### 1/5 — I’m sorry

*2026-07-26*

My question is why you have to pay for a tracing app

**Developer response:** It's fair to ask why a tracing app has a cost. Unlocking premium removes all ads and gives you the full range of tracing intensity, all our stock images, and grid customization. We offer a few different ways to get that, but we understand if it's not what you're looking for.

### 4/5 — Mixed feelings

*2026-06-30*

It’s a great app, but half of the stuff is locked, but yeah, really nice!

**Developer response:** Happy to hear you're enjoying the app! We get the 'mixed feelings' part - many of the advanced features and the full stock library are indeed part of premium, which also removes all ads. If the core tool works for you, there are a few ways to unlock everything.

### 1/5 — ..

*2026-06-27, version 1.0.41*

Can u guys just stop with the ads at the top? This is very frustrating as I have to trace my digital art onto paper..

### 5/5 — I love this app! I have no problems

*2026-06-22*

This is the best app to make crafts and stuff! I’m struggling making a craft of something, I can trace it! Best app ever! I have struggled tracing on photos and other apps. Then this app saved me. All I have to do is turn brightness on or lights on👍

**Developer response:** It's fantastic to hear Lightbox draw is making your crafts so much easier! That's exactly what we built it for, especially when other tracing methods can be a real struggle. Glad the brightness feature is hitting the mark for you too.

### 5/5 — Obsessed!

*2026-05-30, version 1.0.37*

This app makes tracing SO easy!!!

### 1/5 — Screen Moves?

*2026-05-26*

How do you have a tracing app where you include a feature where if you move it the paper or your hands when you’re drawing it swipes back to the Home Screen? As a developer you literally have to be dumb to even have this be a feature. The lock button is meaningless if you can still swipe. App is pointless. Youll have more fun drinking toilet water and hitting yourself in the head with a hammer than trying to use this app. DO NOT INSTALL

**Developer response:** You're right to call out those issues - the image moving around even with the lock on, and the lock button getting triggered accidentally. Both were real problems, and we've actually fixed them in the current version. Updating the app should make a big difference, so the image stays put while you trace.

### 1/5 — App review-bad

*2026-05-13*

This app is near useless. If you are on your iPad, the picture moves, so you are unable to trace it. The reason you downloaded the app in the first place. 
Would not recommend you download the app. 
Other apps are better.

**Developer response:** You're right, that moving image issue, especially on iPad, was a real problem that made tracing impossible. Good news is, that bug is fully fixed in the current version. Grab the update and the locked image should stay put where you want it.

### 1/5 — Not a good app

*2026-04-03*

First whenever I try to draw I can't even see it even with max brightness and the screen keeps moving this is not good one I prefer a different app

**Developer response:** On the brightness, screens are hardware-limited and thicker paper can be tough to see through; thinner tracing paper or dimming your room helps a lot. And that moving screen bug? That one's sorted in the current version. Grab the update and it should stay put while you draw.

### 5/5 — Why I love it

*2026-02-25, version 1.0.27*

It’s soo nice now I can draw very nice even google said this app is good

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-01-29, version 1.0.26*

Love itttttttttttt
