Review of Inspire Pro for iPad

Inspire Pro gives you limited options when drawing.

Searching through Apps Gone Free on iPad I ran across this program and decided that since it was free for the day I would give it a shot. On first glance Inspire Pro reminds me a lot of Tayasui Sketches without the bar showing on the drawing tools.

Inspire gives you three primary options when it comes to drawing and painting 1) Wet Brush, 2) Dry Brush and 3) Eraser Tool. Under wet brush and dry brush you have a few options that involve a regular brush, airbrush, shapes, pencil and crayon. Beyond that each brush has a limited amount of sizes to choose from. You can adjust the size of the mark and the rotation giving you a small amount of flexibility, but that is about it when it comes to tools.

There is a great color pallette option, but that is about all that Inspire Pro has going for it. The app looks like it was developed to be used on the iPhone which makes sense, but it don't hold up when it came to the iPad.

Pros:

1. It will probably work great on an iPhone or iPod Touch to draw and sketch.

Cons:

1. The graphics used in the program are blurry and uninspiring.
2. Limited tool options and no layers make it something I don't want to draw on.
3. The $9.99 price tag is way to high for what you get (I could purchase Procreate and ArtStudio at that price point and be set for drawing tools.
