Unusable - gets real slow real fast

larryw09

This app works fine if you have like 3 shapes and 3 layers. But once you add any meaningful amount of content it's unusably slow. And I'm not even talking about a gargantuan project, just a modestly-sized one. For example you pinch to zoom and then you're staring at the screen for 20 seconds while it gets to your zoom level. And this is on the iPad Pro, the fastest iPad ever made. I waited to make this review because maybe they would release an update to fix the slowness, but it's been over half a year without an update. Since their last update there have been several new iPad models in the market, including 2 new iPad Pro's. I wouldn't use this for any serious project, and don't see where all the hype is coming from.

Beautiful

Pixelpusher636

Hands down the most beautifully designed vector app I've come across. Believe me when I say I've used a lot of them. In the past The best I've found have been designed in a utilitarian fashion. Not so much here. BEAUTIFUL. Sure, it has a few issues all have. Does Not seem to play well (at all) with the "open in" or "open with" extensions. Worth the $8.99

Beautiful and buggy

WildBillWillie

One of the best featured well thought out vector drawing and design tool. However, buggy. *Close gap on pencil tool disable does not work. *Hitting undo button too quickly crashes app every time. At least the designers seem to have put in robust autosave and recovery algorithms, so it's just a frustration. *Brush tool leaves gap artifacts on tight loops and bends. This alone is almost a deal breaker since there is much work into finding workarounds. It appears that at these points, the line width is forgotten on one line when two thick lines come in contact on tight loops. It will leave an open space artifact at the center of the tight curve. *Developer needs to speed up the code because as you add objects and layers program becomes sluggish. And this is only what I found having purchased and started playing with the app for only 10 minutes! All that said, I'm sticking with it and investing my time and energy and money, because it appears the developer is committed to making this the best iOS vector software on the market and is publishing quick releases with new features and fixes! 5 stars when some of these bugs are stomped! Developer needs to do better debug before release. IOS 9.2.X on iPad Pro 128 Gig

One of the best apps for drawing in vector.

This is my preferred app for drawing in vector. It works brilliantly with the stylus and translates to vector the way I would want the points to be.

Too many bugs

I really want to like this app. It seems like it could be useful for illustrating. However, the shapes library doesn't work properly. Tapping or dragging a shape out puts a totally different shape on the canvas than the one I'm trying to put down. Not even one nearby the shape I want in the library. Also, the app crashes way too often. I'll wait and try this app after a few more updates.

Can’t use this app

I can’t use this app at all, it’s not user friendly. Needs a lot of work, can I get a refund

Half Baked and Buggy

Chief BowWow

There are many other vector programs out there that do more with a much better intuitive workflow. This lacks some very basic features apart from being extremely buggy. This app has potential, but is half-baked at the moment, so save yourself some $s and don’t fall for the “best app” comments / reviews. This isn’t for a serious designer.

Ignore the haterz

This app has benefited every aspect of my creative process. The only issues I ever had with it were due to the fact that I was running it on a now no longer supported iPad mini. I’m using a newer model and rarely have issues with it only as exporting. Even with those minuscule export issues I’m unaware of any other app that exports designs as svg’s so flawlessly. From quick and dirty last second edits to building the elements of my new website in. Protosketch is a phenomenal Swiss Army knife. I have all but given up looking for a replacement. I’m operating under the assumption any bugs proto has is due to the sheer scope of their roadmap and goals as an available on all platforms design suite. The only notes I have are a feature request which is as follows. Importing from cloud services like google drive is a bit frustrating and any focus put to improving it would only be a boon to my workflow.

Has potential

I really want this app to work for me for website prototyping, but there just seem to be a lot of basic features missing such as being able to mask images or having things align to the center of the document or to the centers of surrounding shapes.
