Kind of pointless
Nothing works, doesn’t recognize the Apple Pencil. Does not allow you to draw on pictures.
The best
I use this app frequently and it works perfectly. Excellent customer support and a great Facebook group

Just stole money this program is not working 👎
Great find!!
I am a watercolor/colored pencil artist who has always “eyeballed” my drawings for painting. I’m not too bad at it but had to spend long hours getting dimensions and perspectives right on buildings and other mechanical or architectural structures. Recently, I was commissioned for the first time to paint a house which took hours just to draw making my pay next to nothing for the work I put in. I was really pleased with the painting and did another as a gift for a friend. This time I purchased an art projector to make the drawing go faster but the projected image was terrible for detail and again I spent way too much time hand drawing the house. I searched for a faster way to draw these types of images to sell and to give more gifts like these and discovered Camera Lucida. Wow! After watching the training videos and purchasing a $17 iPad bed stand from Amazon to hold the iPad above the canvas, I had a great tool! I finished drawing the third house for painting with every small detail perfect in about an hour and a half instead of five or six hours going back and forth with a small ruler from a blown up photo to my canvas (on an 12x16” piece of watercolor paper). Now I feel like I can make money by spending much less time drawing these. Thank you, Camera Lucida, for such a great tool!

how does it work?
Either higher learning curve than expected or doesn’t work as advertised. Can’t get the mirror trick to work and flashlight doesn’t seem to work. Also so far haven’t gotten it to connect with my laptop.
Very Helpful (and smaller than the old machines!)
I’ve used this kind of equipment years ago, but it was the size of a phone booth (if you know what that is). Haha. You do need some sort of tripod or bracket to use this but how else would you? I just transferred a sketch from a notebook to paper with it and it worked great.
The app styling is very “early iPhone” and I’d like to see it updated but it works well and has been maintained.
The in app purchase sounds helpful. I found the controls under the camera icon. You have to print out a paper for the camera to register its perspective.
I admit I bought this one because the other apps were expensive subscriptions. 👍🏻 I’m not disappointed at all.

Excited
Thank you Pete for what looks like, in my observation of this app, to be something that will bring me tons of pleasure to my already artistic journey.
Easy to Use
Just what I needed to check my freehand drawing! So easy to use too
Drawing
Best app ever used
The best
Simply the best drawing too ever
Práctica
App, muy sencilla y práctica para dibujar. De gran ayuda para ilustraciones
Yuck!
I had high hopes for this app. However, to be able to draw, you have to place the phone onto something next to the art paper. Most of the phone has to be over the paper. Which means you need to hold the phone down with one hand while drawing with the other to attempt to steady the image. You don’t get your full page to draw with. If you want to purchase an apparatus to hold the phone, that cost more; therefore, you are having to hold your phone, it is not steady and your image moves around as you draw. The controls to adjust are buried underneath small tabs. It does not make sense as to what these control. Even when you use the helps, it’s still not clear. I wish I could get my money back. I will move onto something different.

My great “secret” tool
I love this tool! It allowed me to be a better and more confident artist. It’s genius.
Best app ever
I’m having so much fun tracing and painting. Its fantastic.
Easily the best drawing aid on iOS
The title says it all. Don’t be fooled by the imitators out there. This is the OG app and it has made my art easier to make and better than I could do without it.
Fantastic tool!
I have found this to be a FANTASTIC tool for my pencil drawings. I can get precise perspectives and placement of eyes and detail that can make or break a piece of art. I’m a BIG detail artist and find that this has been so helpful to me. I have used an opaque projector for years but this app has almost made that piece of equipment obsolete and has sure taken preparation steps away. No more printing a photo to use…just download and go! Its AWESOME!!

New iOS 17 frauds
Removing multi camera function is a huge loss for me. Hope multi camera function will be available in future updates, thanks!
