VizRef for Positive User Reviews
✓ ExactlyI’ve wanted this but until now not found anything like it for iPad. It’s simplicity is key. No distractions. The key features are in place. I don’t want it to change much. But maybe pencil support?.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Wish google photos would syncTruly great program, I’m sadly just not an iPhone user so I rely on g photos for storage of all my photos/refs. VizRef is ideal for collecting my boards in one spot, downside is I have to constantly transfer over photos and just takes up more time than I’d prefer. Hopefully there can be an update for this sometime (unless I’m silly and haven’t figured how to do so yet…).Version: 1.1.7
✓ Can’t fully articulate how great this app is.Have a project you need reference for? This is the place to save it. Open up your browser side by side with VIZREF. Choose a pic from your browser. Hold the pic with one finger and drag it to VIZREF. Once you have one pic, or many pics, open VIZREF fully. Now you can resize and move your saved reference pics. Want a giant board with thousands of tiny pics. No problem. Not only can you change the size of the pic you want at any time (within reason- make it much larger than the original file and it gets blurry, you’ll have to play around with the app to get the ins and outs) you can also move it anywhere on the board AND THEN you can zoom the board in and out with the pinch gesture. Yes this app cost you some money, but it’s well worth it. Create the board anywhere you have internet, save it and when you are away from home (or just don’t have internet access) you can access all your photo refs you saved in this app. It’s not Pinterest, yes you can save photos, but this is JUST the pics you save. No suggestions, no ads. Just you, your reference pics and your imagination. BUY IT RIGHT MEOW...seriously though, it’s great..Version: 1.1.6
✓ So usefulAny artist will appreciate this app. Easy and intuitive. Drew something real quick using it and I just enjoyed it so much. I usually limit myself to one reference when I draw because it’s all I can display without cluttering my screen. Being able to see so many at once has made a clear impact in my work. :3.Version: 1.1
✓ Extremely useful tool for any iPad artistI’ve just been using PureRef on my desktop and exporting images to icloud drive, and then dragging them over to procreate. Extremely glad to be able to shorten that process! With auto pack, the only thing i’d want is being able to pan while locked. I thought it would just keep images in place but it doesn’t like you pan through a filled board.Version: 1.1
✓ Exactly what I neededWas recommended this by several artists and it’s exactly what I needed as an IPad pureref counterpart <3 keep up the amazing work Beezul!.Version: 1.1.6
✓ Data not collectedThank you! Useful app that works well..Version: 1.1.7
✓ AmazingThe only thing I wish it could do is allow us to add text. I’d like to make notes next to the reference images. Otherwise, love the app!.Version: 1.1.6
✓ Everything I need, no nonsenseThis app has given me a huge creative boost, I love making boards of a bunch of different images and then finding interesting ways to put them all together into one fun piece of art. It has everything that I could’ve asked for, nothing extra, and it’s all easy to use when I need it and out of the way when I don’t. Thank you!.Version: 1.1.7
✓ Perfect tool for Pro and Studying Artists!This will finally allow us to more easily reference images as we create our artworks or study! The developer is working really hard on it and trying to get out improvements as well as listening to the art community for feedback. I love where the app is at and am excited for its future!.Version: 1.0
✓ The app I didn’t realize I was missingI’m so used to just image-searching or using Pinterest to save photos to my files, importing them to each individual canvas and working from there, but this is the intuitive alternative I didn’t realize I needed until now. Super easy to use, no frills or bad interface getting in the way. Very pleasantly surprised so far. I’ll try out gifs and such later, but this is a great addition to my Procreate experience..Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn’t let me add photosWon’t let me add photos at all to the app and keeps telling me to delete photos to free up space, even though i have well over 40GB of free space on my iPad. EDIT: Developer has stated that this is a bug and that there is a temporary workaround for it. Works great now! I’m glad that they are responsive and working hard to fix issues..Version: 1.0
✓ Thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!I’ve been using the iPad Pro for work (creative industry) daily since the very first release with the pencil. I’ve tried so many ways of collecting & displaying my references/my sketches whatever it may be at the time so that i can draw it. I thought it would be a simple thing, but even the photos app in slide over gets in the way/changes image when drawing quickly and you swipe the slide over with the side of your palm. And being able to drag and drop your references from so many places so easily & rearrange & resize, is outrageously good. Unexpectedly so. Seriously Dev, I’ve been wanting something like this for so long, and you absolutely nailed it. You don’t understand how much time this is going to save me. Thank you..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Love it!!I don’t typically leave reviews, but this app certainly warrants my compliments. It’s simplistic, effective, and I’m so glad to finally have a space to organize my reference images. I saw a Youtuber using the beta and his recommendation sold me instantly. There’s two things that I feel would enhance my experience, and those would be the ability to rotate my entire ref board, and to be able to add notes with my Apple Pencil/typing (esp the ability to add links for where I got my reference images from). Overall, it’s a beautiful app, and I’m super happy with my purchase:) highly recommend buying it if you’re considering..Version: 1.1
✓ AmazingI was tentative to buy this app at first but, after a few days of use, genuinely happy with my purchase. The app is extremely easy to navigate and overall quite pleasant to use. I never realized just how much it was needed until I got it. It has sped up my workflow immensely, decluttered my camera roll (since you don’t have to save images and can just drag them), and made it extremely fun to put together intricate reference boards for all of my art projects. The fact that the canvas is infinite and quality of the image isn’t lost when you change its size is simply amazing. The only thing I could possibly ask for is a text feature but I think that may already be in the works (?) Honestly love this app 5/5.Version: 1.1.7
✓ UnmatchedLove this app, I use it all the time. Just wish you could rotate images and draw on the board itself (just for notes and stuff).Version: 1.1.7
✓ Worth the money, but just one thing…It would be great to be able to draw or write notes on top of your board! Other than that, its been very useful to me ;).Version: 1.1.7
✓ Could be better with one feature.Honestly, I only used this app once. It's because of this lack of a one specific feature. I'm a person who learns by annotating and criticizing what’s wrong in my art, and what should've been done correctly from references. It's a shame that an app that's meant for in-depth self-learning doesn’t have a built in typing feature that captions pictures. Other than that, the simple and “intuitive” UI and the ease of using the app is good. It has potential..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Incredibly helpfulA great tool for my Procreate workflow. Being able to view and edit all the reference material I need whilst I make art is very useful. Importing images either through drag and drop or the files explorer is a breeze. This app is a must own in my book. My only gripe is related to the reference board selection screen, once it has filled up with lots of boards navigation and organisation can be quite sluggish. I think this could easily be remedied by allowing folder creation and also by adding sort options (sort by name, date, etc.) This is a great app regardless. Totally recommended..Version: 1.1.7
✓ GreatReally useful, but it’d be even better if I could use Apple Pencil to annotate my boards.Version: 1.0
✓ Fantastic app for artists!I mainly work with procreate and my IPad so I have been wanting to find something that could act as a reference board similar to how Pureref is used on the desktop. This handles everything that I need! Of course there could be some minor updates here and there like being able to freely rotate with your fingers along the board and adding small notes but I couldn’t be happier with my purchase! Hope to see what else is in store for this!.Version: 1.1.7
✓ Super easy to useI love how auick and simple it is , just a blank canvas to drop and image and scale. the only thing that would request is a notation feature like textbox or handwriting so i can make little notes to myself about what i've boarded!.Version: 1.1.7
✓ Only one minor issueI absolutely love this app, and it’s made it so easy to compile pictures without filling up my photos app! My only issue with it are that you can’t create folders for the files. Besides that, it has an awesome UI and I use it nearly every day for my art!.Version: 1.1.7
✓ More than just for digital artI use this everyday to use while painting traditionally. I can also trace on top of the iPad due to its lock feature. Great app, could use more advanced features, but it’s clean and fast right now so I wouldn’t like it to start freezing and crashing more often….Version: 1.1.7
✓ Good app...ButThe app is overall is a good app. However a text box feature will be would be great so that mood boards can be illustrated..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Totally worth itUsing this app is a huge improvement over just having the photos app open, highly recommended. Also I'm using a 2018 ipad and haven't had any problems with the image limit, which I worried about before buying..Version: 1.1.6
✓ Great Companion App for CreativesI’ve done the old fashion manual assembly of references in a Procreate canvas and export them as one jpeg method for a while, which is so tedious. If you’re familiar with PureRef on desktop then this app is similar. My only request would be a way to rotate images on the board fluidly, which might interfere with pinch zoom but might be possible with a lock or snap system? However the features are already great from the start and I’ve immediately started using it on my current projects..Version: 1.0
✓ Best reference appI am very happy that I found VizRef, it helps a lot. It’s very smooth and easy. Some requests to the developers, can you add the rotation by degrees? And can you provide VizRef in Mac plz? Thank you for the best.Version: 1.1.7
✓ Some needed featuresLove the app, it’s so easy to drag and drop images. It’s simple but effective. There’s one key feature that’s missing though. Rotation. It really bothers me that I can’t rotate any references nor can I rotate the canvas. Other than that, a text feature for notes/ideas would also be great..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Wonderfully Simplistic!Love using this app and dragging in inspiration from Safari. The only thing I wish that would improve this app for me is if they could implement the ability to also be able to draw on the boards! I would love to be able to write notes or circle certain things I like about the images..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Bugged first board but second board and onward working fineWas frustrated because my first board would only let me add two images. Contacted support who messaged me back promptly that this is a bug with the first board created after downloading the app. Working fine now..Version: 1.0
✓ Good but need more functionI think this is the best reference tool for iPad Pro, but I wish you could copy and paste multiple pictures at once, able to rotate to any angle, and probably add some texts..Version: 1.1.7
✓ (Edit) Two Requests: Board Sync or Import/Export Option + PINEdit: It seems like it has a sync option, but it doesn’t work properly. This iPad app is great and I intend to buy the iPhone version. I would like to request the option to sync boards or be able to import and export boards between the iPhone and iPad version. Would also like to request the ability to enable a PIN to access the app..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Keep CrashingI love the app! However it keeps crashing for random reason. Be it while I touch it after a bit when multi tasking or when I’m trying to do a multi image select. Would give a 5 star otherwise. Edit: After the new update I no longer crash when doing a multi image select. Will Update if anything else comes up. To add to my review: I simply love having a visual “board” where I can keep multiple reference and divide them in multiple group. The fact that you can use it in side-by-side with other app is also a must for this kind of app. I’ll also add that being able to easily copy an image made it easier for me to do art studies..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Amazing app, add a penLove the app, glad I bought it. Devs, please consider adding a pen tool, so we can annotate, connect, emphasize. Greta app!.Version: 1.1.5
✓ Super helpful!As a full time artist that prefers to do her work on an iPad, this has helped a TON! I love having references up constantly, and easy to move around. One suggestion I do have though, is maybe have a folder function of some sort in the main menu, so I can stay organized since I plan to use it A LOT. Thanks!.Version: 1.0
✓ Very UsefulGreat, simple app. Any chance of adding folders to better organise boards? I use some for art refs, some for writing inspiration, etc, and it’d be great to organise them more neatly..Version: 1.1.6
✓ An artists dream come trueSeriously, The first thing you want to do is open this app and press the little video camera icon in the top left and watch the 4 minute tutorial. Not only is this app going to teach beginners about their iPad in that 4 minutes but the real gems of Viz Ref. 4 minutes of your life and you’re off. The ability to quickly drag and drop images right from google and other applications, directly to the side of my screen is one of the most convenient things when working on a project. Honestly, get this application..Version: 1.1
✓ This is what I was looking for …This app is great, even more than great ! This is the exact replacement for Pureref on desktop that I’ve been using for so long. I don’t know why people ask for rotation because YOU CAN if only you clic on the eye on the top left you’ll be able to rotate the full cavas any way you want ! Thank you so much for this app!!.Version: 1.1.7
✓ Best app I never knew I neededAs soon as I saw this on Twitter I KNEW I had to get it! I spend so much time moving between drawing and ref images on my iPad and this has saved me! I also use it as a general ref board for my traditional illustrations too. Thankyou so much vizref thankyou.Version: 1.0
✓ SO GOODI sincerely love this app. It works so well, and fast. I was really worried there would be way too many editing tools of some kind and it would essentially be a way easier way for reposters to edit stolen art. I was so happy to be Proven wrong. It is literally just to doof around and put the images you need for a pose/ or piece down and i love it. The only things i do wish it included are very superficial like the ability to scale and transform an image a bit more, but i do understand this was not added to probably avoid people accidentally using the wrong arrows and making it frustrating as well as maintaining resolution. And the other is that i do wish you could move projects around to either order them in some way or makes files to group them. This is so amazing to use though thank you so much for making it..Version: 1.0
✓ BrilliantThis app is so underrated, it’s so useful for my design projects and it makes it so much easier to create vision boards!.Version: 1.1.6
✓ Simply Fantastic, Fantastically SimpleI’ve been really enjoying using VizRef. I’m a comic creator and when I use writing apps I always delight in a nice virtual free form cork board filled with index cards, and now VizRef has provided me with that feature for visuals. As much as I’m using it to pull up specific references and look at them while drawing, I’m also using it as much or more to build inspiration and idea boards. I’d like to see the addition of some form of cloud backup & sync. I like cleaning out my overburdened camera roll and pushing all those materials to VizRef but worry about the risk of losing a large reference collection. I also use an old iPad for reference while at my drafting table so that I can keep all the screen real estate for drawing on the primary iPad, yet when on the go, split screen is the way to go... hence the desire to sync VizRef boards in the cloud for multi device use. A very simple markup tool would also be of interest. I frequently want to drop a reminder note or a quick circle on areas of interest from a reference. It’s doable now by copy pasting into Notes, marking up & re-importing, but it would be nice within the app. It’s a fine line to not over clutter a streamlined and conceptually simple app, but I wonder if these are already on the roadmap or if others have interest in such features. Either way, keep up the great work!.Version: 1.1
✓ Nice one!Useful app to use with Procreate. Would like to see gesture rotation and some kind of blur option added ( a bit like the BW option) in next update. Blur option can help with simplifying colour blocks in reference..Version: 1.1
✓ IndispensableTaking a minute out of a busy work schedule with a tight deadline to mention how indispensable this app is for my workflow on the iPad Pro. Just amazing how I can lay out all my reference in one place and pin it to the side in Split View or flip back and forth to it with Command-Tab on my keyboard. I had been doing this with Preview on MacOS for years but that only arranged them vertically; Vizref gives so much more flexibility. Also great for pausing gifs and stepping through them for accurate poses. Only thing I would add is the ability to slow down gif playback; when I upgraded to the M2 iPad the faster processor made my gifs comically fast! Otherwise loving VizRef and hope it stays around for a while. Would love a desktop version!.Version: 1.1.7
✓ Perfect accessory app for any drawing app!This is what I’ve been looking for for the iPad for SUCH a long time. I have the PC equivalent of this (Pureref) and it is such a Necessary part of my reference taking process I thought I would never be able to find something like this for the iPad.using this app in the multitask window is the best! Probably my favourite part is just dragging procreate files directly into it. So any character references or colour references you can keep easily accessible at all times without having to leave your canvas. This is a necessary recommendation for any iPad related artist!.Version: 1.0
✓ Must Have App; One Stage Manager Question/SuggestionI use this app for visual reference and thumbnail layout when working on comics and commissions. I couldn't imagine using the iPad as an art device without it. I like the added feature of being able to export moodboards as images / PDFs, especially when going from the iPad to a Windows computer. My only question/suggestion is that I cannot zoom or pan when using VizRef on a separate monitor + mouse/trackpad with Stage Manager. I might be missing something, though. If this is a bug with Stage Manager, I wonder if it would be possible to put zoom and pan gizmos in a corner [similar to Blender's zoom and pan gizmos] in order to make this somewhat possible when using a separate monitor + mouse/trackpad..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Great app, poor documentation‼️How to Multi-Select‼️: long press for half a second or so, then drag, and presto, you’re selecting multiple images. You’re welcome. This app is perfect for reference, works amazingly, and I heartily recommend it. However the documentation is really slapshod - took me months to figure out how to multi-select like the video demonstrates. This tidbit was buried in the “export” menu, but not featured in the tutorial video. Really sloppy and frustrating. So I’ve called that info out above in the hopes that someone else who is also frustrated will find it and be relieved, lol. Happy drawing!.Version: 1.1.7
✓ Essential ToolLooking forward to more features..Version: 1.1
✓ Great appWish there was a way to import links on it, like links to posts/videos or something like that :).Version: 1.1.7
✓ Absolute must have!I started using this app alongside drawing in procreate and now I can't imagine going without it! One recommendation I have is to add the ability to rotate individual images within the board to match the angle/perspective of what I am trying to draw. Currently can only rotate in 90 degree increments. Adding a different color circle above each image (in addition to the resize circles) that allows for rotation around the center point of the picture would be very helpful. If this function is included I’d give it a 6/5 if I could!.Version: 1.1.5
✓ Really helpfulI use this app a lot. It’s very helpful and easy to use. It does glitch out, freeze, and not let you use the tools at times. (like it will get stuck on just resizing a photo or it wouldn’t let you move a photo). One thing I think could make this app better is if you could write stuff, just like little notes, descriptions, ideas, keywords, etc..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Awesome digital art reference toolThe developer of this app is obviously an artist themselves, the functionality offers all the things you want to do with reference images in a digital art workflow on the iPad, especially with the multitasking capabilities of iPadOS. Easily place and non-destructively crop images, switch quickly between edit/view mode, resize and organize images intuitively. There are probably even more features and functionality I’ve not yet found, but even those mentioned are with the purchase price. If you use any graphics software on an iPad, and in particular an iPad Pro or an iPad that supports multitasking, do not hesitate buying this app like I did if you are on the fence — it’s exactly what you want..Version: 1.1.6
✓ Almost perfect. Please add text and pen support.I love the intuitiveness and simplicity of this app. A nice pure ref alternative. What’s painfully missing is any kind of way to jot down ideas or expand on any reference you bring in, limiting its use cases a lot. Devs please implement these features ! This can be one of the best brainstorming apps on iPad..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Brilliant and listens to usersWith the addition of focus mode I think this app is near perfect and an amazing tool! I can’t wait to see how it evolves in future!!.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Great app but…I really love this app to create mood boards with multiple images on infinite canvas but it would be very useful to be able to annotate and add text on images..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Learning Art and this app helps me.I am trying to learn drawing and this app makes my life much easier. I can easily drag and drop my reference images and organize inside the app. I don't have to go to images app and look through all the mixed photos. I didn't even know such an app existed. It needs to be advertised..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Ok startThis is a useful app if you need it. It’s missing touch controls like 2 and 3 finger tap to undo/redo. Drag and drop pictures from the app is also strangely missing. A gesture to get to get to a quick menu would be great to see as well. Exporting a set of reference with airdrop is another. Lastly, charging separately for the iPad and iPhone apps is a money grab. Don’t do that..Version: 1.1
✓ Close to perfectAdd ability to take notes. Add ability to Gaussian blur because a lot of artists squint to find shadow and light shapes from references. This will allow to find much easier. This would be a huge game changer seriously..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Perfect except for...This app is SO good, I use it for so many things all the time. It’s just that after years of using it I’ve been hoping for an update where you can add text or freehand write, draw or make notes on top of everything. I’m sure there are other things that can be added as well but the addition of text or making notes would make this app actually perfect. PLEASE!!! :(( (p.s it’d probably get 5 stars if it happened).Version: 1.1.7
✓ Great app for artistsI love this app. It has been really useful as an artist but it did crash once and erase my board. I would really love these features eventually. - The ability to lock image sizes! I want to be able to move things around from a zoomed-out view without dealing with accidentally resizing the image I'm trying to move. - Some sort of backup? I had a board crash and I lost all the pictures. - The ability to select a group of photos and automatically scramble/rearrange them and the ability to automatic change the grid (ex. From 2x10 to 5x4) - The ability to add some text or basic shapes..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Love it and have an idea for a new featureHello! VizRef has always worked flawlessly for me and I have no negatives to give, truly a worthwhile app. Something that would make an awesome addition I think would be to give a function like a layer overtop the ref board that is for writing. I think it would be really useful to be able to use a stylus to write overtop of the images/canvas with the function to hide/show it..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Amazingly useful if you paint on the iPadThis app is great for gathering reference pictures together, and works perfectly alongside Procreate. I love how you can organise and title all your projects, and it saves me so much time picking up where I left off in a painting. As others have mentioned, I would love a desktop version (I have used pureref for years, but would love something that’s cross compatible) The interface is nice and simple, and even big ref boards I’ve made load fine, it might just take a few seconds longer to display them all. One thing that I’d find useful; to be able to select and move multiple images at once. I think this app is best for digital painters, and if you wish to just create/annotate a mood board, something else might be a better choice for for you. For me, it’s perfect! And at £4, really wasn't too much of an investment. Thank you for creating this app!.Version: 1.1.6
✓ Super handyI’ve been using this for years now for various projects and it’s always run smoothly, even with large amounts of images and boards. I wish you could input text though. and the ability to scale the multiple selected images would be a convenient detail..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Super usefulDidn’t realise I needed this until I started using it. Very handy little companion app for Procreate allowing you to store a library of reference images without having to continuously turn layers on and off..Version: 1.1
✓ Good could be greatBullet list of suggested improvements - long press for options, much faster, easier, and modern than menu only - could not drag and drop to other apps in split view, tried Procreate and Goodnotes - really needs option to remove backgrounds, don’t need full on image editor, but that is one that would be extremely useful.Version: 1.1.7
✓ Everything I needed!I’ve been using three other gallery/file organizing apps just to substitute for everything this app is doing. Not having to search through my thousands of ref images for the couple I needed for a single project has been such a life saver. I’m happy to use an app that’s made by artists, who understand what other artists need and are looking for..Version: 1.1
✓ 99% perfectThe only thing that could make this app better in my opinion would be the ability to make notes over the images you import, other than that it works perfectly for image referencing for my projects. Being able to drag images in from Safari is super useful, I’ve used the gif capabilities more than I thought I would, the automatic organisation is super nice, and it works really nicely whether it’s full screen, on half the screen, or as a floating app. A must have for artists who do art on an iPad in my opinion :).Version: 1.1.7
✓ More artists need to have this appI saw someone talking about this app on twitter and bought it. I really like it. I used to print my references and tape them to my drafting table just because having references open on multiple chrome tabs on my ipad was a major pain. The interface is intuitive and it only has enough features focused on reference pic organization. I now have multiple boards for things that I draw often saved on this app and just need to add more if I find more pics of the same subject..Version: 1.1.6
✓ Underrated!This app is so underrated. The only function that would be super cool to have is Multi Selection, or some way to rearrange images in an organized matter (kinda how adding multiple images from the photos app).Version: 1.1.7
✓ Really 100% worth every pennyAt first, I was a little bit sceptical because there were a few bad reviews. However since buying it I can’t even remember life without it. As a character designer it has been an indispensable asset and has been especially helpful in having all my references in one place. Totally recommend!.Version: 1.1.6
✓ Wonderful app!I use this all the time for references :) the only thing i would like to see is rotation of images and also being able to make notes on the board? a simple pen tool would be awesome.Version: 1.1.7
✓ Love it!I’m not an artist and do not use this for the intended purpose; however, it makes a great all-purpose “pasteboard” for any sort of reference material. The feature I love is the ability to save and arrange animated gifs. Also useful for collecting gifs for reference (example: fitness gifs). I’m sure I’ll find many other uses for VizRef in the future. So worth the inexpensive cost, as well. Only one thing: please allow the ability to back up our boards to iCloud. What if I want to see my boards on other iOS devices, or if the app gets deleted? All my boards will be gone. Please make backup your next update priority. Thanks!.Version: 1.1.2
✓ So good but only one issue :(I’ve been looking for something like this for AGES it’s so great for compiling all my art references for a piece. However I’ve tried exporting it to my computer as I use a monitor and every time the app crashes. I know my iPad isn’t the problem and the apps up to date so I’m not sure what the issue is :/.Version: 1.1.7
✓ Great App for artistsI use my iPad for art quite a bit and constantly use reference. VizRef is an amazing compliment to that. It’s a very useful companion to other art apps. However I have one feature I wish it had. I wish you had the ability to export your board to a file. I know you can do a screenshot but I feel the resolution suffers. If I could export it to a file I could import it into other art apps and work that way. Thanks again for the great app!.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Great app, getting slowerI’ve been using VizRef since it came out, and it’s become integral to my art workflow. So well-designed and useful! Unfortunately I find that some of my reference galleries become slower and slower to work with over time, and can take up to 8 seconds to fully open and display. I thought the problem might be simply the volume of images (240) but then I exported all those images and added them to a new gallery, and the new gallery opened twice as fast. This procedure is not a good workaround, though, because it loses all the placement, scale, rotation, and cropping that I’ve done. It would be great if VizRef allowed the user to duplicate a gallery, which would make it easy to split up a big gallery into smaller galleries. I would also like to see support for copy-pasting multiple images at a time. Currently it will only paste one image at a time, which is impractical for moving photos between galleries. I’m hoping the developer can find more ways to optimize existing galleries, and/or make it easier to duplicate and move images between galleries, preserving settings! Also: still hoping for the ability to flip and rotate gifs….Version: 1.1.7
✓ Must have for artists!If you draw on your iPad you need this. You can have it on the side of apps like Procreate and have all you reference day to view. Feels like PureRef but for iPad..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Good toolGreat app, only thing I want is to be able to change the projects displayed image. Maybe an option to have the thumbnail also be of the entire project would be cool..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Fantastic app!Love it but am still hoping for other features! This app came recommended to me by another artist and previously I was just organising my images in the photos app in albums and folders. This is SO much better! Very happy I bought the app and will definitely be using it in split screen with Procreate, and full screen for my traditional work. My main feature request would be some kind of info screen with metadata and tagging for the images. Often I want to save an image from an artist, and would like to save the artist and/or website I’ve saved it from— doesn’t have to be automatic, happy to enter it manually! Not as something visible all the time, because the main ui is great! But when an image is selected, if one of the icons in the bottom corner was to bring up an info screen with the metadata (esp useful for photos I’ve taken), one or two editable fields for artist/source, and maybe optional tags that could be searchable from the main screen. This is also a frustration of mine with my previous set up with the photos app. Before that, I tried to use Evernote for my reference, but that was extremely unwieldy. Overall, this is a fantastic and well thought out app. It’s so nice to use something clearly made with artists in mind! I’ve already recommended it to other artist friends!.Version: 1.1.2
✓ What I’ve been searching forThis app is designed for one purpose, and it fulfills that purpose extremely well. Importing photos is a breeze, and the AUTO-PACK tool (!!!) is a lifesaver for anyone who’s spent way too much time trying to arrange refs into a neat grid in procreate or concepts. The only feature I’d like to request is a simple pen tool, so we can make notes on the “canvas” (sometimes we’re only interested in part of a reference photo, so it’d be helpful to circle it, jot down notes, etc.). Once you accumulate a lot of refs, it can be hard to remember why exactly you saved that one photo. And maybe a function to “attach” the note to the photo so it won’t get lost even if you move the photo (and maybe the auto pack takes the note into account when rearranging, to prevent overlap?). But even without all that, this app is phenomenal and has earned a permanent place in my digital toolset..Version: 1.1
✓ ADORE this, but no suggestion address = posting this.Love this app, especially as an art student enjoying apps like Procreate. The ability to organize and sort ideas, and to additionally crop/resize as needed, has been a massive help. Would really appreciate some additional features in the future though. Perhaps a text feature (maybe via the text being made an image, I can deal with retyping to remove errors if it means I can keep notes), and a ‘snap/magnetic’ mode would be awesome. It’d help me keep track of ideas, but snapping would be awesome just for the simple easy of moving things around cleanly. Thank you for making this!!.Version: 1.1.7
