## Description

AR Mini Sketch is an AR-based painting trace tool that lets you project a photo onto paper for tracing. Start by selecting an image, crop the area you want to transfer, and the app will render it on a detected plane on the paper. You can drag, rotate, and resize to align perfectly, with a lock option to stabilize while tracing.

Note: for best results, place a flat paper on a table and hold the iPhone steady; if the image jitters, press the lock button in the left-bottom corner to stabilize.

## Review summary

AR Mini Sketch is praised for easy tracing and clear image display, which users find useful for beginners. However, the app suffers from recurring stability and alignment problems: the projected image drifts, won’t lock, and can’t reliably detect the drawing surface, making tracing inaccurate. Visibility and focus issues further hinder use, and setup/positioning can be time-consuming. These stability and surface-detection issues are the most mentioned drawbacks across reviews.

### Pros

- Easy to trace images (good for quick practice)
- Image is displayed clearly/beautifully for tracing
- Useful and fun for beginners to practice tracing

### Cons

- Projected image drifts or shakes and won’t stay in place, even when trying to lock it
- Difficulty aligning with the drawing surface; app often can’t detect paper/canvas or properly align
- Visibility or focus issues making the image hard to see
- Setup/positioning can be time-consuming to use effectively
