iPocket Draw

This is a great drafting program to make great scaled drawings. The instructions are OK but if you keep playing with it you can find the function you are looking for. It is good for someone that has previous CAD experience, it is difficult for someone with no experience. If are looking for an iPad CAD program and you have previous CAD experience, like to make accurate 2D drawings on the go and you are crafty and persistent then THIS PROGRAM IS FOR YOU. Highly recommend it.

This app has a steep learning curve, but once you spend time with it you find how great the functionality is. For example, grabbing objects a specific way allows you to snap them in alignment against other objects and using the dimension labeling tool is super handy but unique in the way it works. If you need to draw a project to scale, this is an excellent app. In fact, I now consider this one of the top 10 best apps for serious computing on the iPad Pro and using the Apple Pencil 2. The price point is another factor that swayed me in this direction as a competitive offering had a horrible subscription model which this one thankfully avoids.

It's not your usual iOS app interface. You have to take the time to poke around in the settings and read the help files. Once you do, you'll find that this app is an outstanding drawing / drafting app. I'm using it for everything that requires drawing or illustration and it gets the job done. The developers have a comprehensive user manual on their website. Download it! You get out of it what you put in to it. Invest the time to learn the interface and you won't be disappointed.

It's exactly what I was looking for and intuitive to use. I wanted to be able to grab images of charts online and import into a program where I can draw support lines and also duplicate lines I drew. This works. I have only done this little bit with it but it's what I needed.

HowieRoark, All informations to contact me are in the About screen (button i). You have my e-mail and a link to a forum where you can ask questions on iPocket Draw and RealCADD. Before writing your review, you don’t have made many search to find me. Send an email to me to explain what happened, please. But I don’t have had other user with this kind of problem. Thanks. Eric

Now, all of the drawing tools produce screen wide dark regions, then images vanish. Completely broken! If the developer provided contact information within the app or on the website, I'd be letting him know directly instead of submitting this review. And this has always been the problem with iPocket Draw - the developer is very "hands off" when it comes to support, instructions, and the like - a man of few words. With adequate support & procedural instructions, this could be the best vector drawing app in the App Store (after this latest bug is fixed, of course)!

It's not a cheap apps and using It feels like the basic Autocad in terms of basic drawing tools and what these tools does. My wish lists would be to improve on champering, increased accuracy in snaps to mid, end, intersections. Saving it to other formats (jpg etc.) should allow compression in aspect ratio to give the right proportion once it's re written to other formats. This app is quite powerful for iPad and I hope you can add more functions to the menu similar to technical drawings or designs. Please keep it up.

Entire day of work lost due to file saving/opening BUG... PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE... What was a welcome and enjoyable app experience, instantly became an empty white screen that crashes the application with any attempt to move the work area... Complete loss of confidence in this app, and a $12 evening of frustration, take my money, buy a pizza, hunker down and fix it ;(

I wanted to use the chamfer tool but, it was not clear how to. I looked under "help" and in the manual and it was not clear. I haven't figured out an easy way to research your "How To's" intuitively, which makes using the app laborious. If I can get pass this bottle-neck, I would rate this app - 5 stars.

I tried a couple other drawing apps before purchasing iPocket Draw. This was by far the best that I tried. For the price, this app is pretty amazing. It has all of the functionality needed for nearly all drawings that you would want to do on an iPad. While there are a couple quirky things yet in this app, it is easy to learn to use with a basic knowledge of drafting and CAD. The instructions are very minimal, a users forum with some helpful info. A detailed user manual would be a great addition. The more I use it, the more efficient I get and I am continually finding capabilities that I was unaware of. I am looking forward to future updates and even more capabilities. Don't expect this app to compete with a $100K CAD station, but for the price, I don't think you can beat it. I was pleasantly surprised with how good it is for the money.
