Linea Sketch Avis

Last update with subscription model made the app at best not very responsive on iPad pro 1st gen, and at times very very slow, needing a reboot. Now a click on a layer takes a goo 300ms to open the popup.

This was my favorite iPad app, now,it’s frustration.png.

I reckon that the whole OS on that generation of iPad is also a bit slower than it used to be, however Procreate hasn’t lost a notch of responsivity, while dealing with complex brushes on a 6000 × 5000 ppx canvas with 17 layers. Adobe PS, Tayasui Sketches are equally still responsive.

I let the 5 stars this app deserves, by design, but that was the last time I opened it I think. This issue plus the fact the app left me with all documents unsynchronised when I was unconnected. Support told me that,s how icloud works, but again no problem with other apps.

Je trouve ça pas tros tôpe bon voilà

Look, we’ve paid for an app because we were okay with your old business model. If you want to change it, so be it, but that’s not what we - customers - had agreed upon back when we paid for the app.
You want v3 to be subscription-based? Fine by me, but make v3 a separate app (and delete v2 from the app store if you really want to prevent new people to pay for it, while enabling those you paid for it to still download it). Please, don’t impose this change upon paying customers.

When I open the app, I try to chose either an existing sketch or try to create a new one, the app gets stuck and crashes. Pretty disappointed considering the developer reputation...

Hello, just in test phase, i don’t even know what the app is worth yet, it crashes everytime i tap on the tools bar .. wich one has only blank squares. Is it normal?
(iPad Air 2 and iOs 13.4.1)

Mais les basiques ne sont pas la. Très peu de brosses, moches, pas réglables...
Très très déçu par cet éditeur par ailleurs excellent

Très bonne application de croquis. Il lui manque juste l'inclinaison du pencil pour ombrer les dessins.
L'effacement par le doigt est génial, ainsi que la déclinaison des couleurs.
Le prix est élevé, certes mais l'application est de qualité et stable.

Dernière demande: import de photos et là l'application sera … parfaite!

I agree with @MonsieurDiaz’s review. Although I know you will not consider your customers desires or expectations with regards your payment scheme. I have been buying The Iconfactory software for over nearly two decades. I think I will have to now say goodbye to the company as it has decided to take the path of eternal Subscription. Goodbye The Iconfactory and thanks for all the fish!

Thank you for your reply. Nobody is against paying and supporting developers. A growing number, myself included, are simply against and sick of subscription models of payment. Paying for something forever and at the end of everything not owning anything or having yourself locked out of what you’ve paid for for years is just unviable and unethical. Just make us pay for a new major version of Linea every few years... Anyway, I understand and respect your decision. It just means I am no longer your customer. Best of luck!

This is it. The app I was waiting for. Simple so technic stays out of the way. Elegant and sensitive. I will never go back to Procreate or Sketchbook pro. They are to complicate. This app has not many tools but they are far enough to achieve beautiful works if you like to draw.
