Comments on Tracer! Lightbox tracing app for Android
★★★★★Mónica Carreras-Oliva· Nov 9, 2025
Exactly what I was looking for! I use my tablet to trace digital images, and this app is absolutely perfect. It lets me open pictures directly, adjust the brightness, and lock the screen, so the image doesn’t move while tracing. Simple, clean, and does exactly what it promises. Highly recommended!!!

This app is awesome! Perfect for tracing... makes someone who can't draw very well (like me) look like a true artist. Lol

★☆☆☆☆Ariane De joseph· Jul 8, 2025
it's good but I ask for tracing in the phone not tracing on paper
★☆☆☆☆Matt Montano· Apr 18, 2026
Why can't you just zoom out and have the app accept that maybe you want it at .85 and for it to not assume you actually just mean .99?
★★☆☆☆Rania Cierb· Mar 18, 2025
