Why is Mural Maker better than a Projector and Grids?
Mural Maker offers several advantages over traditional art projectors and time-consuming grids/doodle grids. Unlike projectors, which can be bulky and require a dark room and a power cord, Mural Maker functions perfectly well outdoors, in bright daylight, away from power outlets, and doesn't even need Wi-Fi. Plus, the app allows artists to accurately compare colors and shades on their canvas to the reference image, making it easier to create more precise and accurate artwork... something that no grid or projector will ever be able to do.
In addition to simply tracing, Mural Maker offers a suite of tools and features such as...
Breakdown Mode
Enables artists to break down their image into stencils by color value. Artists can then print out a color palette, allowing them to mix their paints to the exact colors they need before they begin. The app then shows artists where to paint each color with augmented reality stencils.
Multiplayer mode
Multiple people can paint at the same time as the camera device can stream to multiple drawing devices. This makes it a perfect tool for group projects, workshops, and community mural painting events.
AR Tracking
Artists can get back to work in seconds instead of trying to re-align their overlay image back with their work. Mural Maker remembers their project's exact position, making it super easy for artists to work on their mural over multiple days.
Second Set of Eyes
Mural Maker is also your second set of eyes for any project. It allows artists to stand up close next to their giant artwork while simultaneously letting them look at it from far away.

Too laggy
Tried it and followed instructions to the tee.
Even when right next to each other on low res this lags too much.
They say they have Insanely good support but I emailed and heard nothing back.
Sub cancelled. Shame as good idea but either the tech isn’t ready or something fundamentally wrong with the apps.
Glitchy
Really great idea and wanted it to work but don’t waste your time, it’s too glitchy and laggy.
Tried it twice
I really wanted this app to work for me but it is a waste of time until they implement the big upgrade they’re mentioning. As it is, the app is a bit amateur, as it’s really easy to lose where you were working and have to start again. I can deal with the slightly slow or laggy response and lack of detail, but completely losing the precise projection is too much.
Subscription
Why don’t you do a one off lifetime payment?
Good idea, not well executed
I’m short, don’t waste your time. I was 30 minutes into a complex drawing outline and the app crashed multiple times, luckily the photo was in the same spot when I re loaded, (You have to pay to have this feature though, the free one only gives you 10 minutes) Then mid way through (this was when I eventually gave up) I noticed the image (despite being locked) had moved. Because of the design having no ‘back’ button, this meant it was near impossible to move the image back to the exact same spot. Glad I only got the free trail. To note it is also a very slow process to draw from looking at the projected image on your tablet, versus drawing whilst looking at the canvas. Far easier to use a digital projector (cheaper than the apps yearly subscription fee) or other more traditional methods!
Great tool
This app is such a useful tool for murals but also with learning to draw. Only thing is there can be a bit a lag sometimes but I’m unsure whether this is the app or one of the devices I’m using
Rubbish
You only get 10 minutes to draw before you get locked out and the told you have to upgrade to the pro version. Moronic idea because by the time you set your drawing up, 5 minutes have elapsed leaving you only 5minutes to draw making it a waste of your time. It does offer a one week free trial, but the features are so limited it made me wonder why they charge a £4.99 per month fee to access it. The feature list is very poor making the monthly fee questionable to say the least.
In the limited time I used it, it nagged and popped up, frequently dropped connection with the other device it still keeps counting down.
When you consider camera lucida is a one time payment and you can do big drawings using a workaround, it saves you a £4.99 fee.
Very poor
