Inexpensive yet Great Tool to create SVG files
Being an OLD OLD school computer guy without graphics knowledge, not wanting to “rent” high priced graphics software, Inkpad was an easy choice at very little cost to accomplish my need to produce exact drawings and export them as SVG files.
The app is quite good but with poor interoperability
I really wanted to like this app. It's an affordable vector illustrator with a very efficient and intuitive interface. It even has a lineage going back to a nice open source offering. The only thing that is preventing me from liking and using this app is that it cannot really import SVG files. Every SVG file I tried, including ones generated by Inkpad itself, come through horribly distorted. Borders are all wrong, text sizes are out of control, and generally it would take hours to correct the mistakes in the imported image. That coupled with the fact that inkpad has its own format and stores its files in a hidden location means that you have no chance at meaningful interoperability with other editors. If you can commit to using Inkpad exclusively, this editor would be quite nice. However, I need to be able to import assets and edit files on my Mac as well. I simply cannot do that with Inkpad.

Response from developer
I’m sorry to hear you are having trouble with SVG import and export. Inkpad has been tested with many example files and graphic design apps. Please get in touch so that we can figure out what is the cause of the issue.

Inkpad vector, focused, 3.3.16 works on OS26
Inkpad by Envoza v3.3.16 said to work on OS26. I haven’t tried as I’m still on 18.7. It’s a great vector illustration tool. Exports out to png, svg, svgz, pdf, and more. Handy imports png and pdf into Procreate app etc. Some keyboard shortcuts. Works offline. Unique menu but fun to use. The YouTube (4yrs ago) tutorials help. Best instruction are on its website. I chose the yearly subscription, because I enjoy using it, and I want them to continue.

A good balance
I’ve used it for many years. It’s easy to use with a clean interface. It doesn’t have as many features as illustrator and I don’t really miss those ones anyway. Perfect app for personal projects. WELL worth the money.
Fichiers SVG non compatibles
Le programme est un petit peu plus intéressant que les versions gratuites, mais les fichiers ne sont pas du tout compatibles avec les découpeuses laser ou mécanique …
Не понятно приложение пока не купишь подписку
Очень давно скачивала это приложение, уже не помню изначально оно таким было или сейчас стало.
Решила вспомнить. Но на экране горит купи подписку. Даже интерфейс посмотреть не возможно. Знаю, что есть пробный бесплатный период. Но хоть давали бы один лист без него, можно даже без со-ранения, чтоб понять, надо ли дальше пробовать или нет. Теперь, пока я точно знать не буду, что мне нужен вектор, сюда даже не зайду. Хоть и цена приемлема, но зачем мне подписываться на то, что может быть «котом в мешке»

One of the easiest and least complicated app for graphic design.
No possibility to look in the app before subscribing
Dear developers, I was thinking about purchasing, but obviously I won't, because you just don't give me a chance to look at your app without immediate subscription. I see that you're offering free month, but I even haven't taken a look into this app! Thanks for nothing...
A Solid Vector Art Application
I’m new to vector art (who’s mostly used Procreate) and I’ve been pretty pleased with this app (enough to become a paid subscriber). There’s a bit of a learning curve, and the interface can be a bit confusing (mostly when it comes to things like copying & pasting), but the tutorials have been adequate.
One major thing that I wish this app had was a comprehensive mirroring feature.
Currently, to accomplish a perfectly symmetrical object, you must create half of it, copy the half, flip the half, and align it with the original. Then there are issues resolving a gap that appears down the middle. This necessitates combining paths, and that creates overlapping issues, and so on. Also, you better be finished with the design before you manually mirror, because any changes will require a repetition of the process.
Another feature that I’d appreciate (if possible with vector art) would be the ability to enable/disable the outline on a per-section basis along with the ability to fade it at the ends.
Good app, though!

Отлично
Первое впечатление - восторг! Простота и удобство, без лагов и наворотов, мне так давно не хватало такой программы! И цена более чем приемлемая, спасибо
Leider nicht wie gewünscht nutzbar bzw. svg-Datei nicht kompatibel mit anderen Grafikprogrammen
Ich nutze Inkpad mit iPad Air. Die erstellten exportierten svg-Dateien beinhalten keine Linien oder Flächen und somit ist das Programm für mich sinnlos.
Grundsätzlich zufrieden, aber…
…es fehlt definitiv die Möglichkeit, die Größe von Objekten direkt (in mm) sehen und ändern zu können.
Selbst Coreldraw konnte das schon.
Manchmal möchte ich Zeichnungsobjekte (z.B. Karten) millimetergenau ausdrucken können.

Down with all subscriptions too much trouble too complicated for me
I don’t like subscriptions either give me a lifetime or don’t bother… Even if you might possibly have a blend tool…..
Bouncing menu not good
Been using this app since 2019 and not a fan of the new bouncing menu or pop up addition. When you click anything it kind of bounces up instead of just opening like normal. If there’s a way to turn this feature off, let me know!! Seems unnecessary.
Sneaky charge
Purchased the trial, took yearly subscription straight away. Very annoyed.
Compra fallida
Llevo una semana intentando comprar la mensualidad y no acepta la compra
A wonderful splash screen to subscribe…
But nothing else. I’m not subscribing just to test. There’s too much competition in the field to subscribe and test. I don’t need to save, I don’t mind being kicked off after 10min, the only reason to set up forced subscribe is hoping people forget to cancel. I am a dev and believe in paying for software. But the user should decide if the app is worth paying for. this is just sleazy.

Paid App now Subscription Only
I paid for this app previously to make diagrams for my dissertation. I recently needed to adapt these diagrams for a new project. I was surprised to find that the app was now subscription-only, and its function to “restore purchase” only gave me errors. I could not even download my old work without signing up for some form of subscription (at least there was a free month). Emails to the developer weeks ago have gone unanswered, so I can’t give this app any form of positive review.

Works with 1st gen Apple pencil.
I just realized that i use Apple Pencil first gen with Inkpad by Envoza. I’ve always enjoyed using inkpad on the 10.5 inch i have and will continue use. In fact, it is ipdated to iPadOS 17.2.
