User Reviews

ArtPose is a powerful reference tool with strong pose variety, multi-angle viewing, and helpful lighting that artists praise for improving accuracy and speeding work, especially on iPad Pro with Procreate. However, reviews repeatedly note key drawbacks: limited body types and facial options, restricted gender representation, an onboarding/UX learning curve, and iPad-specific limitations like no split-screen multitasking. Users also seek missing features such as skeleton rigs, multiple characters, props, background removal, and export options. Overall, it's valuable but has significant customization and workflow gaps.
Pros
  • Extensive pose library with the ability to rotate around the figure for accurate anatomy from multiple angles.
  • Realistic lighting and shading options that help study form and foreshortening.
  • Very useful and time-saving reference tool that artists can rely on for drafting and practice.
  • Works well with Procreate and other drawing workflows on iPad Pro; portable and convenient.
  • Good value and bundle options that many users consider essential for full functionality.
Cons
  • Limited body shapes and facial options; can't adjust body fat, expressions, hairstyles, or diversify body types.
  • UI/UX and workflow limitations, including awkward pose/camera controls and a noticeable learning curve.
  • iPad Pro-specific issues and lack of split-screen/multi-tasking support, plus occasional performance/UI blocking by device features.
  • Missing features and requests such as skeleton rig, multiple characters, props/accessories, background removal, and export options (OBJ).
  • Limited gender representation and variety in models, with few hairstyle options and inconsistent preloaded poses.

Very limited body shapes wanted more diverse options it’d be nice to be able to adjust the body parts separately like longer legs or big feet but it has very limited adjustment
