  1. 5/5So far better than Visref

    I’ve used Visref for years, and don’t get me wrong it’s an amazing app for artists, however in recent years it has become extremely glitchy and development for it seems to have been halted for a long time, with no noticeable updates, even bug fixes, as far as I can remember since I got it. Imgref has basically taken the gripes I had with Visref and fixed them. Even as of only having installed the app for a couple days ago, I open the appstore to see that it has an update. The dev team seems active, and dedicated to their app and seems to be actually listening to users positives and criticisms and acting accordingly. So far it has handled my large boards for illustration references without crashing or bugs, and unlike Visref, hasn’t corrupted entire boards making them unusable. The app seems stable, well designed, and has features that take it a step further that other reference apps i’ve used. So far 5/5!

  2. 5/5GREAT!!!! NEVER going back to Vizref!!

    I was tearing my hair out over Vizref (a much pricier reference program!) consistently crashing when I tried to open projects, so in a fit I bought another reference program. Best decision ever. Not only is it simple, but there are SO many different possibilities that vizref just doesn’t have. You can draw and write notes on images!? You can color pick images!? The program shows how you can snap your compilation of images in a satisfying way!?!? It’s honestly incredible. I only have two notes: 1. Its’s very annoying that you have to click your finger away when selecting and moving an image to select another image. If I select and move the first image, I should be able to select and drag the second image when I click on it. It’s very monotonous because of that. 2.My other note is that the ui isn’t very pleasing to look at. Vizref buttons had very clear and pleasing contrast in their selection buttons, so I recommend a bolder style for buttons and colors. Besides that, wonderful. 5/5

  3. 5/5very good app ! very useful and easy to understand

    i appreciate this app a lot, especially since most apps like this are paywalled and/or have an unbearable amount of ads. the ui is very good, there was no learning curve with this unlike in other programs like notion, which was another app i used for image collection. will you ever add a doodle / text feature to write down notes for the references ? if you do then this will definitely be more than perfect for artists and creatives, ive already recommended it to a good amount of my acquaintances and friends !

  4. 1/5Greed

    Purchased this app and everything has been going great. Until I opened up the app and began to get pop ups for a pro subscription. Of course you’re not forced to have it. It’s the fact that even if you purchase the app, in order to use certain features, you need to purchase an annual subscription. Disappointing. Also, the developers responses to people criticizing their implementation of a subscription service is concerning. You have to pay to download this app, that should be considered pro. There shouldn’t be tiers behind a PAID app. Are the basic features still there? Yes, but it’s the principle. You have limited options. For example, in order to organize your boards into folders, you have to pay an annual subscription fee.

  5. 4/5This App is Really amazing! I would give it 5 stars if two features were included

    I really like how smooth the app works!! The only two features I wish it did have is the ability to search through your different folders to find your Refboards easier. The other feature that would be handy is the ability to possibly copy and paste easier when using the iPad by itself. Possibly dedicated buttons for copy and pasting. Amazing app otherwise.
