This is the app version of Pureref, but you need to pay 4$ to unlock the full version without limitations. It still lacks some features, but I've seen that the dev plans to add more, I love this app !🫡

Honestly, this app is pretty good so far. I have no huge complaints aside from the app crashing every time you go over 50 range (like 60_70) images.

Constant push for buying pro, however still a good app. The pro version is good aswell, just wished this app could be free with just ads. Buying pro for 2.99 wasn't worth it, especially for an image board!

I really love this app. It's the only app I found where you can organize and view multiple reference images at once. A real help for serious artists. Now I just need to figure out how to get paid for my work. Lol

this is the only app thats solely for references in the playstore. And its kinda sad that there are no alternatives! bought the pro and i gotta say, it was so worth it. i hope this gets updated in the future, im waiting for some sweet features that might come in the next year or so!

This app got a potential. Just need that arrange feature and it's all set. Will definitely buy when the arrange feature is added!

4.5 Stars. Great ref app. I use it frequently on my tablet for references for my art, there are some features that are missing that I hope come in new updates such as undo, redo, folder sorting for boards etc.

I love this app and use it heavily. It's drastically improved my work by making references and inspiration easily available. Be aware that it can get a bit glitchy when you have too many pics in a single file, probably in part because they seem to be full resolution.

This is the by far best alternative for pureref in Android. Some features are not working properly, saying that app is still in development. Hopefully this app gets better and if it's free then it's really helpful for lot of people.

gif imports crash app edit: I have tried other gif formats as well as learning how to compress gif and webm formats using FFMPEG... still doesnt work. This isnt mentioning that most of the features are "still not available", even when upgrading to premium. Which is rather dissapointing considering this app looks very similar to the open source pc app "PureRef" just with half as many features and requiring payment for more that still havent been added.
