My review is dead somehow. Here we go again I guess.
I originally asked if this was available on Mac/PC, but then I opened the app, read some reviews, and…yikes.
A paywall that doesn’t even tell you how to pay? 62GB of storage space for a day’s work? Sucking up to the subscription trend? Bruh, do y’all WANT this bird to die before it gets to fly?
At least this doesn’t track people or lock them out when there’s no internet connection like Feather does (which had the smarts to at least LOOK like a one-time purchase thing).
My suggestion to you:
- Ditch the subscription service and account system. It’s not ethical or sustainable, and I’m embarrassed to think about this peak innovation rotting behind it.
- Optimize the drawing storage. Records show it’s not efficient, like, at all (again: 62 GIGABYTES FOR A DAY! [my iPad can barely fit 2G with all the other stuff I do on here]).
- Accessibility options for folks that don’t have Apple Pencil. Maybe have an alternate mode with a separate UI for camera movement controls and the fingers just draw? Idk just make something that can work for non-Apple pen users.
- Clear and unobscure instructions for how to do stuff and implement basic functions that haven’t put in already. The most common complaintsI seem to be getting from the reviews is about unintuitive and missing functionality that is second nature to 2D programs.
This innovation is amazing and it sucks to see it shafted by such simple lapses of judgement on the developers’ part, but as long as you developers are willing to listen to, understand, and act on user feedback such as my own, it’s not hopeless.
We can fix this, together.

Different kind of tool
I am not much of an artist overall but this app adds some new dynamics to what I can create. I have been enjoying using the visibility in the bookmarks which was the last tutorial video. It allows me to “animate” simple changes within a scene by duplicating an element and then moving it or altering it. I have only used the app limitedly. I also bought it years ago I think when they did a lifetime purchase, so I am not sure what is available in the free or trial version now. Worth trying out. I have also used Feather App some and this one for me is easier at the moment because style of canvas creation and duplication.

No email sends
You guys don't reply and your email send is too weak to send anything I'm disappointed.
Not a new dimension
Hoped I could get a new perspective but this was basically procreate with no brushes and like a millions times wIrse cuz I love procreate, I only did 5 stars to get developed]r response and so you could see this, reality, 1 star bye
Keep losing art…
Every time I work on something and get in the groove of things the app crashes and closes itself.. I reopen it only to see everything I’ve done is gone even if I’ve saved it multiple times throughout the process… will be deleting. Very disappointed, many wasted hours. Would rate 0 stars but not how it works unfortunately.

Would Have Been Great As Premium
I would have sung this app’s praises if only it was sold as premium. Meaning, a fair and reasonable one-time price. I refuse, though, to rent my applications. Especially ones that do not even slightly warrant this overused and ridiculous monetization scheme. If the way this app is sold were to ever change in the future. Then I would be happy to pay upwards of $20 for it and revise my review and rating accordingly.
Luckily, a similar program called Feather just released and its sold ethically, for one fair price. Again, I’d be happy to reward the developer for their hard work and time put into this really nice art application. But, I just see no need though to pay for eternity for an artwork application. Commercial applications were never meant to be monetized through subscription plans and it’s a shame this trend is so rampant today.

Need to give email address to use
In order to use this you must either create an account, or give them your email. Last time I did that just to try out an app I received tons of spam. No thanks. Uninstalled.
Sign up to use, uninstalled
Nope, put a price tag on it don’t ask for email.
Yes
Love it! The paint bucket wont work though
Maybe
The concept for this app is good, but I doubt the longevity of this product. First, it is overpriced for the bulk of the creative users. It’s clear the devs have put a lot of work into it, but I honestly don’t see how it will pay if it isn’t accessible to the basic consumer. A more modest pricing scheme might actually make you more money. Second, I suspect that this hasn’t been updated in a year because the devs weren’t seeing enough of a return on their effort. I’ve seen this happen when app creators are out of touch with their actual potential user base. So, dev’s, if this app fails and disappears, it will be because of your own unwillingness to appeal to the actual market rather than the market you tried to hit.
A lot of good apps have died for this very reason, and it’s so unnecessary, because the block to its success is greed. You’re trying to make your money back too fast.

Review
I hate that I have to sign in and it keeps kicking me out.
I don’t want to get the app.
I don’t want to get the app.
Nothing else like it
Extremely unique, well worth the install
9/10 needs some work
Pretty good, the concept is really cool and it’s fun! That said it’s not very user friendly and the art tools are kinda mid, there needs to be some kind of blending tool or something or the option of other brushes. But other than that really good! (I have the free version btw)
BROOOOOOOO
This app is so hard to use the tutorials don’t help I’m deleting this app. You can’t change the size of your brush. The paint bucket barely works. I do not recommend this app
I can’t sign up because of my age
I don’t know why my parents email because I’m nine so I can’t sign up I’m sad at least have an option for me to sign up with Google
Where are the feature updates?
I got this app over a year ago and put it down hoping for more features, better eraser control, 3d transforms, etc but nothing has changed. The last app update was 11 months ago. That’s crazy. This app has so much potential.
This is amazing
Welll it’s hard b/c I want to do zoom in art for my friend but I couldn’t figure out how but now I know and I working on a master piece 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 this is sooooo much better than all the other drawing apps b/c every time I zooom in to do zoom in art when I draw all I can see is pixels uggg but not this this is perfect

New types of expression !
Mental Canvas is the perfect thing for me. 3D apps have never worked for me, I’m not interested in building up models and textures. I draw, that’s what I do, I fill sketch books full of doodles and figures, landscapes and interiors. Then suddenly, mental canvas allowed me to do exactly that but in a 3D environment that made sense. It’s wonderful.

Wasted
The default size and position after importing the same size images are different, moving the canvas back and forth actually affects the size (not because of perspective), difficult to use, so difficult to use, If not searching for tutorials even can't find simple buttons you need… I don't know if the paid part will fix these issues, but there's not going to be anyone willing to spend money in the face of such a shoddy trial version right!?

depth tool suddenly stopped working 5 minutes after having the app
I selected the layer and tried to move it with the depth tool and it wouldn’t move, despite it having worked perfectly well just a few seconds before. please fix it because you have stolen an hour of my time and I am quite frankly disgusted.
