This is amazing
Welll it’s hard b/c I want to do zoom in art for my friend but I couldn’t figure out how but now I know and I working on a master piece 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 this is sooooo much better than all the other drawing apps b/c every time I zooom in to do zoom in art when I draw all I can see is pixels uggg but not this this is perfect
Upgrade plan
Hi can i buy a one time plan with my apple id?
Great app but a problem I’m having
It doesn’t let me draw? When I tried making a line all it did was move the camera.
Very innovative - Could use one more feature
Super interesting software. I love the ability to develop a sketch spatially and 3-dimensionally on my ipad. It’s great for sketching out a space during a flight. I would love if these sketches could be exported in a 3d format with textures- that way I could collage some of my sketches into my 3d models and integrate the sketches into my workflow.
Great, but overpriced
While this app is amazing and is a great, innovative experience that transforms the way that you make art, it suffers from both paid plans being horribly overpriced, with it costing $49.99 for the creators edition that only gives you the ability to remove the watermark and publish a single scene to the web, which in my opinion, isn't close to being with that amount of money. The other paid plan gives a few other features like more publishing, training sessions, and priority support, but costs $59.99 a month. If the price for the creators plan cost $9.99 or less, I think the creators plan would be far more worth it, and attract more people to this software. The expensive price on this software is for sure a huge problem with this software that is otherwise phenomenal.
I love it
I Am learning to use this app more every day to great!
Way too expensive
This software is absolutely incredible, but considering how much adobe software that you can subscribe to for the price of this apps full access alone is a big thumbs down from me. I want to use this in my work regularly, and was about to make this my main drawing software until that I saw the subscription price. Super bummed. No single software subscription is worth that much per month.
Needs a feature where you can flip the direction of drawings.
This is a feature that NEEDS to be added. It would be so much better to correct the direction of something if you screw it up.
Drawing Function Isn’t Functioning
None of the brush tools are working, and upon reading other reviews it’s seems I’m not the only one with this issue.
I Paid. good - but lacking QoL
I paid for the creator version… Excellent and simply amazing, worth every penny!
Sadly… Mental Canvas BADLY needs quality of life updates - like yesterday. Their silence and lack of updates.. makes me hope this company is ok and not going through hard financial times.

QUALITY OF LIFE FEATURES (Keep us IN the flow)
I am understanding Mental Canvas is not competing with:
- Procreate
- Photoshop
- Affinity Photo
- or any of other deep artistic apps
I totally get it,
Mental Canvas has it’s own lane and tries to keep us within the territory of their tools for 3D planes and not wanting to boggle us with too many features. It’s a beautiful and unique lane.
But…
MENTAL CANVAS .. bhaaddlyy, needs the following quality of life features:
• Blur
• Liquify
• Mesh Warp
• Some Blend Modes
• Auto straight Lines and Auto Shape
By Mental Canvas lacking these basics I listed above…
Mental Canvas FORCES us to leave the app EVERY TIME we want to blur, or liquify, or do any of these **primitive** special effects listed above.
and so.. here is a typical Mental Canvas process:
1. leave MC app
2. open another app
3. Adjust make changes in other app
4. Export to photo gallery or icloud
5. come back to MC app
6. Import updates
Really Mental Canvas?
This is when Mental Canvas starts jumping into the **annoying zone** and totally ruining flows. I really hope you guys figure this out.
