Impressive AR and Very Fun! – LightSpace - 3D painting in AR Review

I thought this app was just a very fun idea! The combination of Augmented Reality and Digital Art really caught my attention. The icon you utilize is a little rocket ship blasting off to space, which I thought was very cute! Also, because your app is called Light ”space” the design fits pretty well with the idea and purpose of your app. Plus, the rocket is outlined or drawn with the 3D lights in your app, which shows what the app is about. Once I open the app, I like that the loading screen is the same to the icon! The only thing added to the loading screen that is not on the icon is Light Space written out with the 3D lights and a little fox at the bottom middle, which I assume is the company logo. Makes it look pleasing to look at when I click the icon and it expands full screen to the full picture. Your description about the app was short compared to some other apps, but it was very straightforward and the little previews really made it look fun and interesting. You mentioned everything that the app provides and it made me want to download it, so that is why I am writing this review after using it for a few days. It is very user friendly because it is such a simple layout and easy to navigate! All the brush/colors are at the bottom of the screen as well as the record button. In the app store, the target audience says 4+ and I think it is appropriate since you are just mainly drawing and any child around that age would love to just run around and draw “onto” the real world. Maybe this app could prevent children from drawing on the walls of the house. Also, the app seems to target more of the social media users/influencers as well as artists. They could record what they had created and it will make a great content for them to share! I thought the most innovative part about this app is the ability to walk through my drawings! It is amazing how the app could tell the depth perception. The closes drawing will disappear from the screen if I keep walking and the ones I drew a bit further will still be seen. Whenever I return back to the same angle and area, everything is still there until I want to clear it with the little trashcan! However, the drawings does get a little glitched out from time to time, which can be a problem when users want it still to record. Hopefully this could be improved somehow so the drawing does not move so much or just fly away somewhere on the screen. Next, I had no problems with the recording, but it did crash on me a few times after stopping it. It did not happen to often, but I just wanted to let you know so you could see if there is any bug for the problem to be fix. I really like that it was a free download, so anyone with an iPhone or iPad could have access to it without having to pay for it. However, the bad thing about it is that I could not use all the brushes. The app only provided three free brushes from each of the categories and that was it. I would have to pay $2.99 to have access to everything, which was a bit disappointing. The pricing does seem a bit much for the amount of brushes you will receive and there is not that many range of colors either. However, I think a better way to improve the app is to allow the users to have access to all the default brushes/colors that are currently on the app and have them pay for the special brushes that can be added into the app later in updates. That way, users will have a lot more color options, would want to use it longer and even buy more of the brushes when new ones are updated into the app. Also, I think you should allow the users to try out the locked brushes with a time limit and hide the record button away so they could see how it looks like when drawn. Another option is to allow the user to choose the color, let them draw whatever they want in one stroke and once the user release his or her finger from the screen, the drawing disappears. This could help convince users to buy the brushes because they could like what they see and want to buy it. In the end, I enjoyed using the app and I hope the recommendations will help with making this even better in the near future because it has the possibility of going far!
