Great

I really like this app, it doesn’t force ads on you while drawing, it doesn’t make you pay a monthly subscription as you can draw comfortably without it, and even if you do want to pay for more comfortability it’s only a small one time payment! I really love

Handheld.

I’m trying to do it hand held but everytime I put it facing my canvas or the angle I move around slowly I do literally everything and nothing works I can even put the photo down to trace
Jaza!!Jaza!!

This app is okay, but has a timer.

So I tried this app so I could trace random images from the internet. But this app has a timer, and it can be really frustrating. I give this app 3 stars, since this app is okay in my opinion.

Please read!

Please bring back the .5 option on the tripod part. It helps to see the drawing surface way way better, I don’t know why you guys took that feature away to begin with.

FAQ

What does the Tracing Projector app do?

This app functions as a portable drawing and composition tool. It allows users to project any image onto a surface for tracing, similar to using a sheet of tracing paper. You can choose images from the app's library, take a photo, or use your own images to trace onto paper.

What are the key features of the Tracing Projector app?

Key features include tracing any image using augmented reality, applying filters to enhance photos for easier tracing, and recording your drawing process in time-lapse or normal speed. It also offers a 'Light Table' mode for direct screen tracing and a 'Handheld Mode' with AR for steady tracing on supported devices.

Is the Tracing Projector app free to use?

The app is free to download and use with many features. However, some advanced features, such as using the flashlight to light up your drawing and using the selfie camera for drawing on your face, require a one-time purchase to unlock the full version.

What are the compatibility requirements for the Handheld Mode?

The Handheld Mode, which utilizes Augmented Reality, requires iOS 11.3 or later on iPhone 6s/6s Plus or iPad Pro and later. It works best on stable horizontal and vertical surfaces with good lighting and some visible surface detail.

How can I use this app for school projects or artistic makeup?

For school projects, you can easily trace images from books onto posters or other materials. The app is also great for artistic makeup and face painting, allowing you to trace designs directly onto your face using the selfie camera (requires full version).
