Wand - AI canvas

If you are good at drawing/creating digitally you’ll get a lot out of this app. Not only is it a massive timesaver but it allows you to understand what really makes your style distinctive. Having someone else(the app) draw like you do provides a little distance emotionally and therefore really cool perspective on what it is you create. Also its just fun to play around with and understand the styles of your favorite artists.

App was good as a stand-alone tool for adding detail to sketches. Recent update removed all on-app rendering and blocks it with a paywall only option. Classic bait and switch bull. Don’t install, the app is now a pay only tease and offers nothing without first paying money. Edit: developer claims there isn’t a paywall, yet after the first 5-6 renders, once you’re -just- starting to understand the app, paywall popup, subscribe or the app is useless. I had the app installed already and updated it (yknow, normal behavior), tried to use it and it throws up the paywall modal the first time I tried to render a sketch. So a paywall was absolutely added on the recent update. The “drawing feature” isn’t a feature. Procreate is a small fee, one time, forever and it’s an actual well respected drawing app. Previous versions of Wand would render using your device, so it was a decent app that had the option of subscribing for faster speed and more render options. If you’re going to pay money for an AI art service, there are so many better options with a ton more features. Just sad to see this app turned to another subscription gateway and removing any offline usability it once had. I remember when iOS apps were useful offline, do you? Spend your time and money elsewhere.

Wand is amazing as I use it everyday in my workflow. I train custom models with my own art and generate more images in that same style with custom prompts. From there I’m able to add features in the generated images retaining the custom style which has been hard to impossible to do in the other alternatives out there. I can see the progress they’ve made over the last few months and it seems to only be getting better! Excited to see it continue improving!
