Really cool but some bugs that make it unusable
It also doesn’t have a way to zoom in to photos in the reference view. You can open them fullscreen, but there’s no options beyond that like, horizontal/vertical flipping, greyscale view, or the aforementioned ability to zoom in or out.
The canvas is the only way to do zoom on an image, but it has an issue where if the image is selected with the bounding box around it, it gets real glitchy. The image jumps around the canvas, panning is stuttery, it causes the OS copy+paste text prompt to pop up, and resizing takes a few seconds before it starts happening.
Dev if you read this please consider fixing these issues as this would be an amazing app!

Thank you so much for trying out DarkRef and for reporting this issue. I have just recently released a fix in the app that should resolve the crashing issues and a few more improvements and would love it if you could try the app again to see if this has resolved your issue. I am really sorry you encountered this and if you encounter any further issues please do reach out through the in app bug reporting link and I will happily address any issues you have. The app is very early in development so this type of feedback is extremely helpful, so thank you so much for taking the time to try it out and for reporting this!
Good bones but full of bugs
Response from developer
Thank you so much for trying out DarkRef! I built it for that exact reason, I love pureref, but I work across multiple devices and was honestly surprised so many other people had the same workflow and have downloaded it. I've made a few updates recently to try reduce the bugs and make the app a bit easier to use, especially on iOS/iPad, would love it if you could try it out and let me know if you're still encountering any issues. Thanks again!
It works but…problems.
Response from developer
Thank you so much for trying out the app! It is really new so there are definitely still some issues that I'm trying to iron out and didn't expect so many people to try it out so quickly. I just made an update recently to try fix up the majority of the bugs, but please do let me know if you still encounter any issues and thanks again!
Pretty decent for a free Refrence board!
Response from developer
