Comments on RefCanvas - Reference Board for Android

★★★★★ Ramanan Titus · Dec 19, 2023
This is the by far the best alternative for pure ref in Android. Some features are not working properly, saying that app is still in development. Hopefully this app gets better and if it's free then it's really helpful for a lot of people.
★★★★★ Ibrahim Azmi · Jun 10, 2024
This app got a potential. Just need that arrange feature, and it's all set.
★★★★☆ ryannxd · Aug 30, 2023
Good app for collecting art references, however app begins to crash once you have too many images in one board
★☆☆☆☆ zbor · Jun 4, 2025
I thought this app was going to be like puref but for android, what a total waste of money, can't copy or paste images for reference, the only images I was able to copy from was gallery, what was the point, I could have just used gallery for reference and the only thing that would paste from ref canvas was color codes, I thought one of the purposes of this app was, so you could copy and paste images from the Web to use for reference but that doesn't seem to be.
★☆☆☆☆ A O · Dec 15, 2023
GIF imports crash app edit: I have tried other GIF formats as well as learning how to compress GIF and webm formats using FFMPEG... still doesn't work. This isn't mentioning that most of the features are "still not available", even when upgrading to premium. Which is rather disappointing considering this app looks very similar to the open source pc app "Pure Ref" just with half as many features and requiring payment for more that still haven't been added.
★☆☆☆☆ Nadia Jamal · Oct 15, 2025
Very well-made and easy to use but 80 percent of features are locked behind a pay wall. Wouldn't recommend if you are a budget artist
