## Description

Da Vinci Eye is an AR drawing app that lets you project photos or sketches onto a canvas, using AR mode or a classic projector to keep alignment as you draw. It offers color-value layer breakdown, micro-detail zoom, time-lapse recording, and built-in lessons to help you learn shading and proportions.

Share your artwork with a supportive community, discover inspiration from others, and use filters, tutorials, and a patent-pending learning method that turns any photo into a step-by-step drawing lesson. AR mode requires an A10x/A11+ device (iPhone 8+ or newer, iPad Mini 5th Gen+ and newer).

## Review summary

Da Vinci Eye is a powerful time-saver that helps with accuracy and proportions across media and is beginner-friendly. However, recurring concerns center on the pricing model and access to features—especially the need for a subscription to use personal photos—and cross-platform licensing, which has left some users feeling misled about its free status.

### Pros

- Time-saving and faster outlines that help you focus on technique.
- Improves accuracy and proportions/likeness, aiding practice and double-checking sketches.
- Versatile across media and surfaces—works with graphite, ink, watercolor, etc., and can trace onto different surfaces.
- Beginner-friendly and confidence-boosting, making sketching easier for newcomers.

### Cons

- Pricing model with a seven-day free trial followed by $29/year subscription; perceived as not free and unclear upfront.
- Requires a subscription to use your own photos (and other basic features), limiting what you can do without paying.
- Cross-platform licensing frustrations—users report paying for the app on one platform and then needing another subscription on another platform or paying again for similar features.
- Some users feel marketing misrepresents the app as free or free-to-try before charging.
