version 1.1.0* Is this app good for also making floor plans and layouts? I’m hoping it will work. I am going to try this app out and give it some stars after I make a floor plan then I’ll select how many stars. ### 4/5 — Needs a better brush engine, lacks pressure sensitive drawing *2017-05-06, version 1.0.2* This App is wonderful, but it's missing some vital brush options . I would love to draw like in illustrator draw. The ability to draw different types of lines, with varying tilt and pressure settings is a must. It doesn't take advantage of the Apple Pencil's technology which is a real shame. ### 2/5 — Missing "placing text on path" *2016-08-09, version 1.0.2* I can't find anyway to place a text on a path. Without this feature it can't compete with the Graphic app. ### 4/5 — Powerful but buggy *2016-06-08, version 1.0.2* Great app but has some flaws. My main issue is combining oaths sometimes yields unfavorable results, especially with circles. Combing two circles over lapping causes one of the edges to straighten a little leaving a new path that is not similar to the two overlaping ### 5/5 — Still Testing, but... *2016-05-24, version 1.0.2* I just quit using the vector graphic app I have been using for the last several years to use this instead. So far, it has several areas in which it is superior, and a corporation I don't particularly like recently purchased the other app. Folks, please just read the info before you download. No one tricked you into anything. ### 2/5 — Not as good as Graphic *2016-05-22, version 1.0.1* The real killer here is the keyboard shortcuts. Other than that, it's UI is non-intuitive, with the majority of features buried deep in nested menus. Beside the keyboard features, there is nothing here that makes me want to use this instead of Graphic. ### 5/5 — Wow! I was expecting to use iDraw (Autodesk Graphics) forever *2016-05-05, version 1.0.1* This program is amazing basically just like iDraw or Graphics but with the addition of some amazing physical keboard shortcuts and additional features. Amazing!! ### 5/5 — Great start *2016-05-04, version 1.0.1* I think this app has a lot of potential. There are a lot of features here that aren't available in other apps that really set this apart, such as being able to create custom guides, and changing the registration points on objects for rotating or scaling. I was a little surprised to see no option to set a text size and am hoping one is added. I can't see faulting this app for not allowing exports in the free version. Any comparable app that allows the same functionality costs $9.99 on here, and you don't get to try it out before hand. ### 5/5 — Excellent... *2016-05-02, version 1.0.1* I use this app on ipad air 2. It is outstanding, just when I zoom in it locks. ### 5/5 — Categorized in productivity makes sense *2016-04-30, version 1.0.1* This is the best vector-based Illustration app that I've tried. I've tried all my of them on iOS. These guys are headed where Affinity Designer is headed in terms of unseating some of the mores traditional apps for illustration. Keep up the great work ### 5/5 — I have been waiting for this! *2016-04-27, version 1.0* Finally... a precise vector drawing app I can actually use for real UI design. Super powerful and easy to use. This app has every feature I could want. Works amazingly well with the Apple Pencil too. ### 5/5 — A superb start *2016-04-26, version 1.0* Bez has made me believe that I might spend more time on iPad producing great work in the near future. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Layers? *2021-12-28, version 1.1.0* There’s an option called layers with no way to add layers. ### 1/5 — Why is this still in the App Store? *2019-10-03, version 1.0.2* This app has not been updated in a very long time and barely functions any more. ### 1/5 — Abandoned *2018-10-29, version 1.0.2* Looks like one of the recent iOS updates has broken the menu system.. not sure when it happened since I haven’t used this app in quite a while. For an alternative, check out the Affinity apps. Bez was pretty good, but it definitely seems like it’s been abandoned. ### 1/5 — Extremely basic functionality *2018-04-15, version 1.0.2* Missing any even slightly more advanced operations such as offsets. UX is straight from the 90 and the app also has it's fair share of bugs. But worst of all is that its completely abandoned. No updates... ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2018-03-06, version 1.0.2* This app would be great if there was an actual guide or tutorials on how to use it. I want to use Boolean operations to create complex shapes but it's greyed out and there's no info on it anywhere. Extremely frustrating and waste of money. The "guide" is a single paragraph that tells you how to create a project. That's it. Their YouTube channel is totally empty without any how-to videos. Don't you want people to know how to use your product? I would not recommend this app to anyone until they get this under control. ### 1/5 — What? *2016-04-22, version 1.0* Bez looked so promising. Then it was easy to use but I couldn't figure out how to USE the image I created. I could only look at it, not export it to my iPAD for use. And, no instructions! ### 1/5 — Typical Bait n Switch *2016-04-18, version 1.0* Looks like a great art app but it is not free. It is essentially useless without unlocking all the features which cost $7.99. Apple should crack down on developers using this tactic. ### 1/5 — Глючная *2016-04-17, version 1.0* Программа глючит, рисует неадекватно. Все функции - платные! ### 2/5 — No svg export! *2018-01-26, version 1.0.2* After learning to use it, there is no svg export, what's the point? The paid version has it I suppose, but that's just wrong marketing to not let you save it as vector. ### 2/5 — De las mejores *2016-12-08, version 1.0.2* Muy buena aunque aún necesita corregir algunos problemas sobre todo a la hora de sustraerle una figura a otra, no siempre el resultado es exacto y se notan cambios un poco molesto. Además me gustaría que se pudiera configurar la interface para diestros. Por los demás felicidades esta app promete ser de las mejores ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wow! Ignore ANY Review Less Than 5 Star! *2019-02-22, version 1.0.2* Truly the most powerful vector creating app in the App Store AND ITS FREE! Or the tools you’re given for again FREE is deserving of only praise and gratitude for making it available...did I mention FOR FREE?! Lol highly recommend there’s no risk to install. If you need a Illustrator fami,Ian I reface with layers and well basically Illustrator on the iPad or IPad Pro (who CARES if it doesn’t yet utilize the pressure sensitive feature of our iPad Pros... go use your Mac for the advanced stuff! This app has more free Illustrator-like tools than any other paid app I own (& I own every major one in the App Store as well as many not so well known having spent hundreds of dollars over the years as a pro graphic and multimedia artist and photographer who uses Adobes suite of software since CS1 to CC today so I do know what I’m talking about) Anyway get this app it’s ad free and as high quality as they get from attractive user interface to functionality to results produced the only critique needed is with the artist or pseudo artist using the app not the app itself- to give this less than 5 stars is like giving a home a low rating because the hammer used building it didn’t have the type of handle you prefer... WHO CARES lol. Just get it and pay the 7.99 to output SVG and to your clouds which FYI for FREE you can access files on your clouds and no ads! Lol I could go on and on but won’t just get it and learn yourself it simply works... pardon my frustration and growing intolerance with greedy ppl looking for everything while paying NOTHING or expecting WAY more than they pay when why they pay for works perfectly. THATS ONLY REASON this app isn’t a 5 star overall as every less than 5 star reviewer is rooted what they wish it also had when it has way more than any other.... FOR FREE even with the in-app upgrade worth every penny at twice to 3 times the 7.99. ### 5/5 — Excellent illustration application *2018-12-22, version 1.0.2* This is my first time to write a review for an app, but really this application deserves. I can say that this application is a very trusted tool for the artist who like to work anywhere. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2018-04-27, version 1.0.2* For the select same style alone, I love this app! I also would like to see more boolean pathfinder type of functions. ### 5/5 — Slick *2018-03-12, version 1.0.2* Pretty amazing for a FREE app. ### 5/5 — Best free vector drawing app! *2018-03-06, version 1.0.2* I use illustrator on my desktop to make my illustrations but needed something for my ipad. This is a perfect alternative! Thank you for this app! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2017-12-14, version 1.0.2* It includes many features other paid apps for iPad don’t. I consider this the best free app you can find on the AppStore. I really recommend it and thank you for making this app ### 5/5 — Pretty great *2016-12-13, version 1.0.2* I'm not a great artist but I can still tell this is an amazing app. Finally more professional quality apps are coming to the iPad Pro. ### 5/5 — Finally! *2016-08-28, version 1.0.2* Almost all my illustrations are done using Adobe Illustrator on desktop and laptop Macs. Have been frustrated by all the want-to-be new apps for the Pro and Pencil that tout themselves as being an all in one. What 95% of them lack...even the so called "vector" apps...is true Bezier features. This app does what it says, and is truly as close to Adobe Illustrator on an iPad Pro as anything out there...even the Draw app for Creative Cloud subscribers which leaves a lot to be desired. After testing this app for 15 minutes I knew this was the one to get, and purchase the Unlock Everything...a bargain at $7.99 after spending much more than that on some of these other so-call Pro sketchers and graphic apps. One note: would like to see some more features such as Pathfinder, Text on Path...but this is a new app and having dabbled in app development I know that these things take time to further mature...look forward to more feature sets. ### 5/5 — My vector app of choice, so far *2016-07-29, version 1.0.2* Still testing this, but so far, it's my vector app of choice. There's a bit of a limitation of stroke options, which may be of concern for illustrators and cartoonists. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2016-07-03, version 1.0.2* It's like a mini Adobe Illustrator!
