### 2/5 — Doesn’t work well.

*2020-10-30*

I lock it and it still closes or activates touch which means it won’t work like a traditional light table.

### 4/5 — Nice App ...

*2020-01-14*

Great for sorting negative film and slides. Would be even better, if there would be an option to increase brightness to a specified level while using it, returning to the original level when closing the app.

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2019-11-13*

Just get a light table this won’t help you at all

### 5/5 — Fantastic for reviewing negatives

*2018-12-26*

I’m archiving all our old 35mm film. This app is exactly what I was looking for on my iPad to be able to review the negatives, order them, and relate prints back to them. The lock feature works perfect for turning an iPad into a photographic light table. Sometimes simple and elegant is exactly what you want for a task. Good job!

### 5/5 — Works Fine

*2018-03-23*

Simple and straight forward. Last update must have fixed things, because works fine now. Using it to check out old family slides before digitizing them.

### 1/5 — Total waste

*2017-10-26*

Didn't do anything I needed to and the lock button didn't prevent the app from shutting out so it was very annoying. Would not recommend, sorry.

### 5/5 — Worth the $

*2016-04-08*

Great and simple app for artists looking for a light table. It features a screen lock option so you don't have to worry about touching the screen. Using this on the iPad pro.

### 1/5 — Mr

*2016-02-09*

When locked, and I'm drawing with the paper on top of my screen it continuously scrolls through my apps.. I was looking for a light pad. Wouldn't recommend this for drawing.. Also, not overly bright

### 1/5 — Not usable for sketching

*2014-03-31*

If this app were to do what it promises, it would not change brightness as you are drawing, go into sketch-mode, or bring up the color palette.
All this could be remedied with a simple lock option...which doesn't exist.
Dont waste 99 cents!

### 2/5 — Not ready for prime time

*2014-01-24*

The app could be good but the slightest touch of the screen changes the brightness or switches it to draw mode, rendering it totally unusable for anything other than being a flashlight.
