3/5Good but horrible…
This app is indeed very helpful, it really taught me to enhance my skills in art, (as I do currently have trouble with it and have great cartoonish style art) but the “AR” technology it uses needs to improve. Whenever I slightly shake the camera because my hands can be shaky sometimes, it says, “Tracking lost” when I’m trying my best to hold it still. It also randomly loses focus whenever I draw when my hands are blocking its projection a little. Messages keep popping up like “Medium light detected” over and over, it’s really annoying. Not to mention that most of the courses and lessons are only unlocked with a free trial. It really saddens me that so good drawing apps like these are always money hungry. So if you download this, you might have to end up paying for the subscription they force onto others. In summary, the app is not good, but not bad.

3/5Pretty good app but needs work.
I downloaded this app because I am a terrible drawer and I was looking for a way to learn. The app works surprisingly well, but has a few issues. The tracking is very finicky. If you do not hold the phone perfectly still and have near perfect the imagine will jitter all over the page. When using the cross feature, if your shadow touches one of the markers it will also make the image warp all over the page. That means you have to draw at odd angles in order to avoid this. I understand that is an issue with my lighting and not the app, but it shouldn’t happen with such a small amount of shadow. The app is still pretty neat, but is not even close to being worth nearly thirty dollars. Subscriptions don’t interest me, because I would much rather own something and pay for it in full. If the price was lowered to ten dollars for the lifetime ownership that would make up for its drawbacks, but I feel that a 28 dollar app should work flawlessly almost all the time.

3/5Great app, moneys in the way.
So I downloaded it. Even after reading all the reviews... and I should have listened to them. The dev response person/bot says that animals are free, but they are locked for pro. Even though they say it’s is, it is not. Molang doesn’t exist... nor does grinch. You only get one free lesson. This now brings the question. Why not just charge 5.99$ for the app? No. You must pay 5$ monthly. Great concept! great design! But money has gotten in the way. I still give it a 3 star even after being this disappointed, I mean it promise a few free drawings. But I ended up with only one. So again good job on the app, just money and a bit of greed has gotten in the way sadly. I do hope they respond to this to clear this up. Because they basically lied about what is free and not. Unless you are willing to pay 5$ monthly, I will not recommend this app.

3/5Creative
I love the creativity. Some feedback about it though is the practicality of such a set up. I’m sure the developers are working on it. I have a small gimbal so that I could have my hands free to draw easily, but the distance from the camera to the paper is far so there is obstruction to actually freely draw since I have to look through my iPhone has the viewfinder. Another issue I kept running into is that as soon as I place my hand within the frame to start drawing the focus of the guides are distorted because the camera needs to fully see the frame of the paper. Again the developers probably see the drawback and there are more updates to come from Apple for ARkit to for better detection. Overall I love the idea of this app and I hope that it develops even more! As of right now the simplest way is to literally just draw the outlines of an image yourself. P.s. I also love how the drawing process is step by step so that is very intuitive!

2/5It needs lots of work.
Use this app because I love drawing, but it has a whole lot of issues. Number one where am I supposed to put the Phone, I understand this app is mostly for adults but, I a 12 year old can’t draw with one hand. Number two I can’t draw with my window open, the lights have too be on for the Image to show correctly. Three is I am a kid, I don’t have enough money too pay for Subscription, and All the free stuff is just cartoons and hard detailed stuff. I find that there’s no Medium level free stuff. I understand that You tried hard on this but it’s not that good. Fourth is that it takes a few minutes for it to detect the paper, and I have pretty ok lighting. I’ve tried to draw even on my wall but it doesn’t work because I cannot Hold the paper, I hate that fact. I’ve grown up drawing always holding the paper with one hand so this bugs me a bunch. I got this app yesterday and All these problems and I’ve seen more problems than these, I would be happy if you explained how to use the app more. I haven’t drawn one thing yet because of the angles and my messy one hand drawings. I understand apps like this take quite a long time to perfect but Your app is kinda on the correct level, just going the wrong way. Anyways! thank you for reading this review!
