Comments on Handy Art Reference Tool for Android

★★★★☆ Asit · Apr 5, 2023
Excellent app for artists. So many provisions for creating hand poses. But, controlling rotation/movement of hand could have been easier.
★★★★★ Robin Finch (Birdle) · May 26, 2023
Honestly one of my favorite things to use for art references because even when getting the perfect photo for what I want to draw, there is still details like head position, hands, etc. I often need a better reference of and that's where this tool comes into play. Especially since you can move the individual fingers of the hand models.
★★★★★ Lexi Lemley · Jan 1, 2025
This helped my hand drawing skills immensely, I went from drawing cartoon balloon-like hands to drawing anatomically correct hands!!!
★☆☆☆☆ benjamin delong · May 3, 2024
I really don't know why people say this is a great app. It has no "free" things to make it worthwhile. It doesn't change skin tone even tho I change the setting. It doesn't "bend at all the joints" like one reviewer said, and honestly it's the same tired boring poses and references that most free apps have. Save your money and buy poseit or the promo app. You'll get more for your hard-earned dollar. If I could return this app I certainly would. Very, very disappointing.
★★☆☆☆ Lar Cramp · Nov 3, 2022
Nice app but shame about the models. What's there are fine, but after paying for the app, then realizing you have to pay more for animal skulls and yet more again for feet, the whole thing seems scammy. How hard is it to import some public domain 3D models. We bought the app, why try and fleece us for what should be stock models.
★★☆☆☆ I Drink Milk · Mar 7, 2026
Does what it advertises MOSTLY. "See what shadow the head casts at certain angles" is NOT TRUE. WHY do the objects NOT cast shadows on environment? It makes this whole thing almost pointless. Please add this feature and I will change this review to 5 stars HAPPILY. As it stands? It's fine for very restricted light interaction study. But without environmental lighting, what's the point? No object exists in empty space. Everything MUST CREATE A SHADOW. PLEASE.

I purchased the feet model too. Only to return a few minutes later with said model gone. Asking me to buy it AGAIN
