Decent, but Video saving won't work.

This app worked quite well for tracing, once I caved and paid for Pro to remove the annoying quick sketch feature that was on by default.
HOWEVER, 'Automatically Record Video' does not save any recordings. Enabling 'Automatically Save Photos & Videos to Camera Roll' doesn't help. The Videos folder is empty, and tapping it causes the app to crash every time.
Because of this, the app gets three stars from me.

Frustrating… image keeps jumping

The idea is genius… but the image completely shifts on me mid tracing. It took me so long to get it perfect and halfway through tracing the image jumped up. I didn’t even touch the screen! I erased my progress thinking it was a glitch and started over. Did the exact same thing!!!! So frustrating! I even paid the $5 for the app.

Waste of an app

I would absolutely NOT recommend anyone to use this app if you are doing any project larger than a post it note drawing. I was going to use this for a banner and it limits you to approximately 3 minutes of “free sketch time”. Whoever decided to make unlimited time a premium feature genuinely has the type of greed spoken about in the Bible. 0/10 would not recommend.

Handled option is a total waste of time.

I tried using the handheld option, but the image didn’t work properly. Even after finally locking it in, the image that “wasn’t going to move” moved in less than 10 seconds. Not everyone has a tripod, you know…

Annoyed

I keep locking the image to trace and IT KEEPS MOVING WHEN I GO TO THE NEXT LETTER.

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).
