HIGHLIGHTS

Key Metaspace Technologies

Sketching In 3D Feels Familiar

Metaspace keeps drawing gestures intuitive, so sketching in three dimensions feels as natural and immediate as drawing in two.

Depth Is Explicit While You Draw

The drawing plane sits between viewer layers, so every stroke appears at an exact and readable depth in the scene.

Useful tool

Rating: 5.0 / 5.0

A little bit tricky to use, but quite powerful. Pretty much the only useable option for quick 3D sketching on iOS.

Keep Going!

Dear Developer, please don't give up on this! The lifetime purchase and 5 stars aren't based on what you have done, it's based on the direction you're headed in. I love the pencil tool and the floating panels. Look forward to V16 and onward. I have faith in you!

Great fun for 3D art!

Rating: 5.0 / 5.0

Have been using this for nearly an hour just having fun creating doodle Art. Once you get used to it the possibilities seem endless. Thank you!

Love it

Rating: 5.0 / 5.0

This is a really good app so far and it has the potential to be very big too, my suggestion would be to make it very very user friendly and game-like since this is basically the art of the future so if you can appeal it to the much younger artisanal generation then i believe it will become a popular app, even now it's amazing I love doodling around and putting them in AR, keep up the great work developer(s)

Importing images

Rating: 4.0 / 5.0

I like the update so far, the user interface has improved which I like. In the previous version we was able to import images into the canvas, Is that option still available?

At last an alternative of mental canvas

Rating: 5.0 / 5.0

Its still new and has lots of potential. I am really looking foward for grouping function on things we draw. And I would say it is nice to have the group lock in place and can be move around. The drawing here feels explorative. Hope there will be updates for the apps.

Decent app

Rating: 3.0 / 5.0

It's good but the only thing I don't like is the fact that there's no tutorial at all so you have to learn how to do it yourself.

Is really interesting

Rating: 5.0 / 5.0

I've been using it, and is really good, just a little lag when there are many strokes in canvas, and it would be amazing to have xyz orientation, maybe you can find some ideas in "mental canvas" app... you're in a good way, just some fixes and it could be a boom! Thank you!!

Great + suggestions

Rating: 4.0 / 5.0

So I really like the idea of the app, but I have a suggestion which is an idea I haven't seen replicated anywhere else as of yet. So if you were to incorporate this into AR, you could project your project into the real world and explore what you (or others) have made. It can be used for brainstorming and as a 3D whiteboard. You can use your phone to draw maybe by moving it around in the real world and translating that into a line in the virtual world. But please give this some thought, maybe you are already working on it. Thanks.
