What’s New
Version 1.1.7
NEW FEATURES in 1.1.7
Exporting- Fixed some bugs related to exporting. Some of the UI was unresponsive when hitting export within the app. This was most likely due to some newer IOS versions that were later released. *** Please keep in mind that exporting/ importing directly into other apps such as Dropbox or even using Airdrop and Discord all work completely differently because of how those apps are created. We, unfortunately, can not improve much on batch exporting/ importing into these apps unless those developers improve how their apps deal with multiple images being imported or passing through them. For batch exporting images, I still recommend hooking up Dropbox/ Google Drive to the files app on your iPad and just batch exporting through the files app from Vizref.
Please also keep in mind that batch exporting hundreds of images at once will most likely crash Vizref. This is also out of our control. I recommend batch exporting about 50 images at once for the most stable and consistent experience. Vizref and other apps can't export hundreds of images at once because every app on the iPad is limited to how much Memory it can use during all operations. The app is crashing because of the hard limit set by Apple for each app.
Features
- Revert Button- Revert will undo any cropping or rotating you've done to the image. The main reason for adding the revert button was that some users were finding their images were oddly scaled/ stretched to the wrong ratio. Revert is a backup for returning your image to the correct ratio/ scaling - the revert button is located in the toolbox icon at the bottom right after selecting an image.
- Exporting gif files. Should work now give it a try!
*Bug Fixes*
-Fixed a bug that caused images from your board to not display if your board crashed on exporting. This bug should be completely gone. If it persists after updating your app please contact us at vizrefpro@gmail.com
**If your images have disappeared from your board, please note that those images are still on you iPad and stored locally. You can retrieve them by going to the Files app then searching for your Vizref folder in " On My iPhone " or " On My iPad" file
Open "Private Documents" then you will see each .VRB file. These are your reference boards and store your images locally. You can then retrieve your images here.
Fixed some crash bugs.
Fixed several UI inconsistencies and bugs.
Ratings and Reviews
Recommend to anyone in art - Awesome app! (with small requests)
This app is awesome! I have both the iPad and iPhone versions, and they have been amazing! The iPad version almost makes me wonder how I ever did art without it. I’m really glad I got both. Really nice, easy to use, great app. For me the following will make it a definite 5star (personal preference) 1) Auto lock(sleep) prevention When I want to use the app while working on another device, you have to toggle your setting to stop the phone from auto locking, and going black. I know it’s a small thing, but it can het annoying + I worry that I will forget to turn the setting back on. I hope they implement this soon. (Maybe only while the eye icon(?) is on? Especially since there are no multi task features on the phone) 2) Multiple import from files I can import multiple photos, but not from files(you can on iPad with multi task). Now I import file to photos first, as a work around. It’s not a dealbreaker, but would be nice. 3) Syncing option I feel an iCloud sync option, would be really nice. Or an export board function? Sometimes you spend a lot of time arranging your boards, or you update a board on 1 device, but have to do it all again to have the same items on your other device.
Amazing but missing something
I use this app extensively on iPad and iPhone.
it’s the closest thing to pure ref which is the PC counterpart. I do have one minor complaint: The app seems to be missing a multi select feature. there doesn’t seem to be a way to move around groups of images at a time. I have searched around and cannot find a solution That really slows down my creative process, as I needed to be able to manipulate images with similar concepts or elements. But if this feature were to be added in a future update I will gladly add the last star to this review
Highly HIGHLY recommended
So great all the photos when batch importing don’t lay on each other, strange you have to flip the hd switch to have images imported in HD happy it’s there just strangers it’s not just on. It does works, strangely “HD” photos I get from bing or google still show up pixelated but that could be the photo itself and not the app, the app does brighten the images imported, when compare from In app and the photos app. Found rotating accidentally should be a icon like the flip or b/w filter and then rotate from there, also I would like to be able to rotate individual images and not just the whole board, aside from that I do like the intuitive rotating gesture just needs a better spot or icon, sadly can’t do multiple select, love the new eye icon being apart to move around the board without any of the ui, still solid fluid stable app just like before still highly recommend
