## Inkpad Libre Description
The open-source vector graphics app is back! Inkpad allows you to draw vector illustrations on the iPad, with scaleable and editable components that include paths, text, images, gradients, and layers. You can access your drawings from anywhere on your iPad or iCloud Drive, and you can export your drawings as SVG, PDF or PNG.

This is a revival of the open-source Inkpad app by Steven Sprang, which lived on the App Store several years ago, and brings it up to date for modern devices and iPadOS versions. Like Steven's original app, the source code is freely available under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 at  where you are welcome to contribute or suggest improvements.

Features include:
- A pen tool for drawing paths and bezier curves;
- Compound paths, masks and groups;
- Text objects, with the ability to import your own fonts;
- Gradient fills and arbitrary dash patterns in strokes;
- Layers and grids;
- Import photos or SVG graphics;
- Export drawings in several vector and bitmap formats.

There have been several spinoffs from Steven's original Inkpad over the years. What makes this app different? It follows Steven's intention for a community project: the source code remains free for you to view, modify and contribute to (under the terms of the Mozilla Public License 2.0), and of course the app remains free for you to use.

Enjoy!

## Inkpad Libre Reviews in United States

### ***-- "Too hard to figure out"
When scissors don’t cut and an eraser adds lines, it’s too confusing for me. I appreciate that it’s free, so 3 stars instead of one.
-- naked919, 2024-12-06

### ****- "“Fixing” the menu bug."
To have the menus consistently show all options, one must enable “Reduce Motion” as a Per-App Accessibility option for Inkpad.

I believe there is broken menu code when they play their intro/outro animation.
While the menu isn’t as flashy, it’s at least functional now.

Hopefully the dev will return to fix this bug and maybe add a dark mode theme?

Anyway, thanks for reviving this app!

### **--- "Exporting"
I thought i found the best app for vectors and a lot of options to edit text. There are some really great exporting options.  When you edit anything your exporting options goes to two options. Save photo and print. If that isn't fixed, the app will be useless.
-- Burns5, 2024-07-10

### **--- "Menus don’t work right"
After drawing for a few minutes the edit, arrange, and path menus stop working. I can click on them but it only shows the top two menu options not the full list.
-- Neil Steininger, 2024-07-06

### *---- "Menus stop working right after first click"
As many have mentioned already, but I was hoping had been fixed by now, when I click on any of the menus (like "path) the first times, lots of options come up. But if I try to access them again, most of the options are missing (not greyed out, just completely gone.) Definitely an app breaking bug for me. Guess I’ll have to keep searching for a vector app to use in my classroom (I teach kids camps at a non-profit).
-- WinterDuchess, 2024-06-08

### ***** "Works great on iOS 17.4"
Whatever menu bug reviewers were complaining about in iOS 17.0 seems to be fixed in iOS 17.4, as the app works flawlessly.

And it collects no user data!

Thank you—awesome app!!
-- Púca, 2024-04-30

### *---- "Don’t update to iPadOS 17, Abandoned"
Great app, broken since iPadOS update 17 and abandoned. Don’t update to 17 if u still use this. The menus for edit, arrange and path no longer function. No updates forthcoming as there is no response on GitHub either. Very sad day…
-- N0th4nks1, 2024-03-06

### *---- "Sadly I can’t use this anymore and I really want too!"
The menu bug issue as mentioned by two other users…PLEASE FIX IT! Please respond….I used this everyday before but it is just not useable anymore…has not been for months now….after making one change to the art the menu items all disappear (but for two) until you close the art down and then re-open it again….all menu items are back….until you make one change again and they all go missing again! HELP!
-- Fanimation, 2024-02-23

### *---- "Currently Broken"
Unfortunately, menus seem bugged to only work once. I’d hapilly give a positive score if this ever gets fixed, but as of right now, it seems abandoned with a bug this serious existing for months. Such is the fate of libre software. :/
-- MooMew64, 2024-02-14

### **--- "Good, but broken"
This is the standard traditional Inkpad - type drawing apps, and mostly it works just fine for that. Unlike the other Inkpad, it works properly with the local Files .

Sadly, it has acquired a troublesome bug: menus work one time and then they lose all but two non-useful menu items. If you do any, say, repetitive duplication or align objects more than one time, well, you are out of luck.

I will up my rating if the developer notices and can fix the problem.
