User Reviews

Reviewers largely praise VizRef Lite for its simplicity and usefulness for organizing reference boards, plus artist-focused features and Procreate compatibility. Common drawbacks include lack of cloud syncing across devices, absence of multi-select for batch edits, occasional crashes/export problems, and limited iPad multitasking/split-view compatibility.
Pros
  • Easy to use and intuitive.
  • Great for organizing reference boards; keeps all images in one place.
  • Strong fit for artists and Procreate users; works well on iPhone and iPad as a companion tool.
  • Built-in image tools and media support (crop, grayscale filter, GIFs with pause/play).
Cons
  • No cross-device syncing or cloud syncing; iCloud sync support is requested.
  • Missing multi-select to move multiple images at once, slowing workflow.
  • Reliability issues including crashes and export problems/freezes.
  • Split-view/multitasking compatibility issues on iPad.

would update to 5 stars if I could put my boards into folders. love the app but I make a lot of boards and it's really annoying to have to scroll through them to find one. original quality exports would also be great

I feel broken by this app

The description mentions importing via iCloud, but that apparently that just means being able to add things from there via the file browser. Was under the impression everything would carry over from my iPad and honestly wouldn’t have purchased this version if I’d known.
