## What is Metaspace?

A powerful sketchbook made with technology of the 21st century.

Metaspace gives you the ability to draw in three dimensions, on an infinitely expanding canvas. There are no limits to your creativity.
Complete support for the Apple Pencil, however drawing with fingers is just as rewarding!
Draw with photorealistic pressure/tilt sensitive pencils, pens and markers.

Use it to:
- Quickly draw out some ideas for a 3D concept
- Take complex mind-mapping notes
- Explore your creative side and develop your ability to draw in 3D
- Draw on top of 3D scans and other imported 3D files (.usdz only)
- Create animated walkthroughs through drawings and models

Metaspace uses touch camera controls, meaning that you use familiar multi-touch gestures to move around in the space, whilst using very little battery power. You may also turn on AR mode for something more exciting, where Metaspace will detect the world around you with the back camera, and you will find yourself walking inside of your drawing.

Also:
- Full Apple Pencil support on iPad
- Now available on Apple Silicon Mac
- Complete landscape/horizontal orientation support, including split screen (on iPad and Mac)

Stay creative.

### 5/5 — beyond impressed by the latest update 🎖️🎖️🎖️

*2026-07-28*

firstly may I say: thank you, developer. I felt like I was gifted an entirely new app, and was truly in awe by the new dimension you brought to the user experience. masterfully executed; i fell in love with Metaspace for a second time over.

to anyone reading this who has yet to experience the app's latest plethora of capabilities: do yourself the favor. for 3DCG enthusiasts, it's a necessity for those seeking to fill any gaps covering 2D sketching in a 3D environment... look no further than Metaspace. 

i hope nothing more than to see this app gain the recognition it deserves. i've scoured the App Store countless times over and have never found another which fills the niche quite as justifiably as this one does. 🌐✨

**Developer response:** Thank you, thank you, a thousand times over!

### 1/5 — Genuinely trash

*2026-07-07*

The lines don’t line up when you draw them- I tried to draw a simple box and the line I drew always ended up somewhere else.

**Developer response:** Hey there! I’m sorry that you’re facing difficulties. I have created a tutorial video on how to draw a box - it’s available in the “Learn about Metaspace” section. All the best!

### 3/5 — T

*2026-06-25, version 17.0*

Adding tutorial will make it a lot better

### 1/5 — Can’t work properly with the perspectives

*2026-06-21*

Hey, how do you put the line exactly at the corner of the other square or rectangle you sketched to build a cube? Does not work by me.

**Developer response:** Hey! There is an updated tutorial video on how to draw a cube, available in the app’s “Learn about Metaspace” section. Have fun!

### 4/5 — My reason

*2026-06-20*

It’s been a long time since I first tried this but all I wanted was to pin point the non existent tutorials to this application since I didn’t have any access to finding the feather app and at first I thought it just had a different name but when I tried to look at the apps side by side from a video between the two….. I tried to find a video for this to learn how to navigate it but then I gave up since it was very difficult to use without instructions besides what the app itself had to offer….. that’s all! I am hoping there will be some who discover this so that one day it could get tutorials it desperately needs!

**Developer response:** Hey! With the release of 17.0 and the new, modern, voxel-based drawing engine, i have now started creating a big set of tutorials and getting-started walkthroughs. 

There is an updated tutorial video on how to draw a cube, available in the app’s “Learn about Metaspace” section.

Thank you for sticking with Metaspace for so long, and I can’t wait for you to try out the new editor!

### 4/5 — It’s good so far

*2026-06-11*

I really like the app, it’s been very good to use , but it would be helpful if the app had a like selection tool, a bucket tool and like a ruler system because simple lines and shapes are hard to do 

Also for some weird reason after I left my last project, it didn’t save and it was left as blank, also the rotation isn’t working well

**Developer response:** thanks for the review! a lot of what you’ve mentioned is coming within the next week or two, so stay tuned!

### 3/5 — Pro features

*2026-05-02*

Other than editing more drawings, unable to find any other pro features after Life Time purchase

### 3/5 — Its aight, i guess.

*2026-03-30, version 16.3*

Its a great app, really. I love how accesible it is. Its just very hard to control and its confusing sometimes! Like at times i will move my screen a bit, and i suddenly wont be able to get back onto the line i was before. Other than that, i'd say its an OK app!

### 4/5 — Please fix the coloring !

*2026-03-18, version 16.3*

Love it, easy to learn and understand, got the grasp of it in like five minutes, better than most regular sketch apps. HOWEVER, please give the color mechanism some medication for its seizures! I did layering with like 0.9 cm between them to have some coloring done because if all done in one layer, the colors undergo epilepsy and end up like a six year old trying to do makeup (white-outlined streak marks, weird coloring, seemingly forgot what layers are). And please let us have access to the color wheel, because no matter how egostical I am, I’ll admit that I won’t be able to find the shade of color I want if it isnt on a wheel! Thanks!

### 4/5 — It’s good so far

*2026-03-03*

The app works fine for the most part I do like it’s 3 d feature the only suggestions I would give is for the shapes that have selection handles so we can connect shapes to each other and a small tutorial o how to use the app and to show its features

**Developer response:** thanks for the review! a lot of what you’ve mentioned is coming within the next week or two, so stay tuned!
