User Reviews

Users praise the app for direct, on-device image tracing and its simple, relaxing workflow. However, repeated issues with crashes, saving progress, and tracing accuracy undermine the experience. Common requests include auto-save, more brushes, and better Apple Pencil/orientation support. Overall, it fills a niche for tracing on-device but needs stability and feature improvements to be reliably usable.

Pros

Allows tracing directly over images within the app on your device (no AR required).
Simple, straightforward and relaxing drawing/tracing experience.
Useful for tracing pictures for projects and saving/printing the traced outlines.

Cons

Frequent stability issues: random crashes/kicks-outs that interrupt work.
Saving problems: app sometimes refuses to save, or progress is lost after crashes; lack of auto-save.
Tracing accuracy/alignments often off: pencil/trace offset or mis-tracing hand position.
Other feature requests: auto-save, more brushes, better Apple Pencil support / orientation handling.

Recent reviews

This was the only app I could find that lets you actually trace over images on your device directly. Other apps I saw all were for augmented reality where you trace on real paper and use your camera with their app. But this app lets you trace on the app. And it works great.

This drawing app is relaxing and fun, but I see problems everywhere here. Kicking me out of the app randomly, refusing to save my hard work, glitching the move tool until the game shuts down… it’s awful! Luckily for the app, it’s the only app that can act TRACE THINGS, so a lot of people are forced to just get stuck using it.
