Version history
1.1.7
2021-06-08
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.
Feature
- 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 [email protected]
**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.

2020-12-03
NEW FEATURES in 1.1.6
Exporting!-We've added multiple ways to export images that you've gathered in your Vizref boards. To access exporting features simply click the gear icon at the top left and choose which type of exporting you'd like to use. Save images will send your images directly to your root Photo Album on your device. Currently, we are dependant on using the files app for exporting locally or to cloud storage. You can choose any folder you'd like for batch exporting all your images or you can even flatten your board as one image and export that.
-We've discovered some functionality issues with ios14 and specifically the files app. For the best exporting results we recommend exporting and batch exporting images to "On My iPad" or "iCloud Drive" These two locations seem to have the best results. If you're exporting to files>dropbox or files>google drive, there seem to be irregularities. Please if you notice problems here report them to apple and not us. Apple needs to update its files app functionality.
*For Procreate users, My recommendation for referencing multiple images from your Vizref Board is to "export selected" as one image. Save that flattened image to your photos app. Then you can import your new flattened reference board into Procreate's Reference Image viewer window! This is a great way to save screen space.
*Printing and other share functionality is in the works. You can't Print directly from Vizref yet but if you simply save your board as a PDF you can Print the saved image from your photos album. Use the new export features to send your Reference as a PDF to print!
Simply select Export> Export Board>PDF
Wait for the Exporting UI to appear then scroll down to save the image.
Open photos album and select the saved board
Click the share icon on the upper right corner and choose print.
-Improved HD image usage. HD image mode was still lowering the resolution of images too much. We've increased the resolution limit here. BUG FIXES- A lot of our time was spent fixing bugs and crashes related to the new ios 14 release. Sorry for the delay. ios14 was released out of the blue for us and seemed to cause a lot of problems for users. We've gone through all the crash reports and have successfully dealt with all the crash issues we could find!
Please continue to email us if there are still bugs preventing you from using VizRef.
FEATURES in 1.1.5
Added IMAGE ROTATE!-select an image-look for the new tool box icon-rotate image!Multiple images can be rotated together as well by using multiselect.
Sorry for the delay on this! There were ALOT of bugs to fix when adding this feature.
* LOW MEMORY BUG- a small number of users were experiencing a bug that caused them to get a low memory message in their first boards when the boards were relatively empty. We believe that this was a memory crash error and that we have resolved all the bugs related to this issue. We have not however been able to reproduce this bug internally. If you are still experiencing this error that causes a low memory pop up in an empty boardWe have found that if you experience this bug in your first boards, simply uninstalling the app and reinstalling it will remove this bug completely from Vizref.
If you need further assistance* please contact us directly at [email protected] *
We are still looking for a better fix but reinstalling has been working very well and no users have complained of the bug returning afterwards.
We are listening to all feedback for requested features. Please look forward to free updates in the future of more great tools for referencing your favorite inspirational images. Thank you all so much for the support!-mrbeezul

FEATURES in 1.1.2
-Improved Auto Pack! - AutoPack now works on any batch import from Photos, Files, and Drag and Drop. It Auto works! Simply import multiple images into your board and they are no longer imported on top of one another.

To use simply click and hold away from images to invoke a marquee tool. Drag select and press the auto pack button located in the image toolbar. Currently, it neatly packs all selected images by averaging the heights while trying to maintain images in order of how they are arranged already. This means Pack will attempt to keep adjacent images close to one another instead of randomizing their order. We will most likely add options to how images are packed in the future.
-*FOCUS MODE* when toggling the eye icon at the top right, you will now be able to zoom canvas, double click images for fast zoom, pan, and ROTATE your imageboard without accidentally moving your images around! The Ui is also hidden and much smaller in this mode to help you focus! No more accidentally image nudging.

-Improvements to importing from files
-Async loading added to autopack to give a better and more responsive user experience to images loading into the board
BUG FIXES
- Fixed a bug where selected images were jumping around a bit if you accidentally used another finger on the screen while moving the selected image.
-Fixed a bug that caused your first board thumbnail to be too low resolution
- Fixed Slow zooming bug
- Lowered the minimum size for images that are imported to 10x10. this should help with pixel artists that were importing very small images into the board but not being able to scale them
- *Multi-select improvements. *Click and hold away from images to invoke lasso multi-select marquee. *
* LOW MEMORY BUG- a small number of users were experiencing a bug that caused them to get a low memory message in their first boards when the boards were relatively empty.

MemeLord_11,
Love it! But I’ve got a suggestion.
To introduce myself, I am a 14 year old artist working on a webcomic, but I’ve just started on the character designs and the world that the characters live in. There is currently nothing about it online, but I’ll update this when the first page comes out! That might take a while though.
This app is very helpful for many reasons. The first is the clipboard feature; you can copy-paste images, and it’s very useful. I use it all the time. I also love how you can change the theme from light to dark, though I only use the dark one.
And now, the suggestion!
Whenever I insert an image, I often want to type notes on it, such as what elements of it I want to use for the design. BUT I am unable to type those notes.
I think there should be a markup feature, where you can draw and type on pictures. And also a feature where you can add text beside a picture as well.
For now, I’m writing notes on my drawing app and copy-pasting it into this wonderful app. If the feature is added, I’ll give this review another star ;)
Thank you for reading, it is much appreciated!

"The Imp",
Simply Fantastic, Fantastically Simple
I’ve been really enjoying using VizRef. I’m a comic creator and when I use writing apps I always delight in a nice virtual free form cork board filled with index cards, and now VizRef has provided me with that feature for visuals. As much as I’m using it to pull up specific references and look at them while drawing, I’m also using it as much or more to build inspiration and idea boards. I’d like to see the addition of some form of cloud backup & sync. I like cleaning out my overburdened camera roll and pushing all those materials to VizRef but worry about the risk of losing a large reference collection. I also use an old iPad for reference while at my drafting table so that I can keep all the screen real estate for drawing on the primary iPad, yet when on the go, split screen is the way to go... hence the desire to sync VizRef boards in the cloud for multi device use. A very simple markup tool would also be of interest. I frequently want to drop a reminder note or a quick circle on areas of interest from a reference. It’s doable now by copy pasting into Notes, marking up & re-importing, but it would be nice within the app. It’s a fine line to not over clutter a streamlined and conceptually simple app, but I wonder if these are already on the roadmap or if others have interest in such features. Either way, keep up the great work!
Sean Bailiff,
Nice but not even close to a cigar
Don’t get me wrong. This app is really useful when it comes to pulling up references for drawing, piecing together pictures, and helped me out in class one time. It’s simple and easy to use, however that’s the app’s downside. You are very limited when it comes to how you mess with your boards. I couldn’t even draw on the boards when I was presetting pictures in a group forcing me to open up Procreate. There is a lack of transform tools to mess with your image forcing you to edit in a photo editing app even if it’s minor. The rotation tool only rotates the image 90 degrees one way and that’s all you can do and why is it in a briefcase icon with the flip-vertically tool while the rest of the tools are out on the small bar? The flip-horizontally tool is on there so why can’t the rest as well? You can’t even drag them out. Another thing that annoys me is there is no way to auto-sort your boards or put them in folders. You can drag them in between each other one by one while the board doesn’t tell you if it’s going to do so cause it flickers like crazy.
I think app has potential but it’s not there yet. It’s hard to recommend this $3 app when your paint app can do better on the side of the canvas in a folder with layers. Hope the app gets the improvements it needs.

Reid the Red,
Can’t fully articulate how great this app is.
Have a project you need reference for? This is the place to save it. Open up your browser side by side with VIZREF. Choose a pic from your browser. Hold the pic with one finger and drag it to VIZREF. Once you have one pic, or many pics, open VIZREF fully. Now you can resize and move your saved reference pics. Want a giant board with thousands of tiny pics. No problem. Not only can you change the size of the pic you want at any time (within reason- make it much larger than the original file and it gets blurry, you’ll have to play around with the app to get the ins and outs) you can also move it anywhere on the board AND THEN you can zoom the board in and out with the pinch gesture. Yes this app cost you some money, but it’s well worth it. Create the board anywhere you have internet, save it and when you are away from home (or just don’t have internet access) you can access all your photo refs you saved in this app. It’s not Pinterest, yes you can save photos, but this is JUST the pics you save. No suggestions, no ads. Just you, your reference pics and your imagination. BUY IT RIGHT MEOW...seriously though, it’s great.
kk31kr,
Love it but one big setback
Its a huge help and streamlines my process by a ton, its a simple tool but saves the clutter from my actual canvas. I love how it lets you scroll through gifs for animation studies, and being able to move the images around freely feels easier than scrolling up and down a pinterest board.
The only frustrating thing is sometimes my boards will crash and theres no way to recover lost images (as far as I can tell) It doesnt matter if theres a 100 images or 10 on a board it just Happens randomly and deletes pictures. I had to knock my rating down because I had just had a board crash and lose half the pictures, re-add in as many as I could find in my camera roll, only for it to crash again 10 minutes later and lose even more refs. I've also noticed the crashes happen when I try to export selected images. But yea this app gets the job done, I just hope the crash + erasing refs problem gets fixed

pearConfit,
What I’ve been searching for
This app is designed for one purpose, and it fulfills that purpose extremely well. Importing photos is a breeze, and the AUTO-PACK tool (!!!) is a lifesaver for anyone who’s spent way too much time trying to arrange refs into a neat grid in procreate or concepts.
The only feature I’d like to request is a simple pen tool, so we can make notes on the “canvas” (sometimes we’re only interested in part of a reference photo, so it’d be helpful to circle it, jot down notes, etc.). Once you accumulate a lot of refs, it can be hard to remember why exactly you saved that one photo. And maybe a function to “attach” the note to the photo so it won’t get lost even if you move the photo (and maybe the auto pack takes the note into account when rearranging, to prevent overlap?).
But even without all that, this app is phenomenal and has earned a permanent place in my digital toolset.

Mreeble,
Fantastic app!
Love it but am still hoping for other features!
This app came recommended to me by another artist and previously I was just organising my images in the photos app in albums and folders. This is SO much better! Very happy I bought the app and will definitely be using it in split screen with Procreate, and full screen for my traditional work.
My main feature request would be some kind of info screen with metadata and tagging for the images. Often I want to save an image from an artist, and would like to save the artist and/or website I’ve saved it from— doesn’t have to be automatic, happy to enter it manually! Not as something visible all the time, because the main ui is great! But when an image is selected, if one of the icons in the bottom corner was to bring up an info screen with the metadata (esp useful for photos I’ve taken), one or two editable fields for artist/source, and maybe optional tags that could be searchable from the main screen. This is also a frustration of mine with my previous set up with the photos app. Before that, I tried to use Evernote for my reference, but that was extremely unwieldy.
Overall, this is a fantastic and well thought out app. It’s so nice to use something clearly made with artists in mind! I’ve already recommended it to other artist friends!

pikawakka,
SO GOOD
I sincerely love this app. It works so well, and fast. I was really worried there would be way too many editing tools of some kind and it would essentially be a way easier way for reposters to edit stolen art. I was so happy to be Proven wrong. It is literally just to doof around and put the images you need for a pose/ or piece down and i love it.
The only things i do wish it included are very superficial like the ability to scale and transform an image a bit more, but i do understand this was not added to probably avoid people accidentally using the wrong arrows and making it frustrating as well as maintaining resolution. And the other is that i do wish you could move projects around to either order them in some way or makes files to group them. This is so amazing to use though thank you so much for making it.

Apprater404,
Lovely, but NEEDS text labeling
This is a great start and a handy tool for artists. But it desperately needs the ability to add text and label both individual photos, and groups of photos. It should also let’s us create a highlight box around photos to keep groups organized. For example, if I have 100 photos, each into 10 groups of 10, I would like the ability to create a color coded box behind each group of 10, label that group, and even label / caption individual photos in that group. Organization tools like these would be extremely helpful.
This app is great to have though! My only other suggestion is perhaps more snapping tools, like a illustrator-esq smart snap, and the ability to drag photos from Pinterest (might not be within the control of the app developers). It might also be helpful to scribble on the ref board.
Thanks for reading! I hope you consider these changes :-) great app!

Sillicacher,
I was set to give this app a five star but now....
Well I was very excited when I learned about this app. I was able to put my pics, PNGS etc and transfer them as this app intended to my Procreate etc. I was organizing setting etc and tonight I went to add some more items to a new file and now it crashes everytime I try to move a batch form camera roll to Visref.
Some files even becoming permanently crashed and unretrievable. Very disappointed and have lost hours of work and documents. Some very important documents have been lost, destroyed. Hoping to retrieve a couple things but likely not.
This app had such promise, and what a benefit but now I can’t do anything. I have restarted my iPad etc. short if removing and reloading the app, thus loosing everything I have set up I have not odne that.
Hoping I can get off a couple files but likely those important things are gone forever too.
Very very very frustrated and disappointed as I was finding this so helpful. Now I’m just feeling betrayed.
