ArtPose Pro for Negative User Reviews
✓ Performs incredibly worst compared to the other appsEven when using one model, the app runs at an abysmal 5 fps. The separate apps run nearly at 30 fps. The posing is also much more tedious..Version: 1.2
✓ Could,be betterA lot joints twist oddly if you try for more complex poses like move the shoulder or elbow. Control the pivots points could be made to be simpler with the uses or arrows instead of guessing.Version: 1.3
✓ Bad resolutionBadly optimised for an iPhone 12 screen, buttons positioned too close to edges of screen and don’t react to touch half the time. Please fix soon..Version: 2.5
✓ I would suggest... IMOThings it needs: Move tools: like the bottom circle of the model in “pose mode!” By selecting the wrist or foot of the desired limb, one could control said limb almost entirely! Also for the hip as well! If one moves or rotates the hip, then the feet (and perhaps hands) shouldn’t move. This feature could be turned on and off as desired! Rotate tools: I tried the app “Easy Poser” and its rotate tools seem like something an iPod or iPad app should utilize! Simply dragging on the device for me seems a bit cumbersome and it would take a good minute to get my desired pose! These are my suggestions! Ever fiddled with “Poser” or any other 3D animation/posing software? That’s what I’m getting at!.Version: 1.2
✓ So buggy - it’s useless!The app has several major flaws and some make it hard for workarounds. Making the app nearly useless. 1) Saving doesn't always work. Sometimes it saves, other times one of the two figures is saved in default standing position. Sometimes the app crashes completely, so you lose all your work! 2) Undo doesn't work properly and always (as a side effect) resets the wrist position to default 3) When twisting (rotating) something using two fingers - press with one and then with another finger slide. But as soon as you touch the screen with the second finger the limb jumps into some extreme position. You can then slide it to the position you want, but as soon as you lift the finger it just jumps into some random position again. This happens almost always. But after a few tries it might start working as intended. 4) There's no limiting setting for most limbs, so you often end up in some unrealistic twisted position. And you don't always notice this until you rotate the viewport. A little too much would be alright, but it ends up being twisted in distorted ways that is not something anyone could use. Not like a broken arm, rather like a thin line instead of a portion of an arm, for example. This can’t be too difficult to fix, just set maximum value of every rotation in the code. In fact, the limiting is only there for knees, chest, and shoulder blade area. 5) The Save pose mechanism is pretty badly done. When you save you don't know if you're about to overwrite your previous save. Well at least this has a workaround. You have to click Load on the left side, so you basically have two menus open at the same time. This way you see that on the left side slot 10, for example, is not taken so you can save on the right side in slot 10. Classic Save/Save As, without any slots would be a much better way! If #5 was the only problem I wouldn't even take a single star off, and still give 5, to sort of promote this product because it's got so much useful potential. But I have only used it for about 20 minutes to discover all these things I've listed! Which of course means that the developer knows about it. To call a product like this "Pro", well that's just not right. Maybe "alpha" would be more suitable. In short, these bugs make it completely impossible to get anything done without a lot of frustration and lots of wasted time. I don't mind minor bugs, you know if a developer is dedicated those will be resolved. But to push into production such broken product is telling me they just don't care. Returning this defective thing back. There are alternative apps available, and after trying some (most are worse than this, looking like they’re ported straight from Windows 3.11) but I’ve found one that works reliably and has well detailed figures (though ArtPose is a bit better detailed). But in this app (I won’t mention its name to avoid making this review seem biased) it’s easy to rotate viewport without clicking on different icons that are in opposite corners! You just tap outside the models anywhere and you can rotate camera, tap on a model and you can adjust it. Adjusting there is so cool and smooth, you can move a certain part of the body, like abdomen, and the body moves naturally. But that app’s saving function is even worse than ArtPose’s. But at least it saves. ArtPose also has much more preset poses, while that app comes empty. It comes with full-feature 7 day trial, reverting to free version afterwards. Free limitations being single model, and no finger adjustments. But finger adjustment there is pretty bad anyway. At least in ArtPose presets are natural looking. The best finger position flexibility I’ve seen so far is in “Make A Pose”, I can mention it because well, to put it in kind words, that app is in a whole different league... So in short, there are only two apps in this category that are close to being perfect for the task. If ArtPose Pro was to fix these awful bugs, make the left camera icon to be a toggle switch between editing and viewport adjustment, or put both icons on the left side. It would be a clear winner. If you change the Save to be working as a simple Save/Save As where you can see if you’re overwriting something easily and if you introduce finger adjustment instead of handful of presets, well then this app would simply be perfect!.Version: 1.0
✓ Wrist Issue Fixed! No, It’s NotI was so excited about this update when I saw the claim that the incredibly frustrating wrist issue had been resolved. It hasn’t. It’s still there. Thanks for continuing to show your disdain for those of us who paid more for the pro version (I previously bought the regular male and female versions) hoping for pro features. Joke’s on us, I guess..Version: 1.3
✓ Needs better controlsGreat app as far as options but it can become tedious to set up a pose. Controls like Proko’s Skelly app would be so much more useful. The controls here are not very precise or intuitive..Version: 2.53
✓ Initially useful, ultimately uselessI bought the whole package when I first got my iPad. I wanted a good bodily reference app that allowed for both male/female figures and could alter the overall body shapes. Initially these apps did just that…the interface for body manipulation is VERY difficult, clunky but learnable. If all goes badly you just start fresh and try again. Annoying but it can be dealt with. However very quickly the biggest shortcoming of this app becomes apparent: the morphs aren’t really morphs at all. The manipulation of a single body part doesn’t result in an organic pull-and-push of the other related bodily groups. If you lift an arm, it doesn’t cause the shoulder to rise and ‘bunch’ against the neck the way it does in real humans. It’s literally nothing but a glorified stick figure about as useful as a reference as an old possible GI Joe figure. It’s a bare bones skeleton with complete disregard for actual body mechanics and deformations. It’s like learning anatomy drawing from Poser 3D circa 2001. It CAN give a beginner or even intermediate artist working on their life drawing a decent reference if all others aren’t available. But in the end the resulting figures are awkward, unrealistic, and you can’t even export them in a useful outline or sketch style, just basically “black and white” and “grayscale” of your screen. Having to switch constantly from one entire toolset to another is annoying. You tweak the figure, now have to go to the camera tools to change views and check that it’s right. Need to adjust? Go back to body menu. Now back to camera…bad. Camera viewing angle should be a “master tool” apart from the body modeling and light tools. The poses are also not organized in any sense I could find. There are weird random action poses amongst standing. There are superhero poses next to what looks like ballet. Nothing is labeled or organized by general category (“comic book,” “gymnastics,” “action,” “leisure,” etc.) so you have to hunt after a pose every single time. Bad. I would’ve given more stars despite all that if the apps were frequently and progressively improved upon by the developers. But they seem to just have been left at this point. I’m not using them anymore and looking for other alternatives, even online browser-accessible pose libraries. This just is ultimately a very awkward, inaccurate, poorly laid out app for its stated function..Version: 2.51
✓ It’s pretty goodThis app controls like a**, but it has probably the most detailed and true-to-form models I’ve seen in a poser app to date. The form of the models and muscle definition is solid and provide a good reference for drawing. You cannot pose the fingers besides a few presets, and the figure variety only ranges from “skinny muscled” to “jacked muscled”, so probably not the best app if you’re looking to draw heavier set or less strong people. You can also only add two models in a scene at a time. I do like the app, though. Good for thumbnails and mockups..Version: 1.3
✓ Good, but needs improvementsWhat I love about this app above all is the musculature and being able to see the effects of muscles as you move and bend things. For a posing too, it’s one of the most realistic and well rendered out there. I love the proportions of the body, and I love the detail and how light is reflected realistically as opposed to say, an anime character with smoother features. However, as a pose reference tool, it needs some serious work. It runs very slow, first off. I’m using an iPad Pro Gen 2 and it’s still extremely sluggish to pose anything. This wouldn’t be too much of an issue though, were it not for my biggest, BIGGEST complaint. You have to do separate modes to move the camera and the limbs. Meaning, to move the camera, you have to click the bottom left of the screen to set it to “camera” mode. To move the limbs, you have to click the bottom right icon. That means you cannot do both at the same time.... unlike literally every other posing app. Having to switch between “camera” mode and “pose” mode is seriously what kills this app for me. The tediousness of going back and forth just make me go for a different app, such as MagicPoser. Trying to do a complicated pose on this app would admittedly make my head hurt. If you didn’t have to switch modes and could move the camera at the same time as trying to pose things, then I would be more encouraged to work with it more. I really do like the anatomy in this app, and it’s a shame it has such a huge setback. I feel like this app could be one of the best if it was streamlined and made into a more comfortable and less tedious process. The sluggishness would be fine if I could move the camera at the same time as posing the figure. Two separate modes is not great. I hope they continue to update this app, it would be my main reference tool if it was a bit smoother..Version: 1.3
✓ Why no export?This could be a useful app for roughing out figures to open in sub D or other apps for detailing, or even for 3D printing... if ONLY the developers would add an Export To OBJ feature that could export files to Dropbox. None of the myriad posting apps available for iPad offers an export function. You can save your pose... take a screen shot... but no option for exporting the actual 3D model to other software. Developer needs to WAKE UP. I would easily pay more for an app with a good figure model that could export in OBJ..Version: 2.5
✓ MehStiff models, arms only move one way and half the set poses are for superheroes, not great, also if you try to move the wrist around the model twists around itself.Version: 2.5
✓ Controls?Seems decent, but 5 minutes in and my model is holding 50 things in each hand because there’s no obvious way to remove props? How do I remove props?.Version: 2.5
✓ Needs Better ControlsThis app is phenomenal, but it is not user friendly. Honestly, the movement controls are complicated for no reason. It would be much better to just have an X/Y/Z axis wheel to move the joints instead of this weird 1,2, left, left, right, one finger, two finger stuff. It makes posing way too tedious for no reason..Version: 2.53
✓ No bottom-up lightingThe light cannot be placed below the model. This is not ideal for artists, using this as reference for drawing. My work around was to flip the model upside down, but that shouldn’t be necessary. Seems like a completely unnecessary restriction that could be easily fixed..Version: 2.5
✓ The app keeps force closing while in useWhat is the procedure for the app when it closes suddenly and you are working on a project please help ASAP thanks in advance.Version: 2.5
✓ Crash crashI have the 2 previous versions and I like them a lot, but this one crashes constantly, can't even get to change body types. Please check into this guys..Version: 1.2
✓ Needs a gizmoI use this app for a lot and find it very useful for my work, but it's often difficult to adjust fine details because it's very hard to figure out where a touch motion will actually move the selected joint. This could be easily fixed by the addition of a "gizmo" tool like many other 3d posing apps have. I've found myself avoiding it lately for lack of this tool and am looking for an alternative, but would be happy to return if this could be fixed. I also have trouble with the presentation of preset poses. The poses themselves are great, but since there's no numbering or naming I frequently get lost when looking for a specific pose. The UI is... fine. Saving and loading poses is quite esoteric and I'm still not sure how it works. A decent three out of five..Version: 2.53
✓ Keeps crashingEvery time I open the app it crashes straight away.Version: 2.5
✓ Incredibly hard to workEven with reading the instructions countless times, i can’t figure out how to pan the camera around *while* posing the model. this is something i need to do because that is how i check if the pose looks right at all angles, as well as how i get some positions right. at this point i don’t even know if it’s possible, or if i just haven’t figured it out?! the posing mechanisms are also very frustrating to work..Version: 2.5
✓ Glitch?Sometime the option to move the entire body (not just parts) on the x and y axis is visible, and sometimes it’s not. I’m not sure how to recreate this issue. How are you supposed to move the entire model at once? I want two characters in the scene..Version: 2.53
✓ Clumsy interfaceThe interface is not very intuitive and rather clumsy. There is zero support or help besides an extremely basic 2 min video which does not cover much. The ‘take pictures’ features is obscure as the pictures are not saved to Photos app but to the inexistent ‘Camera Roll’ The app has possibilities but it needs A LOT of improvement to be useful for artists..Version: 2.5
✓ Great but limitedI absolutely love using this app! It's certainly artist friendly and very fun to use. However, I feel it doesn't have enough to work with. I wish there was an age slider to pose from child to adult or elderly. Or from muscular to chubby. I just feel it isn't complete as of yet. But with what we have so far, it's great. Not perfect, but great. Would love to see an update to have more variety for body types!.Version: 2.5
✓ Charged me 13$ when it says 5.99$ ??Why was I charged extra?.Version: 1.2
✓ Great content, terrible UIAs others have mentioned, the models are incredibly awkward to pose. The pre-posed figures are good but ultimately unusable due to very poor navigation. There are a lot of good poses but it’s almost impossible to find the poses you want. They’re not labelled and there’s no catagorisation so finding any specific pose is incredibly inefficient. It really needs either categories, search functionality or, ideally, both. This app has a lot of potential. It could be an absolute gamechanger but in it’s current form it’s not worth your time. I’d love to see this change some day soon..Version: 2.5
