This makes no sense whatsoever. I just want to trace a picture to look like a drawing. Help me please.
What an awesome app for artists

I’ve read about using the grid method in how-to-draw books. But I didn’t fully understand how to use them. I love this app and all the options that are in it. It’s easy to understand and use. Wow great app ?? thanks :)

Free app will not allow allow me to purchase app that lets me save. Possibly my iPad Pro is too old? Don’t know. Will keep limping along with this until I find a better app.
Ads cover drawing area, defeat entire purpose

With the free version, there are banner ads at the bottom of the screen but the image you are trying to trace also extends to the bottom of the screen so the ad banner literally covers it, and the app doesn’t allow you to scroll up without zooming in/out/slightly resizing which literally defeats the entire purpose. Please add scroll feature or move image to not be covered by ad banner.
Muy útil para aprendices y expertos

Tracing buddy is exactly the app I needed for when I am using Procreate to draw on my ipad. I find it a lot easier to have the image separate from the Procreate app, but I also like having a grid overlay to help with image proportions and perspective. Another thing I like about this app is the realistic pricing it offers, 2.99/year for a subscription or 4.99 for a lifetime unlock. I appreciate that it is not pricing me out of the pro option by being 2.99/week or something ridiculous like some other apps. Finally, my suggestions that would improve my user experience would be: 1. The ability to rotate the image in the same way you zoom in, so you’d pinch out to Zoom in and rotate your fingers to adjust the image. 2. The ability to have a number overlay for the grid with the option to start the 0 in different positions. As you could drag the 0 along the vertical and horizontal side to adjust where the numbering starts - with it snapping to the center points. 3. The ability to set the grid size based on a specific measurement (e.g., inches, millimeters, centimeters, pixels, and points) That’s what I have for now from spending about 30 minutes with the app!
So far I love it.

I have not known a grid app to have all of these features before! I just suggest making it a bit more user friendly after you get the grid the way you want it. I honestly don’t know what to do next or how to get the image in gray scale.
Great simple app. Was looking for a tracing light box.

Great simple app. Was looking for a tracing light box. This is perfect for what I was looking for, except I’d love a way to lock the screen in order to trace on top of the screen without the image adjust from finger tip brushes.
