Please update thankssssss ### 3/5 — Trying to but but cannot *2023-03-24* How else can I upgrade this app please ### 3/5 — Love this app but….. *2021-11-07* Can you fix or improve the zooming in your apps including the other one please fix that ### 4/5 — App keeps crashing. *2021-09-16* Unusable. Keeps crashing. Bought both Vector Q and Imagengine. Update 9/16/21, contacted developer, he responded immediately. I am able to use VectorQ in conjunction with Imaengine. App no longer crashing. ### 4/5 — Great app, bought it 'on the spot', but: *2021-05-24* Liked what I was able to do, lots of exploration left, too! One little niggle, though: because Apple makes file-extensions sort of "whatever", it renamed a jpg from my phone to jpeg when I *shared it to my iPad.... That's fine, even though the OS hides file extensions from users and won't allow changing them directly! But when I wrote a quick shortcut to open a selected photo from the "camera roll" (old terminology) the action failed; it or the system displayed an error claiming that Imaengine could not handle files with the "Unknown Filetype '.jpeg'". How stupid is that? A failure of sytem flexibility. I guess the developer has to add jpeg file-types as acceptable input. Seriously, a jpeg is a jpg. This was news in 1992? Please add the ability to input files with the jpg, jpeg, jpe, and other names for jay-pegs!! It would be great if we could have the ability to name the file extension of saved (*shared in Applese) work-files. It would be really cool if we could save directly (*share as) .jpg .jpeg (or .gif or .pdf, possibly other vector formats). That's a lot to ask, but as I'm a 'creative', boundaries are difficult for me.... ### 4/5 — Thank you *2021-05-06, version 1.0.1* Thanks for listening Now that I’ve had some time to spend with VectorQ, my initial reactions are confirmed. VectorQ is not suitable for iPnone. Yeah, it has tons of bells and whistles, but the interface is arcane and uses way more of the screen then it should Imaengine does what I need Remember.... KISS Keep It Simple Stupid Thanks again for giving us back this app ### 5/5 — I really appreciate the developer *2021-05-03* I’m not going to lie when they changed the app like many other long time users I absolutely hated it and left a very bad review, I really appreciate Luis the creator listening to our feedback and releasing a seperate app of what this app used to be on the App Store :) nothing but respect ### 5/5 — Thanks!! *2021-04-22* It’s not often you get what you want! Thanks for keeping the simple version of this app going!! It’s a 5 star app across the board for all 3 vector apps. I will be supporting this app via unlock features! Keep it up love these apps!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bought this *2024-03-05* I bought this and now it says no data found. Wants me to buy it again. ### 1/5 — Rip-off *2023-01-26* Don’t think you’re going to just make 1 quick svg. The all may be free, but if you want to export ONE svg, you better dish out that $4.99. Sorry, not paying $4.99 to never use this app again. Thanks, but no thanks. Maybe you should just go ahead & make the app $4.99 instead of letting me waste my time creating my image just to be shut down with the faux “free” option ### 1/5 — No compren el upgrade *2021-08-10* La app no sirve, cuando trato de seleccionar ir al editor (go to editor) la aplicación cierra automáticamente. ### 1/5 — Crashes & have to pay to download *2021-08-07* Crashed when I tried to use the editor button. You cannot save or even air drop anything without paying $3.99. Disappointed, I downloaded in order to follow a tutorial and make a project. Lost my download afterwards. ### 1/5 — Used to be great app not anymore/ask for money to save in your phone. I *2021-06-28* I purchase this app 1 year ago .I don’t have a problem saving the picture back than. Now when I try to save my work in my phone it ASK FOR 2.99 to save a picture. ### 1/5 — Bullsh* *2021-04-22* Thanks for stealing money from people ### 2/5 — Saving as JPG & PNG doesn’t work *2022-04-02* App automatically quits/closes without an error message when I export as a JPG or PNG. ### 2/5 — This is a totally different app to the previous one *2021-06-11, version 1.1.1* I had paid for the previous one but somehow found myself migrated to Vector Q. The previous app produced a relatively sharp crisp auto trace while Vector Q is basically rubbish at auto tracing but tries to be more of an editor which I don’t need or want. So I tried to migrate back to the original by downloading it and restoring purchase but of course surprise surprise, the restore purchase doesn’t verify. I nevertheless try the old app (without paying for it again), and the auto trace is almost as bad as Vector Q. Really disappointed. ### 2/5 — Still different *2021-05-05* The “new” Imaengine that is now available - still isn’t exactly like the old version. The options when vectorizing don’t get as crisp with a good photo. What happened?! If it’s not broke don’t fix it! ### 3/5 — this App is lovely-Gave a 3 BECAUSE I PAID NOW *2025-04-27* you say buy again? talk to Apple! They are the possible problem-my account name "celephane" @ my old isp/ was taken- i did not create my apple id + I SCREWED! please help. THANK YOU Linda ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ja *2025-06-17* Edit: Nach Neustart ist das Problem behoben, volle Punktzahl. ### 5/5 — !!!PLEASE *2023-11-29, version 1.1.91* Back my purchase please It’s not working after installation on new iPhone ### 5/5 — Yes *2022-12-21, version 1.1.91* Довольно давно рисую в этом приложении, инстаграм @edu.narabotu. Приложение отличное, но в этой версии уже нет простых режимов с примитивной интерполяцией, с грубыми зубами, со случайной цветокоррекцией. Стало очень много мыла и сглаживания, простора для самостоятельной работы не остается. Уважаемые разработчики, прошу вернуть режимы обработки из первой версии, например Rombushes и другие зубастые из Enigma. Спасибо. ### 5/5 — This an excellent app *2022-09-03* The amount of control it provides when tooning the video is amazing, hopefully this won’t chance with updates, ### 5/5 — needs TRIANGLES II *2022-07-02* can you please add back the TRIANGLES II option to this version of the app, similar to your school edition, please and thank you ### 5/5 — Hooooooooooly wow! *2022-03-14* I downloaded this app on the recommendation of Liz Koehler Brown (on Skillshare) who uses it for her vector work in Affinity Designer. From my first photo vectorization I was blown away! Great vectorization immediately, and utterly easy and intuitive to edit nodes and use in-app erasers and brushes. Free to download but I immediately looked to see how to support with $ in-app ($3.99 for ability to export). Absolutely delighted with this and it’s going to make my design work FAR easier and faster. For those who have used Adobe Illustrator “convert to vectors”, this seems better and faster to me. Super happy and grateful to Luis. The world is a crappy place right now but for digital artists it is a golden age. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2021-10-09* This is a great program. Taking pencil sketches to vector art in no time. Really fantastic. ### 5/5 — Incredible graphic app *2021-08-27* Hello. Thank you very much for tour work. Your app is fantastic and so usefull. Keep going. ### 5/5 — Thank you Luis! *2021-08-13* So very pleased to have this interface back. Thank you Luis! Perhaps a pain to maintain but so many of us were very happy with the original app. Please, please now restore the full, original preset windows, just as they were! ### 5/5 — Underrated *2021-07-24* Why does this only have three stars? This app is amazing. It’s better on the iPad, yeah, but you can still do a lot of cool stuff with it on mobile. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
