## Review summary

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.
