Better, but…. This iteration of AR is an improvement with one significant UI flaw. The tool picker and color picker are clumsy. Worse, the tool picker can’t get out of its own way. It constantly pops onto the canvas, causing you to inadvertently switch tools. One second you’re using pastel, the next an airbrush. Annoying and distracting. Using a 2021 iPad Pro.

A Better undo?. This app would be absolutely perfect if it had a 2 finger tap undo like other art apps have. Other than that it’s great for realistic looking paintings.

essential item in art toolkit. Glad to have ArtRage on an iPad pro. The tools are great but for me, ArtRage’s main feature is subtlety. Zoom in as much as you like, and you really don’t see pixels, just the transitions among color and intensity. None of my other great art tools do this. I’d like to see selections added to the iPad OS version..iPhone, too. The iPad version suffers from unreliable palm rejection, often resulting in the brush size widget appearing as you’re drawing, forcing you to scale the brush size up, then down, in order to dismiss it to resume seeing what you’re drawing. Would hope the devs would address this.

.. I love the impasto effect. I import my paintings from procreate and paint over with artrage and it works so well.

Crashes delete gallery.. Three times The app has crashed. Each time I lose all my work. I love the app. I hate the way it stores the work.

Huge Step Up. Been using the original version for 3years, and this latest Artrage is way smoother than the previous

Keeps crashing!. Nice features but useless when app continues to crash and all progress is lost.

It has potential. I love ArtRage on Windows but would really love to be able to use the Apple pencil and iPad to draw. However not all of the key features are on Vitae for iPad yet so I hope the developers keep working at it. I would pay more if they included essential features like custom brush, brush designer, and stencils. But right now it doesn’t suit my needs since I need custom brushes and stencils to use this for what I really want (emulating traditional painting and calligraphy). We need to be able to control the brush shape and whether the brush angle is controlled by pencil tilt angle (azimuth).

I really want to like it. I keep hoping artrage will impress me but I usually end up disappointed. Clunky U.I., lack of options, just O.K. Brushes that are often cumbersome to use and organized in a frustrating way. If you are a primarily traditional artist, and arent familiar with a lot of software, this might be good for you while you get used to digital art. But for me, an experienced digital artist, this is another letdown. Also, there is no excuse for not including 2 finger tap undo at this point. Its standard across many apps and it is SO frustrating when its not default, or an option.

Why this new version?. ArtRage has always been a go-to for realistic digital painting especially for those who like a UI that’s familiar to fine artists, with a tray of brushes and media tools instead of a Photoshop-like interface. I’ve used AR for years but when I saw this new version I thought finally they updated this app which has never really changed in over a decade. Nope…still the same. It looks and behaves exactly like the original app. So what’s “Vitae” about it? Head scratcher. Still good and worth using but wonder why it exists unless purely to dupe original users into buying. Guilty!

To many issues.... I really want to enjoy this app but it has way too many bugs. The color picker doesn't work, the color picker eyedropper doesn't show up, brushes randomly don't work, some brushes randomly stop working, the canvas randomly flips around, the palette knives feel like they only work at 10%...And way more It's a mess

Incredible Color Blending for iPad. Big thanks to the developers of this art software. With Procreate’s lack of realistic color blending I gave up on using the iPad for art. Upon buying ArtRage Vitae and seeing it immediately mix blue and yellow to create a beautiful green color I am realizing there is hope for the future of art on the iPad. The sad grey mush you get when mixing blue and yellow in inferior art programs makes ArtRage Vitae a must-buy. Just hold your finger down on the color in the lower right to access the Real Color Blending. My Bob Ross dream is coming true.

Superb New ArtRage App 👌🏻. Glad to have a new ArtRage app again, thank you very much. I like the few new tools and features as well. If you enjoy art and painting i highly recommend this uniquely cool application. Many thanks to the developers for this new app and God bless.

Seriously lacking. program is not very user friendly -should be a two finger undo like every other painting program -also should have option for a blank white canvas -needs way more gesture controls All in all seriously lacking expected more from them as the computer version is great However one plus is the reference image option

A good start … maybe. We’ve waited a long time for an ArtRage Mobile update. And we get this as a new program... not an update. Ok, you so maybe it was a re-write from the ground up. FWIW I use the desktop version and frankly it’s outstanding. This one ... lackluster.... I use a 10.5” IPad Pro with Apple Pencil I. Pros: ~somewhat larger canvas spaces ~Being able to make the tools larger than 100% also a con, see below. ~Option for real color blending on the color picker ~More settings for individual brushes ~More layer settings ~. Theres the clone tool which some may like. It doesn’t really do much for me. Overall - felt more like an update than a new version. Should have been transparent about that. Cons: ~Need a slider for the tool size that goes all the way up to the 500%. The slider going up to 100% then having to type in the tool size >100% is cumbersome. ~maybe it’s just me but I wasn’t getting much tilt response. I use the Apple Pencil. ~Need the saved files to appear in Files folders like other art apps. ~Of all the things to bring over from the desktop version we still can’t create our own custom brushes. ~ I understand there are some new touch gestures but I could figure them out. Maybe some help documentation would clear that up. Summary: It’s not horrible for the price paid for it, but it’s a little underwhelming from a company that produces such a good product for the desktop. I’m going to be optimistic and believe that this is a step in the direction of a really solid final product.

A let down. The watercolor presets & brush behaviors are great. Though I had been hoping to get a drip behavior by tilting the iPad. The pencil is fine too. I just wish any other tools had been worth using. The oil brush and tube of paint tools are painfully bad. Their strokes are so, so cringe. Maybe it looks less horrible on a lower res screen? And who on earth thought a glitter tool was a good idea? Any app with a glitter tool is for kids - not for artists/professionals. Honestly at least half of the tools should be reworked or removed. Better to be rid of them than to keep a poor implementation. If I'd had the option to test the app first I wouldn't have chosen to purchase it after. After everything I had read about the desktop app, I had expected more.

Loving it. After using the original ArtRage app for the lovely watercolor effects I decided to try this new one. Amazing. I’m loving what it can do. And for such a low price. The instructions were a little hard to find on the website, but I’m now excited about trying all the features and tools. I’ve tried many art apps and I keep coming back to this one.

First Impressions, good could be better.. The drawing / painting engine is good, however the experience of using the app needs work. It doesn’t appear to support pencil hover on iPad Pro, nor doubletap on the pencil’s side to change tool (eg to eraser, or even better a per-tool option so oil paint could be alternated with palette knife, etc). The app would benefit from some proper paper sizing controls - width & height in mm, combined with pixel density in dpi.

Great app. Love this app. No other app mixes colour like this one.

Amazing Tool. I have used ArtRage for a few years now. Very simple and yet very powerful. Very analog simulation of artists tools and you will not be disappointed. Highly recommended

Improvement over predecessor. It appears that Vitae is just a slightly less buggy/more stable version of the last iPad version of ArtRage. Rather than fix the last version, they charged for a new one. I wonder what they’ll call and charge for the next service patch.
