### 2/5 — bugs.

*2026-05-09*

worked in the beginning but now no matter if my screen lock is on, or off it’s always sideways. i’ve deleted the app and reinstalled it and nothing is working. it’s annoying me a lot because nothing is helping. it’s a bug and idk how to fix it. if you could please help i’d love to support your app.

**Developer response:** Hey Layn, this issue should now be fixed with version 1.5 , if it is not please reach out to me so I can get more details and help fix this. support@nagohcreative.com

### 5/5 — Fantastic Art Assistant

*2026-03-13*

As an artist, I have often been frustrated by the amount of time it takes to lay out framework of a drawing. I want to get to the good part where it becomes an expression of my viewpoint, not spend hours building up a boring base. This app makes it so quick and easy to get to the good part! The app creators must be artists themselves because they knew exactly what I needed. You will love it!

### 1/5 — 1 star

*2026-03-08*

It’s always side ways and it pisses me off

**Developer response:** I am so sorry to hear that, that has not been anyone else experience. Do you have screen lock on? I have pushed out a new update. If you still have issues please reach out to support and I will get this corrected for you! Please download version 1.2

EchoDraw 2.0: Your Reference, Anywhere You Draw

EchoDraw started as a simple idea — a camera overlay for tracing, no lightbox or projector needed. 2.0 turns it into a fuller toolkit for artists, built around one big addition: AR Mode.

AR Mode Instead of tracing on your phone screen, project your reference image directly onto a real surface — a canvas on an easel, a sheet of paper on your desk, even a wall — and draw with your actual materials while the reference stays locked in physical space.

Multiple references at once. Pin up to three images around your workspace — a front view and a side view for a portrait, for instance — so you can glance between them without swiping.
Real manipulation. Pinch to resize, rotate with two fingers, and drag to reposition — the same gestures you already know from every other app.
Mirror check. Flip your reference instantly to spot proportion mistakes your eye has gotten used to — a trick every trained artist uses.
Mirror-line guide. Drop a vertical guide line onto a live subject to check symmetry while drawing a portrait or figure from life.
Sight-size lock. A classic atelier measuring technique: lock your exact viewing position, and EchoDraw tells you if you've drifted so your proportions stay accurate.
Color eyedropper. Tap anything in the real world to sample its exact color — handy for mixing paint to match.
Progress photos. Capture your progress straight to your Photos library as you work.
Placement that remembers. Save your project and your AR setup is saved with it — walk away from a big canvas and come back days later to find your reference exactly where you left it.

Grids, Filters, and Projects

New perspective, isometric, and golden ratio grid overlays, alongside the classic grid, to help with proportion and composition.
A new image filter panel — adjust brightness and contrast, add blur, convert to grayscale, or pull out edges to simplify a complex reference.
Save your tracing sessions as projects and resume any of them later, complete with your reference image, grid, filters, and progress.

Idea Generator Stuck on what to draw? Generate a fresh prompt by subject (portrait, animal, nature, still life, fantasy, urban) and difficulty (quick 5-minute sketches up to full rendered studies). Save the ones you like — they stay on your device between sessions.

Everything Else A redesigned toolbar, a smoother trial experience, and general stability improvements throughout.
