I have used this app for several yrs for all different types of projects. I love that as well as using your own files. You can also search for whatever image(s) needed straight from the app. It's very user-friendly as well. Love this app!

Needed to make a book cover for a english class and my phone was all I had. But google would try to zoom me in and ai art didn't work so this was my last option and it was really useful not many ads, good area of work.

First of all, I love this app. Now, let's get to it. This app is exactly what you need if you're looking for a way to draw something and you don't know how to on your own. There's a search bar to look for the things that you want to draw. All you do is (1) type in what you're looking for (2) pick the one you want to draw (3) make it the size you want (4) lock the screen so it doesn't move around and (5) trace away. The best thing is THERE IS HARDLY ANY ADS TO DEAL WITH! Happy Drawing!!

Perfect app for tracing!! I have it on my tablet and my phone. I've tried other lightbox apps and they were full of ads and hard to navigate or wouldn't lock my screen. This app is perfect. I've used this app for years now and it's still the best and easiest to use.

i love the app. My husband is a tattoo artist and I use the app to trace out the pictures for the transfer on to the skin. The only problem I have had is it leaving the application in the middle of my tracing it. .on my phone it being a android of course I end up pulling down the menu from the top. other than that everything is great. i recommend it to a lot of people.

Really simple, great! One suggestion, it would be great to be able to move the image around the screen, to centralize or focus on certain parts of big images! Update: this feature is now in place! Question: why can you only zoom out to .9.

It doesn't play nice with the Chromebook hotkey to temporarily disable the touch screen. The lock icon works, but if you're using a Chromebook that can turn into a tablet, like the ASUS Flip C302, somehow it starts shuffling things around when you lay the key side on the desk. I had trouble with it zooming and moving when I was trying to trace, even when locked. But it worked, sort of. Good for an emergency light box. Doesn't replace a real one.

I love this app and to me there is only one downfall. There is no way to delete files unwanted in the tracer app. For instance I use this app to enhance my drawing and art skills so I dont want family pictures or cars Im looking at or documents that are screen shot from a download. There is no option to delete photos not meant for this app. Other than that I have NO problem with this app and it has definately defined some of my art skills. Great app all in all!

I love being able to use this app to find ideas from! The only thing i wish it offered was a search history list of descriptions that a person searches for. Sometimes a person does not remember the exact wording they used to find a specific picture with, and a similar phrase does not always generate the exact same findings. Overall, though, i really enjoy this app!!
