I appreciate your response time and for listening to your users. Update: I take back my compliment that I gave about staying true to the one time purchase. Just updated my app and imagine my frustration that there’s an option to pay $19.99 to upgrade to the pro version. If you want more than 3 boards, you’ll have to upgrade. Even though you purchase the app in order to be able to download. Irritation is an understatement. ——- Loving the app so far! I love the clean and simple interface. But I would love to have the options to remove backgrounds and crop images in app. Also, having folders and/or categories to visually separate the boards would be wonderful. And thank you for staying true to the one time payment! -- xultraviolencexx, 2026-08-26 ### ***** "It’s great" The update was rocky, I had to uninstall and reinstall the app to get my pro to come over from legacy, it works now. The update is very nice and it works much better than before with drag and drop. It gets closer and closer to my needs every update -- Laura Bythatagari, 2026-08-25 ### ****- "Buggy" Kinda buggy when drawing and or zooming in. Have to close app to fix bug -- IWeepForTheDeparted, 2026-07-09 ### ***** "Feels nice like PureRef" I like the ui, its intuitive and simple and making it as a widget is a lot of fun, opening my phone to the ideas I have on board. I do wish and hope theres a Locking button for images to stay in place because they often move around unintentionally when navigating around the canvas with my fingers. -- KwemD4c, 2026-06-10 [View all Reference Board reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Reference Board Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Japan | Graphics Design | #10 | | Top Paid | Dominican Republic | Graphics Design | #18 | | Top Paid | Egypt | Graphics Design | #23 | | Top Paid | Greece | Graphics Design | #43 | | Top Paid | Colombia | Graphics Design | #56 | | Top Paid | Thailand | Graphics Design | #58 | | Top Paid | Portugal | Graphics Design | #63 | | Top Paid | Romania | Graphics Design | #68 | | Top Paid | Indonesia | Graphics Design | #68 | | Top Paid | Sweden | Graphics Design | #83 | | Top Paid | Israel | Graphics Design | #87 | | Top Paid | Poland | Graphics Design | #91 | | Top Paid | India | Graphics Design | #91 | | Top Paid | Philippines | Graphics Design | #94 | | Top Paid | South Korea | Graphics Design | #102 | | Top Paid | Belgium | Graphics Design | #110 | | Top Paid | Netherlands | Graphics Design | #112 | | Top Paid | Germany | Graphics Design | #112 | | Top Paid | Türkiye | Graphics Design | #118 | | Top Paid | Italy | Graphics Design | #125 | | Top Paid | United Kingdom | Graphics Design | #133 | | Top Paid | Spain | Graphics Design | #137 | | Top Paid | China | Graphics Design | #151 | | Top Paid | Canada | Graphics Design | #152 | | Top Paid | Australia | Graphics Design | #166 | | Top Paid | United States | Graphics Design | #167 | ## Reference Board Discovered Keywords - reference board ## Reference Board Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/reference-board-mood-board-BZmz/united-states) - [Sri Lanka](https://apptail.io/app/reference-board-mood-board-BZmz/sri-lanka) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/reference-board-mood-board-BZmz/germany) - [Grenada](https://apptail.io/app/reference-board-mood-board-BZmz/grenada) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/reference-board-mood-board-BZmz/greece) - [Indonesia](https://apptail.io/app/reference-board-mood-board-BZmz/indonesia) - [Iceland](https://apptail.io/app/reference-board-mood-board-BZmz/iceland) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/reference-board-mood-board-BZmz/japan) - [North Macedonia](https://apptail.io/app/reference-board-mood-board-BZmz/north-macedonia) - [Senegal](https://apptail.io/app/reference-board-mood-board-BZmz/senegal) - [Uganda](https://apptail.io/app/reference-board-mood-board-BZmz/uganda) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/reference-board-mood-board-BZmz/canada) - [Uzbekistan](https://apptail.io/app/reference-board-mood-board-BZmz/uzbekistan) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/reference-board-mood-board-BZmz/colombia) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
