PRAISE FOR INKPAD

“Thank you guys, I use this app all the time.”

“It’s really beautiful to use with an iPad Pro.”

“Inkpad is one of the killer apps for the iPad.”

“Works perfect on latest iPad Pro, Apple Pencil.”

“Inkpad is my favorite graphics app on any platform.”

“If you used to work with Inkpad in the past you should get this app to continue working with it.”

HISTORY

Inkpad was originally created by Steve Sprang in 2011, following on from his success with the art package Brushes. In 2013 he released it as Open Source with the intention of it being taken over as a community project. Unfortunately the Inkpad project went unmaintained for roughly 2 years and that app has now disappeared from the App Store.

With the disappearance of the Inkpad app I took over development because my wife Lindsay and I use Inkpad - you can see some of her artwork in the app screenshots and samples. I wanted to ensure the continued development and support of a product we and others enjoy so much.
