Amadine: Vector Design and Art

The app is great and it was easier to pick up even I am new to vector. Unfortunately it won’t let me save any images I made unless I pay so 3 stars. But it could have been 4 stars if I know about this in advance, maybe show at the beginning of the app. Just feel disappointed because I worked on a design for one hour and only after that I know I can not use it.

Just missing actual brushes. I really hope this is a planned update in the future, so I can give it the five stars this app deserves. I like this app on iPad the most because it’s so clean and user-friendly.

I was using Graphic by Picta and they stopped updating years ago. Now Amadine saves the day with ease of use, powerful features, and a recolor feature that is absolutely amazing. My app of choice now!

User-friendly interface, shape builder tool, text along the curve, shapes library, variable stroke width and handy width tool for in-place stroke width editing, recolor panel etc. That's impressive!

I created a new file and made an illustration. I went back to my file only to see it being reverted to when I first created the file. I lost hours of work. It is frustrating. The only reason I was using this app was for the width tool which is absent in many vector apps. But now I am scared to use it.

(Hopefully my other, more important review is still here, but there are a few other things I wanted to point out). ………………. The “customizable, professional vector brushes” they’re listing, are ovals. That’s it. You can change the width, angle, and size. ………………. Cont re. UI for node editing. Given the many gestures available, and some context dependant, I expected there would be a gesture to add nodes while in the pointer, but nope. For some reason you can add layers of fill, stroke and effects to a shape, but you can’t delete them, only hide. ………………. No ability to tweak your pressure curve, but the lines turn out well, I just have a light hand so everything is extra thin. ………………. here is no smoothing tool, there is a simplify setting, but very little control over how it will be applied, and I’ve had mixed results with it. Have to apply it the entire shape instead of targeting segments. You can warp, rotate individual nodes - but only on the canvas! The menu option insists on altering the whole shape. Not a big deal, just odd. There is at least one symbol that is used to mean two different things, so I keep hitting the wrong one. ………………. No symbols functionality. ………………. No ability to save in a more cross-compatible format (often used for stock art, can’t remember what it’s called). Gradients are saved oddly - the centres may move dramatically when imported, but the color progression will remain - so far seems to happen to about half the gradients? I’ve only done one project using it so far. ………………. BUGS GALORE! Problems with line rendering, both holes in odd places, and extra lines that can’t be removed. It would be reasonably fixable, if annoying, if the boolian “and” operation wasn’t also buggy. Sometimes it adds, sometimes it intersects! Occasionally nodes will just…. Not accept edits. ………………. If this was a beta, I’d say it’s amazing, but the problems with critical UI segments, and plethora of bugs make it frustrating to use beyond drafting out a design. I’d still recommend downloading it, but only using it to bounce vectors in and out of for the warp feature, and if painting initial line work.

It’s full featured app with great UX. It feels buttery smooth and surprised it’s free 😱!

it is good and with this app u don’t need turn on your pc. because u can do your vector jobs in this app but it’s not completely. it can be better and i know this team trying to publish best app.

I’ve tried a bunch of vector apps and this is the best - Love the width tool. The usual keyboard short cuts work which is a bonus. Small wishlist: quick toggle stroke/fill, rotate canvas, and ability to edit width profiles

Amadine has very rapidly become my favourite vector app to work with. I love the streamlined interface, fantastic tools, and ease of use. I can spend more time designing and being an artist instead of trying to figure out the over inflated lists, menus, and fluff of some of my other apps. On top of all of that the developers are very responsive to their users’ requests and feedback. This app is rapidly growing and improving all the time. The developers also have a very nice desktop publishing app on Mac. Hope they’ll consider bringing that to the iPad in the future. Keep up the good work!
