I found myself having to tap a few of the buttons in order to find the options I needed. My only gripe with the iPad version is how the file management (Gallery) is handled. Alternatively, you may choose to minimize the panels, only showing the currently selected tool. An excellent feature is having the option to keep the toolset and color wheel present at all times. Honestly, it has so much to offer, that I didn't miss those tools at all.Īll of the tools are accessible by tapping on the designated corner, and the color wheel is accessible by tapping on the opposite corner. The iPad version comes with most of the tools with the exception of the Effects Tools ('Gloop' Pen, Sticker Spray, Selection Tool, Transformation Tool, Text Tool) and the Utility Tools (Cloner, Gradient Fill, Pattern Fill). If you look at the comparison chart, you'll notice there are some tools that are present in the desktop versions that are missing in the iPad version.

If you're looking to create that digital masterpiece on the go, and more importantly, you're looking to do it on a budget… ArtRage for iPad is a good place to start.
