Best Painting App for iPad

I have been using Inspire Pro for years since the iPad 2 and it has become better and better each year with regular updates. Every time I upgrade to a new iPad the first app I try is always Inspire Pro and I’m impressed each time at how faster and smoother it is on my new toy. Currently I’m using it on the latest iPad Pro and it’s 👌🏼👌🏼 The bushes are top-notch, but I’d love to see some new ones soon. Truly the best painting app for iPad Pro, there are no sketchy subscription fees or ads and the developers have committed to this over the years. Thank you ❣️

Love it!

I am not an artist… but I love to draw, color, and create. this app has more than I could need for my skill level.I would like to see more sample art of all types to be able to watch and learn techniques. I’ve copied some of the sample art/videos and watched them over and over to get some practice. It would be so cool if you could get some of the fantastic artists that are featured to demonstrate some of the tools and configurations they used to create the featured work.Can’t wait to see what the future of Inspire Pro will bring!!!

Crashes

I’ve had Pro on my phone for years with no issues whatsoever.. Finally got an iPad- the 12.9 pro with the m1 chip. The app crashes at the first sign of hard work. Or if you accidentally have more than two fingers touching the screen at once with the Apple Pencil in the mix. Unusable because if you don’t back out and save manually every few minutes the crash reverts back to the last auto save which there is no way to know when that is. And you lose your work. The play back feature will even show the work being reverted, but you can’t ‘redo’ to get back to where you were or undo to before it was reverted again. This issue is glaring and needs to be addressed. The app doesn’t even know it’s crashing so doesn’t request to send reports of the crash to dev’s.

A go-to app👍

Was always able to walk away from the digital art thing, it was always too jarring a difference from convention. This was the first app I tried that blurred the line enough to feel seamless.There’s no lag, and it’s more fluid than the other big apps. Coupled with the Apple Pencil, it’s a very realistic experience. The interface is minimalist and welcomed by me having tried way too many apps that feel like operating the hadron collider.Most of the screen is free to create, and making changes is simple and intuitive. The dry brush is pretty incredible, and lifelike. Quick and easy to jump in, pick up or leave off...it makes for a very pleasant use of time. I occasionally use others, but have found this to be the “hub” of my iPad. Everything inspire offers it does very well, extending all the way to customer service. The developer is always there quickly if you need assistance, and is as pleasant as they are helpful. Lots of fun, and usually the only frustration is my pencil running low on power.

Not ready for prime time.

Buggy and awkward interface. Feels like a throwback to something designed in the 90’s. For example: Try starting a new project, selecting a photo, but change your mind and want a different photo, there is no “back” you have to select “photo” again and start scrolling through your photos from the start again. Almost like no one even tested it or tried to use the app before they released it. Another example, try changing the size of the old-brush, a blank rectangle shows up with no feedback at all about what you’re doing, resizing etc. Oh yeah, no layers? That’s pretty lame. This app feels clunky. I admit the tech of the brush-strokes is pretty cool, but it ain’t no good if the app itself is sub-par. I’d look elsewhere, unless you’re willing to put up with an awkward interface to get a nice brush effect.

Love the app

I've been using this app for about two years & I love it. I just got the iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil. The Pencil works well with the app, even with an otterbox defender case on it. I would ask the developers if they could add a palm rejection feature so I can rest my palm on the writing surface without leaving marks. And a ruler, like they have in Apple Notes would be great. ThanksThe developers got back to me and told me how in the gestures menu, you can set it so only the Apple Pencil leavesAny strokes. I'm pleased to say that it works great! Thanks so much in responding so quickly to my query. If I could give you guys a higher rating then a 5-star, I definitely would.

Great app! Just some room for improvement.

This app is AMAZING. There is just a little room for improvement.I would really like it to be easier to scroll in the gallery. I would also like it so that you can adjust the size of the paper. When I have to draw on a small scale, everything is all pixelated and it is kinda hard to draw like that. Also, I would like it so that there would be more brushes. I can draw with the brushes we have now but maybe other people might want more for different effects. Also, like Procreate, you should have layers. It would make blending way easier.I would really like to see these changes in the next update if possible. Great app though!

I LOVE this app

*Update* This app is the main reason I bought an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil!!I really don't have a lot of artistic ability but I have made some amazing paintings with this. Currently I mainly use the oil painting feature... guess you could say that I am digitally oil painting. And they have been great when I have a question, even if its wondering how to do something in the app. I have tried several drawing/painting programs and this is the first that I could actually create something worth sharing!

An app that keeps you focused on what matters in art.

I was a little skeptical to buy this app at first because, frankly, there isn’t much information about it anywhere on the web. When I pulled the trigger, I was initially disappointed because, unlike similar apps, there are no layers. But I realized that this could be to my advantage once I started thinking like a painter. Layers are convenient and sometimes necessary, yes, but without them, it felt like more of an organic experience. I had to really think about what I was doing, be more prepared and take more risks. I found the app to be highly intuitive and was pleased with the results. I think if you have a desire to utilize traditional painter skills and not rely on shortcuts and technology, then you will not be disappointed. It is possible to produce beautiful realistic paintings using this app. It has an abundance of brushes from oil paint to charcoal to markers, etc. Although it’s more expensive than nearly everything else in its class, I still think it was worth it for me and I recommend it highly.

The power to create right at your fingertips

Imagine having an art studio filled with colored pencils, artists markers, chalk, charcoal, oil paints, acrylics, sketching pens & pencils & And endless supply of canvas and paper of every type of imaginable. That’s what you get with this program.I’ve only just begun to play with it and am amazed at the ability to mix and blend colors and mediums with stunningly real appearance. And yet I have none of the mess I would were I working with those mediums outside of the digital workspace.Granted there is something to be said about the tactile feel of paint and charcoal on your skin and in your hand. But for usability and ease of switching between materials, this program is amazing. I am eager to complete several projects I’ve been trying to finish with the help of inspire Pro.
