Amazing tool, bit buggy

Been looking for a tool like this for years now. Really love the clean interface and how it works. Just perfect. Few things to improve I would say—1. Three finger pan or with spacebar pressed (similar to design apps); not easy to use with a trackpad right now. 2. The pick/grab tool/function is a hit or miss at times. 3. Change dimension and font size within sticky notes. Again, if you can make the interaction similar to other design softwares this will be a top app for designers. If you can fix these, it is a 5 star for me and I’d get the pro version and ask others to do so. Great stuff.

Suggestion

Update: 8/25

Thank you for addressing the pro issue I stated below. I appreciate your response time and for listening to your users.


Update:

I take back my compliment that I gave about staying true to the one time purchase. Just updated my app and imagine my frustration that there’s an option to pay $19.99 to upgrade to the pro version. If you want more than 3 boards, you’ll have to upgrade. Even though you purchase the app in order to be able to download. Irritation is an understatement.

——-
Loving the app so far! I love the clean and simple interface. But I would love to have the options to remove backgrounds and crop images in app. Also, having folders and/or categories to visually separate the boards would be wonderful. And thank you for staying true to the one time payment!

Response from developer

I’m sorry—if you purchased Reference before it became free, Pro should have unlocked automatically. You should not need to purchase it again. As a temporary workaround, please open Settings and choose Restore Purchases while signed into the Apple Account used for the original purchase. We’re also correcting the automatic recognition in the next update.

It’s great

The update was rocky, I had to uninstall and reinstall the app to get my pro to come over from legacy, it works now. The update is very nice and it works much better than before with drag and drop. It gets closer and closer to my needs every update

Finally useful

This has become a staple of my workflow, genuinely enjoying it and excited to see the trajectory of the app ❤️❤️❤️ wish it had a windows version!

Response from developer

Sorry to hear you ran into this. Drag and drop is supported, but a bug prevented it from working correctly in some cases. A fix is ready and will be included in the next update. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Unintuitive

For a paid app I expect usability to be near perfect. You can’t just drag and drop a photo in? That’s crazy to me. Every other reference board supports drag and drop
