Sketchar: AR Drawing App for Negative User Reviews

EhIt’s a great idea and I get it’s a good class. I’m a 14 year old girl who is trying to draw but I have shaky hand so every two seconds tracking on the paper is lost. And I can’t even trace because when I try once to put my pencil down it gets lost. I don’t know about you but I can’t hold the end of a pencil. I think if it didn’t need to see the paper and just let you trace without any interruption problems. If I had an iPad and a stylist it would work great I’m sure. But just a little buggy on a phone.Version: 6.0.17

NFT garbage = instant uninstallCool app idea but when I saw that NFT functionality is getting added, I had to immediately uninstall. NFTs are toxic poison that are bad for the environment, bad for artists, and are only good for giving criminals ways to scam innocent people and launder money. 0/5..Version: 8.3

Artist are being robbedThis app makes me sick to my stomach. Who ever really drew the pictures on the app is being robbed. Your not really drawing, your tracing. Which means if you sell this is art you make with the app you can go to jail! As an artist, this makes we want to throw up. You should never trace art. You should find your own art style and if you want you could use references. I hate the idea of this app and could I also put in that there is literally nothing you can do for free on this app? There’s on about two free things you can do and the rest is for money..Version: 5.3.16

Adding proI am thirteen I am an art scholar and this app was really helpful to teach me how to draw to lead to me becoming amazingly good at art. But now they added this Pro thing leading to ALL my art I want to draw, I have to pay for now £7 a week or £62 a year I don’t see the point in paying so much.Version: 8.7

Needs improvementThis was a great idea but there is room for improvement. This app will most likely end up being used for kids and teens who do not have the money for subscriptions (speaking as a minor myself. It’s not just that but it’s the brushes and tools your able to you without the subscriptions there should be more medium level tools like painting brushes that you would get as a subscriber. Other wise it’s a pretty good app just open up more things that are helpful to people who can’t subscribe.Version: 8.3.4

It’s okThey have made a good app but the thing is when I first downloaded almost nothing was pro now when you look for a drawing almoast every thing is pro so you have to buy something to draw !!!!!!!!!! Please make more drawing free.Version: 8.7

Great idea. Needs to be a lot better.The concept of this app is great and it has a lot of great features. However, it is too easy to just trace and not learn to draw. My biggest issue is that if I spend time coloring and shading but can’t finish in one session, when I come back the colors are super splotchy and all of the coloring/shading has to be redone. I’ve also noticed that they AR feature requires you to be a distance from paper that is not feasible for you to see the screen of your phone and draw at the same time. Lastly, the advertisements for you to pay for a subscription are very in-your-face, too often repeated, and very obnoxious. But if you want to practice “tracing” in a learn-to-draw tutorial and can finish in one session, it is good practice. I don’t think I’ll be paying for the full version anytime soon..Version: 7.1.1

It is great but I don’t like the pro thingIt is great when everything was free but now everything needs you to pay for the pro thing.Version: 8.7

Shows potentialI love the idea, I like the steps that is provided and it could really help out people are introduced to art. I’ve done art for a while but landscapes and architecture was one of the hardest and even on one picture, I showed me a technique I could use, especially on perspective. However there is awfully a lot that is all in Pro, not many is particularly free at the moment. I understand that Pro and Ads provide the developers the money but there is only one thing that is actually free on the three chosen things I wanted to look more into. I did choose that I was ok at art so maybe for beginners, there is more free stuff for them which is great. Unless I didn’t look deep enough into this then my apologies but it does show potential..Version: 6.2.1

Nice concept but needs improvementsI wish this app had more structure, especially for the courses, they only show you how to draw a bunch of stuff not connected to each other (they are just under the same category, like portrait or people), but you don’t really learn the genral principles to draw a portrait or a human figure. Another major problem is that there is no reference image, so it just feels like you are copying the sketching lines. Which doesn't teach you much. A grid would also help. As for the non lessons/courses sketches just retracing the figure in the background is not drawing. I really hope the developers will improve this app.Version: 8.13

Great stuff but camera tracking isn’tReally great stuff but the camera is constantly losing track of the paper or just not tracking the paper at the right shape. Would be great if you could move the corners of the paper yourself and lock it in.Version: 7.0

Good but..I love this app, especially the lessons to improve my drawing skills! However I’m realising this may be a pro feature only..? I agreed to free trial for 3 days, but even after I’d cancelled soon after, the money has somehow left my bank 😭😭 so much for a ‘free trial’ 🥺 can someone pls help me with this? Thanks.Version: 8.3.3

HmmmLooks like a great app. Kept on encouraging me to go pro (which is very annoying as I couldn’t try it properly) so I finally did. Tried to go pro, can’t even get the login to work properly. Is very frustrating..Version: 7.3.6

This could be a great appBehind the app is a really great idea, but in my opinion today's technology is not good enough to enjoy the process of drawing and have a nice experience with it. Maybe a couple of years later with next generation, smaller size Hololens-style glasses..Version: 6.0.4

Impossible to cancelThe title says it all: there is no option to cancel your subscription before it renews. And no way to speak to anyone for assistance..Version: 8.20.1

Does not workI can’t do ar.Version: 5.3.16

Please refund….Please refund my subscription can’t use app due to not having a suitable phone to use…this needs to be displayed not in the fine print..cancelled subscription within 24hr but haven’t refunded money yet.Version: 8.0.5

Please change this!When I downloaded this app, I thought it would be good. I filled up what it told me too. Did everything I had to do to get started. Went to the courses and I think there was about 10 things free out of what like 100 maybe 200! Pro is way to expensive! Either change the price of pro or make less pro tuff and more free stuff. 😡😡😠😤.Version: 8.7

Not what I was hoping forI love the idea, but I found it very difficult to focus on my screen while trying to sketch on anything larger than a standard piece of paper. I specifically wanted to use this app for photos but found even if I turn the contrast up, it did not pick up the lines well. I tried a second photo to see if it worked better but had to purchase a subscription to do so. I purchased one month to continue “trying out the app”. I have since decided this app does not suit my needs but cannot find a way to cancel my subscription and have not received a response after contacting the company..Version: 5.0.5

It’s just Trash..I mean this app it’s not doing anything for me all I’m doing is tracing something like what am I meant to do like fix it also it keeps glitching and that circle thingy pops up on my screen mostly like.Version: 5.3.13

Kinda pointless nowSo here’s the deal you get like a few things to draw or use your own pictures but the brushes are all pixelated even with my iPhone 11 and god tier internet it’s a just pixels which kinda defeats the purpose because your art will look like trash and the brushes they give you are horrid for fine detail I paid for two weeks and then a month because you get really good looking pictures to draw but it’s all so pointless with it’s a ugly pixelated mess gg.Version: 8.0.10

Not practicalAsks me to show whole the paper but nothing happens and all the time scans for whole paper👎🏻.Version: 6.2.1

Needs work.The concept for this app is great. I would love to see some of the glitches ironed out. The fact that this only works with 2 paper sizes, in a very brightly lit room, is the first issue. Constantly arranging the phone, pulled very far back, to capture the page begins to wear on you. I do love how you can capture a wall or floor, to draw/paint murals. But the image sometimes shifts, which defeats the purpose. I want to love this app, and can see great use for it. The tutorials are wonderful. Especially if you’re a beginner. I foresee this app becoming better, more stable. So I’m going to stick with it..Version: 5.1.5

SubscriptionAnother stupid subscription based app. $80! No thanks..Version: 8.12.2

GlitchyGreat idea but also find it pretty glitchy when I hover my phone over my sketch book for the picture all it does it flicker none stop!.Version: 8.4.2

It 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!.Version: 6.0.5

WhyI feel like this would be an great app but it has some flaws I’m best at mirror drawing (recreating drawings ) however I want to make my own so when I tried to start off with the ar form of this app - it kept losing focus of my paper and I had to restart over 20 times if you could have it to where it just freezes until you hit next step it would be flawless app because then. I could actually draw what’s on the step without having to reposition my paper or start over.Version: 8.12

WhackNot practical.Version: 6.0.9

I can’t even use the appAfter I chose right handed the app says I have to choose 3 categories but the app is stuck on that page and I cannot press the arrow. I’ve tried restarting the app like 10 times.Version: 6.3

Having to pay has to goI see you have to pay for some drawing lessons but it’s all the good ones I can’t learn to draw if I have to pay I might as well use the money on another more useful app your prices are way too high and too many things are labeled pro I would like to use this app without having to pay for items unless it’s limited addition or something of other I will not waste my money on something that’s not even cheap and has almost all the lessons under the subscription I cannot afford this especially during school and focusing on choosing a college I would not be able to pay once I do so please reconsider the amount of lessons that aren’t free.Version: 6.0.17

Seriously??They’re selling NFTs now.Version: 8.3

DO NOT SIGN UP FOR FREE TRIAL!!!Whatever you do, DO NOT SIGN UP FOR FREE TRIAL!!! I signed up on a Wednesday for a seven day free trial, I was unable to use the app for what I had wanted, and by Saturday they had already charged my credit card $100 (with taxes)for the full year version of the app. When you call Apple, they “put it under review“ which takes 48 hours, and IF they agree to give you your money back, you then have to wait approximately 30 days to get your money back. This app was unable to do some of what it claimed, and is not worth the headache!.Version: 8.3.3

Great 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..Version: 5.3.13

I don’t know how I feel about this appIt takes half an hour for the line to appear, but I’m yet to test more things.Version: 6.0.16

The lagThis app is great. I absolutely love it. But the issue is that it lags A LOT. When I try to use the AR and draw on my paper, One: it take a few minutes to detect the paper, two: As I’m getting more into detail with my drawing it’s start lag and it messes me up, three: when it lags it moves the picture and it doesn’t line up with what I have on my paper. If you guys can fix this, I would totally appreciate that. But overall it’s a great app :).Version: 8.4.1

AdThis app is a good app and is easy to use but, there are too many ads, just before i start drawing an ad pops up on screen and when i close the ad it closes the instructions for what i wanted to draw, the app would be better if there was an ad once you had finished the drawing and not when you are half way through drawing something..Version: 5.3.16

Needs workNeed to be able to get in closer for detail..Version: 1.3

Doesn’t work properlyIt says the page isn’t in the camera even when it is. the image glitches about and moves and you have to pay before you know its going to work.Version: 8.2.6

Don’t botherPay to use.Version: 6.2.1

Keeps exiting appEvery time that i get an ad pop up, it takes a moment for the sketch to come back up on the screen, and when it does, it freezes for a moment and then exits the app so that i have to get it all back up just to continue and it takes a long time to line back up. I can only use it for a few seconds before it does this. Is this just a problem because i dont have premium?.Version: 5.3.16

It doesn’t work properlyI can’t get may paper to show up.Version: 8.3.3

Seems like a great idea but not dependableAs an artist, I’ve been experimenting with this on and off for a few weeks and it’s a great idea IF you can get some random anchor to be permanently in your drawing. Drawing on anything larger than an A4 is out of the question, as you can’t draw your image b/c you’re too far away for proportion, (fully extended arm and pencil still doesn’t reach) then you get closer to touch your paper and it’s lost anchors and looses everything you just calibrated (as it’s white paper with no anchors). I’ll stick with my projector. It has one purpose, and that is for large scale tracing for murals and that’s it. If you are actually using this to “learn to draw” you probably won’t ever improve. Drawing from scratch builds your skill and the necessarily parts of your brain and hand-trust to draw, this will just keep you in tracer category. Great for kids or using it see mistakes in your drawing..Version: 5.3.4

I like it but I also don’t!😞I would have to give this a five for the amazing tutorials but it has dropped down to a 3 because when I do an artwork then accidentally press done it saves it then I can’t get back onto it because I have to have pro and not all kids have the money for that. I also can do any competitions as well because I don’t have pro! Big problems and ruins all the fun!!! I would probably give it a 5 if it didn’t do those things and if the owner wants to make money then put features on it like choosing the challenges and stuff like that pls! To conclude u need to pls pls fix this ASAP then I will give it a 5! Thank you! Don’t disappoint me. 😞.Version: 6.1.1

UghI thought this would be amazing, but in reality it’s not. You have to pay to do something actually cool. And the camera doesn’t even work.Version: 6.0.17

Good but some bugsCan’t not get into my progress without my last drawing popping up and not letting me exit the drawing.Version: 7.0.2

Needs fixingI like using Sketchar for drawing, but I have used it less now because of one glitch. Every time I draw with AR on a free lesson/drawing, an ad for the premium pops up. Every time I click to get rid of it it takes me to the Home Screen! This makes me really annoyed to the point of almost deleting it. IT NEEDS FIXING. Please fix the glitch, Minepro9197.Version: 8.13

Why i hate itIt keeps asking if u wanna get pro then ruins the hole fing its a waist a time.Version: 7.3.6

Horrible.Anytime you try to draw it try’s to find the paper. If you put your hand on it to draw, it’s diagonal. There is also an add that pops up every 30 seconds. Do not buy..Version: 7.0.2

😡Super laggy! My wifi isn’t even slow and it takes like 10 seconds for one of the brush strokes I did to load. Totally the opposite of what I wanted..Version: 5.3.12

Dislike itIt’s a really good app don’t get me wrong but whenever I try to draw something premium comes up and stops my drawing and once I put it back on the paper it moves the photo upwards or downwards even if I kept my phone in the same place if you could fix that I think it could be a really good drawing app.Version: 7.0.2

IdkThis isnt good it keeps glitching it it wont let me draw my own photos in ar mode whats up with that....Version: 5.3.16

Hard to use, doesn't deliverI spent several hours trying to figure out how to use the app for what I wanted, with no success. There's no intro/orientation, and the how-to videos (once you find them in the "settings" section are basically useless and don't even cover all the app features). This app promises a LOT and doesn't deliver in a way you can use. Of all the annoying things, main problem with the app is that when tracing from one of your own images, the image doesn't lock into place once you've done resizing it (this may happen with in-app images too, I don't know). I don't mean that it doesn't lock to the paper, eith AR, though that'd be nice. It doesn't even lock in the phone screen - the image/overlay sort of pulses and moves around even when you're not touching the phone or paper. From googling it, apparently it's supposed to set in place if you tap the screen but that didn't work for me. Infuriating. Don't waste your money- there are several other apps I've found that do what this one promises (easy-to-use AR tracing of your own photos) for WAY less $..Version: 6.2.1

The ar doesn’t workI use to use this app heaps about a year ago when it was free but then a new update came out Andy our had to pay for it (so I did) now it just keeps glitching out, it displays the drawing once then just disappears no matter what I do it won’t come back.Version: 5.0.2

ReviewI like the idea that u can draw better w this app but when I draw in ar the picture always moves around when I try to draw and it doesn’t work. Please fix this!!.Version: 5.3.16

EhIt’s a good app. However it becomes glitchy and laggy. When you put you chosen image on the paper, you cannot move the picture off the paper to where you want it..Version: 8.5.2

BfnfnfIt’s fun and all but I spend about five minutes trying to capture the page but it still doesn’t work!!.Version: 6.1.3

Not workingThis app doesn’t work it tells me to show the whole page and I am and it still doesn’t work I was hoping to be able to use the app but unfortunately it doesn’t work at all!!!!!.Version: 6.0.9

Good idea, bad productI found this and thought it would be great to help learn more about drawing and sketching. Upon opening the app, and realized only a select few things were available for free. After finding something I liked, I attempted to draw it using the AR. The example picture would only be visible when the phone was three feet from the paper. How can you comfortably hold your device that far from the paper and still be able to draw? It was very frustrating for me to try to hold the phone and draw, so I did not get far into the drawing, but the result still wasn’t pretty. I love the idea of the app, I really do, but it needs a lot of work to be down on it before it is really useful..Version: 5.0.4

It’s a scamIt can’t detect a clear white piece of A4 paper so the ar is terrible don’t buy the pro version that’s the same as well and using it with your hand is uncomfortable so unless your desk is black and your paper is white and you have a stand for your phone this is useless IM TELLING YOU DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP ITS BAD and developers don’t try to defend your self this is bad and you know it.Version: 5.3.16

Cash GrabWanna draw a German shepherd NOPE YOU PAY FOR IT this app sucks.Version: 6.2.1

RubbishDelay in the screen to actual pencil makes this unusable.Version: 8.0.9

TerribleIf it was possible to do a -1 star I would. This app says it protects onto paper on your device screen but as soon as you put your hand on it to draw the screen picture thing goes away and glitches!!! Don’t get this app you’ll only be disappointed..Version: 8.3.2

HorribleI downloaded this app so that I could easily draw things to paint over but every time I am in the middle of drawing the app will say that the tracking is lost even though my phone hasn’t moved an inch and then I can’t get it to the right proportions again so I have to start all over again.Version: 8.5.2

Worst app everIt was really glitchy to start and the template kept flickering. Even when I got it to stop, the template would keep moving. It was really hard to use and I wouldn’t recommend it. Definitely not going to keep it. The worst part is that it drains the battery and ruins your phone. The premium costs WAY to much and doesnt even do anything. I won’t be downloading an app like this anytime soon..Version: 8.3.1

Picks up other circles in artworkAmazing idea and works well most of the time. When drawing artwork with circles in it (eyes, wheels, nostrils etc) however, it picks these up and makes further drawing impossible. Frustrating to get half way through a portrait when the app picks up the circle eyes and repositions the sample image incorrectly..Version: 2.0

UselessI found this app useless. It’s stuck in landscape mode and you have to try to hold your phone in one hand and draw with the other hand. And I would have even tried that if it was at least portrait oriented. So a complete waste of time and money for me. Highly disappointing..Version: 5.3.13

Subscribed but don’t get full useJust subscribed for a year and it works fine on my i phone on paper, great so far for drawing portraits from my photos, but I can’t get it to work on the wall or floor, nor can I use the app on my apple tablet- it gives me only the free trial version despite saying I’m subscribed in my settings. Hope they can work these bugs out..Version: 5.2

Ar camera only works sometimesI’ve enjoyed this app for the most part, but the ar camera only works sometime. I have my paper in full view of the camera and it still struggles to pick up corners and bugs out. I got the free 3 days of pro but I’m upset that I can’t get through more than one drawing without getting annoyed at the camera.Version: 8.0.10

Amazing conceptPlsssss fix bugs. Always looks for circles and then crashes :(.Version: 2.3.1

CreativeI 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!.Version: 5.4

TerribleCan’t edit or remove profile, can’t delete account, won’t let me verify my profile, paid subscription but still keeps asking me to subscribe. Stop beta testing on users!.Version: 8.2

HelpHello, I am using an IPod touch (6) The app works perfectly until I select the Draw With AR button, then the whole app freezes! I can still use the app but I cannot use the AR feature, please help me! Thank you, SketchAR user P.S: If you know how to help say it as a reply to this review please..Version: 6.0.14

Pretty 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..Version: 5.0.5

It’s the worstYou have to pay to do an artwork unless it’s a progress thing and you have to hold your iPad up the hole time >:(.Version: 7.0

I can’t use itThis isn’t the best app. I try to draw a simple cartoon figure and it keeps glitching of my paper when where is any sudden movement. How can I fix this and no I do not have a tripod and do not want to buy a tripod just to use an app that doesn’t have the best results. I don’t even think a tripod would work. Very disappointed 😔.Version: 8.3.3

Why???I think this app could be great BUT there’s one problem: why do you have to show the WHOLE piece of paper to draw something? I’ve been finding this very annoying- I can’t draw anything without having to bring my iPad far away, and then I can’t really draw. I don’t really care about the size- so could you please add an option to remove tracking?.Version: 5.3.13

It was good until…Hi I have been using this app for over 2 years now and nearly everything was free now I can nearly do anything i understand you guys are trying to make more money but please make it so there are more options for people who don’t want to pay.Version: 8.7

Can't get it to work :(Seems like such a cool idea, but it just won't work. Seems to detect the dots, but no images are being overlayed..Version: 1.1

DisappointedI was very eager to try this app and was interested by the idea, however, i was very upset when i couldn’t even get passed the tutorial because the game would crash and take very long to register what i had drawn on my screen and on the odd occasion it picked up my drawings they would be choppy, inaccurate and missing bits. In the end i lost patience with the app and didn’t even get to take part in the experience of ar drawing..Version: 5.4.1

EhI was wanting to draw and go on the app and EVERYTHING is pro is have to pay for everything now I’m sorry but I don’t have the money and drawing helps my stress and I do love tracing from this app it helps but now that can’t draw a single thing from here I’m deleting it. A lot of people can’t afford this and it’s not really fair..Version: 8.7

WhyI don’t understand why my finished work is nothing it’s just a coulple of lines WHY! This game would be awesome.Version: 5.3.8

Ads during drawing time should be taken outI have this issue every time i use this app. I draw something (mainly anime from my camera roll) and right in the middle of drawing, and ad pops up. After i click no to the ad, guess what happens. It kicks me out and i lost all progress from drawing. I try to do it again and line up the lines, which almost never works properly its always distorted somehow, and it all just happens again. I only get about 2-3 minutes IF THAT of drawing time before i have to restart the whole process. My lighting is perfect, i have a clamp to hold my phone so its positioned right every time, i have lines to hold the page as to not twist the image too much, but this constant ad wall is what’s killing me. If you are going to put ads, put them BEFORE or AFTER the artist is drawing. Its like taking a painters canvas mid piece and asking them if they wanna buy something, and when they shoo you you place the canvas on the ground and leave, making them have to pick it up, reposition it and line themselves back up with their focal point. Other than that the app is great, just slightly unusable for free users..Version: 7.3.3

HORRIBLE WITH MY IPAD IM SERIOUS!!!!!THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS NEVER BUY THIS EVER THESE PEOPLE ARE EDIOTS MIXED WITH JERKS.Version: 4.0.3

NftInstantly stopped using the app after nft support.Version: 8.3.1

What?I don’t know why people are complaining about it picking up circles.. it won’t even pick up the piece of paper to start the drawing! Cool concept but doesn’t work yet.Version: 5.0.5

Needs WorkThis is a really cool idea and I love the idea of being able to upload your own photos and trace them. For me this helped with getting command of the tablet pen because I’m used to Wacom tablets which have more traction under the pen rather than gliding straight across, which made the pen harder for me to handle. I used this to help me gain confidence in drawing circles and lines evenly with this glossy surface. For that it served its purpose alright. But the problem is that, at least as a left handed user, the way the drawing page is set up is frustrating. For instance, I was constantly bumping the back button and would exit the thing I was drawing partway through and not be able to finish it. Also, any time I drew in a horizontal line, the opacity for the tracing paper would increase or decrease when I was trying to make the line. This would constantly pop up no matter what angle I had it at. It was very hard to press in such a way it would not trigger this pop up. This should not be something that can be triggered by the pen at all, only the button on the right side. This was just really frustrating honestly. I did manage to complete a sketch and it was nice. But I just feel like the placement and triggering for things needs to be reconsidered..Version: 6.0.5

OkYou have to pay.Version: 8.0.11

I meanThis app is not bad no not at all but it seems unfair to pay 66 dollar to be able to draw more than the 3/4 of the stuff of the app like i wanted to draw people not a square or a kawaii pinguin i learned that years ago.Version: 6.1.3

Trial is a frustrating jokeThey keep interrupting you every 3 seconds to buy buy buy buy buy. And then it is impossible to delete!.Version: 7.1

Remove subscriptionThe app has a ok layout but the main issue is u have to have a subscription to draw any photos that’s on ur phone and I generally think that the subscription needs to be removed from the photo sketch option so people can actually draw what they like until that happens the app isn’t good.Version: 8.3

Good concept but it tested my patienceI started with a simple penguin. Followed the first step to capture the whole paper. When im about to draw a circle, and obviously my hand and pencil is on the paper, the AR just lost track of the circle shape. It distorts, turned small, going left and right, and there’s no way my pencil and hand follow the lines. Cmon! This is actually the whole concept of the app right? The app just ended my interest. Sorry guys but have to fix it first before going to subscriptions stuff. Too much to ask from your customers....Version: 6.0.12

DisappointedThis app is good overall, but the thing that bothers me is the pop ups to get pro, I was trying to draw my grandmas dog that passed away for her when this pop up would not let me draw one line without The Screen closing , I am fine with the pop up, it’s the fact that when I press x it closes and goes back to the main screen on the app, also, EVERYTHING costs money, another one of those pay to win games, I am sorry for the creators of this app, it could be better but it’s all about money..Version: 7.3.6

SCAM! DIFFICULT TO CANEL! DOESNT WORKThey purposely don’t let you click on the support tab on the website. When you click on the contact on the app all it does is send you to an email. There is no where to cancel on the app which is absolutely insane to me and is a scam. Luckily, you can go on your settings on your iPhone and cancel that way. It costs way too much money even if it did work. The app does not work once you start tracing it moves so you won’t be able to use it. It takes less time just drawing it yourself..Version: 8.7

I wish I could give 0Signed up for this app, even paid to upgrade. Had the free trial, but didn’t like the upgrade, as it didn’t do anything good. Tried to than cancel, but it doesn’t appear in your Apple subscriptions… In fact it doesn’t appear anywhere. Fast forward to this morning when my support emails have been ignored, and I’m charged! 🤬.Version: 8.3.6

Pretty garbageIt keeps crashing. haven’t gotten to use it..Version: 7.0

GLITCHYThis app is super glitchy and the drawing keeps moving on the at bit so I cannot move it at all and I don’t know what to do because this is not helping my drawing skills at all it is probably making them worse it doesn’t even recognise the paper properly can somebody please help me??.Version: 5.3.14

I Hate this appY’all this app is sooooo bad I was trying to draw a Zootopia picture for my little sibling and it would not stop asking me to pay to unlock the other things it can do well I did not spend my money on a crappy app and it would not let my off the screen,I had to turn my phone off to get the app off my screen but the worst part is I spent 20min trying to find a app to draw with and I found this but it would not let me use the QR scanner for like 2 seconds!!!!! :( I wish this app would work and I hope y’all read this and understand my point of why NOT TO GET THIS APP!!!!!!!!! “-“ BTW I gave this app a one star bc that’s the lowest I could go😑.Version: 7.1

Update it plzDudes come on I just updated the app and I still can't keep the image still.Version: 1.2

OkayI loved this app and it made me draw so good it was also very fun doing the courses etc, that was when most of it was free but now everything seems to be labelled as pro and I cannot find anything to draw without spending money sorry but this app is now quite bad especially when u cannot buy pro.Version: 8.9

Bad scannerIt won’t let me draw with my finger on the piece of paper.Version: 8.0.7

Not freeI downloaded the app to try it out in their “free three day trial” and they charged me the full amount instantly… there is no free trial !.Version: 8.3.3

Decent, but it’s essentially tracingI will admit it’s decent for beginners, but the whole thing is essentially just ‘draw over these blue lines we put down for you!’. That’s just tracing, and I never felt like I was learning anything. I just felt guilty for tracing over someone else’s artwork..Version: 7.0.2

Why it should be freeIn my opinion i feel like you shouldn’t be charged for EVERY piece of art. i was trying to draw with this new app i thought was very cool, and would help me improve my art. turns out i have it pay for each piece. I have just gotten the app, so im not completely sure, but, 50% or more of the art should be free for people who want to learn how to do art. also $69 for a year? that’s quite crazy. i know this review sounds rude and i’m sorry, you do have a good app. i just wish it was free..Version: 8.10

Good idea not a good executionOut of all the apps I’ve tried this is the worst, can never trace paper for longer than 2 seconds and the picture always goes away and you have to close the whole app to get it back, waste of time😊 a shadow should also not change the whole shape of my page and where the drawing is supposed to go hahaha.Version: 7.1

Great idea but need improveAR for drawing is great idea. However, SketchAR isn't easy in drawing because hand hold phone isn't static and drawing still very hard. Hope you will improve it..Version: 1.3

For all the kids [like me] out thereLook, this app has some potential. But I would not recommend this to people who don’t have enough money. The second I went into this app and all the lessons I knew there would be pro, or the lessons that you need to get premium for. I mean, like literally all the lessons you need to pay premium for. Like you could at least put like 3 or 4 lessons for free but, no. And if ur a kid like me, well, u probably don’t have enough money to pay premium. And again, I tested out the free lesson, and it was pretty good. So this game still needs a lot of work, but if u are willing to pay [im not] well, go for it because thus game still has some potential, that is, if ur willing to play..Version: 8.17

Good idea, bad productThe overall idea of this app is amazing, however it takes forever for the camera to pick up the crosses and when it does the sample image is always shaky and causes me to stuff up. A lot of touching up for the developers to make this into a good app..Version: 4.0.6

DisappointedI thought I was going to get a good free app, instead I got an app you have you pay for, all you learn how to draw is a penguin with a heart, it was very glitchy, do not recommend if your not an absolutely beginner artist.Version: 6.0.12

Black screenWhen I tried doing the camera option it just had a black screen so I deleted the app.Version: 6.1

🤦‍♀️This app is so hard to work with! When I draw with the AR it keeps moving making it impossible to use. You could have used the camera feature and then just slapped a drawing on there so that it DOESN'T MOVE. Please fix this, and when you do, I will download it again..Version: 6.1.2

StupidIf it’s not a cheap gimmick why not show off the bare minimum basics with even a brief window of functionality before the paywall jumps up. Are you THAT certain no one would buy add ons or subscribe to a fully decked out version? Or bother with a longer trial if you at least showed off the tech before the paywall jumps up? Is it really that bad? Pathetic & greedy. No one can afford this nonsense anymore and you’re talking into your stuffed shirt telling yourself people want to risk your subscription kicking in with your 3 day trial. I imagine it’s kind of neat. And personally, I might have clicked the buy button, in fact I did, but you sucked the wind out of my sails with the zero joy install and start up, pen in hand… PAYWALL. I sighed and said F it. And F what amounts to rude tactics (intended or not) playing off people’s hopes that the app works for them. Pro tip: wow me. THEN ask me to subscribe. I most likely would have..Version: 8.5.1

Worst app everThis app is ok just whenever I finish the drawing it looks inaccurate and very ugly and the drawings keep glitching which is really frustrating for me and I hate that. I don’t recommend this game for beginners because it’s really bad and it just glitches. 🫤.Version: 8.8

Pretty goodThe tutorial directions are a bit nonsensical but can be understood after a few hours.Version: 8.3.4

Way too expensive.I LOVE this app it really works well I enjoyed trying it , but 9.99$ for a week to upgrade is way too expensive. I’d pay that for a month but NEVER for a week. Great app in general but too expensive..Version: 8.0.11

Good ConceptThis app is a great app but my problem is that it glitches whether I move or not. The first thing you do is to put the crosses on the paper but it glitches every time I put my hand on the paper to draw it. When I finally finish that step, I go to drawing the picture. The paper is fully in the camera and no matter what I do, it says the paper isn’t fully in the camera and so then I have to restart. It constantly freaks out on me and it’s very frustrating..Version: 5.1.1

Doesn’t workThe whole idea is great but it A: doesn’t work with lined paper B: will often not identify the circles that I’ve drawn C: When I go to draw something it can’t identify the circles.Version: 2.0

Great but doesn't saveIts's a really good app. It has lots of brushes, drawings, and one of the AR animals isn't premium. But there is one big problem. It does not save progress. I made an account and worked for hours on end to draw some things. I had to do a software update so i offloaded it. I couldn't re-downloaded it (since my ipad is bad) so i thought "well i have an account, it will save" so i deleted it. I re-downloaded it immediately after and logged in to my account. None of my progress was saved. Even though i have an account. I had about 50 drawings, none of which was saved If you want people to like the app, you have to fix it. I wanted premium and would have gotten it, but now there is no point..Version: 7.3.1

StupidHmph.Version: 4.0.6

So much to like, so much to dislikeI have tried to use this app to draw on a chalkboard (18x24 inches) which appears best when paper is selected but I would need a giants arms to draw it because the app loses registration when you get close. Coupled with the irritating insistence you pay before you try (ok I paid) and the irritating pigeon which u can’t turn off and the obvious lack of fit and finish - this is a great idea waiting for someone else to make it useful - graffiti paint ....Version: 5.1.5

It’s such a shameI first saw this app on a advert on Tiktok and I saw potential and I really wanted to learn how to draw people. This app is good as it has lessons to teach you and I was really excited to use the app. However, as an ARMY of BTS, I was not impressed by the fact that some of the drawing previews did not look like the members and in the description, the information was wrong. BTS is not known as “Beyond The Scene”, they are known for many things except that. I don’t blame the app though as this is a common mistake. I just hope that this is corrected and that everyone can enjoy the app..Version: 8.3.4

RubbishWorth zero stars really. Would not work no matter what I tried. Pity because it's an excellent idea..Version: 2.3.1

This app is unusableEvery time I try to draw I get the SketchAR pro ad in the middle of drawing, and ultimately cannot finish. If u can’t even let me draw why would I pay for the pro version. I can’t even use the app and you’re trying to get me to pay? That’s hilarious I’d rather pay to watch paint dry than for this app. If you can fix this, maybe I can try using it and consider paying, but at this rate you lose all your customers before they can even try your app. 0/10 ,0/5, the sum of all the numbers (-infinity,0] added up / of 10. I will rewrite and rerate this after it is fixed..Version: 8.0.11

Why are there addsIt’s amazing but one thing is terrible whenever I try to draw something in the “upload image” a pReMiUm add pops up and I have to start over also why do you need the whole paper of you only want a small amount of it. Everything’s great but that can you please stop that pReMiUm add from popping up because that’s what will make me and a lot of other people stop using this app thanks..Version: 6.1.3

I want to draw da kitties😭😭😭I want to the cats and I know I can’t spend money on a game and so next update could you plz make it so u can just watch an ad to draw it or it’s completely free so could u plz consider this because I really like cats and my friend won’t give me drawing lessons because she is hanging out with her best friend and I want to be good and the only free thing is the beginner and that is so annoying and I just want to draw the cats so plz consider this update to where it’s all free.Version: 5.1.5

Not great ... can’t and won’t commit to purchaseA shame really, I tried making a rig with a pint glass but I couldn’t zoom out of the camera or make use of iPhone 12 wide angle view, which meant that I had to hold the phone rather than have it rigged up, as it wasn’t high enough. Also, I went with sketch ar because it allows you to try before making a purchase... this is completely foiled when you chose a photo, start drawing, only to have ads pop up mid stroke. When you cancel out of the advert, app takes you to Home Screen where you have to start again inputting picture and getting the position right sadly, I couldn’t trial the app enough to decide on whether or not to purchase... think I’ll bite the bullet for Davinci eye one time payment instead as my experience for this app has left a sour taste..Version: 7.0.2

BugsI was almost finishing my drawing, and your app kick me out and all of the hard work just gone. Please fix it..Version: 6.0.15

Great App but very IneffectiveIf you want to try drawing something of your own and use the “Create” feature, without having a premium account you’re bombarded with these continuous pop-ups that disrupt your drawing. Moreover, if you exit this pop up your whole drawing is lost and it takes you back to the main page. The pop-up was enough for people who don’t have premium!.Version: 7.0.2

What rubbish!I wanted to get better at drawing and I saw this app and all the ads of it and it worked really well. However, when I try to draw things I go to draw but I can’t because the picture goes away when my hand is in the shot. 🙄 Such a let down!.Version: 7.1.1

Sounds great in theory, but lacking in reality.This is exactly what I was looking for, but once purchased it has not lived up to my expectations. If the app was upgraded with a simple ‘lock’ function it would make all the difference. Once I have my image in place I can’t lock it in, so then when I move the phone it loses the tracking, which makes the app essentially useless. Plus you throw in the fact that it is a subscription based rather expensive app. Super frustrating. Just tried to go to the ‘Contact Us’ tab in the settings and it doesn’t work. I’d like a refund please..Version: 6.0.6

Crashes during “Personalising”Tried it three times in a row. Same result. Selecting right handed, beginner, portraits and figures, allow notifications. On iPad Pro 9.7 running 14.3. Would love to be able to rate it higher but wow, no. Also, the pro level is crazy expensive....Version: 7.1.2

Good idea, just doesn’t workDoes pick up paper, crosses and can’t place image correctly in the one place continuously. Can’t even use their own images. Wouldn’t recommend until unproven :(.Version: 4.1

Messing with my phone brightness!?My screen brightness is on max but when I use this app my screen becomes progressively darker even though my settings are at max brightness the whole time. I don’t have that feature that auto adjusts the brightness but when I use this app then the brightness will flicker and will continue to do so until I force quit the app. It takes a while for the brightness to go back to normal. This is the only application that causes my phone to do this :/.Version: 6.0.2

Doesn’t work consistentlyThis app was great the very first time I used it. But all subsequent attempts to us it have failed. About 10 seconds into drawing, the AR overlay is interrupted with an advertisement. When I dismiss the advertisement the overlay disappears again and I have to restart the entire process. I can never get past the first 10 seconds of usage. I would not pay money for this as it is un usable after the first successful attempt..Version: 7.2.2

I’m completely newI am completely new to drawing and never took art classes while at school 25 years ago. So although it is really cool seeing the time lapse results of what I’ve traced, I am not finding that I am learning anything about drawing. It’s just tracing. Perhaps I’ve not yet delved far enough into the program yet, but you’ve prompted me for a review after the first 3 lessons, nothing has actually been explained yet. As things stand I can not recommend this app to anyone wanting to learn how to draw from the very beginning. Not sure why I would want to pay for pro version either..Version: 6.0.4

Crashes on iPhone 11 while in arCrashes on iPhone 11 while in ar.Version: 6.0.9

DO NOT TRUST THIS APP!!!I wanted to test out the free trial and it charged me $100 immediately after clicking the free trial button. The price for a year is only about $80 so I don’t know why it charged me $100. It’s called a FREE trial for a reason. Do not let your money get stolen from you!.Version: 8.3.3

It’s not a bad appWhen I got this app I want on the paper but it did not wanted to work I try to go off and back on but I couldn’t work. I give it one star it is cool..Version: 5.2.1

What a let downI thought this had really good potential as it had a guide for beginners and seemed to have a lot of drawings to keep you going. However, when I started to get more familiar with the tools I noticed there was glitches. For instance I used the blend tool to keep the same colour when shading but when I went back into the drawings there was many streak-lines in the drawings where I used the blending tool (pointless). Worst thing I ever done was try the 3 day trial as all my drawings were deleted when I signed in. Tried customer support but all I got back was ‘Have you got Pro?’. Heard nothing back since. Well no, like I said I haven’t got Pro and don’t intend to especially if it’s unstable..Version: 7.0.2

Unable to trial app without payment :-(What kind of app launches and asks for money, before you can even see if you like it? This one. And no way am I paying up front without a free trial. Or at least being able to preview the app, see if it is right for me. It might be a wonderful app. But seriously - hitting on users for money up front is a no go. And a poor way of introducing people to your app. What if I paid, and the app was not for me? Could I get a refund? Many apps require “register before viewing” (which I also don’t like) - but very few ask you to “pay before viewing.”.Version: 6.0.5

Not great so far.I’m about 5 mins into the app and its already showed up for premium twice now. I’ve tried the ar paper thing but it won’t show up on the page and then it took me off that page. Not great..Version: 6.2.1

NopeJust nope. Won't work. Won't hold still for more than 2 seconds.Version: 1.2

Don’t pay for it!What a waste of money. Nothing like shown in the ad. Bought the weekly subscription and tried it but the AR was so jittery and unstable it couldn’t read the canvas and it made my phone overheat and I’m not using cheap or old phone I’m using iPhone 13Pro. Absolute waste of money deleted the app after a very frustrating hour of trying to do what it was supposed to do with it..Version: 8.3.7

WawYou wanna learn how to draw faces or objects? Nope! You are literally just gonna learn how to draw a penguin with a heart in its hand. If you want to draw something else, you have to pay. Well, i’ll be honest here, the price for the pro version is pretty cheap. I will not give it a try tough because I don’t really have 7$ CAN to spend right now because I thought I could draw a bit more things before having to pay... 😕.Version: 5.3.8

This was terribleEvery time I tried to use it it wouldn’t work I put it to my paper and no matter the brightness of the room it glitched and didn’t work if I could give it a zero it would still be to high please get this fixed.Version: 8.5.2

I hate it sorryEvery time I put the paper in the camera it says the tracking is lost and I’ve just wasted money for no reason I wanted to draw something nice for my boyfriend but now I can’t because of all the glitching.Version: 8.3.1

Need to pay for literally everythingThere's no point downloading this app if you're not willing to pay a large amount of money. there's literally hardly any free options - and the free options that are there are useless tbh. also if you came from that stupid tiktok ad like me don't even bother downloading this app because everything in that advert requires a payment... like honestly what's the point only advertising the money requiring features of the app, it's just deceptive... but i give it two stars and not one because it does look like a cool and unique app it's just it costs loads of money!.Version: 8.7

Doesn’t work, Clunky.Not only does it require payment to use half the features, but it doesn’t even detect my paper correctly in AR. I tried using two different notebooks and it kept flashing the AR ui on my paper and had something along the lines of “Cant detect paper, show full page” despite me looking from many different angles and distances from the paper. Don’t even get me started on how hard it is to navigate the menus. I went through three stages of the color matching game before it broke.. Another thing I personally have an issue with as well is theor support for NFTs. What does an app meant to learn and use AR imagery as guide have to do with NFTs? It’s clearly just a way to grab NFT investors to their awful app..Version: 8.2.10

Won’t even allow you to test it outIt takes a little while to pull the photo I want to use from my iPhone 11. It eventually loads the photo and just as I rotate it and size it how I want then the ad for the pro version pops up. As soon as the ad pops up the image disappears and it takes me back to the selection screen asking if I want to take a lesson or create something. I tried three times but every time I position and size an image to my paper the ad pops up and I can’t even test it out. I can’t even test it for five minutes. No way I’m starting a subscription after that experience..Version: 6.1.3
