## Most critical reviews (5 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — It’s very limited

*2025-02-03, version 1.10*

I got this app to work on an art project, and found out really quickly that the amount of pictures that you could upload were very few, and were not enough for me to do some basic reference work.

Of course you could buy the upgraded version, but it feels like a waste of money, especially if you’re just using it to compile pictures.

### 1/5 — Does not work correctly with current iOS

*2024-06-06, version 1.10*

Paste doesn’t work. Import from gallery goes through an extra privacy dialog. I suspect the app has not been updated to trigger/request privacy permissions, and is thus blocked from the clipboard and direct access to the gallery.

### 4/5 — Highly recommended for artist

*2025-10-05, version 1.10*

Although the app’s icon can put people off due to it being ai generated, the app itself is very good. Though I do wish that when I move the node (as I like to categorise them to make things easier to group in) doesn’t overlap with other node and thus causing them to go into one of the box and have to organise them again. Hopefully the creator fix this by us being able to stabilise it so it doesn’t clip with other node.

### 5/5 — Great free alternative

*2024-10-19*

Hated scrolling through reference images saved on my phone and just wanted it all in one place to look at while I draw. Great to have them all organized by board too so I can come back when I need to. Not sure why other ratings are low. There are limitations and paywalls, but for average use, this app is perfect.

### 5/5 — ‼️🗣️🗣️ we drawing daily with this one

*2024-05-24, version 1.10*

one complaint is the ai thumbnail, it’s not that hard just to commission an artist to draw a logo for you. 
it makes your app look more professional too. js would draw u a logo if u pinky swore to never use ai !!
but anyway ‼️‼️‼️‼️ this app is really good, reminds me exactly of pure ref and that was what I was wanting!
you can shrink and grow your images, and links to them and ofc you must save b4 u leave the canvas.
just started using the app so no issues so far, but if I turn up dead in a few days lmk gang <3
