The new teckningsappen Linea from the Iconfactory delivers properly, with great support for Apple Pencil and an intuitive interface.
Icon Factory can do more than just design great looking icons. The studio is also behind a number of IOS apps, of which the most famous probably is the Twitter client Twitterific. Now is the Icon Factory, however, back in the spotlight with yet another app, this time exclusively for the Ipad.
Linea called the, and is a teckningsapp in particular built around the Apple Pencil. Although it’s possible to draw with your finger too, but it is not recommended. Ever since the Ipad Pro was launched in 2015, it is Apple themselves who set the standards to use the Apple Pencil without any lag – best works Notes with its built-in drawing mode. Other apps have managed various good to accomplish a quick and laggfri uppelvelse, regardless of whether it is in text notes, or artistic creation.
Linea is the first app I encountered where laggen is just as good as Apple’s Notes. It is not entirely free from the lag, and by drawing bushy and fast with many features, it is possible to get the device to lose the speed. But during normal use, interferes with it is not at all, but the bar is floating under the pen just as fast as if it were a real paper. It feels phenomenal, and is something that all third party apps should strive towards.
The other thing that makes the Linea a pure pleasure to use is the interface, which is exemplary, free of buttons, options, and controls. Of course there are more advanced apps to create, but few that are this easy to use compared to the features offered. Here are five stocks to draw away, and a number of different virtual pappersbakgrunder and patterns. It is clear that the app is tailored for the developers, for a part of the templates is the outline of tablets, mobile phones or app-icons. Perfect for sketching up a quick layout of the app before the hard coding starts. The other pattern is a grid of different size and kinds – a favorite is the isometric grid that will certainly appeal to many game developers who want to design courses.
Stock and setting for backgrounds is located on a small control panel on the right hand side of screen, along with the various pens available to choose from. Nor here is there any weirdness; this includes pencil, ink and marker pen. All have three different sizes at the tip. It is also possible to select if, for example, överstrykningspennan should be additive or non-additive. The latter makes it possible to draw on previous field and replace the color, while it förstnämda allows the two fields mixed up.
On the other side of the screen there is a control panel for color selection, and here is the app automatically nearby shades. This makes it very easy to for example, the shadow of an object, or find colors that fit well together. It is also possible to save your own colours here and build together their own palette. The entire interface does a very good job at keeping the screen free from too much control. Nyansvalen and other settings folds up from the grundknapparna, and disappear when they are no longer used. Full focus on the actual signing.
The five layers is, of course, in the smallest team compared to Photoshop and Pixelmator, but does just fine for what the app is for; namely, sketches and creativity. It is easy to, for example, sketch up a drawing with pencil in grundlagret, and then fill in with more details, ink and colors in the layers above.
another snilledrag that Linea offers for subscription with Apple Pencil is that the user’s finger smoothly works like the eraser. It is much easier to just drag your finger to remove an unsuccessful dash than to choose suddverktyget with the pen. Nifty!
Linea is a premiumapp, and costs accordingly. 109 crowns to the Icon Factory, and then it acts like I just said with the Ipad, and is in all honesty the best suited for the Ipad Pro with Apple Pencil. For those who are on the lookout for a really smooth and intuitive app for sketching and drawing, it is however among the best so far. Full points for the Linea from the Icon Factory.
