ArtRage

I am using ios 9.1 and artrage seems to be not compatible with it. It crashed when drawing and I sometimes even cant open. I figured out that it crashed when bluetooth is on.

In my opinion, the only one of its kind is procreate, but I also think your interface and layout is pretty amazing. It’s sad to see this at 3.4 when it should be 5.0 As many others have said, this app has so much potential to be so much greater than Procreate… Chin up my friend I gave you five stars and hopes that you will update this app, and make it great again, drawing apps need some competition to make iPad. The preferred tablet for artists.

Just a few weeks ago I was able to turn the picture with my fingers but now I have to turn my whole iPad but other than that it’s an amazing app!!

By far the most traditional art app I’ve found . The controls are intuitive , but I would love to see color assignments “stick” to a tool (such as graphite grey for pencil, while brushes keep the color I was using on them). Another “easy” feature that’s missing is the ability to have a pallete sampler to easily pick some base colors and paint away. Another feature would be allowing to mix pallet colors to blend new shades to bring it even more in line with traditional painting)

This would be a great app if they updated it. Crashes a lot and if you don't SAVE...it's gone. They basically rugged and left the app in limbo

So my mom made me download for no reason and it was very weird. So I tried to draw lines but it wouldn’t let me and I made sure it was at 100 opacity and I made sure it was black color but it wouldn’t draw. Also when I zoom in I can’t zoom out for some reason and it keeps crashing. Pls upgrade it has a lot of potential. Also add more tools/brushes.

There is another, older version of this app, that holds many drawings of mine. It doesn’t work with iOS 14. Can it be refurbished for the new OS, at least enough for me to export my old doodles? It doesn’t need more functionality than an “export all” button.

I've been an Artrage user since v1 on desktop Mac, way, waaay back. After reluctantly retiring my beloved Wacom in favour of the iPad ecosystem; Artrage was a natural purchase. Sadly, comparing it to its peers, what once was cutting edge media simulation feels quaint, like so much CG from the nineties; there are stunning apps out there doing incredible real media simulation. What Artrage pioneered with innovative user interface that delivered an accessible digital painting experience (in the face of behemoths like Corel Painter), also feel old fashioned and even clumsy, again compared to other apps. Some of the tools or code appear ill matched to retina display; brushes strokes and other tools produc visibly pixelated results; as though it would probably look right on an old 72ppi monitor. But the real insult added to injury is that literally three days after my purchase, this app is obsoleted when the developers released a whole new, separate Artrage for iOS, rather than update this one. How very unlucky for me, and very sad that I just cannot recommend this version. That's coming from a longtime fan 😭

Unfortunately, it seems the devs have abandoned this app, - no update in two years. The app Apple is pushing is better in some areas and still behind this old dog in other areas. I have been using this on my iPad for years. Having tried most of the competition this is still my favorite. Has features the app Apple is pushing still lacks.

I should have paid attention to the negative reviews. Instead I listened to a very experienced man who writes tutorials. He told me he thought the issues with the App were resolved by the design team. I bought the App, followed a tutorial and could not get the image to save properly. After trying unsuccessfully to save the image the App totally crashed. I sent emails to the developers twice and have heard nothing in response. Save your money, there are lots of other Apps out there.
