めっちゃおすすめ！

アプリ内だけで明るさを調節できるのと、固定したり、設定モードにしたりするのが一タップでできるのが良い！
おすすめです！

Needs work but does what is intended

The instructions on this are pretty well non existent. That being said. With a little bit of playing around you can quickly figure out how to get it working. A little better design to help see how to use the app and this would be perfect to me. But even at that it WORKS!

FAQ

What does TracingMat do?

TracingMat turns your iPad or iPhone into a digital light table. You can display an image on your screen, place paper over it, and trace the visible image. It's also useful for illuminating manuscripts placed on the screen.

How do I use TracingMat to trace an image?

First, add an image to the app using the '+' or camera button. Once the image is displayed, you can move, zoom, flip, and rotate it. Adjust the screen brightness with the slider. Then, exit setting mode, place your paper on top of the screen, and trace the illuminated image.

Is TracingMat free to use?

The application is free to use, but it is ad-supported. This means advertisements will be displayed within the app while you are using it.

What devices is TracingMat compatible with?

The app is designed for use on iPads and iPhones. It leverages the touch screen capabilities of these devices to function as a light table.

What are the best conditions for using TracingMat?

It is recommended to use the application in a slightly darkened room to make the image under the paper easier to see. Also, consider using a protective film on your device's display to prevent scratches during the tracing process.
