3.6.4
2018-08-29
Based on your feedback, which we greatly appreciate, we have decided to remove all in-app purchases from Inspire Pro and make those 7 brush sets free, included in the original price of the app. Paint Splatter, Spray Paint, Charcoal, Pastels & Conté, Complex Shapes, Shape Outlines, and Patterns are now all available with this new update.
For those of you that already purchased any of the extra brush sets, we would like to extend a huge thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generous support. We are a very small team from Ottawa, Canada with no fancy Silicon Valley venture capital and so your support has allowed us to keep working on the app and doing what we love. Rest assured you have contributed to keeping an indie developer alive — one that is dedicated to bringing you awesome, free updates to Inspire Pro for as long as we can.
Speaking of updates, we are hard at work on our biggest one ever. Inspire Pro 4.0 will have many amazing new features, including layers. Stay tuned to our social networks @snowCanoe to find out when we will be starting our public beta if you’re interested in helping us test the new update.
Thanks again for your support and we hope you enjoy all of the extra brush sets!

Miscellaneous
• Thumbnails in the Gallery menu are much larger now and easier to see, taking up more space within the menu while keeping the menu width and height the same size
• Several bug fixes including better Apple Pencil response for hotspot buttons while painting and a fix for a freezing bug when the app goes into the background

• You can also import files and images in the New Canvas menu from iCloud Drive and other 3rd party services now
