I really like how smooth the app works!! The only two features I wish it did have is the ability to search through your different folders to find your Refboards easier. The other feature that would be handy is the ability to possibly copy and paste easier when using the iPad by itself. Possibly dedicated buttons for copy and pasting. Amazing app otherwise.

I’ve used Visref for years, and don’t get me wrong it’s an amazing app for artists, however in recent years it has become extremely glitchy and development for it seems to have been halted for a long time, with no noticeable updates, even bug fixes, as far as I can remember since I got it. Imgref has basically taken the gripes I had with Visref and fixed them. Even as of only having installed the app for a couple days ago, I open the appstore to see that it has an update. The dev team seems active, and dedicated to their app and seems to be actually listening to users positives and criticisms and acting accordingly. So far it has handled my large boards for illustration references without crashing or bugs, and unlike Visref, hasn’t corrupted entire boards making them unusable. The app seems stable, well designed, and has features that take it a step further that other reference apps i’ve used. So far 5/5!
