### 4/5 — 能不能细节保留多一点

*2025-09-23*

能不能细节保留多一点，转为墨水🫟画后认不也来原来是什么东西了

### 2/5 — Es mangelt noch an allen Ecken und Enden

*2025-06-05*

Die Bildmodellierung kann mit viel Glück sehr gelungen sein. Bildveränderungen über Ziffern und/oder Buchstaben sind nicht nachvollziehbar weil nicht aussagefähig oder man notiert sich jeden Einstellungsbuchstaben/Ziffer. Die Speicherung über „sichern“ läßt völlig offen, wohin das Bild gespeichert wird. In den Einstellungen kann man keinen Speicherort auswählen/eingeben. Leider bisher unbrauchbar.

### 5/5 — BEST

*2025-04-04, version 1.6.3*

I love it

### 5/5 — Enhance drawings

*2025-03-17, version 1.6.3*

My pencil drawings are very light.  This app makes them bolder and easier to use as templates in a drawing app with layers.

### 5/5 — Excellent extra for Lino-cutting

*2024-12-04, version 1.6.2*

Really useful app for anyone who wants to turn photos into a lino or block print.

### 5/5 — ¡Sinceramente, Genial!

*2024-09-20, version 1.6.1*

Funciona perfectamente. No entiendo como hay quien se queja de que no le funciona bien. La utilizo como base para diseños en Illustrator y es fantástica. Recomendable 100%.

### 4/5 — 毎回の起動画面が…

*2024-09-15*

Stressful to start the app and not be able to use it right away.
I want to be able to use it as soon as I start it up.

アプリを起動してすぐに使えないのがストレス
最初は気にならなかったけど、毎回なので使う頻度が多いほどストレスになってくる
アプデで起動演出が無くなるのを期待してましたが、何年経っても残念ながら…
カメラアプリとか写真加工アプリはその場でパッと起動して日常的に使いたいので、起動時に待たせられるのは拘りなのかもしれないけどマイナスでしかないです

### 5/5 — Fast, cool, unique

*2024-08-14, version 1.5.0*

Inkwork is easily one of the best art apps in the App Store. I often use it to deconstruct things I’ve finished in color back to a basic b&w outline. 

My 2 wish list items are an even finer line setting on some modes and an option to export as an svg

### 5/5 — Hervorragend

*2024-07-09*

Auch bei Portraits 
Bin sehr beeindruckt

### 5/5 — Fantastica

*2024-04-25, version 1.4.6*

Gioiosamente efficace

### 5/5 — Very good

*2024-03-01, version 1.4.6*

I love using it so far!

### 5/5 — Blooming great x

*2024-02-16, version 1.4.6*

Love love love how the “ink” photos come out just brilliant x

### 1/5 — Это приложение не бесплатное

*2026-02-06*

Приложение скачиваете, но после загрузки, чтобы начать работу, нужно выбрать и оплатить тариф. С какой целью вводить людей в заблуждение и делать его бесплатным?

### 1/5 — Enttäuschend und viel zu teuer

*2025-12-04*

Ich bin schon seit längerer Zeit Besitzer und großer Freund verschiedener Apps dieses Entwicklers. Die Inkwork-Ergebnisse sind auch „gerade so“ noch brauchbar. Wenn ich aber die Nützlichkeit von Brushstroke oder ToonCamera mit Inkwork vergleiche, muss ich leider sagen, dass Inkwork die unglaublichen Abo-Preise (30€ pro Monat, 90€ pro Jahr) sicher nicht wert ist. Außerdem wird man quasi zur 3 Tage-Probephase oder zu Abonnements gezwungen. Dieses aggressives Bezahl-Popup lässt sich nicht schließen - „Erstmal gucken“ ist nicht mehr. Auch nicht für Leute, die Inkwork früher einmal gekauft hatten!! Schade und unverständlich, denn die anderen Apps des Entwicklers sind eigentlich sehr gut.

### 1/5 — A trial would be good

*2025-09-30, version 2.0.2*

I have high hopes for this but I won’t buy it without being able to try it first. Offer even a three day trial and let people try it before they buy it. The price doesn’t seem like much but when EVERY single app and gadget has a payment or a subscription, it starts to add up and I’ve had enough of paying for subpar quality too often.

### 1/5 — Can’t do anything without paying

*2025-08-26, version 2.0.1*

Opens to a screen of images that may or may not have been made with this app—and a pay wall. So yeah, it’s free to download and they get a download stat, but there is no way to try it before you pay the $6. Feels like a scam.

### 1/5 — Куета

*2025-06-16*

Нет ниодного бесплатного

### 1/5 — si può fare di più

*2025-05-12, version 1.6.6*

sostanzialmente questa bella app non è mai cambiata nel tempo, non ci sono stati cambiamenti degni di nota: sempre gli stessi effetti, mai un cambiamento ai comandi principali, non una novità. Sono anni che ce l'ho nel mio telefono ed è sempre uguale a se stessa.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2024-07-09, version 1.5.0*

I’ve had to give this a one star so I could leave a review, otherwise I’d give no stars at all! Your artwork looks nothing like it does on the site advertising page. It’s absolute rubbish! only saving grace is that it’s only 6.99. Anymore and I’d have been smashing my iPhone so I’ll never pay for anything so rubbish ever again!

### 1/5 — Affreux

*2024-04-23*

Ne correspond pas du tout à la présentation, une fois payé, les styles de dessins proposent sont affreux, aucune finesse, des gribouillis…
À fuir+++++!

### 1/5 — 全然良くない

*2022-03-25*

人物の写真を抽象的にしたいのに
ダレ？というものしか出来上がりません。

### 1/5 — Can’t save to my photos

*2021-07-20, version 1.4.1*

I used this a lot now on a new iPad I just downloaded it but I can’t save the image anymore. What’s the point ? So disappointed

### 5/5 — exceptional

*2026-09-02, version 2.0.6*

this app is incredible so glad i got it before the price skyrocketed, cuz i’d probably have to shell out 80 bucks to own joy joy

### 5/5 — Good program

*2026-05-18, version 2.0.6*

Used it a while

### 5/5 — Drawing

*2026-04-11, version 2.0.6*

Always interesting not always useful, but that’s my choice

### 5/5 — Best app for graphic design.

*2026-03-22, version 2.0.6*

I love it!

### 5/5 — SO much fun

*2026-01-19, version 2.0.6*

I’ve spent many hours with this app. It’s perfect for certain photos and can really transform a blah image into something artistically beautiful. Now I wish there were a pro version for the iPad….

### 5/5 — Dad of tattoo  daughter

*2025-12-23, version 2.0.5*

Wonderfully fun and creative way for a daughter get dad to buy off on beautifully intentional designs.     \s\ dad

### 5/5 — “Random generator” of artwork is needed

*2025-11-15, version 2.0.4*

Please consider adding a “random generator” tool to create random arts. Thanks for the new updates.

With Kind Regards ~

### 5/5 — Parfait

*2025-09-12, version 2.0.1*

Enfin une application vraiment dédiée à nos besoins et pour un prix démocratique ce qui ne gâche rien

### 5/5 — Laser burner?

*2025-08-25, version 2.0.1*

If you’re using a laser burner, Inkscape is a must have tool!

### 5/5 — Can create amazing images

*2025-07-16, version 2.0.1*

I've been using this app for years and have created some images that sold well at a few art shows I've done. The new video feature is really impressive!
