Needs update on iOS

Works well, just wish that it would disable iOS swipe and pinch commands on iPad. If this was done better tracing experience would occur, and I would rate 5 stars.

Just what I needed

As a father, I’m so glad to have found this. Putting a piece of paper on top of an image on the iPad is so much easier than taping it up on a window. The kids love using this!

Terrible, just terrible

What a waste of time and money.

Very good

Nice and simple. Does exactly what it's meant to. I use it for tracing references for tattoo designs. I would recommend putting the lock button up the top corner somewhere as it can still be unlocked by leaning on it. Other than that spot on.
