Inkpad - Graphic Design for Negative User Reviews
✓ Nice app but room for improvementNice app but there’s room for improvements, one of the first ones for me would be to add kerning and leading to the type tool. Good start, looking forward to more enhancements..Version: 1.12.0
✓ Used to be one time purchase long time userOwned this and used from the beginning. Had made the one time purchase years ago. Haven’t had a chance to use it in a while since switching to mostly Blender pipeline but thought could become part of the process again. Excellent app for vector based drawing on iPad but now that you’re forced to go to the crappy monthly subscription model, it’s no longer worth it IMHO. All access to previous drawings is now loss unless one signs up for at least a “free” trial month. Sure, occasional cost for newer version upgrades is acceptable but not a forced monthly subscription. I understand the reasoning behind it but I don’t care for the required subscription model..Version: 3.3.9
✓ So much for open sourceSteve Sprang published the source for Inkpad under a license which stated "If you choose to clone and submit this application to the App Store, you are required to make this source code (and any changes that you've made to it) publicly available". I don't think that's ever happened for this version, and now it's subscription only too, which is even worse..Version: 3.3.8
✓ FrustratedEverything seems to work except my drawing and the result do not align, in other words, the point where my pencil or finger touches the iPad is some distance away from the resulting sketch or diagram. This is very frustrating as I bought it to use on my iPad Pro for a simple project. And I can’t find the help menu!.Version: 2.4.6
✓ Unable to get into the actual appSo, I’m not sure if this is because it’s only premium, but I can't even get past the ad for premium. It has no x icon, and I can only click on the purchase button to buy it, which I can’t afford. I would love to actually use the app and rate it right, but sadly I can’t....Version: 3.1.7
✓ App will not loadI have paid for a subscription and am not able to use it..Version: 3.3.8
✓ TOTALLY MISLEADING.The app is listed as free and has no mention of In-App purchases. Seeing this I thought it will be either very basic, but most likely a “lite” version with the option to get the full version or upgrade. However, there is NO WAY TO USE THIS PROGRAM IN ANY FORM WITHOUT SIGNING UP. I don’t have a problem with signing up for programs or subscriptions, but this is not indicated and is misleading on the App Store..Version: 3.1.7
✓ Good, but not accurate enoughI’ve just started using this app. My first impression is that it works on a basic level, but finding a few things missing to make it useful for more accurate designs. While I can alter the points by changing the Bezier handles, I can’t actually get them to create a proper point (please correct me if I’m wrong). There is a lack of a transform option, save the “Transform again” option. And while you can rotate, there is no way to see the amount of degrees you’re rotating the object or item. I also wish it had a dark UI option..Version: 1.10.6
✓ Not as advertisedShame it doesn’t let you know it’s a pay only program before you download. Naughty!.Version: 3.3.5
✓ Last release Broken?Last release appears broken. It stopped working after I updated. If I open a document the busy indicator in the center of the screen continues to churn. I can’t do anything. Just in case, I unloaded, and reload it. It’s the same, unusable. iPad Pro 2 512 iOS 12.X.Version: 2.3.8
✓ Glitches whey trying to draw a straight line?I’ve been using this app since 2018 and have never had an issue. The second it became a paid app I’ve had issues. The pen glitches every couple marks which is really affecting my drawings..Version: 3.3.9
✓ NOT FreeDue to the fact that Inkpad’s download looks like a free to try app (the download button says “get” rather than showing a price and reviews on the app description page say it is free with in-app purchases) I mistakenly thought the app could be tried out without subscription. I was wrong. Immediately upon opening the app it demands a subscription signup for $6.99 a year, first month free. A bit disappointing to say the least, as Procreate is if I remember around $8.00 and you own it. I can’t afford any subscriptions at the moment, and was looking forward to checking this app out and making purchases later when I could afford the more advanced features. I refuse to sign up for what I call a “sneak-fee” because things like this always re-bill catching you unaware. Who can keep track of all those little subscriptions?? Looks like I won’t be using Inkpad after all..Version: 3.1.7
✓ I must be stupid...I must be stupid. Can’t get anywhere with this. Very frustrating.Version: 1.10.6
✓ Good to have a free month, because...It’s really disappointing for a paid vector application to not offering a brush editor to change the ends of the line. It exist more then just square and round, I mean, chisels and progressive ends are very useful in design..Version: 3.1.9
✓ Not even worth $4I’m really disappointed that I spent money on this app; it’s not even a little bit intuitive, nor does it have any sort of guide or tutorial or help within the app. The only thing I like about it is that I can import fonts and save text as png files to be used in better drawing apps like Procreate. There’s not even a guide for what each tool is, what they do, let alone how to use them-unless you look it up online. This app is inconvenient for anyone who isn’t already knowledgeable of its specific mechanics, or anyone trying to get into graphic design..Version: 2.3.4
✓ Very good. One problem...I really like how this app works, I’ve been using it for years for those random sparks of inspiration. Only problem I have is when I create a line, I can’t create a tapered end/shape, only rounded, cut-off, or square. Maybe there’s a technique that I’m missing, but I would love to be able to create a line that thickens towards the centre, and tapers towards the ends. Other than that, love the system, learn something new every time I bring it up. Maybe there’s a shortcut that I’m missing? If so, please lemme know..Version: 2.5.1
✓ I’ve been using this app as long as it’s existedI’ve paid for this app and have been using it for as long as it’s existed. But I go to get some art off the app today and I’m now locked out of all my work, and have to pay to get to it. Not only that but monthly..Version: 3.3.8
✓ Great but missing some 'pointless' omissionsThis is a very clean app, easy to learn and works well with the Pencil, but... like all such apps, there is no facility to perform 'accurate' drawing! PLEASE, think of including this in future revisions. Not everyone wants to just 'sketch'. The reason for the title is this - you start by specifying a size of paper, you allow users to snap to grid points on the page, you can pick and reposition & resize points/lines/shapes so you absolutely know where the points sit on the page, so why not give the user an option to control these points at the database level, or type in the points on creation? This the the same in all 'freehand' graphic apps (unless someone knows otherwise?), why not make yourself stand out some more? Thanks for the good work, but I'll keep looking for my ideal app..Version: 1.10.6
✓ Strong subscription nudgeI could not even start the app without signing up for a subscription. Yes, the first month is free, and presumably I could cancel before that and fall back to the free feature set. I can understand why the dev would take this approach, but I elected to uninstall rather than subscribe..Version: 3.3.5
✓ Paid once Now I have to subscribe?I bought this years ago for at least $10 - now I have to pay yearly to access it?.Version: 3.3.8
✓ What happened to this appI use to be able to adjust document sizes and suddenly everything is greed out . Incredibly disappointed because this was my go to application on my iPad. Guess I’ll have to find something else that allows me to use custom sizes..Version: 3.1.9
✓ ImagesThe write up said I could pull them from my camera roll. However I didn’t see that as an option. Very disappointing since I had to pay to find that out..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Nothing worksNothing happens when i open an image in the gallery. When i try to create a new image the app just quits. When i click other options nothing happens. Hmmm? -- Inkpad 1.7.1 iPad5,3 (9.2) A+ Y.Version: 1.7.1
✓ I’d give it 0 stars if possibleFrustrating to use and little to no help available for tools on the app. Can’t make transparent text which is the only reason I bought the app and I can’t get a refund for it so thanks a lot..Version: 2.3.7
✓ Lags lags lagsIt lags. For example, I need to reduce the opacity of an image so I could trace over. By reducing the opacity, it take 3 seconds for the image to be either lighter or darker. Tools does not “manipulate” well. Also, When you resize your image, it disappear then reappear when you release. Like, why? Lol I played around for 15 mins and the app had failed me. Didn’t want to go any further with this app. :( pls don’t tell me to refer to your tutorial. It need more improvement even on the minor tools. Of course, this app is the generic of Adobe Illustrator. Regardless if it is generic, which I don’t mind, it shouldn’t lags. Pls fix. Thank you..Version: 2.3.8
✓ Added a paywall - better FREE options available.Everything used to be single purchase, now it’s behind a paywall. Why did I bother to buy this app in the first place? There’s other applications, with even more functionality, with no subscriptions now. Don’t need to use this one anymore..Version: 3.3.5
