I’ve used this kind of equipment years ago, but it was the size of a phone booth (if you know what that is). Haha. You do need some sort of tripod or bracket to use this but how else would you? I just transferred a sketch from a notebook to paper with it and it worked great. The app styling is very “early iPhone” and I’d like to see it updated but it works well and has been maintained. The in app purchase sounds helpful. I found the controls under the camera icon. You have to print out a paper for the camera to register its perspective. I admit I bought this one because the other apps were expensive subscriptions. 👍🏻 I’m not disappointed at all.

Thank you Pete for what looks like, in my observation of this app, to be something that will bring me tons of pleasure to my already artistic journey.

The title says it all. Don’t be fooled by the imitators out there. This is the OG app and it has made my art easier to make and better than I could do without it.

I have found this to be a FANTASTIC tool for my pencil drawings. I can get precise perspectives and placement of eyes and detail that can make or break a piece of art. I’m a BIG detail artist and find that this has been so helpful to me. I have used an opaque projector for years but this app has almost made that piece of equipment obsolete and has sure taken preparation steps away. No more printing a photo to use…just download and go! Its AWESOME!!

I have used this app for a number of year and it has always worked to get me exactly what I needed to complete my projects. Please don’t change a thing!!

Removing multi camera function is a huge loss for me. Hope multi camera function will be available in future updates, thanks!
