### 5/5 — Indian maiden

*2024-11-27*

Great app!!!  Love it!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! Very happy you’re enjoying our app 🙏

### 1/5 — Grid uneven

*2023-06-04*

The grid is only even if divided into 4 - am I missing something here?
And ? Option invisible so I’ve no idea how to alter.
Currently a waste of money

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, and sorry you’re having problems. The app offers a choice of square or proportional grid (can be chosen from a button in the bottom right). How they fit the image depends on its aspect ratio. Button labels can be seen by holding the ‘?’ at the bottom. Please email for more help and we’ll be happy to assist.

### 1/5 — Interface is not intuitive

*2020-05-22*

Cropping tool is too zoomed in, won’t work for my picture. Definitely not worth paying for, will be getting my money back for this terrible app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. The cropping tool should work with all pictures. If you would like us to try and help you, please send an email to the support address in the app or via the contact form on the web site.

### 5/5 — Good for children

*2020-05-01*

My children use it well! It helps me to keep them busy 👍🏻

**Developer response:** Many thanks for your review. So happy to hear that children are having fun with Sketch Grid! 😍

### 2/5 — Does not do what the developer shows

*2019-09-28*

I just purchased this and found that I cannot contact developer. Link is broken. Plus it shows multiple line grid and I can only get a two or three line grid. What the heck?  Please explain or refund my purchase. !!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback - we’ve now included a guide, which contains help with the app, and a contact email address. Press the ? button in the toolbar to see it.

### 1/5 — Very disappointing

*2019-08-13*

The grid is heavy and can’t be lightened. The picture with grid cannot be saved or exported. 
Until the functionality of this app is updated I’ll be looking elsewhere.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your feedback. You can now change the weight and the colour of the grid, and also export the image in the original resolution with the grid of your choice. We’ve also included a guide for the user - hold down the ? button in the toolbar to see it.

### 4/5 — New version much better

*2018-02-21*

Nice simple interface, easy to pan and crop picture.  It could be improved by allowing the grid to be positioned as an overlay rather than being fixed in place, but it’s not bad after the recent updates.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for your review! Also thanks for the cool idea - a non-fixed grid sounds very useful - definitely considering this...

### 5/5 — Works wonders.

*2018-01-25*

I’m a professional watercolor artist and use the grid as an easy guide for drawing my underpaintings.  Love that it gives the user an aspect ratio so the grid is easily replicated on paper.  Can be glitchy sometimes, but nothing an app reset hasn’t ever fixed. This app is a must for my workflow.

**Developer response:** Very happy to hear this! Many thanks for your review :)

### 3/5 — Brian

*2016-08-25*

Downloaded this app to IPad.  Can access photo library but camera does not function.  Cannot control orientation of photo from library.  Not impressed or perhaps it is me?
