## Most critical reviews (7 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Good idea , horrible implementation

*2026-05-12*

My review is only based on the desktop app. And my god is it slow. It barely words. New boards rename all boards to just “board 1 & 2”. It struggles to add even 200 images, mouse navigation does not work when trying to drag the canvas around, it only works with a trackpad. When trying to add more images than 5 it does not add them. It’s barely a working app not worth even trying. I have not tried this app on the phone yet but I’m gonna pass on that.

**Developer response:** That is sad to hear. Would you mind sharing what system you are on? This is not the experience I want you to have and it’s the first time I get this feedback. It might be a system related issue and I’m eager to get this resolved.

### 2/5 — Unintuitive

*2026-07-27*

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

**Developer response:** 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.

### 4/5 — Finally useful

*2026-08-14*

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!

**Developer response:** 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.

### 4/5 — Suggestion

*2026-07-25*

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!

**Developer response:** We have a new version out! I hope you like it! Feedback is always welcome

### 4/5 — Buggy

*2026-07-09*

Kinda buggy when drawing and or zooming in. Have to close app to fix bug

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, and sorry you ran into this. We’ve released a new version that should fix this issue. Thanks for taking the time to report it!

### 5/5 — Has great potential

*2026-06-13*

I was looking for an app that can organise the references using tags and descriptions as well as visualise them, and this app does the work well! It’s similar to pureref, but with advanced organising features that can be found in Allusion.

### 5/5 — Feels nice like PureRef

*2026-06-10*

I like the ui, its intuitive and simple and making it as a widget is a lot of fun, opening my phone to the ideas I have on board. I do wish and hope theres a Locking button for images to stay in place because they often move around unintentionally when navigating around the canvas with my fingers.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words and that’s a really good suggestion.
