### 1/5 — No required anchoring!

*2025-10-22*

The app should not require that art should be placed on a surface. Art needs prep work long before it is ready to be placed on a surface.

**Developer response:** Hi there! I’m a bit confused by your feedback. Can you please send an email to info@davincieye.com and let me know what you mean? I’m wondering if there is confusion over how the app is supposed to work. The app is meant to be an alternative to an art projector, which would always need a surface to be projected to. Usually the prep work for the project would be done before putting on the device.

### 1/5 — Drift ruins it

*2025-08-22*

Way too much drift. Every time I go to draw anything or trace anything, the drift makes it unusable.

### 5/5 — Game changer! And so improved!

*2025-06-03*

The new surface calibration tool solved the minor quibbles I had with earlier versions of the app. This app is an absolute game changer. I create my designs in Photoshop and illustrator, and place the images on a surface and trace over them. I’m presently using it to create four 24“ x 82“ tile murals— first by creating photo mock ups in situ, then tracing my designs onto the blank tiles themselves.

This is the most real world functional app on my Vision Pro. Highly recommended!

### 1/5 — Almost there….

*2025-03-12*

Looking forward to the day this app supports anchors. No updates in months :(

**Developer response:** We just made some huge updates that improve the tracking. The app works phenomenal for large artwork now. Unfortunately the way that anchors work in VisionPro it does not imrprove accuracy ay all so we temporarily abandoned that effort. Making giant drawings on walls, sidewalks, and on canvases is really good with these new updates. Reach out to info@davincieye.com I'd be happy to chat more about the updates.

### 2/5 — Not working as expected

*2025-02-16*

The anchorless mode is still drifting making it unusable for now. Will there be an anchor mode ? I was also not able to use the mural mode at all.

**Developer response:** We just made some huge updates that improve the tracking. The app works phenomenal for large artwork now. Unfortunately the way that anchors work in VisionPro it does not imrprove accuracy ay all so we temporarily abandoned that effort.

### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work

*2024-06-10*

The image starts to shake as you work and the position of your head moves moves. This makes it almost impossible to work.

### 3/5 — Too much drift

*2024-06-02*

It’s really sad that they’ve stopped updating this app. It’s a great idea, but the drift is too much to be useful.

### 4/5 — No controls to tilt the image

*2024-03-28*

This is definitely a useful tool. There is room for improvement. For instance, currently there are no controls to tilt the projected image so that it aligns with the canvas on my easel.  The image is projected perfectly vertical as if it were on a wall.  Canvases on easels are typically not vertical.  They are typically tilted back somewhat.

**Developer response:** We just made some huge updates that improve the tracking and updated the app to tilt to the position of the canvas automatically. The app works phenomenal for large artwork now. Unfortunately the way that anchors work in VisionPro it does not imrprove accuracy ay all so we temporarily abandoned that effort.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2024-03-06*

It works as I dreamed. I drew on my letter size printer paper.
The photo is slightly moving while I‘m drawing, but I can keep my angle.
I love this app.

### 3/5 — Too much drift to be usable

*2024-03-02*

This is a great concept, but I find it unusable as even the smallest amount of drift disrupts any accurate tracing.
