WHAT MAKES THIS APP BETTER THAN OTHER DESIGN TOOLS ?
- Made with lots of LOVE by designers for designers!
- The iPad is not a PC. ProtoSketch wasn't adapted from a desktop app. It was created from the ground up exclusively for iPad. Our workflow is different - we have dedicated ALT, SHIFT and REPEAT buttons and all the commands relative to your selection appear as buttons on the bounding box. We call them shortcuts because they work as keyboard shortcuts on your PC.
-The app works beautifully with Apple Pencil you can draw, sketch and concept your ideas. But hey nothing will stop you from finishing your idea and polishing it to perfection. Proto has all the tools you need.
- AGILE, we are doing constant updates, enriching your experience and adding new features.
- HUGE ROADMAP, there is a lot of stuff ahead better vector tools, a mac app, prototyping, real-time collaboration and more...
- EXCELLENT Support, send us feedback on fb, tw and via email. We'd love to chat :)

Best app out there for vector sketching!
michael-in-beijing
There’s a bug or two with selecting colors, but otherwise they have pretty much nailed UI with respect to how I was to sketch on the iPad: tolerance is front and center, so details can be made with no auto smoothing, and long lines can be made with more smoothing. The virtual keys also mean I can work with expected shortcuts. I use it for sketching only though, not sure how it works for other things.
Great concept and good user interface but, %60 useless.

This app took on a revolutionary concept to bring vector based design to the iPad with an easy and intuitive interface. The other great thing about the app is the UI icons, assets library which is a very useful time saving tool for creating concepts and mock ups. Now for the bad news. This app has a horrible glitch that usually would be addressed if the developer did periodic updates but I haven’t had received an update in eons. The glitch affects that wonderful library of UI icons I was telling you about earlier. You pick an icon you want to use and it completely randomly chooses the icon you didn’t want. It’s not even predictable... it’s completely random. This completely destroys the ease in the learning curve and makes the experience a living nightmare. It’s a shame that I and others had to pay money to experience what you would only experience in purgatory. I’m not just saying this because I have some biased towards other apps or something along those lines. We all really thought we where getting %100 quality software but is more like %40 without the icon library. This is why I gave it 2 stars or %40 of the the max stars that can be given. Maybe I’ll change my opinion and review when the developer can restore my faith in the user experience. Till then I warn you that if you thought this was gonna be a complete adobe illustrator replacement, your gonna have to find the other %60 replacement elsewhere. Prior to this review I deleted the app an redownloaded it to see if that would solve the issue. It did not. In my opinion unless you have access to your own icon library (such as shutterstock) skip this app for the other alternatives.
App crashes on export

App crashes when exporting graphics besides that this is good app more suitable for IPAD devices
Great idea but too many bugs
jclozanoa
Once they fix all the many bugs it’s going to be a great App. Right now it’s hard to Sketch an idea. I love the icons but if you select one the App places a completely different one and so on.
Love but...
JamieChristmas
Please please please update! There has been the bug where clicking on icons doesn’t choose the icon you clicked on. This app is amazing and this is a huge problem that needs fixed.
Worst app ever
fyhtumnby
Don’t buy this app. Lots of bugs and developers are careless to update it. Just look at update history.
Bugs with Icons
Viailo
I would’ve given a 3 star review since I like this app and the only problem I’ve encountered is a bug when a user selects an icon it gives a completely different one. Scrolling through the reviews, it seems that this problem has been going on since August and still hasn’t been fixed, which is kind of disappointing. Other than that its a great idea for an app.
But on my iPhone 8 it’s what I use
Mandrio Ardetti
It makes very good use of space. I don’t have to dig around as much and keeps my work visible. Everything is right there and easy to understand, and very minimal use of those torturous panels to dig through. I’m glad I found it and appreciate the thoughtful interface design that makes sense.
I like it
REWOP TAC
Although can’t handle a lot of layers this app is Simple but powerful! Precise and with lots of hidden treasures. I think is tremendously helpful.
Typical ???
Janizzary
This is an app you pay for, but it falls into the typical category of crappy iPad vector drawing apps that don’t get fixed or updated by their developers.
