MapScribe for Negative User Reviews

✓ Would be 5 Star, but CrashesThis app is great for creating fantasy-style maps simply. Unfortunately, the app crashes when using larger-resolution canvases. When it does so, any unsaved progress is erased. It would be nice to be able to work on a large-scale map without having to save every 30 seconds for fear of a crash..ConnectMustDieVersion: 1.3

✓ Still needs some work but great Base.There's great art tools in this but Coastlines or any sort of border line is impossible to draw. Maybe you could with a tablet pencil but I feel not everyone has those. Some tool for creating coastline would be much appreciated, especially if you could just draw a basic shape and have the app auto create a coastline shape based on it. Maybe have options of how smooth or rough of a coastline it is, perhaps a tool. I haven't gotten to use the other useful stuff yet because I'm stuck on not being able to create the landmasses, Islands, etc..Davren LangstonVersion: 2.0

✓ Great app BUTThis app does a very good job making any sort of map but my only problem is that when you erase it shows up as a different color than what it was before, this makes it look distorted and messes it up.JuliusjettVersion: 1.3

✓ Horrible AppI wish I would have listened to the reviews - I paid $5 for no reason...the map is SO hard to use and honestly there are so many bugs that need to be fixed. Horrible..Whitney10282819863748Version: 1.0

✓ It’s okayIt’s not the best I’ve seen, and it’s hard to work with and frustrating. I kinda wasted my money..Anonymous102805Version: 2.0

✓ This is really useful!This is probably one of the best map making tools I’ve seen for ios. It has many assets you can use for markers, towns, forests, terrain, etc. I feature I’d like to suggest would be maybe allowing images to be uploaded so we can trace or add our own assets..Al3xa.musicVersion: 2.0

✓ Please fixI love everything about this app except it doesn’t work on my phone for some reason. The app keeps on shutting down or even freezing my phone..Dean1613Version: 1.0

✓ Trash don’t buyThe good reviews for this garbage were likely written by the developers because this app is a non functional mess the stamps take up the whole map the line tool is buggy save your money and stay far away from this.MorkelebVersion: 1.0

✓ Bad ControlsThe brush scales with how one is zoomed in. This means you need to zoom in on any area you want to place fine detail on, otherwise you will get Mountains and trees that take up a sixteenth of the screen. I like the features but they need to make an adjustable brush for actual precision,.BleodsianVersion: 1.0

✓ An average appIt isn’t bad. I have never really made maps before so this was a new to me. I wanted it because I have been making a fantasy story and need to map out locations. However I am not sure how to delete a map that has been saved. I had a few rough drafts and mess ups and I can’t find a way to delete them which is quite frustrating.Irish_pancakeVersion: 1.3

✓ I love this but..I wish you guys could make it compatible with an iPad. I use my iPad for drawing and it would be great to have the bigger surface. I’ve searched the App Store and I can’t seem to find it on the iPad App Store. Please make it compatible! :-).Gopoptart12Version: 1.3

✓ List of problems (iPhone)1) Description of app claims multiple resolutions but there is no way to control canvas size or export resolution. It seems smaller drawings are supposed to pass for larger resolutions. 2) There is no way to close a menu without making a selection, eg. a cancel button. 3) Undo does not work on the first item drawn when map is zoomed and brush size is set to the smallest level. 4) The help document is both obsolete and woefully insufficient. 5) When using a feature brush, each instance overlaps the last (acting like a stamp instead of a brush). 6) The water brush/stamp is okay for lakes and horizontal rivers but not for diagonal or vertical rivers because of the horizontal design. 7) There is no way to rotate the canvas or the compass. 8) There is no free version to try so one can determine if the app is worth the price. I’m extra disappointed because I thought I would never find an app that would help me draw maps for my RP game so when I saw this I thought my wish came true. After purchasing it and finding the flaws I regret spending the money..WintersetVersion: 1.3

✓ There’s this problemI was excited to use this, until I realized I couldn’t pull a pre made map from my photos. How dumb is that? I can save the map to photos. But I can’t retrieve it from my photos. This app has potential, but that was a deal breaker for me..Pantheon MMAVersion: 2.0

✓ Nasty want my money backI could do better by hand, not worth the time or money. Want a refund.Stid lewVersion: 2.0

✓ Resolution too lowI was really excited to use this but I was immediately disappointed to find the resolution is so low that it’s not really good for anything but messing around. My intent was to use this to map out a fictional world I am writing about and there is no way you can make a map of that size. You are much better off using something like procreate and importing your own images for the features. Sure it’s an extra step but it’s worth it for how limited this app is. For $1 this might be fun to mess around with. But for $5 I was expecting something much more professional. Not recommended..TheGamerBabeVersion: 1.3
