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

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.

Suggestion

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

Great suggestions! I'll start working on this for the next upcoming releases. There are also some really nice iOS 27 and macOS 27 features coming soon.

Buggy

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

Response from developer

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!

Feels nice like PureRef

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.

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words and that’s a really good suggestion.

Good idea , horrible implementation

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.

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.
