And try to trace it, but nothing happen.only can zoom in or out **Developer response:** Sorry to hear it didn’t work for you. However, what do you mean by nothing happens? Please consider removing the 1 star if you didn’t understand/read what’s the app for in first place. Thank you so much, Pablo. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2021-02-24* Does not work...very hard to use. **Developer response:** Sad to hear that. Can you please elaborate on what specifically doesn’t work for you? This is the first time we receive such a review. Thanks. ### 3/5 — I can’t move the picture in corner way? *2019-10-22, version 1.2* I can’t move the picture in corner way? ### 4/5 — Thank simplicity! The wait is over *2017-11-22, version 1.1* Super happy I found this app. I'm usually scared to try out apps that have little to no reviews, but I was searching all over for light box apps. I really was just going to try and figure out how to lock the dang screen myself! Super simple. You have the choice of using a photo from your gallery or taking a photo. When you first load the app it gives you a detailed run through its icons and functions. When you choose your photo you can move it around and scale it smaller or larger. After you have the image you wish to sketch you just click the green check to lock it and start tracing! Additionally, you have the ability to play with your selected image by utilizing the sliders for lighting, color scale, and contrast. It's all single sliders so nothing too confusing. Only fault I have found is something similar in other lightbox apps. If you chose a picture you've taken yourself, it works fine... up until you use the sliders. Once you use the sliders, the image flips. So that's a bummer. Hope it gets fixed soon! I would've rated 4.5 stars if I could, but I had to go with 4 since I couldn't utilize all its functions. I also have an iPad Mini. ### 5/5 — Simple and Single Payment *2025-10-25, version 1.4.0* Works great! Cute and simple UI, and exactly what I wanted. All I needed was something minimal that could turn my images traceable with an iPad, and every other app I downloaded that looked free (other than this one) needed a subscription once you downloaded (which would end up about this cost monthly), or had ads that got in the way. So much easier to just have a small one-time fee for something that works easily and well. Kudos to the devs! ### 5/5 — Free and works *2023-09-24* Downloaded loads of others only to be disappointed and pestered to upgrade and this one is completely free and does exactly what you need to trace a picture to paper. Thank you developers! **Developer response:** Thank you for the review! ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-09-17, version 1.3.0* Love this app. Use it in my quilt making. How do I remove saved images from the saved boards? ### 5/5 — Useful tool for artists! *2020-06-17, version 1.2* I love this app very much and it has been so helpful in transferring digital images onto canvas for painting. One thing I think would make this app even better is if you could add a ruler or measuring feature that tells you the physical dimensions of an image when it is enlarged within the app. It would take the guesswork out of scaling an image to fit a specific sized canvas. ### 5/5 — Love this Tracing app! *2019-10-28, version 1.2* I use this app all the time to trace images for pumpkin carving patterns, or small images that I need to transfer onto rocks for rock painting. ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Exactly What I’ve Been Looking For!! *2018-05-25, version 1.1* I went looking for something like this months ago and was shocked I couldn’t find anything. This is exactly what I’ve been after for a simple light board app! ### 5/5 — One of the best apps I've used! *2016-04-20, version 1.0* I love this app so much it works perfectly! I have a ipad Mini and it's still amazing! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
